A dynamic simulation modeling approach to describing carbonflow-based, ecophysiological processes and biomass dynamics of freshwater submersed aquatic plant species has been developed. The models describe major, carbon-flow-based ecophysiological processes and biomass dynamics of four common freshwater species and how these are influenced by factors such as light, temperature, current velocity,...

Interest in using various nanoparticle catalysts to activate H2O2 with light for organic contaminant and wastewater treatment is steadily increasing. We successfully synthesized magnetically recoverable Cu0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles a simple co-precipitation method followed by melamine-assisted calcination. Material characterization revealed that melamine acted as coordinating agent during the ...

Avian vacuolar myelinopathy (AVM) was first recognized as a cause of bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) mortality in 1994 in Arkansas (USA) and has since caused over 90 bald eagle and numerous American coot (Fulica americana) mortalities in five southeastern states. The cause of AVM remains undetermined but is suspected to be a biotoxin. Naturally occurring AVM has been limited to wild water...
