Recent interest by producers, researchers, and industry personnel concerning the use of grain drills utilizing 7-in. versus 10-in. row spacing have raised questions as to the optimal drill-row spacing for rice. With the increase in hybrid rice produced and the associated low seeding rates, questions arose regarding the response of these cultivars to row widths. The objective of this study was t...

Impact of chevron spacing and asymmetric distribution on supersonic jet acoustics and flow" (2016).

There are two challenges in classifying lidar points into ground and non-ground points on Texas coastal areas, which usually has a low-lying landform consisting of morphological features including dunes, tidal and river channels with levees, barren flats, buildings, and trees with varying cover density. The first is to remove buildings and trees meanwhile keeping seawall, dunes, levees and chan...

[1] Hydraulic resistance of riparian forests is an unknown but important term in flood conveyance modeling. Lidar has proven to be a very important new data source to physically characterize floodplain vegetation. This research outlines a recent campaign that aims to retrieve vegetation fluid resistance terms from airborne laser scanning to parameterize trunk roughness. Information on crown cha...

n Contemporary studies indicate that teen pregnancy interferes with young women’s ability to graduate from high school and to enroll in and graduate from college.
