Prospects for e+e- physics at Frascati between the phi and the psi

We present a detailed study, done in the framework of the INFN 2006 Roadmap, of the prospects for e+e- physics at the Frascati National Laboratories. The physics case for an e+e- collider running at high luminosity at the phi resonance energy and also reaching a maximum center of mass energy of 2.5 GeV is discussed, together with the specific aspects of a very high luminosity tau-charm factory. Subjects connected to Kaon decay physics are not discussed here, being part of another INFN Roadmap working group. The significance of the project and the impact on INFN are also discussed. All the documentation related to the activities of the working group can be found in http://www.roma1.infn.it/people/bini/roadmap.html.Comment: INFN Roadmap Report: 86 pages, 25 figures, 9 table

Guide for the Location of Water Wells in Latah County

The report provides a summary analysis of ground-water conditions in Latah County. The Moscow subarea is part of the Palouse Basin. Ground-water information is presented for the Genesee subarea and the Potlatch subarea that shows a downward hydraulic g

Inputs and Outputs to Streams in the Moscow Pullman Basin, Idaho and Washington

The purpose of the report is to discuss major inputs and outputs to the streams flowing in the Moscow Pullman basin. Stream segments are examined relative to inputs, such as from wastewater treatment plants, and outputs such as pumps. Some description

Ground Water in the Pullman-Moscow Area, A Water Supply for the Future?

The results of the study were presented in a report by John Smoot and Dale Ralston published in 1987 through the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute. A U.S.G.S. report is in review and will be published. This brochure provides a summary of the research result

ADMINISTRATION OF GROUND WATER AS A NONRENEWABLE RESOURCE

Ground water is generally administered with surface water as a flow or renewable resource. In Idaho, the administration is based on the appropriation doctrine of water rights. This doctrine provides for the division of a perennial but limited supply of water between various users. The purpose of this paper is to show that more consideration should be given to the administration of ground water as a nonrenewable stock resource. The development of the water resource of the Raft River basin in Idaho is presented as an example of the inapplicability of the present statutory guidelines for the administration of ground water

Ground Water Development in Idaho 1969

The report describes ground-water development in Idaho with only a short section devoted to the Palouse Basin

Stabilization of microorganisms for in situ degradation of toxic chemicals

Methods for large-scale microencapsulation of bacteria and nutrients into microbeads with small enough diameters to travel through aquifers have been developed at the University of Idaho. Both free and immobilized cells of Flavobacterium ATCC 39723, a gram-negative aerobe that degrades various chlorinated phenols, into aquifer microcosms, through which pentachlorophenol (PCP)-contaminated groundwater flowed at in situ flow rates. Aquifer samples were collected with an auger from three wells at the University of Idaho Ground Water Research Site, and packed into 24 columns. Some sterile columns were also prepared, by irradiation at the Washington State University Radiation Center. In some of the columns the free Flavobacterium cells were mixed with the aquifer material before packing the columns. In others, agarose-microimmobilized Flavobacterium were mixed into the aquifer material. The effluent from each column was collected daily for 170 days and analyzed by UV spectroscopy or HPLC for remaining PCP. There were no statistically significant differences between the degradation rates of free or encapsulated Flavobacterium in sterile or native aquifer material as tested in these experiments. This work has shown at the lab scale that encapsulated PCP-degrading Flavobacterium were able to survive under conditions of starvation, predation, and lack of water

Scotland’s first farmers: new insights into early farming practices in north-west Europe

Thirty years after the discovery of an Early Neolithic timber hall at Balbridie in Scotland was reported in Antiquity, new analysis of the site's archaeobotanical assemblage, featuring 20 000 cereal grains preserved when the building burnt down in the early fourth millennium BC, provides new insights into early farming practices. The results of stable isotope analyses of cereals from Balbridie, alongside archaeobotanical and stable isotope results from three other sites, indicate that while cereals were successfully cultivated in well-established plots without manuring at Balbridie, a variety of manuring strategies was implemented at the other sites. These differences reinforce the picture of variability in cultivation practices across Neolithic North-west Europe
