Weed Control in Annual Strawberries Grown with Plastic Mulch: Efficacy, Phytotoxicity, and Soil Persistence Studies
Cool soil temperatures in Alaska are a limiting factor for many crops. Clear plastic mulch has been shown to increase soil temperatures, and use of this mulch has allowed the production of many warm season crops farther north than they could otherwise be grown. Clear plastic mulch and row covers are used in interior Alaska to promote early growth and increase yields of strawberries
Storage battery comprising negative plates of a wedge shaped configuration
An improved silver-zinc battery particularly suited for use in an environment where battery operation is subjected to multiple charge/discharge cycling over extended periods is described. The battery seperator system, containing a highly absorbent material continguous with the surfaces of the plates and multiple semi-permeable membranes interposed between the plates, is also characterized

A review of current and future food applications of natural hydrocolloids
The main aim of this review paper was to focus on current and potential future sources and food applications of natural hydrocolloids in the food industry. The emerging research trends, problems, new methods and alternative approaches in production, environmental concerns, market trends and newly discovered health benefits have been discussed for natural hydrocolloids of commercial relevance. The rheological and surface active properties, interactions, functional properties, films and coatings, encapsulation applications and nanotechnology uses of natural hydrocolloids have been discussed in the light of recent developments. This review also reflected the most up-to-date concepts of applying natural hydrocolloids to meet consumer's and food sector's sophisticated demands related to food products
Binary Black-Hole Mergers in Magnetized Disks: Simulations in Full General Relativity
We present results from the first fully general relativistic,
magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of an equal-mass black hole binary
(BHBH) in a magnetized, circumbinary accretion disk. We simulate both the pre
and post-decoupling phases of a BHBH-disk system and both "cooling" and
"no-cooling" gas flows. Prior to decoupling, the competition between the binary
tidal torques and the effective viscous torques due to MHD turbulence depletes
the disk interior to the binary orbit. However, it also induces a two-stream
accretion flow and mildly relativistic polar outflows from the BHs. Following
decoupling, but before gas fills the low-density "hollow" surrounding the
remnant, the accretion rate is reduced, while there is a prompt electromagnetic
(EM) luminosity enhancement following merger due to shock heating and accretion
onto the spinning BH remnant. This investigation, though preliminary, previews
more detailed GRMHD simulations we plan to perform in anticipation of future,
simultaneous detections of gravitational and EM radiation from a merging
BHBH-disk system.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
