Secondary Electron Yield Analysis Of Contamination Found On Long Duration Exposure Facility Panels, Trace Taylor
Student Research Symposium
The Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) was a NASA mission designed to view the long-term effects of space exposure which flew in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment from 1984 to 1990. The mission was originally planned to last 9 months but, after a series of delays resulting from the Challenger explosion, remained in space for 69 months before it was recovered. LDEF results are very noteworthy as the number of long exposure materials available for study is limited by the expense required to launch and retrieve them. USU received a plate that flew on the LDEF mission and has …

The Impacts Of Crop, Soil, And Water Management On Corn Silage Yield, Tina Sullivan
Student Research Symposium
A resource on the minds of nearly all in the Intermountain West is water. Increases in urban growth, less winter snowpack, watershed depletions, and persistence in drought continue to point towards the need to optimize water in agriculture. Numerous management practices today have water-saving capabilities or allow water to be used during more efficient times of the growing season. Some include advanced pivot technologies, drought tolerant crop genetics, and soil wetting agents. Many studies show these individual practices usually help optimize water use, yet few, have evaluated how these various combinations might combine or 'stack' to optimize water use. An …
