Flux Measurements And Sampling Strategies: Applications To Methane Emissions From Rice Fields, M. A. K. Khalil, R. A. Rasmussen, Martha J. Shearer

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

The emissions of methane from rice fields and other sources are often measured by placing chambers on the surface and taking sequential samples. Although static chambers pose several problems that affect the accuracy of the data, there are a few parameters that, if carefully chosen, can improve the reliability of the data and reduce the uncertainties. These parameters are the length of time the chamber is kept on the rice plants, the number of samples that are drawn to estimate the flux, the basal area and height of the chamber, the frequency of measurements during the growing season, and the …

Chimeric Isoprenoid Synthases And Uses Thereof, Joseph Chappell, Kyoungwhan Back

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Patents

Disclosed is a chimeric isoprenoid synthase polypeptide including a first domain from a first isoprenoid synthase joined to a second domain from a second, heterologous isoprenoid synthase, whereby the chimeric isoprenoid synthase is capable of catalyzing the production of isoprenoid reaction products that are not produced in the absence of the second domain of the second, heterologous isoprenoid synthase. Also disclosed is a chimeric isoprenoid synthase polypeptide including an assymetrically positioned homologous domain, whereby the chimeric isoprenoid synthase is capable of catalyzing the production of isoprenoid reaction products that are not produced when the domain is positioned at its naturally-occurring …

Factors Affecting Methane Emissions From Rice Fields, M. A. K. Khalil, R. A. Rasmussen, Martha J. Shearer, R. W. Dalluge, Lixin Ren, Chang-Lin Duan

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Methane emissions from rice fields are affected by a number of environmental and agricultural factors. We have analyzed our 7-year data set on methane emissions from rice fields in Tu Zu, China, to delineate the relationships between emissions and a number of variables that were measured at the same time. Our work was done in fields that were managed under prevailing agricultural practices of the region. Consequently, only the effect of factors that vary from year to year or during the growing season can be calculated. In our study we measured the effects of environmental variables (soil temperature, wind speed, …

Measurements Of Methane Emissions From Rice Fields In China, M. A. K. Khalil, R. A. Rasmussen, Martha J. Shearer, R. W. Dalluge, Lixin Ren, Chang-Lin Duan

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Rice fields have always been regarded as one of the largest anthropogenic sources of atmospheric methane. Here we report the results of a 7-year study of methane emissions from rice fields in the Sichuan Province of China. In this region, there is one crop of rice per year, the fields are continuously flooded from transplanting to harvest, and there is heavy use of organic fertilizers. Emissions over the entire growing season were measured from each of up to 24 plots. Environmental variables were measured and relevant supporting data on the agricultural practices were recorded. The fields were studied under prevailing …

The Electromagnetic Field Near A Dielectric Half-Space, Andrew Lang, Dr. Adam D. Helfer

College of Science and Engineering Faculty Research and Scholarship

We compute the expectations of the squares of the electric and magnetic fields in the vacuum region outside a half-space filled with a uniform non-dispersive dielectric. This gives predictions for the Casimir-Polder force on an atom in the "retarded" regime near a dielectric. We also find a positive energy density due to the electromagnetic field. This would lead, in the case of two parallel dielectric half-spaces, to a positive, separation-independent contribution to the energy density, besides the negative, separation-dependent Casimir energy. Rough estimates suggest that for a very wide range of cases, perhaps including all realizable ones, the total energy …
