We introduce an approximation for the pair distribution function of the inhomogeneous hard sphere fluid. Our
approximation makes use of our recently published averaged pair distribution function at contact, which has
been shown to accurately...

The Actively Heated Fiber Optic (AHFO) method is shown to be capable of measuring soil water
content several times per hour at 0.25 m spacing along cables of multiple kilometers in length. AHFO is
based on distributed temperature sensing (DTS)...

Christmas tree production removes organic matter and associated nutrients from a
site and can change soil physical properties, reduce mycorrhizal populations, and result in
pesticide over-use/accumulation. These impacts have been implicated in...

Many hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) cultivars
fail to thrive in vitro on standard growth medium and the
reasons for poor growth are not well understood. Our initial
study of five C. avellana cultivars showed that changes in
the mineral nutrients...
