Phase I of the automated array assembly task of the low cost silicon solar array project. Technical quarterly report No. 6. Motorola report No. 2258/7

Description: A detailed cost evaluation is presented for solar cell module manufacturing. Emphasis in this analysis is applied to a critical appraisal of near term technology for application to the intermediate (1982) goal of $2.00/watt. The approach used in this cost analysis is to pursue a systematic examination of each of its many parts, and then to apply these parts to a final cost projection. In this approach, significant detail is generated; this is done in order to permit determination of the sensiti… more

New Tools for the site-specific attachment of proteins to surface

Description: Protein microarrays in which proteins are immobilized to a solid surface are ideal reagents for high-throughput experiments that require very small amounts of analyte. Such protein microarrays ('protein chips') can be used very efficiently to analyze all kind of protein interactions en masse. Although a variety of methods are available for attaching proteins on solid surfaces. Most of them rely on non-specific adsorption methods or on the reaction of chemical groups within proteins (mainly, ami… more

Development of a Chemoenzymatic-like and Photoswitchable Method for the Ordered Attachment of Proteins to Surfaces

Description: Protein arrays are the best tool for the rapid analysis of a whole proteome thus helping to identify all the protein/protein interactions in a living cell and they can also be used as powerful biosensors. The objective of this proposal is to develop a new entropically activated ligation method based in the naturally occurring protein trans-splicing process. This method will be used for the generation of spatially addressable arrays of multiple protein components by standard photolithographic te… more

Fertilization increases the risk of loblolly pine to ice storm damage.

Description: Winter storms resulting in substantial ice accumulation occur with periodic frequency in the southeastern United States and they have potential to severely damage softwood plantations. Loblolly pine is one of the most important crop tree species in this region and a combined understanding of initial damage and subsequent growth and recovery may allow for more productive utilization of these stands following severe ice storms. In January 2004 a severe ice storm deposited approximately 2 cm of ic… more

DRIS analysis identifies a common potassium imbalance in sweetgum plantations.

Description: DRIS (Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System) analysis was applied to fast-growing sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) plantations in the southeast United States as a tool for nutrient diagnosis and fertilizer recommendations. First, standard foliar nutrient ratios for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) were established using high-yield stands from a region wide sweetgum fertilization study. DRIS indices were then calculated for the low-yield… more
