Development of Novel Biocatalytic Conversion Process for Production of Alcohols, Ketones and Organic Acids

BACKGROUND Subterranean mound-building termites produce the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane (CO2 and CH4, respectively). For African, Australian, and South American taxa, these patterns have been well studied. However, North American termite gas emissions have not been defined in field settings, largely due to their uneven spatial...

Sliding Weather Instrument Fixed to Tether (SWIFT)

BACKGROUND Kite Popper Line Climber is a manually deployed and uncontrollable sail. Kite popper can travel up the kite line to a stopping point (or bridle point) where the line connects to the kite, then “pop” closed and slide back down the line. The user needs to thread the kite through the popper, open its sail, and watch as the...
