Evaluation of alfalfa inter-seeding effect on bahiagrass baleage fermentation and lactating Holstein performance Open
Data from this study indicate that alfalfa inter-seeded in bahiagrass sod that produces BAB with as little as 22% alfalfa may improve nutritive value compared to monoculture bahiagrass baleage and marginally improve lactation performance o…
Wave Energy Conversion for Shoreline Protection Open
This paper is based on the premise that “wave energy conversion” is the conversion of the energy of ocean waves into other energy forms for the benefit of the environment. By taking advantage of the diffraction focusing phenomenon, commonl…
Ethanol production potential of sweet sorghum assessed using forage fiber analysis procedures Open
Sweet sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is widely recognized as a highly promising biomass energy crop with particular potential to complement sugarcane production in diversified cropping systems. Agronomic assessments have led to ide…
Renewable Sea Power Open
This article discusses various aspects of research funding that seeks to use waves, tides, and thermal in different useful ways. The Department of Energy (DOE) program is set to explore technology that aims to harness some of the ocean’s e…
Front Matter Open
Front matter pages come before the papers or chapters in a published work. Front matter includes the title page, copyright and notices page, and table of contents. It can also include a foreword, preface, or introduction; series informatio…
Back Matter Open
Back matter pages come after the papers or chapters in a published work and may include appendixes, references, and indexes.
Ocean Wave Energy Utilization Open
The exploitation of ocean waves in electricity production, potable-water production, waterbody revitalization and farming is discussed. Those energy-conversion technologies that are now at the prototype stage are described. The systems are…
Application of the Generic Spectral Formula to Fetch-Limited Seas Open
A deep-water spectral formula, based on the Weibull probability distribution of wave periods, is modified to satisfy fetch-limited conditions for wind-generated seas Results of this generic spectral formula are compared with those obtained…
Status of U.S.A. Ocean Energy Recovery Activities Open
The state of the art of ocean energy recovery activity in the United States is described. The technologies discussed in the paper include extraction of wave, tidal, ocean thermal and ocean current energy. This status report is intended to …
Experimental Study of the Velocity-Dependent Damping of a Turbulence-Induced Vibrating System Open
This paper presents the results of a recent experimental study of the damping characteristics of boundary-layer-induced vibrations of a thin metal ribbon. One side of the metal ribbon was subjected to a turbulent boundary layer in a subson…
