A robust method for automated background subtraction of tissue fluorescence
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2007-09)
This paper introduces a new robust method for the removal of background tissue fluorescence from Raman spectra. Raman spectra consist of noise, fluorescence and Raman scattering. In order to extract the Raman scattering, ...
Communicating Negative Hire Decisions to Applicants: Fulfilling Psychological Contracts
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Human Sciences Press, Inc. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-12)
This study demonstrates that characteristics of rejection letters combine in a complex manner to affect impressions of the organization, and likelihood of re-applying to and of patronizing the organization. Specifically, ...

The public and private spaces Muslims have built in Detroit, their mosques, homes, schools, and neighborhoods, are products of careful thought and negotiation. In this project, a team of UM faculty and graduate students ...
Dynamics of yard trimmings composting as determined by dehydrogenase activity, ATP content, arginine ammonification, and nitrification potential
(Elsevier, 2002-04-06)
Microbial activities, numbers, and biomass are key parameters that can be used to elucidate the dynamics of the composting process. In the present study, four different biochemical parameters (dehydrogenase activity, ATP ...
Isolation and Characterization of Rhizobacteria from Composts That Suppress the Severity of Bacterial Leaf Spot of Radish
(Scientific Societies, 2003-10-01)
Composts can induce systemic resistance in plants to disease. Unfortunately, the degree of resistance induced seems highly variable and the basis for this effect is not understood. In this work, only 1 of 79 potting mixes ...
Effect of windrow turning and seasonal temperatures on composting of hog manure from hoop structures
(Taylor & Francis, 2000-09-01)
A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of windrow turning on composting of hoop manure (a mixture of partially decomposed hog manure and cornstalk). Three series of experiments were conducted: one during summer, ...
Extracellular enzyme profiles during co-composting of poultry manure and yard trimmings
(Elsevier, 2001-04-23)
APYZYM™ assays were used to detect the presence of enzyme activity from 19 different enzymes, including three phosphatases, three esterases, three amino-peptidases, and eight glycosyl-hydrolases during co-composting of ...
Fate of nitrogen during composting of chicken litter
(Elsevier, 2000-12-01)
Chicken litter (a mixture of chicken manure, wood shavings, waste feed, and feathers) was composted in forced-aeration piles to understand the changes and losses of nitrogen (N) during composting. During the composting ...
