Describing Nitrogen Dynamics in Eastern North Carolina Waterfowl Impoundments by Combining Field-Scale and Laboratory-Scale Based Approaches
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-01)Waterfowl impoundments are wetlands that are hydrologically managed to provide food and habitat for migratory bird populations. Certain impoundment types have recently been found to export nitrogen (N) loads during seasonally ... -
THE DESCRIPTION OF SCHUMANN ELECTROMAGNETIC RESONANCES BETWEEN EARTH AND ITS IONOSPHERE AS BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES OF EXTREMELY LOW FREQUENCY PHOTONS
(East Carolina University, 2012)The purpose of this thesis is to show that Schumann resonances between Earth and its ionosphere are Bose-Einstein condensates of extremely low frequency photons. We will show that the photon densities of the first five ... -
