Existence and Nonexistence of Solutions for Semilinear Equations on Exterior Domains (open access)

Existence and Nonexistence of Solutions for Semilinear Equations on Exterior Domains

This article studies radial solutions of Δu + K(r)ƒ(u) = 0 on the exterior of the ball of radius R > 0 centered at the origin in ℝᴺ where ƒ is odd with ƒ < 0 on (0,ß), ƒ > 0 on (β, δ), ƒ ≡ 0 for u > δ, and where the function K(r) is assumed to be positive and K(r) → 0 as r → ∞.

Field-grown transgenic switchgras (Panicum virgatum L.) with altered lignin does not affect soil chemistry, microbiology, and carbon storage potential (open access)

Field-grown transgenic switchgras (Panicum virgatum L.) with altered lignin does not affect soil chemistry, microbiology, and carbon storage potential

This article describes a study to evaluate effects of two independent lines of caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) downregulated switchgrass plants on soils in terms of chemistry, microbiolgy, and carbon cycling when grown in the field.
