Assessing Fog Oil Deposition to Simulated Plant Surfaces During Military Training (2007)
Douglas, Thomas A., Johnson, Jerome B., Collins, Charles M., Reynolds, Charles M., Foley, Karen L., Perry, Lawrence B., ...
Fog oil is used as a battlefield obscurant during military operations. A smoke-like aerosol is emitted from mobile generators by volatilizing standard grade fuel #2 and blowing it through a heated...
Efficacy of DECON Green against VX Nerve and HD Mustard Simulants at Subfreezing Temperatures (2006)
Reynolds, Charles M., Ringelberg, David B., Perry, Lawrence B.
The objective of these studies was to quantify the efficacy of DECON Green against the VX nerve agent simulant bis (2-ethyl hexyl) phosphite and the HD mustard agent simulant 2-chloroethyl phenyl...
Ayorinde, Olufemi A., Reynolds, Charles M.
This report reviews literature on the influence of major parameters on composting, with emphasis on temperature and explosives. Heat energy is produced by composting as a result of a microbial...
Hewitt, Alan D., Reynolds, Charles M.
This report compares results obtained for the metals extracted with a microwave-nitric acid digestion technique to results obtained by procedure R9, a soil-sediment hot-plate digestion method...
Ayorinde, Olufemi A., Reynolds, Charles M.
It is well known that energy, in the form of heat, is released through microbial conversion of chemical species in a compost system. This heat energy is a major factor in the performance of the...
Owing to the numerous advantages provided by microwave digestion, regulatory agencies are recognizing its value, yet most reported comparisons of microwave digestions with other accepted methods have...
Reynolds, Charles M., Iskandar, Iskandar K.
The model WASTEN was used to compare several nitrogen input scenarios and to predict the levels of nitrate in groundwater for a proposed wastewater treatment facility at Fort Dix, New Jersey. The...
Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soils and Groundwater in Northern Climates. (1998)
Reynolds, Charles M., Braely, W. A., Travis, Michael D., Perry, Lawrence B., Iskandar, Iskandar K.
A field demonstration and research project was conducted in Fairbanks, Alaska, to demonstrate, evaluate, and document the construction and operation of three selected bioremediation...
Bacterial Survival in Snow Made from Wastewater (1998)
Parker, Louise V., Yushak, Melinda L., Martel, C. J., Reynolds, Charles M.
This study examined the effects of a patented wastewater treatment process that makes snow from secondary wastewater, and the subsequent freeze-thaw cycling processes that occur in a snow column, on...
Reynolds, Charles M., Foley, Karen L., Ringelberg, David B., Perry, Lawrence B.
Persistence of nonindigenous microorganisms released onto soils or into natural environments can have a significant impact on Department of Defense (DoD) operations. An understanding of competition...
Ringelberg, David B., Reynolds, Charles M., Foley, Karen L., Perry, Lawrence B.
Low-order, incomplete detonations can deposit hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro- 1,3,5-triazine (RDX) into training range surface soils. In previous work, we showed that aqueous RDX could be rapidly...
Effect of Acetonitrile on RDX Biodegradation in an Unsaturated Surface Soil (1998)
Ringelberg, David B., Reynolds, Charles M., Perry, Lawrence B., Foley, Karen L.
In previous work, we documented the biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in an unsaturated cold-region surface soil and showed that acetonitrile (ACN) could inhibit RDX...
Soil Remediation Demonstration Project: Biodegradation of Heavy Fuel Oils. (1997)
Reynolds, Charles M., Bhunia, Prasanta, Koenen, Brent A.
Treatment of oil-contaminated soils is necessary to protect water supplies, human health, and environmental quality; but because of limited funds, cleanup costs are often prohibitive. High costs are...
Soil Physical Environment and Root Growth in Northern Climates. (1996)
Brar, Gurdaarshan S., Reynolds, Charles M.
Understanding the growth and function of plant roots in cold climates is critical, but examination of root systems to elucidate their link to production is expensive and labor-intensive. Limited...
