Ionizing radiation has been found to be widely applicable in modifying the structure and properties of polymers, and can be used to tailor the performance of either bulk materials or surfaces. Fifty years of research in polymer radiation chemistry has led to numerous applications of commercial and...

"Visualizing the Hidden Half: Plant-Microbe Interactions in the Rhizosphere" Plant roots and the associated rhizosphere constitute a dynamic environment that fosters numerous intra- and interkingdom interactions, including metabolite exchange between plants and soil mediated by root exudates and the...
HDF5 file containing 10,000 hydraulic transmissivity inputs and the corresponding hydraulic pressure field outputs for a two-dimensional saturated flow model of the Hanford Site. The inputs are generated by sampling a 1,000-dimensional Kosambi-Karhunen-Loève (KKL) model of the transmissivity field...
The PNNL-SERDP database was constructed by PNNL to generate the quantitative infrared spectra of gases associated with biomass burning; the reference data are to allow detection and quantification of such gases via infrared absorption spectroscopy. Candidates for the database were selected based on...
