Green microfluidics made of corn proteins

2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011
Petroleum-based polymer such as Poly(dimethylsiloxane) has been widely used to make mesoscale and microscale fluidic devices. The main drawback of such devices in disposable applications is the potential environmental pollution since they are not biodegradable.

Green microfluidic devices made of corn proteins

Lab on a Chip, 2011
An alternative green microfluidic device made of zein, a prolamin of corn, can be utilized as a disposable environmentally friendly microchip especially in agriculture applications. Using standard soft lithography and stereo lithography techniques, we fabricated thin zein films with microfluidic chambers and channels.

Green Owl and the Corn Maiden

Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2008
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to engage a different notion of feminism in accounting by addressing the issues of feminism, balance, and integration as a means of understanding differently the world for which one accounts. The ideas are communicated by the sharing of experiences through myth and storytelling.Design/methodology/approachAn ...

Effect of planting into a green winter cereal rye cover crop on growth and development, seedling disease and yield of corn.

Plant Disease, 2021
Terminating winter cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crops (CCs) 10 or more days before planting corn is recommended to minimize seedling disease and potential yield loss.

Control of European Corn Borer, Green Peach Aphid on Green Pepper, 1984

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1985
Abstract Peppers were transplanted on 6 Jun in Sunderland, MA. A randomized complete block design with 4 replicates was implemented. Plants were 1.5 ft apart in 40-ft rows. Rows were 3 ft apart. Transplants were treated with Schultz starter fertilizer at planting and side-dressed with 200 lb urea 45/acre on 27 Jun.

European Corn Borer Control on Green Pepper, 1982

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1983
Abstract Green peppers were transplanted Jun 2 at the University of Massachusetts Research Farm, Sunderland, MA. Each plot was 1 row, 22.5 ft long with 18 inches between plants. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. The insecticides were applied on Aug 12.

European Corn Borer Control on Green Pepper, 1983

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1984
Abstract Green pepper plants were transplanted 1 June at the Univ. of Massachusetts Res. Farm, Sunderland, Mass. Each plot was two rows, 18 ft long with 18 in between plants and 3 ft between rows. Fertilizer (1000 lb 10:10:10/acre) was incorporated prior to planting.

Preparation and characterization of green polymer by copolymerization of corn oil and sulphur at molten state

Polymers and Polymer Composites, 2020
Vegetable oils are a promising class of bioresources for producing green polymeric materials to reduce the dependence on petro-based polymers. In this study, a green copolymer prepared by thermal copolymerization corn oil with sulphur at its molten state
