Quantitative NMR monitoring of liquid ingress into repellent heterogeneous layered fabrics [PDF]

, 2008
Fabrics which are water repellent and repellent to other liquids are often constructed using multiple layers of material. Such a construction is preferable to a single layer of a liquid-repellent textile because, under the action of an applied pressure ...

Will an artificial scent boundary prevent coyote intrusion?

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Highly territorial species such as coyotes (Canis latrans) use scent‐marks to delineate boundaries, and it has been suggested that canids may be repelled from areas by using human‐placed scent‐marks. To evaluate the potential of artificial scent‐marks as
