Handayani, Brian Parr, and Mallorie Snider Hutson School of Agriculture, Murray State University, Kentucky, USA Abstract Soil is the top layer of earth which supports plant growth and living organisms, consisting of clay, silt, and sand particles. It is the heartbeat of agriculture and is the source of organic nutrients required by crops. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of organic matter, soil color, and pH from Kentucky agricultural soils and Indiana urban soils. Organic matter, the indicator of soil health and fertility, consists of material that is decomposed into the soil and through this process provides the replenishing and maintaining of soil properties. Soil color is directly related to the soil organic matter percentage and its soil particles that make up that location, ranging from dark brown (indicating...

Community solar programs are being developed across the country, and as of March, 2018, Minnesota had the country’s largest set of programs, with over 300 MW-AC installed. In this paper, we analyze the economic and political factors driving the emergence of Minnesota’s 33 community solar programs, and investigate the opportunities and barriers faced in developing community solar in different utility territories. We draw contrasts between Minnesota’s programs to illustrate the heterogeneity in approaches to designing community solar programs in terms of accessibility, affordability, subscriber acquisition, utility benefits, and subscriber agency. Our study takes a mixed methods approach: we conduct six in-depth case studies of Minnesota community solar programs, relying on a combination of informal interviews and primary source analysis; we conduct 12 semi-structured interviews with utility managers overseeing different community solar programs in the states; and we collect and analyze contracts of nearly 100 community solar subscription offers across the 31 utilities with a detailed cash flow analysis. We conclude with reflections on the Minnesota experience for reforming program and policy development in the state and lessons for the other 34 states developing community solar programs

In order to gain remote code execution, attackers then exploit legitimate fragments of code in the executable via techniques such as return-oriented-programming or virtual table overwrites. This project aims to answer fundamental questions about the efficacy of controlflow-integrity (CFI), a defensive technique which attempts to prevent such attacks by ensuring that every control flow transfer corresponds to the original intent of the program author. Although this problem is in general undecidable, most programs running on modern operating systems adhere to standard conventions which allow inferences from static analysis to set a specification for allowable runtime behavior. 1. By examining extremely large, complex real-world programs such as web browsers, this project will characterize the fundamental limits o...

As part of the challenge, the 46 Energy Frontier Research Centers were invited to represent their science in images, cartoons, photos, words and original paintings, but any descriptions or words could only use the 1000 most commonly used words in the English language, with the addition of one word important to each of the EFRCs and the mission of DOE energy. The mission of MSA is to conduct transformative research in the actinide sciences with full integration of experimental and computational approaches, and an emphasis on research questions that are important to the energy future of the nation.
