ESF Researchers Receive Grants from Northeastern States Research Cooperative Awards Benefit the Northern Forest in 2021 5/11/2021 Northeastern States Research Cooperative (NSRC) Directors announced 13 grants totaling $1.6 million of federal funding and $0.8 million of matching funding for research that will address priority issues facing forest stakeholders in the Northern Forest region. The projects cover a broad range of concerns related to land use and sustainable forestry, rural communities and economic development, climate change, biodiversity, recreation and tourism, invasive pests and diseases, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Federal funding comes from Congressional appropriations through a partnership with the research and development arm of the USDA Forest Service for research on the Northern Forest and its 26 million acres in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. The private sector, states, and other organizations offered matching funding ....

The mechanisms that govern powder flowability are complex and create an ongoing challenge in predicting and controlling flow behavior. Laura Shaw, Freeman Technology, and Jack Saad and Kara Bailey, Micromeritics Instrument Corp. | Feb 04, 2021 Flowability is a defining characteristic of powder intermediates and products. In manufacturing, powders with sub-optimal flow properties are a primary cause of blockages, plant shutdown, and inconsistent product quality. Equally importantly, flowability influences ease-of-use and performance for end-products as diverse as pharmaceuticals and foods, coatings, and metal powders. With the right powder tester, it is feasible to quantify and sensitively differentiate powder flowability under process-relevan ....
