There are many important considerations when planting a bare root tree or perennial, far too many to cover in detail here. Consult these excellent resources before you buy and plant your bare root treasures:

The seal is completely airtight and the BPA-free plastic containers are sturdy. They are also stackable to help you make the most of your cupboard space. The rounded corners of the containers make it easy to pour out cereal, sugar, or whatever else is inside, too.

“Product moisture uniformity is a critical product characteristic for pet food and pet treats, as it affects product quality, downstream processes and profitability,” Barber says. Finding the right combination of baking and drying technology gives processors the tools needed to deliver consistent, quality pet foods and treats.

Before distributing the artifacts, NIST and NRC Canada fully characterized them by measuring their density as well as their magnetic susceptibility, a quality of how the material behaves when it is exposed to a magnetic field. Each institute took half of the masses: NRC Canada took the even-numbered ones, and NIST took the odd-numbered ones.

"So how are the masses going to change?" Abbott said. "Once they get down there, they're not necessarily going to follow the same pattern as they do in North America."

Dear Heloise: We have some beautiful plants sitting on tall cabinets at the office. They look great, but they are very hard to water. So we use a turkey baster. Works great! — Verna T., Rosemount, Minn.

The part of the system designed to measure sweat rate/loss involves a simple, circular channel with a water-soluble dye located near the inlet (Fig. 5C). The incoming sweat dissolves the dye as it flows past, thereby creating a visible, colored fluid with an easily identifiable filling front in the channel (44). The position of this front defines the local rate and loss of sweat from the corresponding location on the skin. Although the local sweat rate depends on mounting location, for a given location, this locally measured sweat loss can be quantitatively correlated to the total body sweat loss (21, 39). The sensor reported here is calibrated to total loss when used on the forearms. Application of these devices to other regions of the body requires recalibration. The presence of the device may locally alter the sweat rate. However, optimization of the sweat collection regions defined by the patterned adhesive layer minimizes the effects of local compensatory sweating (39). Figure S7I shows a linear correlation between data acquired from the sweat rate sensor to the normalized total, or full-body, sweat loss. The sweat collection volume from the microfluidic channel yields estimates of the total body sweat loss with a maximum error of ~23%. The total sweat loss is calculated by measuring the difference in body weight before and after the workout, with no consumption of water during the test. In this particular design, the channel volume (~58 μl) and the dimensions of the inlet interface to the skin allow tracking of sweat loss for up to 6 hours based on an average sweat rate in the range of 12 to 120 μl/hour per cm2 (21).
