Abstract: A woven, stabilized fabric suitable for reinforcing resin matrices is provided. The fabric comprises a woven fabric of graphite, fiberglass, aramid, etc., in which a limited amount of a resin coated fiber is woven into one direction of the fabric. Prior to weaving, the resin coated fiber is initially coated with a resin such as an epoxy, polyimide, etc., followed by drying and then weaving into the fabric with as few picks as possible. When the fabric is heated, the resin coat melts and adheres to the fabric, and imparting stabilizing properties thereto. The stabilized fabric is then set up in a mold for resin impregnation, without undergoing undesirable movement.

Abstract: The ablative response at predetermined locations in a carbon-carbon reinforced composite material are selectively modified by one or more implants of a compatible, non-carbon material disposed at selected sites in the material. The implants of non-carbon material, which should have a melting point below the sublimation temperature of the surrounding carbon matrix and thermal expansibility having a force below the strength of the surrounding carbon matrix, preferably are arranged essentially parallel to one another at selected axial sites in the direction of expected thermal flux.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Philadephus, ‘Dainty Lady’, characterized by its upright, narrowly spreading plant habit with suitability for growing in small gardens, its leaves that are narrow in shape and are tinged with maroon on the young growth in spring of the terminal shoots, its slender stems that on mature plants (2 years in age) turn brown to mahogany in color in winter and provides interest when not in flower, its highly fragrant flowers with calyces that are green/maroon in color, and its ability to grow under a wide range of soil conditions.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Lychnis, ‘Pmoore05’, that is characterized by its strong growth habit with a quicker time to produce a marketable plant, its flowers that are bright orange-red in color, its cold hardiness in U.S.D.A. Zone 4, and its ability to be readily propagated by stem cuttings.

Abstract: A new cultivar of interspecific Penstemon plant named, ‘Pmoore14’, that is characterized by its upright, sturdy, uniform plant habit, its sturdy leaves that are medium to dark green in color, its strong flower spikes with evenly spaced flowers, and its large flowers that are deep velvety purple in color and lack a tinged throat.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Antirrhinum, ‘Pmoore07’, that is characterized by its compact, upright plant habit, its extended bloom season, its narrow, elongated flowers that are purple-pink in color with a whitish yellow throat, and its increased resistant to fungal diseases, especially, Puccinia antirrhini (leaf rust) as compared to other Antirrhinum cultivars.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Buddleja alternifolia×caryopteridifolia plant named, ‘Pmoore12’, that is characterized by its compact and bushy plant habit, its sterile flowers that bloom on new growth, its long and repeating bloom season, and its cold hardiness at temperatures as low as ?25° C.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Scabiosa ‘Pmoore02’ that is characterized by its long flowering period, its short stature, its sterile flowers that do not produce seed, its inflorescences that are light green and turn pale pink to pale purple in color, its long lasting cut flowers, and its compact plant habit.
