Cornell faculty often have manuscripts in various states of completion when they reach emeritus status. This archival repository is a place where these manuscripts, some previously published but out of print, and some that have not been subjected to peer review, may be valuable for their content, but sometimes also for their historical value. This collection is a place for these legacy works to become accessible online.
- The collection of resources (two pages) by John King is being distributed in an open access manner.

Stomatal Response: An Overview Video and Book for Plant Scientists
Cooke, J. Robert (2023-11-10)
This video and book summarize the multi-year plant-water relationships research of the Plant Biomechanics Group at Cornell University in a visual, non-mathematical manner. 1) Our stomatal diffusion research quantified diffusion rates from arrays of stomatal pores with respect to pore width, stomatal density and boundary layer thickness. 2) Our studies of the structural aspects of kidney-shaped stomata (that enable opening and closing) were explored quantitatively using a three dimensional, doubly-elliptical shell model. The roles of geometry, micelle and wall thickness were quantified. 3) We also quantitatively explored how stomata interact with the rest of the plant, i.e., as part of a system, rather than simply in isolation. We explored both transient and periodic responses, i.e., how fluid and gaseous movements affect pore opening and closing, including how repetitive stomatal oscillations can occur within a perfectly constant environment. We also considered how this affects water use efficiency. Based upon these studies, several CONJECTURES are put forward as a basis for argument about potential adaptations for climate change.
Legacy Meeting Papers and Unpublished Manuscripts of J. Robert Cooke
Cooke, J. Robert (The Internet-First University Press, 2017-03)
This is a collection of non-peer-reviewed ASAE (now ASABE) meeting papers. Most of these manuscripts were subsequently published in peer-reviewed venues. However, this is the sole, online source for a number of these “stranded” papers. We share these now, hoping that these retain some value for future generations.
