A discussion of critical errors in a longitudinal study on the deterrent effect of drug‐induced homicide laws on opioid‐related mortality across 92 counties and the District of Columbia in the United States

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 587-612, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Drug overdose claimed more than 100,000 lives in the United States in 2021. Drug‐induced homicide (DIH) laws create specific criminal liability for individuals who provide drugs that cause or contribute to the death of another person. DIH prosecutions in the United States have increased substantially over the past decade despite the absence of

Managing uncertainty in decision‐making for conservation science

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Science‐based decision‐making is the ideal. However, scientific knowledge is incomplete, and sometimes wrong. Responsible science‐based policy, planning, and action must exploit knowledge while managing uncertainty. I considered the info‐gap method to manage deep uncertainty surrounding knowledge that is used for decision‐making in ...

BEYOND CONVENTIONAL BOUNDARIES

open access: yesWorld Affairs, Volume 186, Issue 3, Page 747-775, Fall 2023., 2023
According to conventional wisdom, organized criminal activity is perpetrated primarily by non‐state, private actors who are occasionally [or not] protected by corrupt government officials. From this perspective, a hard distinction is made between those who provide protection to criminals (e.g., politicians or law enforcement officials) and the ...

Integrating Urban Expansion and Flood Risk: A Spatial Assessment of Impervious Surface Growth and Floodplain Exposure in Mecklenburg County (2011–2021)

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.

Quality Infrastructure for Resilient Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in Ethiopia: A Comparative Archival Review

open access: yesJournal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT The National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) in a given country provides the essential framework for quality assurance integrating standardization, metrology, accreditation, and conformity assessment to create the technical backbone for industry and trade. Hence, building a resilient NQI is fundamental to securing medicine quality, enabling local

Deep quantile regression for growth and maturation reaction norms

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 111-124, January 2026.
Abstract Understanding species' growth and maturation responses to anthropogenic and environmental pressures is crucial for tracking demographic shifts, phenotypic change and ensuring population sustainability. Traditional regression methods often focus on modelling the conditional mean of life‐history traits, potentially overlooking heterogeneity in ...

故障指示器录波误差分析方法研究

open access: yesDianci bileiqi, 2020
配电网故障指示器录波装置的录制波形与实际故障波形之间的误差是影响小电流接地系统单相接地故障选线和定位的准确性的重要因素。采用Matlab/simulink建立具有五回出线的典型10 k V配网小电流接地系统模型;提取典型单相接地故障时不同采样频率录波装置的对暂态零序电流的录制波形,对比录制波形与标准波形数据,提出能全面反映波形偏差的首峰值斜率误差和加权斜率和误差等误差指标;并分析不同接地过渡电阻、故障点距离、故障时刻相角等因素下,录波装置采样频率对配网故障指示器录波误差指标的影响规律。计算结果表明 ...

基于闭环算法的光学电流互感器的暂态电流误差特性研究

open access: yesGaoya dianqi, 2022
基于对光学电流互感器闭环调制解调算法的数学分析,研究了闭环算法对一次电流的计算误差来源,证实闭环算法的计算误差只与一次电流的变化速率相关,并在此基础上研究了暂态电流工况下,典型光CT的误差特性,探讨了减小暂态电流误差的几类措施并进行试验验证,证实减少传感光纤匝数、缩短光路总长度以及线性度误差实时补偿均可有效修正闭环算法的计算误差,提高互感器的暂态电流精度。

Administrative Burdens and Inequities in COBRA Take‐Up

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 658-668, December 2025.
ABSTRACT To what extent does COBRA's lack of program visibility and complexity induce inequities in access to this form of health insurance? Though COBRA has long been an important tool for helping workers to avoid “job lock,” precious little scholarship has been devoted to understanding its reach.
