Safeguarding Merit: Citizen Support for Civil Service Protections Against Political Interference

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT President Trump altered the U.S. federal civil service system by reducing merit‐based protections for bureaucratic expertise and expanding the scope of political appointments, shifting the balance long established under the Pendleton Act of 1883. Similar reforms have occurred at the state level with moves to at‐will employment.

Tariff: The Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary?

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider the welfare impacts of US tariff policy at levels proposed by President Donald J. Trump. General‐equilibrium simulations under a widely used transparent one‐sector trade model reveal sizable US welfare losses. When we extend the model to include bilateral firm selection and high resolution input–output linkages, the US losses ...

Adams County in The Splendid Little War, April through August 1898

, 1998
The Spanish American War lasted less than four months (April 25 to August 13, 1898). For the entire war, American casualties totaled less than 2,000 men, among them 345 killed or mortally wounded. Many more, however, died of disease (about 2000).

Advancement in Anaerobic Digestion for Scaling‐Up Biogas Production Through Food Waste Valorization

ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
The review article begins with an introduction that covers the overview, food waste (FW) classification, and the steps involved in producing biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD). Following that, it describes the process for producing biogas, including single‐, two‐, and multistage systems, mesophilic and thermophilic digestion, and wet and dry ...

Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1656-1676, April 2026.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Theoretical Model of Transient Regression of Thermoplastic Materials During Flame Spread: Vaporization; Permanent Mass Loss; Surface Shape

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 227-240, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines a transient, one‐dimensional model of surface regression during opposed flow flame spread over finite thickness, non‐charring thermoplastics. Gas to solid conductive transfer from the flame drives sample heating. The solid degrades into volatile fuel molecules in two stages: (1) the pre‐vaporization heat‐up stage and (2 ...

Processing‐Driven Trade‐Offs in Thermal and Mechanical Performance of Polyetherimide‐Carbon Nanotube‐Expanded Graphite Hybrid Composites

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Processing route controls microstructure in PEI/CNT/expanded graphite composites, where single step compounding favors graphite exfoliation and thermal conductivity, while two‐step processing enhances dispersion and tensile strength. ABSTRACT This study examines the influence of processing strategy on the thermal and mechanical properties of ...

Exploring Transfer Learning's Impact on the Explainability of Deep Learning Models for Wastewater Treatment Plants' Biogas Production

Expert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation has raised concerns about their significant contribution to global warming and the associated risks of supply instability. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) within Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) offers a renewable alternative by producing biogas, while effective operational optimisation ...
