Public Procurement's Long COVID: Emergency Responses and Shifting Corruption Risks in Europe
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic caused an unprecedented surge in spending to combat the pandemic with widespread accusations of corruption. The magnitude, drivers, and trajectory of corruption across the pandemic response remain underexplored. This paper approximates the impacts of the pandemic on public procurement corruption risks and the mechanisms ...

Abstract Constipation affects approximately 20% of the US population, with diverse treatment options available due to the unclear onset and causes of the condition. Recently, focused ultrasound (FUS) has been proposed as a novel, non‐invasive peripheral neuromodulatory treatment that may reduce this inflammation.

Abstract Plumes from sulfur dioxide (SO2) point sources have been shown to be significant contributors to new particle formation (NPF), but SO2 emissions in the United States (US) have decreased drastically by ∼10× since the early 2000s. We present observations of plume‐scale NPF from SO2 point sources over the industrial hub in Gary, Indiana and ...
