Desert in the Springs: Ethnography of a Food Desert [PDF]
, 2013 Food desert commonly describes food insecure areas with few fresh food outlets. Though used in a number of sources, the definition of food desert remains largely undeveloped and research is often deficit oriented, failing to account for community ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

STUDIES ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOGEOCHEMISTRY OF DESERT SURFACE SOILS [PDF]
, 2012 Microorganisms play a key role in the functioning of the environment, particularly in relation to the biogeochemical cycles. Here, a study was made of the microbial activity of primitive desert surface soils in comparison with that exhibited by a fertile

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron

Grocery Purchasing in the Food Desert Environment: Constraints Outweigh Preferences [PDF]
, 2017 Data show that the food desert environment is correlated with high risk of diet-related illness in low-income urban communities. Using an empirical model of grocery purchasing decision processes, we explained how specific components of the economic and ...
