Creating a Northern Agriculture. IV. Reservation and Preservation of Agricultural Lands in Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
The reservation of agricultural lands is one of the most urgent, and least recognized, problems facing Alaskans today. While more than 17 million acres suitable for agricultural tillage have been identified, fewer than 20,000 acres, in widely ...

An empirical study of unfair terms in online auction contracts in the UK: Evidence for the need for better enforcement mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper studies the terms of 28 online auction sites. It uncovers that, in this industry, unfair terms are common. The paper focusses on a small number of clauses but conclusively shows that enforcement in the UK is insufficient.

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Coronary Artery Calcium Progression: A Case Cohort Analysis from ELSA‐Brasil

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective To investigate the association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) prevalence, incidence, and progression over four years in adults without prior cardiovascular disease. Methods A case‐cohort study within ELSA‐Brasil included 585 participants (86 RA, 499 controls). Longitudinal analyses were restricted to those

Deposit Insurance and Risk Management of the U.S. Banking System: How Much? How Safe? Who Pays? [PDF]

open access: yes
We examine the question of deposit insurance through the lens of risk management by addressing three key issues: 1) how big should the fund be; 2) how should coverage be priced; and 3) who pays in the event of loss. We propose a risk-based premium system

Reduction of Oxide Inclusions During the High‐Frequency Welding of Steel via a Nonthermal Ar/H2 Plasma Jet

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐frequency (HF) welding of steel is limited by oxide inclusions that degrade weld quality. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of a nonthermal Ar/H2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet into HF welding. Local plasma treatment provides effective shielding and in‐situ oxide reduction, resulting in markedly fewer and ...

Joint Optimization of Message Transmissions With Adaptive Selection of CCH Interval in VANETs

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In vehicular networks, the safety-related messages (emergency and periodic messages) and non-safety message (RFS: request for service message) should share the scarce wireless resource. Emergency messages deliver time-critical information with guaranteed

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Deoxidation of Natively Oxide Layer of Copper Powders in a Fluidized Bed

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel approach to reducing oxide layers on metal powders using low‐temperature hydrogen dielectric barrier discharge plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Unlike conventional hydrogen‐plasma reductions, the powders do not contact the plasma directly.
