Funding, Facilities, and the Face of Homelessness: Heterogeneous Impacts of Federal Grants on Sheltered and Unsheltered Counts

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the causal impact of federal homeless‐assistance grants on reported homelessness and shelter capacity across 370 Continuums of Care in 2019. We exploit cross‐sectional variation in pre‐1940 housing shares, used in Community Development Block Grant formula allocations, as an instrument for combined CoC and Emergency ...

Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Study on Grounding System of the Metro Vehicles

open access: yes, 2020
The function of the grounding system is related to the operation performance of the metro vehicles, so it has special significance to conduct a research. The classification and definition of the vehicle grounding was introduced, including protective earthing, functional bonding and EMC-related grounding.

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...
