Assessing Water Resource Issues in the US Pacific North West Region

International Journal of Mining Engineering and Mineral Processing, 2019
In a country where ground water ranks highly as one of the nation’s most important natural resources, water stands out as a strategic item in the US West. For that, agricultural, commercial and urban communities require water for their yearly operations. Even though, groundwater serves cities and rural areas, it sustains irrigation and industries.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Analyzing the Development of a Sustainable Enterprise in an Emerging Economy: Black Cacau and the Bean‐to‐Bar Philosophy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) in emerging economies through the case of Black Cacau, a Brazilian bean‐to‐bar enterprise integrating agroforestry, direct trade, and Afro‐Brazilian cultural empowerment. Adapting the Patagonia‐based framework of Allal‐Chérif et al., the study explores how SE operates under conditions of ...

Decoding Emotional Signatures of Ethical Ads: An Analysis of Actor‐Viewer Synchrony

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether ethical advertisements differ from conventional ads in their on‐screen emotional signatures and whether those signatures transfer to actor‐viewer synchrony. Study 1 analyses 138 professionally produced YouTube ads using Automated Facial Expression Recognition (AFER) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to quantify actor ...

Interannual Variability of Northern Hemisphere Storm Tracks in Coarse-Gridded Datasets

Advances in Meteorology, 2013
Extratropical cyclones exert a large socioeconomic impact. It is therefore important to assess their interannual variability. We generate cyclone tracks from the National Center for Environmental Prediction’s Reanalysis I and the European Centre for ...
