Poverty, Flooding & Grassroots Organizing: An Analysis of the War on Poverty & the 1977 Flood in Central Appalachia [PDF]

, 2023
There is a long history of environmental exploitation and disastrous flooding in Central Appalachia. The region has long been plagued by exploitative practices such as strip mining and mountaintop removal which have stripped vegetation from land, leading

Food insecurity and unemployment among immigrants in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Immigrants can be more vulnerable to economic downturns and, during periods of economic hardship, more likely to experience food insecurity compared to natives. This study examines the differential effect of the unemployment rate on the probability of being food insecure among diverse groups of immigrant households relative to natives in the ...

Permeability evolution during progressive development of deformation bands in porous sandstones [PDF]

, 2003
Triaxial deformation experiments were carried out on large (0.1 m) diameter cores of a porous sandstone in order to investigate the evolution of bulk sample permeability as a function of axial strain and effective confining pressure. The log permeability

Drenaje de aguas lluvias urbanas en zonas semiáridas

ARQ, 2004
La urbanización progresiva del suelo se relaciona con muchos conflictos del hábitat contemporáneo. Las inundaciones, agravadas por la incapacidad de los suelos pavimentados para absorber las lluvias, son un ejemplo potente de esta interacción.

A Fixed‐Charge Interphase Synchronizes Ion Transport to Suppress Space‐Charge‐Driven Inefficiency Under Nanoliter Confinement

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Electrochemical energy storage breaks down under extreme miniaturization, where interfaces and space‐charge dominate device behavior. This work introduces a fixed‐charge selective interphase (FCSI) integrated into a twin‐tube micro‐Swiss‐roll architecture.

Optimized Selenium‐Doped Nanocomposites for Enhanced Polymer Gel Performance in Permeability Reduction

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water production in mature oil fields necessitates robust shut‐off treatments, yet conventional polymer gels often fail under high‐temperature and high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to enhance gel thermal stability and mechanical strength by incorporating selenium‐doped Ag/AgO–ZnO nanocomposites synthesized via a novel green ...
