Visiting an inner-city prison as a medical student, I was unsure how I would respond to this mass incarceration of life. The anxiety manifesting in my stomach as I passed through the entrance gate, the fear of how inmates would respond to me and of names they might call. Corridors were cold, stark, echoic, with a constant reminder of inmates’ plight to end their lives in the endless safety nett...

Caves possess a continuum of ecological zones that differ in their microhabitat conditions, resulting gradient nutrients, climate, and illumination. These conditions engender relatively rapid speciation diverse assemblages highly specialised spider fauna. It is unclear, however, how zonation these caves affects assemblage composition structure. Surveys 35 Levantine were conducted to compare the...

Arguably the most aggressive affirmative action program ever implemented in the United States was a series of court-ordered racial hiring quotas imposed on municipal police departments. My best estimate of the effect of court-ordered affirmative action on work-force composition is a 14-percentage-point gain in the fraction African American among newly hired officers. Evidence on police performa...

In this paper, a new form of weather derivative contract, namely the climatic zone-based growth degree-day (GDD) contract, is introduced. The objective is to increase the risk management efficiency in the agricultural sector of China and to reduce the model dimension of multi-regional temperature-based weather derivatives pricing. Since the proposed contract serves as a risk management tool for...

Lateral intake is a structure constructed next to a main channel to divert part of the flow within the channel. The separated area of the flow in the entrance of intake channel has no effect on flow discharge while reduces the effective cross-sectional area of the intake, as well as the bed load, which enters the intake due to low velocity flow deposits in this area. Thus, knowing the dimension...

Abstract In this work, we used a particle transport model integrated into the fluid solver in FLAC to simulate of particles near-wellbore region inside hydraulic fracture. Complex flow behaviors, including divergent near fracture entrance and detouring around diverter packs, can be captured coupling system. numerical implementation, coupled are realized by updating permeability, concentration, ...

This laboratory study focused on the effect of a submerged vane-field flow pattern and bed morphology near inside entrance reach movable 90° lateral diversion. The system was modelled under live conditions for water discharge ratio ?0.2. Two experiments were run until equilibrium reached: with without installed close to diversion control transfer sediments into channel. associated 3D field meas...

1603 Binaural recordings enable us to capture all sound attributes including spatial information, room effect, and source characteristics in a given environment. It has been shown that blocked-entrance binaural recordings provide advantages over open-entrance recordings, primarily because the blocked-entrance recordings are not influenced by the ear canal acoustics of the individual. However, b...
