The Cache Valley airshed is in serious threat of exceeding the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for Particulate Matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM 2.5). Although the local airshed approaches both the annual (15 µg m-3) and the 24-hr standard (65 µg m-3), it is the 24-hr standard that is in the greatest danger of exceedance. As of June 2006, the regulatory allowable 98 th ...

Gapped 2D Dirac materials, in which inversion symmetry is broken by a gap-opening perturbation, feature a unique valley transport regime. Topological valley currents in such materials are dominated by bulk currents produced by electronic states just beneath the gap rather than by edge modes. The system ground state hosts dissipationless persistent valley currents existing even when topologicall...

This study focused on the state of Corporate Governance (CG) in two categories of the banking industries: Conventional Banks and Islamic Banks. As Conventional Banks and Islamic Banks differ a great deal in the...

Wintertime temperature profiles in the Grand Canyon exhibit a neutral to isothermal stratification during both daytime and nighttime, with only rare instances of actual temperature inversions. The canyon warms during daytime and cools during nighttime more or less uniformly through the canyon’s entire depth. This weak stability and temperature structure evolution differ from other Rocky Mountai...
