Don\u27t Pay for your Neighbors\u27 Garbage
The opportunities and benefits of recycling are under used in the City of Buffalo. The city currently achieves a meager 7% diversion rate. The rest of Erie County achieves a 42% diversion rate. Clearly, a great deal of recyclable content is included in city household garbage. Buffalo pays about 10 per ton of recyclable content it redeems. Every ton of waste that households can divert from garbage to recycling saves the City $52, a 124% savings
Chronic Pain: Improving Patient Awareness of Management Options
Chronic pain affects 100 million Americans and places a significant burden on patients and their families. Opioids are frequently used to manage chronic pain, and their potential for misuse, addiction, and adverse effects are of growing concern in Vermont. Increasing patient awareness of different pain management options could decrease patient suffering and mitigate the opioid epidemic. This project aimed to educate patients on chronic pain management and resources available in Franklin County.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1270/thumbnail.jp
Improved synthesis of intermetal compounds
Method in crystal growth using liquid encapsulation techniques permits GaAs synthesis of materials from constituent elements whose vapor pressures are high at temperature at which they react spontaneously. Techniques may be useful for synthesis of GaP
Connected sum at infinity and 4-manifolds
We study connected sum at infinity on smooth, open manifolds. This operation
requires a choice of proper ray in each manifold summand. In favorable
circumstances, the connected sum at infinity operation is independent of ray
choices. For each m at least 3, we construct an infinite family of pairs of
m-manifolds on which the connected sum at infinity operation yields distinct
manifolds for certain ray choices. We use cohomology algebras at infinity to
distinguish these manifolds.Comment: 17 pages, 12 figure
Missing Variables in Theories of Strategic Human Resource Management: Time, Cause, and Individuals
Much progress has been made with regard to theory building and application in the field of Strategic Human Resource Management (HRM) since Wright and McMahan’s (1992) critical review. While researchers have increasingly investigated the impact of HR on economic success within the Resource Based view of the firm, and have developed more middle level theories regarding the processes through which HR impacts firm performance, much work still needs to be done. This paper examines how future theorizing in SHRM should explore the concepts of time, cause, and individuals. Such consideration will drive more longitudinal research, more complex causal models, and consideration of multi-level phenomena
Avoiding “musty mutton chops”: the network narrative of an American merchant in London, 1771-1774
Historians have increasingly been using network and narrative analysis as a means by which to explore their data. By doing so, they are able to explore how actors of interest used their relationships to undertake business and economic endeavors, and how, in turn, these were shaped by the discourse to which they had access. This paper presents a novel methodology using visual analytics to combine both social network (relationship) and textual (sentiment) analysis to visualize the information contained in historical sources over time. The definition of network narrative posited in this paper allows the historian to quantify and therefore assess the impact of, and reaction to, endogenous and exogenous events on actor networks. In order demonstrate the applicability of this approach, we apply it to the case study of Joshua Johnson, an American merchant in London during the 1772 credit crisis. This paper builds on the more recent network studies which show that networks were not only complex, but changed over time in reaction to events
