Effectiveness of the upscaled use of a silver-ceramic (silver ionization) technology to disinfect drinking water in tanks at schools in rural India.

In many low- and middle-income countries, school children consume untreated water that has been pumped into storage tanks. The water is often of poor quality and consumption can cause gastrointestinal illnesses resulting in missed school days, growth stunting, and cognitive impairment. This study deployed a silver-ceramic technology (MadiDrop) to disinfect drinking water in school storage tanks.

Construction of vicinal 4°/3°-carbons reductive Cope rearrangement.

Herein reported is a strategy for constructing vicinal 4°/3° carbons reductive Cope rearrangement. Substrates have been designed which exhibit Cope rearrangement kinetic barriers of ∼23 kcal mol with isoenergetic favorability (Δ ∼ 0). These fluxional/shape-shifting molecules can be driven forward by chemoselective reduction to useful polyfunctionalized building blocks.

Workplace support and affirming behaviors: Moving toward a transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary friendly workplace.

The experiences of transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary (TGDNB) workers remain poorly understood and under-examined in the extant literature, with workplace support perceptions and affirming behaviors of these workers particularly misunderstood. We address this gap in the literature by presenting and empirically testing a theoretical model that suggests affirming behaviors are differentially related to various sources of TGDNB worker support. We further suggest these sources of support are differentially related to TGDNB employee satisfaction and gender identity openness at work.

Selective ring-rearrangement or ring-closing metathesis of bicyclo[3.2.1]octenes.

Explored was the competitive ring-closing metathesis vs. ring-rearrangement metathesis of bicyclo[3.2.

Regional Spatial-Temporal Spread of Citrus Huanglongbing Is Affected by Rain in Florida.

Citrus huanglongbing (HLB), associated with 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (Las), disseminated by Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), has devastated citrus in Florida since 2005. Data on HLB occurrence were stored in databases (2005 to 2012). Cumulative HLB-positive citrus blocks were subjected to kernel density analysis and kriging.
