Forever Chemicals And Livestock: Exploring Contmination Of Per- And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances On Farms And Assessing Usda's Role In Indemnification, Chance Mitchell

Natural Resources Journal

This article examines the limitations of existing federal authorities in addressing the growing threat of PFAS contamination in livestock production operations. While existing programs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), such as the Livestock Indemnity Program, provide critical support for producers facing natural disasters, they do not cover losses related to toxic substances like PFAS. The only USDA program offering PFAS-related indemnity is the Dairy Indemnity Payment Program (DIPP), but its narrow scope limits coverage to dairy farms. Efforts to amend the statutory language of existing programs or create new ones face significant hurdles, including Congress’s rigid approach to …

The Case For Nuclear: How A Simple Amendment To Purpa Could Invigorate The Market For Advanced Nuclear And Help The United States Decarbonize Faster Than Ever, Nathan Wise

Natural Resources Journal

The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) was passed in the 1970s to advance the United States’ energy independence through the encouragement of energy conservation, energy efficiency, small power production, and competition within the energy industry. Administered by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), it allows energy producers whose facilities qualify under its criteria to buy and sell electricity to larger-scale energy producers at rates set by state agencies. Today, PURPA and FERC’s accompanying regulations do not allow for facilities that run on nuclear fuel to qualify as “small power production facilities.” Though these facilities could still qualify …

A Horse Named “Stream Depletion Theory”: The History And Negotiation Of The Upper Colorado River Basin Compact, Eric Kuhn, Katherine H. Tara, John Fleck

Natural Resources Journal

The 1922 Compact only apportions the beneficial consumptive use of the river system’s waters between two geographic sub-basins, an Upper Basin and a Lower Basin. The 1922 Compact negotiators left the task of allocating water to individual states to future negotiations among the sub-basins. The five states with Upper Basin lands completed this task in 1948. The negotiations of the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact provide significant context for understanding the Law of the River, particularly considering ongoing Post-2026 Colorado River Operations discussions. This article examines the dynamics between the states, the role of the United States, the debate over …

Pathology Research and Scholarship

BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with RAM immunophenotype is a newly recognized high-risk AML immunophenotypic subcategory characterized by blasts with bright expression of CD56 and weak to absent expression of CD45, HLA-DR, and CD38, as first described by the Children's Oncology Group (COG). The relationship between AML-RAM and other CD56-positive acute leukemias is unclear. The goal of this study is to characterize the clinicopathological characteristics of AML with RAM phenotype and compare them with other CD56 co-expressing acute leukemias.

METHODS: From a multi-institutional search, we identified a total of 160 CD56+ acute leukemia cases, including AML-RAM (

Irrigation And Society In The Upper Río Grande Basin, U.S.A: A Heritage Of Mutualism, José A. Rivera Ph.D

Faculty Publications

The acequias of the upper Río Grande are more than just irrigation canals. They also allocate and manage water for the community of landowners in the system. After four centuries of use, the acequias persist into modern times with their founding principles intact: self-government, local autonomy, internal rules for operating procedures, and a strong sense of mutualismo or communal responsibility. They have endured since Spanish colonial settlement and have maintained continuity of a water culture surviving political-administrative changes under three sovereigns, Spain (1598-1821), Mexico (1821-1848), and the United States (1848-Present). Despite stressors of climate variability, demographic changes, urbanization, and economic …

The First Resolution Of The Travelling Salesman Problem Under Neutrosophic Octagonal Fuzzy Environment, Mariem Miledia, Taicir Loukilb, Souhail Dhouiba

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem classified as NP-hard. Its objective is to identify the shortest cycle that visits every city precisely once before returning to the initial city. To the best of our knowledge there is no one in the literature who solved the TSP under the neutrosophic octagonal fuzzy environment. That’s why, in this paper the novel heuristic namely Dhouib-Matrix-TSP1 (DM-TSP1) is exploited to optimize the TSP under the neutrosophic octagonal fuzzy domain. So, this research work represents the first application of DM-TSP1 on this mentioned environment. A defuzzification function is used to …
