Socioeconomic Rights Of Refugees: The Case Of Palestinian Refugees In Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, And Syria, Asem Khalil Jan 2010

Socioeconomic Rights Of Refugees: The Case Of Palestinian Refugees In Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, And Syria, Asem Khalil

Faculty Journal Articles

This paper is a contribution to discussions on the possible impact of global crises, especially the current financial crisis, on the economic and social rights of Palestinian refugees in host Arab countries. This paper will be limited to discussing the case of Palestinian refugees in Arab states that host the majority of Palestinian refugees (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria Palestinian refugees constitute a unique case study. ), but recognizes that the impact of such crises reaches beyond refugees, to citizens and other legal and illegal migrants.

Analysis And Occurrence Of Disinfection By-Products In Fresh And Salt Water, Honglan Shi Jan 2010

Analysis And Occurrence Of Disinfection By-Products In Fresh And Salt Water, Honglan Shi

Doctoral Dissertations

"Haloacetic acids, trihalomethanes, and bromate are important toxic water disinfection by-products (DBPs) that the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulates in drinking water. Iodoacetic acids and halonitromethanes (HNMs) are the unregulated emerging DBPs that have been recently found in the disinfected drinking waters, and which have much higher toxicity than the regulated DBPs. The purpose of this study was to develop new analytical methods for analysis of these emerging DBPs, to study their occurrence in Missouri drinking water systems, and to investigate the occurrence and formation of these DBPs in saltwater and seawater based marine park aquaria. A new rapid …


A Winning Proposition: The Economic Impact Of Successful National Football League Franchises, Michael C. Davis, Christian M. End Jan 2010

A Winning Proposition: The Economic Impact Of Successful National Football League Franchises, Michael C. Davis, Christian M. End

Economics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Research has demonstrated that a Super Bowl victory increases the personal income of the individuals in the metropolitan area from which the winning teams come. We argue that the economic benefits should extend beyond just the championship team's city to the cities of teams that experience seasonal success, and thus, the winning percentages of National Football League teams were included in our model. When controlling for sources of bias, winning percentage of the local professional football team had a significant positive effect on real per capita personal income. Explanations for these conclusions are offered from a psychological perspective. © 2008 …


The Development And Application Of A Novel Free-Damage Fracturing Fluid (Ph<2), Jin Zhang, Yan Zhang, Yongfu Wu, Xiuqing He, Xinzhu Zhang Jan 2010

At present, water-Based fracturing fluid systems are mainly polymer (macromolecule) and visco-elastic surfactant (micro molecule). Because of polymer properties and incomplete gelout, the damage to matrices and conductivity of artificial fractures will be inevitable. the surfactant-Based fracturing fluid system is a micro-molecule system not to damage artificial fractures. However, it is difficult to eliminate the damages from rock debris moving and clay swelling information. a novel free-damage fracturing fluid system (FDFF), a cationic surfactant derived from a long chain fatty acid, has been developed and applied in Daqing oil field. FDFF can crosslink in a wide range from a strong …
