Property Clause Power Play: The Blm's Conservation Rule And Loper Bright, Meridian S. Wappett, Sandra B. Zellmer

Public Land & Resources Law Review

This article examines the implications of Loper Bright on public land management through rulemaking. Part II provides a comprehensive overview of the case, its holding, and its potential ramifications. Part III delves into the history of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), to illuminate the evolution and underlying rationale for agency deference. Part IV analyzes the constitutional framework underpinning the BLM’s statutory authority, rooted primarily in the Property Clause, which delegates the task of making “needful” rules governing public lands to Congress and to federal land management agencies. Finally, Part V argues that the Rule is valid, whether a reviewing court …

Occupational Noise Exposure In Mechanical And Maintenance Workshops In A Food Industry: Case Study, Hassan Kamalaldein Felemban, Ahmed Saleh Summan, Radhouane Chakroun

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture

Occupational noise exposure in industrial environments presents considerable hazards to workers' health and welfare. This case study analyzes the noise levels in the Maintenance & Workshop units of a small-scale food industry in Saudi Arabia, and assesses the related health impacts. The research indicates that noise levels are often above the advised safety limits, with several locations recording measures over 85 dBA, hence increasing the risk of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), cardiovascular complications, and psychological distress. Survey data indicates that around 32% of employees claimed that they suffer from hearing impairment, while a considerable number claimed cardiovascular and mental health …

Utilizing Theoretical And Experimental Gaseous Co2 Filling Behavior In Gas Hydrate Formation Parameters, Mohammed G.H. Haidar, Iqbal Ahmed Moujdin

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Engineering Sciences

Gas hydrates are increasingly becoming a viable method due to their potential efficiency and minimal energy demands. The capacity to manipulate and regulate the development of these hydrates is essential for enhancing their application in practical contexts. The study employed a VINCI autoclave apparatus to experimentally investigate the CO₂ filling rate necessary to attain hydration pressure with minimal temperature increase. MATLAB is used to derive theoretical gas filling equations that control the filling behavior and compare them with the results of our tests. A clear proportional link exists between filling flow rates and temperature increment within the reactor. The …

This study aims to assess the efficacy of neem extract and its silver nanoparticles as antifungal agents against these infections. Upon reviewing their morphological and genetic traits, the predominant species identified were Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus versicolor and Aspergillus tubingensis. Laboratory-based …

Comparative Analysis Of The Efficiency Of Reverse Osmosis And Hydroxyapatite For Fluoride Removal In Water: A Case Of Auwsa, Innocent J. Macha

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Water treatment technology selection depends on contaminant type and budget. Fluoride removal from water is particularly challenging, requiring non-conventional treatment technologies (Radwan, 2023). Several regions in Tanzania, including Arusha City, are affected by fluoride contamination. With a population of 617,631 (Census, 2022), only 117,763 people currently have access to clean water supplied by AUWSA. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Hydroxyapatite (HAP) in fluoride removal as a strategy to address water quality and supply challenges.

Spatially Resolved Transcriptomic Profiles Of Placental Cell Populations In Placental Malaria, Corina A. Mong

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Malaria remains a prevalent infectious disease that continues to cause disease-related morbidity and mortality. Despite preventative efforts, malarial pregnancies still cause birth complications, therefore emphasizing the necessity to study these adverse outcomes in malarial pregnancy. Malaria in pregnancy can lead to placental malaria (PM), which is the presence and accumulation of Plasmodium-infected red blood cells in the placental intervillous space (IVS). Even after treatment, past PM (presence of hemozoin crystals from the parasite in the placenta) can cause a chronic inflammatory response. We predicted that the activation states of the maternal monocytes and fetal macrophages differ within the placenta and …

Jurnal Manajemen dan Usahawan Indonesia

This study investigates how individual factors—namely emotional intelligence, external locus of control, risk aversion, and financial literacy—affect the intention to invest in risky financial instruments in Indonesia. The research explores both the direct and indirect effects of these factors on risky investment intentions. Data were collected from 507 respondents through an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence, external locus of control, and financial literacy positively influence the intention to invest in risky assets, while risk aversion has a negative effect. Additionally, the analysis of indirect effects shows that financial literacy moderates the relationship between emotional intelligence and risk …

When Words Fail: Why Ai-Driven Context Beats Word Error Rate For Safety-Critical Air Traffic Control, Muhammad Maaz

Theses and Dissertations

Accurate speech-to-text transcription is critical for Air Traffic Control (ATC) to en- sure safety and operational efficiency. However, existing Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems struggle with domain-specific phraseology, high noise levels, and real-time constraints. This work explores domain adaptation strategies of OpenAI’s Whisper ASR model, applying Transfer Learning and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) on ATC benchmark and a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) corpus. Experimental results show that fine- tuning significantly reduces Word Error Rate (WER) from 55.2% to 6.8%, yet WER alone fails to capture safety-critical transcription errors. To address WER’s limitations, we introduce the Contextual Error Rate (CER), a novel …

Perempuan: Keterwakilan Dalam Partai Politik Dan Badan Legislatif, Inna Insan, Fide Gracia Simatupang, Sharon Golda Ylleanor

Jurnal Konstitusi & Demokrasi

Partisipasi perempuan dalam politik merupakan salah satu indikator penting dalam menilai kualitas demokrasi suatu negara. Representasi yang setara antara laki-laki dan perempuan, khususnya dalam partai politik dan badan legislatif, tidak hanya menjadi wujud dari keadilan gender, tetapi juga menjadi sarana untuk memperkaya pengambilan kebijakan yang dapat dinilai inklusif dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan seluruh warga negara. Namun dalam kenyataannya, keterlibatan perempuan dalam ranah ini masih diwarnai dengan berbagai tantangan struktural, budaya, dan historis.

Life Beneath The Tides: Seagrass Meadows In Surigao Del Sur, Philippines, Giselle B. Ramos, Roxan E. Caray

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Marine Science

Seagrasses are a valuable component of global blue carbon ecosystems yet are also endangered due to natural and man-made pressures. This study assessed the seagrass resources regarding species community structure and diversity using a transect-quadrat design along the intertidal coastlines of selected towns of Surigao del Sur. Of the 19 recorded species in the Philippines, seven common species were observed: Cymodocea rotundata, Enhalus acoroides, Halodule pinifolia, Halodule uninervis, Thalassia hemprichii, Syringodium isoetifolium, and Halophila ovalis. Across study sites, the most evident species are T. hemprichii, C. rotundata, and S. isoetifolium; the existence …

Steric Sea Level Variability Over The Red Sea, Turki Alraddadi

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Marine Science

The current paper analyzes the steric sea level (SSL) variability over the Red Sea (RS) and linked it with climate modes namely, North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and East Atlantic West Russian (EAWR) patterns using a reanalysis dataset. Long-term (1993--2015) profile temperature and salinity data acquired from Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) was used to compute the SSL. The results show that the SSL is out of phase comparing to the total sea level, which may reduce fluctuations of water level within the sea. Furthermore, it accounts for only 10% of the total sea level variations. The first and second Empirical …
