Volumetric Waste: Containing Polymorphous Plastic in Bangkok’s Circular Economies

This paper examines how volumetric reasoning permeates everyday practices in Bangkok’s circular economies. While circular economies calculate, value, and contain plastic waste, mobile waste flows are hidden from view and often evade regulation. As a result, circular economy initi...

Five Decades of Dispute: A Triptych. E. J. Corey

In the published version of his March 2004 Priestley Medal address, E. J. Corey stated “On May 4, 1964, I suggested to my colleague R. B. Woodward a simple explanation involving the symmetry of the perturbed (HOMO) molecular orbitals for the stereoselective cyclobutene/1,3‐butadi...

Parsing the Longitudinal Relationship Between Avoidant Automatic Thoughts and Avoidance

Purpose: Avoidant automatic thoughts (AAT) have been proposed as a mechanism of problematic avoidance in ADHD. AAT are positively associated with task avoidance in the moment; however, the longitudinal and directional nature of this relationship has yet to be explored. Objective:...

Crescents and the Real Variable Cesàro Operator

Abstract This paper explores a version of the classical Cesàro integral operator for the Lebesgue space $$L^p(0, 1)$$ L p ( 0 , 1 ) where we discuss its norm, spectral properties, cyclicity, and invariant subspaces. The spectrum of the Cesàro operator will be a crescent domain wh...

Identifying Orbit Lengths for Promotion

In this work we study Schützenberger's promotion operator on standard Young tableaux via a corresponding graphical construction known as $m-$diagrams. In particular, we prove that certain internal structures of SYT are preserved under promotion and correspond to distinct componen...

Every Shot, Zero-Shot: The Decoupling of Framing and Duration in Sound-Era Hollywood and Prestige Film

We study the visual pacing of 1,236 feature films from three overlapping film corpora: the Academy Award Best Picture nominees (1927–2009), the corresponding ten highest-grossing films in the United States in the same time period (1927–2009), and the British Film Institute's Grea...

Self-Assembled Monolayersof Phosphorus–NitrogenCages

Abstract This study investigates the deposition of the phosphorus–nitrogen (PN) cage P2N6 onto Au and Cu surfaces using both vapor-phase and solution-phase methods. The P2N6 cage sublimes cleanly and reaches an onset of volatility near 83 °C, suitable for vapor-phase deposition p...

Influence ofVarying Porewater NaCl Concentrationson Mobilization of Metals, Arsenic, and Phosphorus Stored in StreambedSediments

Abstract Winter deicing salt use has increased freshwater salinization, with groundwater-surface water interactions exposing streambed sediments to large salinity fluctuations. This study examines how salinity fluctuations mobilize metals (Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn), arsenic (As...
