Using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) and a novel method for measuring changes in educational attainment we examine the link between educational attainment and shale oil and gas extraction for the states of Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia. The three states examined are...

Using the 3-year sample of the American Community Survey (ACS) for 2009 to 2011, we compute public school teacher salaries for comparison across U.S. states. Teacher salaries are adjusted for state differences in teacher characteristics, cost of living, household amenity attractiveness and...

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death of gynecological malignancy. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) with high penetration ability and biosafety is considered as a minimally invasive method for the elimination of deep tumor. However, sonosensitizers with high efficiency are still urgently...

Controlled deposition of co-catalysts on requisite surfaces is highly crucial for myriad applications related to photocatalysis, energy conversion, and sunlight response. Here, carbon dots (CDs)-doped TNs (CDs/TNs), which possess high photocatalytic activity and wastewater purification ability,...

Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) are U.S. state mandates that utilities produce some of their electricity using renewable energy sources in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While advocates highlight the potential long-term benefits of RPS, critics argue that RPS will increase...

Using a spatial hedonic growth model, this paper empirically examines the relative roles of natural amenities and urban agglomeration economies as determinants of U.S. regional growth patterns from 2000 to 2010. Natural amenities and urban agglomeration are measured using the USDA Economic...

Increased population pressure and political decisions have led to more intensive agricultural practices in China. As in other regions of the world, these practices can damage natural capital. We use the Kalman filter and Chinese panel data to estimate an index of environmental productivity...

China's recycling roadmap and technology scheme for used automotive electronic control components are investigated. The mathematical analysis model of the remanufacturing process is established on the basis of stochastic network technology, as well as on the graphical evaluation and review...
