Abstract:
... We examined 1200 sexual assault cold cases from Denver, Colorado to ascertain the rate of successful prosecution in which there was a DNA suspect match and the cost per conviction.Nearly 40% of the cases in which there was a DNA match failed to result in an arrest or prosecution primarily because victims were uncooperative or their testimony was judged to be unreliable. Other factors affecting con ...

This article suggests a new adaptive perturb and observe (AD-PO) and hybrid P&O (HB-PO) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms based on the variable speed - wind energy conversion system (WECS) to overcome drawbacks of conventional step-size P&O (CPO) algorithms and to improve the tracking performance of variable step-size P&O (VS-PO) algorithms. Both AD-PO and HB-PO algorithms divide the ...

Natural groundwater brine discharge to the Dolores River where it passes through the collapsed salt anticline of the Paradox Valley in western Colorado (USA) is a significant source of salt to the Colorado River. An airborne electromagnetic survey of Paradox Valley has provided insights into the three-dimensional distribut ...

Food waste measurement and policy often seek to differentiate between edible food and associated inedible parts, acknowledging different underlying causes for discard and different preferred solutions for waste management. Given the varying views of edibility within and across cultures, there is no widely agreed upon or universal categorization. To understand how edibility influences the outcome o ...

Low-cost aerosol monitors can provide more spatially- and temporally-resolved data on ambient fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) concentrations than are available from regulatory monitoring networks; however, concentrations reported by low-cost monitors are sometimes inaccurate. We investigated laboratory- and field-based approaches for calibrating low-cost PurpleAir monitors. First, we investigated ...

Hydraulic analysis, using the Sedimentation and River Hydraulic-2D model (SRH-2D), shows that the responsible peak paleoflood discharges ranged between 500 and 7500 m³/s. At least 14 of these paleoflood discharge peaks ex ...

However, in some mud-dominated sedimentary systems this common pattern may not occur; rather, alternative coarsening-upward trends can develop. We investigated point-bar deposits in the mud-dominated river terminus (median value (D₅₀) < 55 μm) of the meande ...

An alternative Lagrangian reference frame measures changes with respect to both space and time as water travels through a network. Here, we collected sensor‐based measurements of water chemistry at high spatial resolution along nearly 5 ...
