Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Measuring rural health care quality is challenging, and payer and government reporting requirements are frequently misaligned. The Pennsylvania Rural Health Model, a multipayer global budget demonstration for rural hospitals, initially required the proposal of an All‐Payer Quality (APQ) Program in which participating payers would have held participating hospitals accountable for performan ...

Abstract:
... Freshwater unionid mussels produce a bilayered shell with the mineral proportion comprising an outer prismatic and an inner nacreous layer. The shell is the animals' primary structural means of protection from predators and environmental challenges; therefore, variations in shell strength and properties may lead to differences in survival. Few studies have systematically assessed shell properties ...

Abstract:
... Active ingredients in pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) can persist through wastewater treatment plants and be released into the environment where they can inadvertently pose risks to non-target organisms. Emerging contaminants (ECs), including PPCPs, are commonly detected in wastewater effluent. With the increasing beneficial re-use of treated wastewater globally, there is a need ...

Abstract:
... Just and equitable access to public lands is of critical importance. A key dimension of access is the sense of inclusion, or how people feel welcome and belonging in space. We analyzed how trail users experienced the sense of inclusion within a public greenspace in eastern Pennsylvania, USA. We found that people of color felt less included than whites while on the trail, even when controlling for ...

Abstract:
... Seismic imaging provides key information for revealing structures within Earth's critical zone (CZ) and quantifying subsurface fluid properties. The P‐wave velocity (Vp) models estimated by seismic refraction tomography or acoustic full waveform inversion (FWI) are useful to delineate the thicknesses of weathered bedrock but ambiguously map fluid properties in CZ. Considering the complementary sen ...

Abstract:
... Urban tree cover is inequitable in many American cities, with low-income and non-white neighborhoods typically having the least coverage. Some municipal and non-profit tree planting programs aim to address this inequity by targeting low-income neighborhoods; however, many programs face lack of participation or resistance from local residents. In this study, we aimed to uncover the economic, social ...

Unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD) sometimes impacts water resources, including incidents of methane (CH₄) migration from compromised wells and spills that degrade water with salts, organics, and metals. We hypothesized that contamination may be more common where UOGD overlaps with legacy coal, oil, and gas extraction. We tested this hypothesis on ∼7000 groundwater analyses from the lar ...
