The COVID-19 pandemic affected small farmers in the 2020 growing season as they navigated how to maintain their businesses while meeting health and safety concerns.Through interviews with Kit da Viaggio Ellis Creek Farm and Riverbend Ranch, two small farms in Thurston County, Washington, I explore the impacts of the pandemic, the need for flexibili
Exploring tabooed food among Dayaknese of Ngaju Women in Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia
Background: Dayak Ngaju is a sub-ethnic group of the Dayak tribe in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.This group practices cultural practices as an identity, including the food taboo.Objective: This study aimed to explore the food taboo practices among women of Ngaju Dayaknese living in Central Kalimantan Province.Methods: A qualitative descriptive stu
Elastic-plastic deformation of nanoplates. The method of variational iterations (extended Kantorovich method)
In this paper, a mathematical model is constructed based on the deformation theory of plasticity for studying the stress-strain state of Kirchhoff nanoplates (nanoeffects are taken into account according to the modified moment theory of elasticity).An economical and correct iterative method for calculating the stress-strain state of nanoplates Baby
A novel downscaling technique for the linkage of global and regional air quality modeling
Recently, downscaling global atmospheric model outputs (GCTM) for the USEPA Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Initial (IC) and Boundary Conditions (BC) have become practical because of the rapid growth of computational technologies that allow global simulations to be completed within a reasonable time.The traditional method of generating IC/B
