    They Always Get Our Story Wrong”: Addressing Social Justice Activists’ News Distrust Through Solidarity Reporting
    (Media and Communication, 2023-12) Varma, Anita; Limov, Brad; Cabas‐Mijares, Ayleen
    This study positions social justice activists’ objections to dominant reporting norms as a catalyst for critically reassessing these norms and their connection to diminishing trust in US journalism. Based on a conceptual application of discourse ethics to journalism and qualitative analysis of 28 in‐depth interviews with social justice activists, we examine how par‐ ticipants experience and evaluate mainstream coverage of social justice, and why they think journalism could improve its trustworthiness through practices consistent with solidarity reporting norms.

    Unraveling US Newspapers’ Digital and Print Subscriptions in the Context of Price, 2016–2022
    (Media and Communication, 2024-02) Chyi, Hsiang Iris; Jeong, Sun Ho
    Despite industry-wide efforts in digitally transforming news organizations, research showed that most newspapers’ legacy products still outperformed the same newspaper’s digital offerings in terms of engagement, circulation, readership, pricing, advertising, and subscription revenue—all by a wide margin. But Covid-19 created an unprecedented scenario where the need for instant, local news updates, the fear of contacting anything tangible, and financial stress may have changed consumer behavior. To assess the state of the newspaper industry, this study analyzes short-term and long-term trends in US newspapers’ digital and print circulation before and during the pandemic. The analysis considered price, an important factor often neglected in discussions about newspaper demand. Utilizing rich industry data, this study analyzed 18 US metro daily newspapers’ circulation trends during 2016–2022. The results revealed that digital circulation increased rapidly after the onset of Covid-19 but subsequently decreased after reaching the peak in Q3 2021. Print circulation continued its rapid decline since 2016, accompanied by continuous, substantial price hikes for print subscriptions—a typical print subscription now costs over $1,000 a year. Despite circulation declines, the print edition remains the core product, with more subscribers paying far more than digital subscribers. Because of the immense price gap (6 to 1), the seemingly promising increase in digital subscriptions during Covid-19 could not generate nearly as much revenue to cover the loss on the print side, resulting in a substantial loss in total subscription revenue. The state of the US newspaper industry needs immediate attention.

    One Size Does Not Fit All: Variation in English Learners’ Programmatic Experiences and Postsecondary Trajectories
    (2024-01-15) Schudde, Lauren; Callahan, Rebecca; Kwon, Yujin; Pack-Cosme, Kimberly
    Although students who have ever been identified as English learners (ever-ELs) during K–12 comprise a growing share of the population, the transient nature of K–12 English Learner (EL) status and services makes it difficult for researchers to follow their educational pipeline. Ever-ELs’ backgrounds and experiences vary considerably, with differences in grade of entry into the U.S. school system, duration in EL status, and, for some, waiving out of English language development services. We use longitudinal state administrative data with repeated measures of EL status to examine the college entrance; college type; and early, intermediate, and long-term college outcomes of Spanish-speaking ever-EL students in Texas. By linking K–12, postsecondary, and workforce data, we control for differences in students’ demographic and academic characteristics and examine the association between their EL programmatic experiences and postsecondary outcomes. Our results offer new insights into the postsecondary trajectories of ever-EL high-school seniors.

    Uncovering the dynamics of urease and carbonic anhydrase genes in ureolysis, carbon dioxide hydration and calcium carbonate precipitation
    (Environmental Science and Technology, 2024-01) Saracho, Alexandra Clarà; Marek, Ewa J.
    The hydration of CO2 suffers from kinetic inefficiencies that make its natural trapping impractically sluggish. However, CO2-fixing carbonic anhydrases remarkably accelerate its equilibration by six orders of magnitude and are, therefore, ’ideal’ catalysts. Notably, carbonic anhydrase has been detected in ureolytic bacteria, suggesting its potential involvement in microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), yet the dynamics of the urease (Ur) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) genes remain poorly understood. Here, through the use of ureolytic bacterium Sporosaracina pasteurii, we investigate the differing role of Ur and CA in ureolysis, CO2 hydration, and CaCO3 precipitation with increasing CO2(g) concentrations. We show that Ur gene up-regulation coincides with an increase in [HCO3-] following the hydration of CO2 to HCO3- by CA. Hence, CA physiologically promotes buffering, which enhances solubility trapping and affects the phase of the CaCO3 mineral formed. Understanding the role of CO2 hydration on the performance of ureolysis and CaCO3 precipitation provides essential new insights, required for the development of next-generation bio-catalysed CO2 trapping technologies.

    Comparing Estimates of Wind Turbine Fatigue Loads using Time-Domain and Spectral Methods
    (Sage Journals, 2007-03) Ragan, Patrick; Manuel, Lance
    Fatigue analysis for wind turbines is typically carried out in the time domain, using cycle counting techniques such as ASTM’s Rainflow Cycle-Counting Algorithm. As an alternative, earlier workers investigated the feasibility of estimating wind turbine fatigue loads using spectral techniques such as Dirlik’s method to estimate stress range probability distributions that are based on spectral moments of the load in question. The present paper re-examines this approach with a particular view to assessing its limitations and advantages in the context of modern, large-scale wind turbines and design methods. These relative advantages are considered in terms of accuracy, statistical reliability, and efficiency of calculation. Field data on loads from a utility-scale 1.5 MW turbine near Lamar, Colorado in the Colorado Green Wind Farm are analyzed here as a representative example. The results show that valuable and reliable information about tower loads can be obtained very efficiently. By contrast, the limitations of the Dirlik method are highlighted by poor results for edgewise blade loads.
