Abstract:

Is Houston Turning Green?Houston metropolitan area is ranking now the 6th largest in the US, with a growth of 1 million people in 8 years. Despite its success story, Houston suffers from a long-standing environmental bad press. The city is well known for its lack of zoning. However, Houston officials display considerable efforts to "green" their city and improve its reputation. This new policy orientation raises interesting research questions about its effective adaptive capacity to the emerging pattern of sustainable development. This paper aims at assessing the strength and weaknesses of Hou

The native range of <em>Ophichthys cuchia</em> includes part of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, and Nepal. <em>Ophichthys cuchia</em> has also been collected within six states in the USA (Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania) and an established invasive population exists in New Orleans (Louisiana). We provide the first record of <em>O. cuchia</em> from Texas and the second report of an established non-native population in the USA based on 26 museum vouchered specimens collected from a series of urban ponds within the Houston metro area (Fort Bend Co.).

Abstract:

The article investigates the relationship between environmental violations and water utility infrastructure investment in the Houston metropolitan area through a lens of institutional fragmentation. Special purpose water districts are highly capital-intensive service jurisdictions, which makes them extremely dependent on local fiscal capacity. Fiscal capacity is also important for a water district’s ability to respond to performance failures, particularly regulatory violations. Resource base, however, is unevenly distributed between special purpose water districts in the highly fragmented Hous

This study aimed to identify changes in food distribution operations at emergency food assistance organizations (EFAOs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. EFAOs across the Houston metro area, TX (human service centers and food pantries) as well as the Houston Food Bank (HFB) participated in the qualitative study. Data were collected via individual semi-structured interviews and focus group (December 2020–February 2021), and coded using semi-structured thematic analysis. Categories were pre-identified based on the interview questions. Direct quotes supported subcategories. Directors from 18 EFAOs we

Background: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common cause of acquired immune platelet destruction in children. Clinical symptoms range from asymptomatic to significant and even life-threatening bleeding, fatigue, and reduced health-related quality of life. About 75% of affected children experience spontaneous remission, with the remainder developing chronic ITP. Our clinical observations suggest a decreased prevalence of ITP among Black children, although no available studies have evaluated racial or ethnic predisposition to ITP or to chronic disease.

The primary objective of this study was to examine the quality of volunteered geographic information (VGI) data for flood mapping of Hurricane Harvey. As a crowdsourcing platform, the U-Flood project mapped flooded streets in the Houston metro area. This research examines the following: (1) If there are any significant differences in water depth (WD) among the hydraulic and hydrologic (H&H) model, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reference floodplain map, and the VGI? (2) Are there any significant differences in the inundated areas between the floodplain modeled by the VGI an

The study reveals a long-term, highly productive population, with deep ties to the United States. In particular, it finds that: • More than 2.2 million US residents would qualify for conditional residence under the DREAM Act. • An additional 929,000 — who are now age 18 and over — arrived when they were under 18, but have not graduated from high school and are not enrolled in school and, thus, would not currently qualify for status

The HAV infection typically presents with minor symptoms, but the infection can cause serious complications and death in those with poor health.

Retention of plastics in estuaries and storage in sediments likely contributes to the mass imbalance between the amount of ocean plastic debris and input from land. A sediment transport model, coupled with a hydrodynamic and wave model, was employed to analyze how microplastics of varying settling velocities behave under non-storm conditions and during extreme storm events in Galveston Bay, USA. The model was informed by measured concentrations of microplastics in a main tributary (Buffalo Bayou), which flows through the highly populated Houston-metro area.
