Bordering on environmental disaster.
Millions of people live on the U.S.-Mexico border, drawn by employment opportunities from industry and agriculture, and booming growth is expected to continue in the coming decades. But the influx of people has long outstripped the capacity of border towns and cities to provide for their citizens, and a large percentage of the population lives in sprawling, underserviced shantytowns. Although i...

متن کاملThe Bhopal gas tragedy: An environmental disaster
The multi-disciplinary study of histopathology and toxicology of Bhopal gas tragedy resolved several issues. First, the progression of severe pulmonary oedema to chronic fibrosis was confirmed experimentally, following a single exposure to MIC. Analysis of the residue in Tank 610 revealed over 21 chemicals. Apart from MIC and HCN, some of them were tracked down to the blood and viscera of dead ...
متن کاملIndigenous to moist organic soils bordering on creeks, lakes
and wetlands, the star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is one of the most distinctive mammals anywhere on Earth. Extensively distributed throughout eastern Canada and northeastern USA, star-nosed moles are reported to inhabit subarctic regions as far north as the fifty-fifth parallel (Peterson and Yates, 1980). Active year-round, C. cristata is chronically exposed to low ambient temperatures th...
متن کاملOn the Complexity of Sparse Gaussian Elimination via Bordering
The complexity of a general sparse Gaussian elimination algorithm based on the bordering algorithm is analyzed. It has been shown that this procedure requires less integer overhead storage than more traditional general sparse procedures, but the complexity of the nonnumerical overhead calculations was not clear. Here the nonnumerical complexity of the original procedure is shown to be comparabl...
