Critical needs to close monitoring gaps in pan-tropical wetland CH 4 emissions
Global wetlands are the largest and most uncertain natural source of atmospheric methane (CH 4 ). The FLUXNET-CH 4 synthesis initiative has established a global network of flux tower infrastructure, offering valuable data products and fostering a dedicated community for the measurement and analysis of methane flux data. Existing studies using the FLUXNET-CH 4 Community Product v1.0 have provided invaluable insights into the drivers of ecosystem-t…
Increased salinity decreases annual gross primary productivity at a Northern California brackish tidal marsh
Tidal marshes sequester 11.4–87.0 Tg C yr −1 globally, but climate change impacts can threaten the carbon capture potential of these ecosystems. Tidal marshes occur across a wide range of salinity, with brackish marshes (0.5–18 ppt (parts per thousand)) dominating global tidal marsh extents. A diverse mix of freshwater- and saltwater-tolerant plant and microbial communities has led researchers to predict that carbon cycling in brackish wetlands m…
Functional Status Is Associated With 30-Day Potentially Preventable Readmissions Following Home Health Care
BACKGROUND: Beginning in 2019, home health agencies' rates of potentially preventable hospital readmissions over the 30 days following discharge will be publicly reported. OBJECTIVES: Our primary objective was to determine the association between patients' functional status at discharge from home health care and 30-day potentially preventable readmissions. A secondary objective was to identify the most common conditions resulting in potentially p…
Pneumonia Readmissions in Older Adults With Dementia
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Pneumonia readmissions have significant quality of care and policy implications for patients and health care providers. Research indicates that initiatives to decrease readmissions should target high-risk subgroups. Older adults with dementia have an increased risk of pneumonia and subsequent hospitalizations, suggesting that they may be at high-risk of pneumonia readmissions. The purpose of this study was to determine if a…

Potential for negative emissions of greenhouse gases (CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O) through coastal peatland re-establishment
High productivity temperate wetlands that accrete peat via belowground biomass (peatlands) may be managed for climate mitigation benefits due to their global distribution and notably negative emissions of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) through rapid storage of carbon (C) in anoxic soils. Net emissions of additional greenhouse gases (GHG)—methane (CH _4 ) and nitrous oxide (N _2 O)—are more difficult to predict and monitor due to fine-scale t…
Uncertainty in United States coastal wetland greenhouse gas inventorying
Coastal wetlands store carbon dioxide (CO2) and emit CO2 and methane (CH4) making them an important part of greenhouse gas (GHG) inventorying. In the contiguous United States (CONUS), a coastal wetland inventory was recently calculated by combining maps of wetland type and change with soil, biomass, and CH4 flux data from a literature review. We assess uncertainty in this developing carbon monitoring system to quantify confidence in the inventory…
Getting into the Spirit of Things

On Dangerous Ground
Giving Flesh to the 'Wraiths of Violence
Death, afterlife, and the eschatology of consciousness
Definitions of death and the experience of dying have signally changed in the last half century; a change resulting, in part, from the sequestration and medicalization of quotidian death. This article explores the consequences of this for cultural representations of death (and its transcendence) in contemporary film. A critical commentary on Mike Nichol's film Wit, Pedro Almodovar's Talk to her, and Vincent Ward's What dreams may come demonstrate…
Crime, Law and Symbolic Order
Crime, Law and Symbolic Order: the Rhetoric of Transparency Sara L. Knox (bio) Introduction In a radio address of June 22nd 1996, President Clinton addressed the federalization of notification and registration procedures for repeat sexual offenders. Clinton described the Wetterling Act as one decisive victory in an already advanced law and order campaign. Had not his administration “worked hard to combat the crime and violence that has become all…
A few deaths, here and there
The humble statistic regulates both the private and public accounting of death and risk; and an ideological and rhetorical accounting attempts to make death orderly (in its disorder), and predictable (in its randomness). Using Jane Smiley's novella The age of grief and the colloquial metaphysics of the essays of Annie Dillard, the author here examines such rhetorical accounting strategies and their duty to the dead, personal and collective

New Ways to Frame the Mammoth Horror
This article explores the state of emergency following Hurrican Katrina or 'the Katrina Event' with reference to the role of media first responders. Throughout the ensuing disaster the performance of the media (including celebrity advocates like Oprah Winfrey, Geraldo Rivera and Kanye West) worked as a mechanism for technical remastery in the face of systemic breakdown. This re-mediation of panic and of the state of emergency shifted attention fr…
