Evaluating geospatial accuracy for equity analyses: a case study of the U.S. National Bridge Inventory by Gandy, CA, Kang, X, Ritsch, N, Armanios, DE

“…Phase 3 assesses the feasibility of enhancing location granularity through a hand-checked case study. We find that for coarser geospatial levels (state and county), equity-based analyses may be possible, but for more granular geospatial levels (place and census tract), which is where equity-based analyses are often conducted, the data may need greater buffering and hand checks to ensure accuracy. …”

Advances in the chemistry of base-stabilized germanium(I) compounds towards C-C bond formation by Ong, Melissa Xin Yi

“…First, treatment of the amidinate-stabilized chlorogermylene and the 2-imino-5,6-methylenedioxylphenyl chlorogermylene with potassium graphite (KC8) afforded the amidinato germanium(I) dimer [RGeGeR] and the 2-imino-5,6-methylenedioxylphenyl germanium(I) dimer [LGeGeL] respectively. With the base-stabilized germanium(I) dimers in hand, they were used to investigate C-C bond formation reactions through the polymerization of various α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to form corresponding polymers with low molecular weight and low dispersity. …”
