Environmental justice teaching in an undergraduate context: examining the intersection of community-engaged, inclusive, and anti-racist pedagogy by Rabe, Christopher

“…Since the early 1980s, the environmental justice (EJ) movement was critical in drawing much needed attention on how Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), and low-income groups have experienced a disproportionate burden of environmental harms. This movement eventually formed the field of environmental justice, a multidisciplinary area of study that attempts to identify environmental injustices and provide theory and practice for their resolution. …”

Solving specified-time distributed optimization problem via sampled-data-based algorithm by Zhou, Jialing, Lv, Yuezu, Wen, Changyun, Wen, Guanghui

“…Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can realize specified-time optimization by exchanging information among neighbors only at discrete sampling instants and thus reduces the communication burden. In addition, the equality constraint is always satisfied during the whole process, which makes the proposed algorithm applicable to online solving distributed optimization problems such as energy resource allocation. …”
