Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRacialization of Drug Use and Gang Involvement: Racial Crime Stereotype of Minorities, Fear of Crime and the Impact of SexVeronica M. Ahadzie, Robert L. PeraltaThis study examines how racialized crime and drug stereotypes of African Americans and Hispanics affect the fear of crime. Based on racial threat theory, which argues that members of the majority racial group perceive the increasing minority group population as threatening, and labeling theory, which argues that labeling someone as "deviant" reinforces that behavior and affects how they are treated, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2025 · 5,593 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNondestructive Assessment of Egg Freshness using a Synchronous Fluorescence Spectral TechniqueJianhu Wu, Guifeng Li, Yankun Peng et al.Freshness is an important index of egg quality. In this study, a synchronous fluorescence spectral technique was employed to determine the freshness of an intact egg. Synchronous fluorescence spectra of intact eggs were acquired using a fluorescence spectrometer supported by a laboratory fluorescence acquisition device and egg freshness (Haugh Unit) was obtained using destructive methods. Eggs feature fluorescence signals were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2019 · 8,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA New Approach to Model Concentrating PV Cells Under Non-Uniform IlluminationHang Zhou, Yuehong Su, Gang Pei et al.Concentrating PV (CPV) cells are often designed optimally depending on solar concentrator characteristics and operating conditions to ensure the best system performance. Before reaching a PV cell, solar radiation may experience some optical losses caused by the different physical phenomena occurring in a solar concentrator. A particular issue with the CPV technology is the non-uniformity of the concentrated radiation, which … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2017 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
