Towards a Performative Understanding of Deservingness: Merit, Gender and the BBC Pay Dispute
(Wiley Online Library, 2020)Drawing largely on a high-profile case of unequal pay at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an illustrative example, this conceptual paper considers differences and interrelationships between merit and deservingness, ... -
Trace metals, PAHs, and PCBs in sediments from the Jobos Bay area in Puerto Rico
(2010-08)This study provides baseline information on the extent of contamination in sediments of the Jobos Bay estuary and surrounding areas in Puerto Rico. Sediments from Jobos Bay area (n = 14) had higher overall average ... -
Trans-Eurasian energy transportation networks and the necessity of regional cooperation
(CAUCASUS International, 2016)The Central Asia-Transcaspian region is rich in energy resources. However, these resources cannot be fully developed without fostering international cooperation. The ‘pipeline wars’ between competing consortia is not ... -
Transient Modeling of a New Solar Distillation Unit for Remote Areas
(2016-12)The concept of lack of fresh water in our daily life is hard to imagine in recent times with its increasing demand. Lack of fresh water supplies has become one of the major current societal concerns, especially for people ... -
