Quantification of nitrogen in subducting slabs and its recycling in the forearc and sub-arc regions
DownloadSpring 2023
Nitrogen, a life-essential element, is exchanged between Earth’s surface and interior through subduction, which has been acting as a dominant driving force regulating the long-term evolution of Earth’s major N reservoirs. However, the nitrogen input fluxes into global subduction zones and the...

Implementing Hospital-Based Supervised Consumption Services: Healthcare Provider Perspectives on an Innovation in Clinical Care
DownloadSpring 2024
Hospital settings are considered high-risk environments for people who use drugs (PWUD). Abstinence-based policies and a lack of access to in-hospital harm reduction services can result in high-risk drug consumption practices, increase the risk of unsupervised overdose, and contribute to high...
