High-Resolution Housing Data for Primary Prevention: What Address-Level Records Add to National Lead-Based-Paint Screening.

Big data and human geography

We are entering an era of big data – data sets that are characterised by high volume, velocity, variety, exhaustivity, resolution and indexicality, relationality and flexibility. Much of these data are spatially and temporally referenced an...

An Anthropology of Ethics

Through an ambitious and critical revision of Michel Foucault's investigation of ethics, James Faubion develops an original program of empirical inquiry into the ethical domain. From an anthropological perspective, Faubion argues that Fouca...

The Behavioral Foundations of Public Policy

In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in behavioral research on a wide variety of topics, from behavioral finance, labor contracts, philanthropy, and the analysis of savings and poverty, to eyewitness identification and sentenc...

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of community perinatal mental health services on access, experience, recovery/relapse and obstetric and neonate outcomes: the ESMI-II mixed-methods study

Background Perinatal mental health disorders affect one in five mothers during pregnancy or within 2 years post childbirth. These disorders can lead to poor pregnancy and childbirth outcomes and maternal deaths. Additionally, they negativel...

MAPPING RICE CROPPING SYSTEM IN THE LOWER GANGETIC PLAIN USING LANDASAT 8 (OLI) AND MODIS IMAGERY

The Indo-Gangetic basin is one of the productive rice growing areas in South-East Asia. Within this extensive flat fertile land, lower Gangetic basin, especially the south Bengal, is most intensively cultivated. In this study we map the ric...

The Global Forest Fire Emissions Prediction System version 1.0

The Global Forest Fire Emissions Prediction System (GFFEPS) is a model that estimates biomass burning in near-real time for global air quality forecasting. The model uses a bottom-up approach, based on remotely sensed hotspot locations, and...

Measurement scales and statistics: A clash of paradigms.

The "permissible statistics " controversy stems from a clash of different theories or paradigms of measurement. Three theories are identified: the representational, the operational, and the classical. In each case the relation between measu...

The Geography of Development

We develop a dynamic spatial growth theory with realistic geography. We characterize the model and its balanced-growth path and propose a methodology to analyze equilibria with different levels of migration frictions. Different migration sc...

Synergetic method between materials flow and energy flow in iron and steel intelligent manufacturing

Iron and steel enterprises are facing difficult problems such as increasing inventory, excess capacity, and poor profitability. It is urgent to solve them through the development of green and intelligent manufacturing technology for iron an...

Spatiotemporal variation of the ecosystem service value in China based on surface area

The assessment of ecological assets is of great significance for protecting and using ecological resources. Traditional methods of ecological assets assessment, which adopt the planar area as the standard, often ignore the impact of the sur...

Rare genetic diseases associated with G-quadruplex-induced replication stress

Abstract DNA replication stress is incurred by endogenous or environmental challenges to replication fork progression that impede faithful genome duplication. Genomic G-quadruplexes (G4s) are DNA secondary structures that present a substant...

Study of the growth mechanism of a self-assembled and ordered multi-dimensional heterojunction at atomic resolution

Abstract Multi-dimensional heterojunction materials have attracted much attention due to their intriguing properties, such as high efficiency, wide band gap regulation, low dimensional limitation, versatility and scalability. To further imp...

Improved production of titanate nanotubes by hydrothermal method for adsorption of organic dyes

Abstract Background Increasing the yield of nanomaterials using the same reactor size and fixing most of the reactants and conditions will greatly improve the production process by saving time, energy and efforts. Titanate nanotubes are mai...

Proteoliposomes – a system to study membrane proteins under buffer gradients by cryo-EM

Membrane proteins are vital to life and major therapeutic targets. Yet, understanding how they function is limited by a lack of structural information. In biological cells, membrane proteins reside in lipidic membranes and typically experie...

High Sensitivity Microfiber Interferometer Sensor in Aqueous Solution

The need for environmental protection and water pollution control has led to the development of different sensors for determining many kinds of pollutants in water. Ammonia nitrogen presence is an important indicator of water quality in env...

Synergistic heterojunction effects in Ag3PO4/SnO2 nanocomposites: a photocatalytic study on isoproturon degradation

IntroductionPesticides such as isoproturon are widely employed and represent a considerable environmental concern. The development of sustainable and efficient degrading techniques is crucial. Photocatalytic degradation employing semiconduc...
