Potential for conflict between urban coyotes and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Across North America, both unsheltered homelessness and human–coyote (Canis latrans) conflict are increasing, but the relationship between these phenomena has not been thoroughly explored. We synthesize literature‐based evidence with anecdotal observations that occurred during a 15‐year study of coyotes in Edmonton, Canada, to describe three likely ...

Composite materials based on dual network cross‐linking for flexible sensors
FlexMat, EarlyView.Utilizing hydrogen bond lithium bond dual network structure to effectively enhance the rapid self‐healing properties of flexible ionic materials. Abstract The further development of flexible ionic materials is limited by the evaporation or leakage of their internal liquid state. This article presents a composite flexible ionic material with no internal

New Medical Schools, Access to Physicians, and Health Outcomes: Evidence From Japan
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyse the impact of the construction of medical schools and associated university hospitals in Japan during the 1970s, which was primarily driven by ‘One Prefecture, One Medical School Policy’ (OPOMS). We find that the number of physicians increased significantly in prefectures where a medical school was built, and this effect persisted ...
