THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Relationship between climatic factors and the flea index of two plague hosts in Xilingol League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

Biosafety and Health
Climatic factors are closely associated with the occurrence of vector-borne diseases, and they also influence the distribution of vectors. The occurrence of plague is closely related to the population dynamics of fleas and their host animals, as well as ...

Epidemiological Dynamics of a Visually Apparent Disease: Camera Trapping and Machine‐Learning Applied to Rumpwear in the Common Brushtail Possum

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Visually apparent diseases are valuable for investigating and monitoring the occurrence and prevalence of pathogens in wildlife populations through passive monitoring methods like camera trapping. Rumpwear is characterized by visible signs of hair breakage and damage on the lumbosacral region of common brushtail possums.

Pathogens in fleas collected from cats and dogs: distribution and prevalence in the UK

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Fleas (Siphonaptera) are the most clinically important ectoparasites of dogs and cats worldwide. Rising levels of pet ownership, climate change and globalisation are increasing the importance of a detailed understanding of the endemicity and ...

Asymmetric Platform Oligopoly

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a tractable model of asymmetric platform oligopoly with logit demand in which users from two distinct groups are subject to within‐group and cross‐group network effects and decide which platform to join. We characterize the equilibrium when platforms manage user access by setting participation fees for each user group.

Estimated seroprevalence of Ehrlichia canis in dogs in a remote community in the Northern Territory, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Background The emergence of Ehrlichia canis in northern Australia in 2020 has reshaped the landscape of tick‐borne diseases in dogs, particularly in rural and remote communities where the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus linnaei) is endemic. Despite the rapid spread of ehrlichiosis and reported impacts on dog health, its prevalence remains poorly ...
