Evaluating Urban Greenery Through the Front-Facing Street View Imagery: Insights from a Nanjing Case Study

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
Street view imagery has become a vital tool for assessing urban street greenery, with the Green View Index (GVI) serving as the predominant metric. However, while GVI effectively quantifies overall greenery, it fails to capture the nuanced, human-scale ...

Contribution of NOAA- AVHRR data to African savan nahs Characterization [PDF]

, 2005
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is currently used for vegetation monitoring. Information on the state and evolution of the vegetation cover on continental areas is routinely obtained from Global Vegetation Index data (GVI).

On the intersection of free subgroups in free products of groups [PDF]

, 2007
Let (G_i | i in I) be a family of groups, let F be a free group, and let G = F *(*I G_i), the free product of F and all the G_i. Let FF denote the set of all finitely generated subgroups H of G which have the property that, for each g in G and each i in ...

Focused deterrence can reduce crime: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and quasi‐experiments

Criminology &Public Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Research summary Crime and violence continue to be problems that plague urban areas across the United States and the globe. One key approach for responding to these problems is “focused deterrence” which includes programs that prevent criminal behavior by blending criminal justice, social service, and community‐based action.

A Green Synergy Index for Urban Green Space Assessment Based on Multi-Source Data Integration

Remote Sensing
Current assessments of urban green spaces (UGS) rely largely on two-dimensional (2D) indicators, which fail to capture the three-dimensional (3D) structure necessary for evaluating ecological functions and human exposure.

Effect of Urban Green Space in the Hilly Environment on Physical Activity and Health Outcomes: Mediation Analysis on Multiple Greenery Measures

Land, 2022
Background: Green spaces reduce the risk of multiple adverse health outcomes by encouraging physical activity. This study examined correlations between urban green space and residents’ health outcomes in hilly neighborhoods: if they are mediated by ...

Phylogenetic and Functional Originality Shape Species Positions in Flea–Mammal Networks Across Biogeographic Realms

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The relationship between the position of a flea species in the networks and its functional originality was found to be consistently positive in all realms, independently of which originality index was used. ABSTRACT We investigated the relationships between a species’ network position (measured as the combined normalized degree, species strength, and ...

Street view versus remote sensing greenery – comparison of two exposure metrics across urban-rural settings

Geo-spatial Information Science
Urban greenery, as a critical urban landscape component, plays an important role in improving the living environments’ and residents’ well-being. Previous studies have predominantly adopted satellite image-based vegetation measurements.

The spectrum of communication abilities in children with 12 rare neurodevelopmental disorders: a qualitative study with caregivers

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 740-754, May 2026.
Background Our aim was to update an existing model of communication ability for children with rare neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) by centring caregiver and family perspectives. This project is part of a larger initiative to improve the measurement of communication ability for these children in the context of clinical trials.

Finding Disjoint Paths on Edge-Colored Graphs: More Tractability Results [PDF]

, 2017
The problem of finding the maximum number of vertex-disjoint uni-color paths in an edge-colored graph (called MaxCDP) has been recently introduced in literature, motivated by applications in social network analysis.
