Synergistic Interactions of Dynamic Ridesharing and Battery Electric Vehicles Land Use, Transit, and Auto Pricing Policies [PDF]

, 2015
It is widely recognized that new vehicle and fuel technology is necessary, but not sufficient, to meet deep greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions goals for both the U.S. and the state of California.

An integrated approach to balance freshwater connectivity restoration and invasion risk

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat fragmentation negatively affects many native migratory fish populations. However, this fragmentation can also prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species. We modified the dendritic connectivity index (DCI), a commonly used freshwater connectivity metric, to account for multiple invasive dispersal pathways in estimates of ...

sRAGE and early signs of cardiac target organ damage in mild hypertensives

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2019
Background Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (sRAGE) may be considered a marker inversely related to inflammation and its participation has been established in patients with advanced atherosclerotic vascular diseases.

On the Weyl Curvature Hypothesis

, 2013
The Weyl curvature hypothesis of Penrose attempts to explain the high homogeneity and isotropy, and the very low entropy of the early universe, by conjecturing the vanishing of the Weyl tensor at the Big-Bang singularity. In previous papers it has been

Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

P42 24-HOUR CENTRAL BLOOD PRESSURE IS MORE STRONGLY ASSOCIATED TO TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE THAN BRACHIAL BLOOD PRESSURE: FIRST RESULTS OF THE VASOTENS REGISTRY

Artery Research, 2017
Objective: In the present analysis of the VASOTENS study [1] baseline data, we checked whether organ damage of hypertension (TOD) i) is better associated with 24-hour central than peripheral BP and ii) is related to ambulatory arterial stiffness ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Developing a bikeability index in the context of transit-oriented development (TOD)

, 2017
The assessment of TOD regarding cycling infrastructure is commonly looked at in combination with pedestrian networks. However, we argue that these are different in nature and scale. Exploring specific indicators would then contribute to a more thorough evaluation of the extent to which a TOD environment is cyclable (or walkable).
