Water-Price Differential and the Efficient Population Size and Urban-Rural Composition of a Distant, Large, Arid Island [PDF]

A low population density and a large distance from civilization centres present a high degree of isolation to the island's residents. Immigration can reduce the mental and material costs of isolation for the veteran residents, but at the expense of ...

Next Generation Antimicrobial Coatings for High Touch Surfaces: Application, Benefits, Risks, Environmental Impacts and Sustainability Aspects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial coatings for high touch surfaces promise infection control but are too often validated only in the lab. This review shows that active‐agent release governs both human toxicity and environmental impact and argues that durability and real‐world performance must be primary design criteria, placing a safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework ...

Levels and Determinants of Self-Reported STIs among Men in India: Evidence from National Family Health Surveys

Discover Public Health
Introduction Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Despite the availability of nationally representative data, evidence on self-reported STIs (SR-STIs) among men in India ...

Procedural urban modeling of population, road network and land use

, 2015
This paper introduces an urban simulation system generating urban layouts with population, road network and land use layers. The desired urban spatial structure is obtained by generating population map based on population density models. The road network

Interactions between people and birds in urban landscapes [PDF]

, 2012
A large body of work over the past few decades has revealed the manifestly dramatic impacts of urbanization on species’ distributions and ecologies, many of which result from gross changes in land use and configuration.

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.
