Measuring urban sprawl of small and medium towns using GIS and remote sensing techniques: A case study of Sri Lanka

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2021
The measuring of urban sprawl is a challenging task, as it does not have a clear universal method. Therefore, it is worthwhile to investigate whether results differ with the methods utilized, to compute the level of urban sprawl.

Measuring the urban sprawl based on economic-dominated perspective: the case of 31 municipalities and provincial capitals

Geo-spatial Information Science
Accurate measurement of urban sprawl is vital for urban planning and management. Urban planning-induced internal structure complexity affects the extent of urban sprawl. In addition, urban sprawl is closely linked to economic development.

Negotiating contested spaces and places: Narratives of social suffering and resistance in racialized Cape Town communities

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.

Establishment of pediatric reference ranges for circulating naïve and memory T and B cell subsets guided by the human immunophenotyping consortium standardization initiative: A large, single center U.S. experience

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of the immune system continues to expand at a rapid pace, and this coupled with technological advances now enables us to interrogate both the breadth and the depth of the immune response at levels without precedent. This has also facilitated rapidly integrating some of this carefully vetted knowledge into clinical practice ...
