The top-down-bottom-up approach: a Mobility Program Indicators Development Framework (MPIDF)

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Impact evaluation is frequently used to assess the long-term effects of urban mobility programs and projects. However, there are no specific guidelines for selecting mobility-related evaluation indicators. Typically, indicators for program evaluation are

Urban Structure and Environmental Externalities [PDF]

Environmental and Resource Economics, 2017
The objective of this paper is to analyze policy design for air pollution management in the spatial context of urban development. We base our analysis on the paper of Ogawa and Fujita (1982), which o ers a proper theoretical framework of non-monocentric urban land use using static microeconomic theory where the city structure is endogenous.

Re‐Awakening Public Attention to the Silent Pandemic of Cancer Among Older Adults in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global populations age, cancer is increasingly becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Despite accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths, older individuals remain underrepresented in cancer research, clinical guidelines, and health ...

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...
