In this short communication, we examine how agent-based modeling has become common in land change science and is increasingly used to develop case studies for particular times places. There a danger that the research community missing prime opportunity learn broader lessons from use of (ABM), or at very least not sharing these more widely. How do find an appropriate balance between empirically rich, realistic models simpler theoretically grounded models? What are effective approaches model...
Negligence of former industrial sites (“brownfields”) has adversely impacted urban landscapes throughout the industrialized world. Brownfield redevelopment recently emerged as a sustainable land use strategy and impetus for revitalization. This study presents system dynamics model process that illustrates how delays compound before realizing financial benefits from investment in these core areas. We construct dynamic hypothesis, which brownfield activities are dependent upon funding turn...
In both developed and developing countries, population aging has attained unprecedented levels. Public health strategies to deliver services in community-based settings are key enhancing the utilization of preventive care reducing costs for this segment population. Motivated by concerns inadequate access oral older adults urban environments, article presents a portfolio systems science models that have been on basis observations from ElderSmile screening program operated northern Manhattan,...
One of the enduring lessons cities is essential relationship between grey infrastructure (e.g., streets and buildings) green parks open spaces).The design management natural resources to enhance human health well-being may be traced back thousands years earliest urban civilizations.From irrigation projects Indus Valley aqueducts Roman Empire integrated systems landscaped street trees in contemporary times, humans have sought harness capacity nature advance city life.This article presents a...
Despite a body of evidence on racial/ethnic minority enrollment and retention in research, literature specifically focused recruiting racially/ethnically diverse older adults for social science studies is limited. There need more rigorous research methodological issues the efficacy recruitment methods. Cultural obstacles to include language barriers, lack cultural sensitivity target communities part researchers, culturally inappropriate assessment tools. Guided by Consolidated Framework...
Abstract Objectives: As part of ongoing efforts by the Columbia University College Dental Medicine to devise community‐based models health promotion and care for local residents, we sought answer following query: “What contributes self‐rated oral among community‐dwelling older adults?” Methods: The present study is cross sectional in design centrally concerned with baseline data collected during screenings adults aged 50 years who agreed participate ElderSmile program northern Manhattan, New...
Abstract The problem of invasive species spread requires timely analysis the biological dynamics that lead to spatial dispersion. Here, a dynamic model captures behavior recently introduced emerald ash borer (EAB) ( Agrilus planipennis ) and its impacts on host Fraxinus spp.) trees. Parasite–host system are extended spatially using Spatial Modeling Environment. resulting can serve as repository for changing knowledge about EAB biology behavior. Studies rapid infestation in Michigan used...
Objectives. We explored the interrelationships among diabetes, hypertension, and missing teeth underserved racial/ethnic minority elders. Methods. Self-reported sociodemographic characteristics information about health care were provided by community-dwelling ElderSmile participants, aged 50 years older, who took part in community-based oral education completed a screening questionnaire at senior centers Manhattan, New York, from 2010 to 2012. Results. Multivariable models (both binary...
In New York City, the population of Chinese Americans has grown faster than that any other minority racial/ethnic group, and now this community constitutes almost half all living in northeastern United States. Nonetheless, scant research attention been given to American ethnic enclaves little is known about health status their residents. This study aims help address gap literature by: (1) improving our understanding spatial settlement City from 2000 2016; (2) assessing associations between a...
