Abstract:
... Previously, we found increased rates of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) associated with increased ultrafine particle (UFP; <100 nm) concentrations in the previous few hours in Rochester, New York. Relative rates were higher after air quality policies and a recession reduced pollutant concentrations (2014–2016 versus 2005–2013), suggesting PM composition had changed and the same PM mass ...
... This essay contributes to work in media geography by bringing the geography of nostalgia into conversation with media nostalgia. Through an analysis of Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s text, intertextual discourses, location production, and tourism, I demonstrate how TV works to produce nostalgic attachments to places past, intervening materially into the present/future. Specifically, I argue ...
... On farms, power take-off (PTO) drivelines pose serious risks in terms of both fatal and non-fatal injuries. PTO shielding can prevent such injuries; however, is often underutilized by the farm population. This study aims assesses seven influence campaigns and their ability to change attitudes toward PTO shielding in order to encourage sustainable behavior change. Seven strategies based on common p ...
... Highly destructive disasters such as floods and power outages (PO) are becoming more commonplace in the U.S. Few studies examine the effects of floods and PO on health, and no studies examine the synergistic effects of PO and floods, which are increasingly co-occurring events. We examined the independent and synergistic impacts of PO and floods on cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory disea ...
... This study examines the effectiveness of a public service announcement (PSA) video designed based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in motivating people to engage in proper recycling. Based on a representative sample of New York State residents (N = 707), survey results show that all three TPB variables are significant predictors of recycling intention. The PSA video increases recycling inte ...

Abstract:
... A previously described but unnamed hybrid of Geum aleppicum and G. canadense is reported from central New York, Vermont, and southern Ontario. Wild plants were compared to a cultivated plant and all exhibited traits intermediate in characters between the parent species. Comparative analysis of floral characters showed little relationship to Geum virginianum, as previously proposed. The hybrid is a ...

Abstract:
... Snacking contributes significantly to U.S. adolescents’ dietary intake and is a particularly significant eating occasion for urban adolescents, who have high amounts of food autonomy and access to corner stores. Consequently, research has focused on understanding and improving snacking among urban adolescents. However, the word “snack” possesses several definitions in the literature, leading to in ...
NewYork, etc ; accountability; air quality; particulates; pollution; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... In the past several decades, a variety of efforts have been made in the United States to improve air quality, and ambient particulate matter (PM) concentrations have been used as a metric to evaluate the efficacy of environmental policies. However, ambient PM concentrations result from a combination of source emission rates and meteorological conditions, which also change over time. Dispersion nor ...

Abstract:
... Low-income households in the United States experience higher than average energy burdens (defined as the proportion of household income spent on energy utilities), and many of these households struggle to simultaneously pay for rent, energy, and basic household necessities. The analysis presented here examines whether the underlying characteristics of buildings and their energy systems could contr ...

Abstract:
... This study extends the earlier literature on changes in school enrollment in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic by using data for the second COVID-19 school year (2021–2022) from the state of New York. Contrary to expectations that the resumption of fully-live instruction would reverse the first COVID-19 year’s declines in public school enrollment, we find that enrollment continued to drop sharply ...

Abstract:
... Decisions on how to manage future flood risks are frequently informed by both sophisticated and computationally expensive models. This complexity often limits the representation of uncertainties and the consideration of strategies. Here we use an intermediate complexity model framework that enables us to analyze a richer set of strategies, a wider range of objectives, and greater levels of uncerta ...

Abstract:
... Abel Ferrara’s 1990 film King of New York, and specifically the film’s transgressive use of The Plaza Hotel, presents a unique way to see the restructuring of the social and economic order via Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory. Contextualizing the New York City landscape as a personification of a capitalist social and economic order from which its characters have literally and metaphorically profited ...

Abstract:
... Predictive models based on mobile measurements have been increasingly used to understand the spatiotemporal variations of intraurban air quality. However, the effects of meteorological factors, which significantly affect the dispersion of air pollution, on the urban-form–air-quality relationship have not been understood on a granular level. We attempt to fill this gap by developing predictive mode ...

Abstract:
... In recent years, communities invested in transformative food politics in the United States have seen the framework food justice become widely accepted as a core framework for anti-racist practice. Critical food scholars often recognize food justice in practices that: underwrite coalitions and solidarities across difference, tend to collective and historical trauma, and expand land-based political ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The hematological phenotype and genotype analysis of hemoglobin New York (Hb New York) combined with α or β thalassemia has been rarely reported, and whether there is any effect of Hb New York on thalassemia has not been well explored. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, peripheral blood samples from 346 Hb New York carriers were collected for blood cell parameter analysis. When compar ...

Three major retail markets of Arabica and Robusta coffee in India namely Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and two international markets New York for Arabica and London for Robusta were selected for the study.

Abstract:
... Food waste is a growing global issue with widespread environmental, economic, and social impacts. Households are both a major driver of waste generation and a key enabler of solutions such as source reduction and composting. In the U.S., household food waste is still predominantly landfilled, motivating this study to understand the beliefs, experiences, and barriers that individuals face when deci ...

Abstract:
... Kevin Lynch’s Image of the City is central to film studies, where cognitive mapping is often used to position screen depictions of cities in terms of genre affiliation, urban development, and subject formation. However, Lynch’s model affirms that to image the city is to possess it, and that representation is an activity undertaken by human observers of a place rather than integral to places themse ...

Abstract:
... In this article we study the efficacy of vaccination in epidemiological reconstructions of COVID-19 epidemics from reported cases data. Given an epidemiological model, we developed in previous studies a method that allowed the computation of an instantaneous transmission rate that produced an exact fit of reported cases data of the COVID-19 outbreak. In this article, we improve the method by incor ...

Abstract:
... Woodland management is critical for ensuring forests are sustainably managed, yet few forest landowners have management plans and are often unsure of where to turn for advice. In New York State, the Master Forest Owner (MFO) Volunteer program provides free support from trained volunteers, however participation in the program has declined since 2012. To encourage engagement with the program, we pil ...
