متن کاملInvestigating "Locality" of Intra-Urban Spatial Interactions in New York City Using Foursquare Data

Although the impact of high temperatures on mortality has been a subject of extensive research, few previous studies have assessed the impact of population adaptation to heat. METHODS We examined adaptation patterns by analyzing daily temperature and mortality data spanning more than a century in New York City. U...
