Modeling spatiotemporal variability of intra-urban air pollutants in Detroit: A pragmatic approach

Land use regression modeling of intra-urban residential variability in multiple traffic-related air pollutants

BACKGROUND There is a growing body of literature linking GIS-based measures of traffic density to asthma and other respiratory outcomes. However, no consensus exists on which traffic indicators best capture variability in different pollutants or within different settings. As part of a study on childhood asthma etiology, we examined variability in outdoor concentrations of multiple traffic-relat...

Intraurban Spatiotemporal Variability of Ambient Air Pollutants across Metropolitan St. Louis

Statistical trend analysis and forecast modeling of air pollutants

The study provides a statistical trend analysis of different air pollutants using Mann-Kendall and Sen’s slope estimator approach on past pollutants statistics from air quality index station of Varanasi, India. Further, using autoregressive integrated moving average model, future values of air pollutant levels are predicted. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, particu...

p-Causality: Identifying Spatiotemporal Causal Pathways for Air Pollutants with Urban Big Data

Many countries are suffering from severe air pollution. Understanding how different air pollutants accumulate and propagate is critical to making relevant public policies. In this paper, we use urban big data (air quality data and meteorological data) to identify the spatiotemporal (ST) causal pathways for air pollutants. This problem is challenging because: (1) there are numerous noisy and low...

Intra-dialytic exercise training: a pragmatic approach.

UNLABELLED This continuing education paper outlines the skills and knowledge required to plan, implement and evaluate a pragmatic approach to intra-dialytic exercise training. AIM The aim of this continuing education article is to enable the nephrology multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to plan, implement and evaluate the provision of intra-dialytic exercise training for patients receiving haemodi...
