The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and spatial metrics aimed at improving the analysis and modeling of urban growth and land use change. While remote sensing data have been used in urban modeling and analysis for some time, the proposed combination of remote sensing and spatial metrics for that purpose is quite novel. Starting with a review of recent developments in each of...

This paper describes the research studies on the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program which have relevance to corrections and to crime prevention in urban communities. Physiological and psychological laboratory studies of the TM program which bear on criminal rehabilitation are briefly reviewed, followed by consideration of applied studies. Eight research projects in six correctional settings...

Estimating flood risks and managing disasters combines knowledge in climatology, meteorology, hydrology, hydraulic engineering, statistics, planning and geography – thus a complex multi-faceted problem. This study focuses on the capabilities of multi-source remote sensing data to support decision-making before, during and after a flood event. With our focus on urbanized areas, sample methods an...

the situation of people with disabilities in the developing countries should be a matter of great concern. there are today close to 250 million severely and moderately disabled persons in these countries; the annual increase is 10 million. most of them are poor, dependent neglected, excluded from education, training and jobs; they die early and have no power while alive. between 15 and 20% of a...

A nurse residency program's best practice recommendations are presented within this article and are organized around three processes: establishing the program infrastructure, creating a multistaged evidence-based program, and sustaining the program through appropriate evaluation and dissemination of results. These recommendations represent lessons learned and key findings derived from a team of...
