"This paper examines the urban growth of 33 small and intermediate Korean cities during 1975-1980 from the ecological perspective. Using the multiple regression analysis, population growth of a city is measured by variables such as industrial structure, distance from a metropolitan city, and educational level of residents in a corresponding city. At the present development stage in Korea, tho...

The striate cortex of macaque monkeys contains an array of patches which stain heavily for the enzyme cytochrome oxidase (CO blobs). Cells inside and outside these blobs are often described as belonging to two distinct populations or streams. In order to better understand the function of the CO blobs, we measured the contrast sensitivity and spatial frequency response of single neurons in and a...

OBJECTIVES We designed and evaluated interventions to increase adult immunizations within inner-city health centers. METHODS Interventions included reminders, standing orders, and walk-in "flu shot clinics." Patients were surveyed and records evaluated. RESULTS Records from 1 center showed that immunization rates increased from 24% to 30% (P <.001) for patients aged 50 to 64 years and from ...

Light absorption coefficients of black carbon ( abs B ) were measured at several urban and industrial locations in Jordan during the summer of 2007 and the winter of 2008 using the photoacoustic instrument at a wavelength of 870 nm. Black carbon mass concentration (BC) was calculated using abs B . Black carbon levels at urban locations in the summer of 2007 were higher than those obtained at in...

In this paper we analyse the profile of land use and population density with respect to the distance to the city centre for the European city. In addition to providing the radial population density and soil-sealing profiles for a large set of cities, we demonstrate a remarkable constancy of the profiles across city size. Our analysis combines the GMES/Copernicus Urban Atlas 2006 land use databa...
