PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to characterize the proximity of primary care and behavioral health service delivery sites in the United States and factors influencing their colocation. METHODS We geocoded the practice addresses of primary care and behavioral health providers found in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' National Plan and Provider Enumeration System Downloadabl...

In euryarchaeal methanogen M.kandleri and in Nanoarchaea N. equitans some of the missing tRNA genes are embedded in others. We argue from bioinformatic evidence that position specific intron splicing is the key behind colocation of these tRNA genes.

Virtual models are a common instructional tool used in chemistry education to help students learn about the 3D structure of molecules. The present study examined effects of two interface design features on participant performance during a molecule orientation task. The features examined were 1) colocation of the visual and haptic workspace and 2) stereoscopic viewing. The results indicate that ...

Unless the content requested by an ISP’s customer is served from within that ISP (e.g., ISP-owned or third party-provided cache servers), the resulting traffic will be affected by the conditions of the network interconnections or peering links that this traffic experiences en route from where the content is available to where it is consumed, impacting application-level performance and customer-...

This paper proposes a novel framework for mining regional colocation patterns with respect to sets of continuous variables in spatial datasets. The goal is to identify regions in which multiple continuous variables with values from the wings of their statistical distribution are co-located. A co-location mining framework is introduced that operates in the continuous domain without the need for ...

In this paper we investigate the problem of processing multiway interval joins on map-reduce platform. We look at join queries formed by interval predicates as defined by Allen’s interval algebra. These predicates can be classified in two groups: colocation based predicates and sequence based predicates. A colocation predicate requires two intervals to share at least one common point while a se...

This paper describes and analyses distinct patterns of 'governance conversation' observed in interactions on a discussion list that aims to support local, direct, governance in a geographically colocated community in South Africa. Although each pattern relates to governance, making 'binding decisions', which has been seen as a key attribute of deliberative democratic processes, is almost entire...

People living in urban areas spend a considerable amount of time on public transport. During these periods, opportunities for inter-personal networking present themselves, as many of us now carry electronic devices equipped with Bluetooth or other wireless capabilities. Using these devices, individuals can share content (e.g., music, news or video clips) with fellow travellers that happen to be...
