OBJECTIVES Racial differences in self-rated health at older ages are well documented. African Americans consistently report poorer health, even when education, income, and other health status indicators are controlled. The extent to which neighborhood-level characteristics mediate this association remains largely unexplored. We ask whether neighborhood social and economic resources help to expl...

I had previously been networking with four neighborhood watch groups in the Rampart area. Wanting to assess the recycling facility's impact on the local community, I developed a questionnaire and distributed it to the groups leaders, who in turn gave it out to their members. Based on the questionnaire's results, the citizens agreed the center and its related problems created a nuisance for the ...

The local binary pattern (LBP) provides a simple and efficient approach to gray-scale and rotation invariant texture classification. However, the LBP operator thresholds P neighbors at the value of the center pixel in a local neighborhood and employs a P-bit binary pattern to encode only the signs of the differences between the gray values. Thus, the LBP operator discards some important texture...

The cluster soft excess emission indicates the presence of large amounts of warm gas (T∼ 10 K) in the neighborhood of galaxy clusters. Among the clusters that display this phenomenon is the Coma cluster, the nearest rich galaxy cluster. The excess emission is more prominent at the cluster’s outskirts than at its center. Detailed studies of its large-scale emission – up to ∼2.6 Mpc from the clus...
