How do variations in Urban Heat Islands in space and time influence household water use? The case of Phoenix, Arizona
No full textabstract: This paper explores how urbanization, through its role in the evolution of Urban Heat Island (UHI), affects residential water consumption. Using longitudinal data and drawing on a mesoscale atmospheric model, we examine how variations in surface temperature at the census tract level have affected water use in single family residences in Phoenix, Arizona. Results show that each Fahrenheit rise in nighttime temperature increases water consumption by 1.4%. This temperature effect is found to vary significantly with lot size and pool size. The study provides insights into the links between urban form and water use, through the dynamics of UHI.Corresponding Author:

Recent advances in preventing neurodegenerative diseases
No full textThe worldwide health-care burden of neurodegenerative diseases is on the rise—a crisis created through a combination of increased caseload and lack of effective treatments. The limitations of pharmacotherapy in these disorders have led to an urgent shift toward research and clinical trials for the development of novel compounds, interventions, and methods that target shared features across the spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases. Research targets include neuronal cell death, mitochondrial dysfunction, protein aggregation, and neuroinflammation. In the past few years, there has been a growth in understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease. This increase in knowledge has led to the discovery of numerous novel neuroprotective therapeutic targets. In this context, we reviewed and summarized recent advancements in neuroprotective strategies in neurodegenerative diseases.

No full text199— Socioeconomic Status and Child Death in 19th Century Rochester, New York
No full textSocioeconomic status, or SES, is the measure of one’s individual/familial social and economic position in society in relation to others. The higher one’s SES, the better their financial and social standing and, consequently, the better chance for a healthy and long life. This was especially the case for infants and children in the 19th century, when the United States lacked social safety net programs. During the latter part of the 19th century, deaths in urban areas like Rochester increased, due to growing populations and reduced sanitation. This study focuses on the correlation between socioeconomic status and the death of children from birth into childhood, in 19th century Rochester, through an analysis of death records from Mt. Hope Cemetery and census records. By looking at the correlation between death rates and social status, it is predicted that SES played a role in the death rates of children in 19th century Rochester
