A characterization of the Schechter essential spectrum on Banach spaces and applications
No full textAbstractIn a recent article by the author (C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sér. I 331 (2000) 525–530; Boll. Un. Mat. Ital. (2002), to appear) the Schechter spectrum of closed, densely defined linear operators has been characterized on spaces, which possess the Dunford–Pettis property or which are isomorphic to one of the spaces Lp(Ω), p>1. The purpose of the present work is to extend this analysis to the case of Banach spaces. Further we apply the obtained results to investigate the Schechter essential spectrum of one-dimensional transport equations with different boundary conditions
Income Inequality and Infant Mortality in New York City
No full textA series of studies have demonstrated that people who live in regions where there are disparities in income have poorer average health status than people who live in more economically homogeneous regions. To test whether such disparities might explain health variations within urban areas, we examined the possible association between income inequality and infant mortality for zip code regions within New York City using data from the 1990 census and the New York City Department of Health. Both infant mortality and income inequality (percentage of income received by the poorest 50% of households) varied widely across these regions (range in infant mortality: 0.6-29.611,000 live births; range in income inequality: 12.7-27.3). An increase of one standard deviation in income inequality was associated with an increase of 0.80 deaths/1,000 live births (P < .001), controlling for other socioeconomic factors. This finding has important implications for public health practice and social epidemiological research in large urban areas, which face significant disparities both in health and in social and economic conditions

Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD)
No full textIntroductionFew studies have assessed how people\u2019s perceptions of their neighborhood environment compare with objective measures or how self-reported and objective neighborhood measures relate to consumption of fruits and vegetables.MethodsA telephone survey of 4,399 residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, provided data on individuals, their households, their neighborhoods (self-defined), their food-environment perceptions, and their fruit-and-vegetable consumption. Other data on neighborhoods (census tracts) or \u201cextended neighborhoods\u201d (census tracts plus 1-quarter\u2013mile buffers) came from the US Census Bureau, the Philadelphia Police Department, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, and the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Mixed-effects multilevel logistic regression models examined associations between food-environment perceptions, fruit-and-vegetable consumption, and individual, household, and neighborhood characteristics.ResultsPerceptions of neighborhood food environments (supermarket accessibility, produce availability, and grocery quality) were strongly associated with each other but not consistently or significantly associated with objective neighborhood measures or self-reported fruit-and-vegetable consumption. We found racial and educational disparities in fruit-and-vegetable consumption, even after adjusting for food-environment perceptions and individual, household, and neighborhood characteristics. Having a supermarket in the extended neighborhood was associated with better perceived supermarket access (adjusted odds ratio for having a conventional supermarket, 2.04 [95% CI, 1.68\u20132.46]; adjusted odds ratio for having a limited-assortment supermarket, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.02\u20131.59]) but not increased fruit-and-vegetable consumption. Models showed some counterintuitive associations with neighborhood crime and public transportation.ConclusionWe found limited association between objective and self-reported neighborhood measures. Sociodemographic differences in individual fruit-and-vegetable consumption were evident regardless of neighborhood environment. Adding supermarkets to urban neighborhoods might improve residents\u2019 perceptions of supermarket accessibility but might not increase their fruit-and-vegetable consumption
