A social-ecological perspective on health in urban environments.
Human health in our cities is an expression of complex social and environmental interactions not previously faced in our long evolutionary history. In this paper, we present a social-ecological perspective on the complex nature of emerging public health problems in cities and identify some of the research questions emerging from this new view of the city. We argue that an integrative urban scie...
متن کاملSubstrate Selectivity APPLies to Akt
The protein kinase Akt occupies a central position in multiple signaling pathways. Although numerous Akt substrates have been identified, less is known about the factors that regulate specific cellular responses to Akt signaling. In this issue, Schenck et al. (2008) demonstrate that the endosomal protein Appl1 modulates Akt's substrate selectivity to promote cell survival during zebrafish devel...
متن کاملEcological Design of Urban Landscape
Paying attention to the spatial placement of the elements (man-made or natural) based on the landscape pattern and ecological processes in urban design would have a considerable impact on both human and the nature. In a way that the discords in the placement of patchs in respect to each other, or in respect to visual corridors and urban matrixes lead to the unwanted results in the cities. The e...
متن کاملThe EcoData Retriever: Improving Access to Existing Ecological Data
Ecological research relies increasingly on the use of previously collected data. Use of existing datasets allows questions to be addressed more quickly, more generally, and at larger scales than would otherwise be possible. As a result of large-scale data collection efforts, and an increasing emphasis on data publication by journals and funding agencies, a large and ever-increasing amount of ec...
متن کاملExtending Existing Dependency Theory to Temporal Databases
Normal forms play a central role in the design of relational databases. Several normal forms for temporal relational databases have been proposed. These definitions are particular to specific temporal data models, which are numerous and incompatible. This paper attempts to rectify this situation. We define a consistent framework of temporal equivalents of the important conventional database des...
