EXPERIMENTAL STUDY TO ASSESS ALTERNATIVE SUPPORTS FOR EXTENSIVELY DETERIORATED WOODEN ICONS

Multidimensional Icons : an alternative to choropleths for epidemiological data

In our information rich world tools that enable users to work with large data sets are becomingly increasingly important. Empidemiologists, for example, need to work with geographic representations of data to determine trends related to disease spread. The traditional manner of visualizing this data is with map based choropleth displays. Choropleths, however, have several limitations in that th...

Considerations for Using a Geographic Information System to Assess Environmental Supports for Physical Activity

The use of a geographic information system (GIS) to study environmental supports for physical activity raises several issues, including acquisition and development, quality, and analysis. We recommend to public health professionals interested in using GIS that they investigate available data, plan for data development where none exists, ensure the availability of trained personnel and sufficien...

Potential contribution of fish restocking to the recovery of deteriorated coral reefs: an alternative restoration method?

Counteracting the worldwide trend of coral reef degeneration is a major challenge for the scientific community. A crucial management approach to minimizing stress effects on healthy reefs and helping the recovery of disturbed reefs is reef protection. However, the current rapid decline of the world's reefs suggests that protection might be insufficient as a viable stand-alone management approac...
