New recommendations on motor vehicle safety for child passengers.
Despite significant reductions in the number of children killed in motor vehicle crashes over the past decade, these crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for children and adolescents older than three years in the United States.1 In 2010, more than 4,000 children and adolescents younger than 21 years died in motor vehicle crashes,2 and an additional 600,000 were injured.1 Promoting ...
متن کاملInterpreting Sustainability for Urban Forests
Incisive interpretations of urban-forest sustainability are important in furthering our understanding of how to sustain the myriad values associated with urban forests. Our analysis of earlier interpretations reveals conceptual gaps. These interpretations are attached to restrictive definitions of a sustainable urban forest and limited to a rather mechanical view of maintaining the biophysical ...
متن کاملUrban sprawl as a risk factor in motor vehicle crashes
A decade ago, compactness/sprawl indices were developed for metropolitan areas and counties which have been widely used in health and other research. In this study, we first update the original county index to 2010, then develop a refined index that accounts for more relevant factors, and finally seek to test the relationship between sprawl and traffic crash rates using structural equation mode...
متن کاملLead loading of urban streets by motor vehicle wheel weights.
This study documents that lead weights, which are used to balance motor vehicle wheels, are lost and deposited in urban streets, that they accumulate along the outer curb, and that they are rapidly abraded and ground into tiny pieces by vehicle traffic. The lead is so soft that half the lead deposited in the street is no longer visible after little more than 1 week. This lead loading of urban s...
متن کاملCapacitated Vehicle Routing with Non-uniform Speeds
The capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) [TV02] involves distributing (identical) items from a depot to a set of demand locations, using a single capacitated vehicle. We study a generalization of this problem to the setting of multiple vehicles having non-uniform speeds (that we call Heterogenous CVRP), and present a constant-factor approximation algorithm. The technical heart of our resu...
