Factors Affecting Bowhunter Access in Suburban Areas

Access to private lands for hunting has been implicated as one factor affecting management of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations, especially in urban–suburban communities.

We surveyed bowhunter...

Outside and Inside Noise Exposure in Urban and Suburban Areas

-In urban and suburban areas of the United States (away from major airports), the outdoor noise environment usually depends strongly on local vehicular traffic. By relating traffic flow to population density, a model of outdoor noise exposure has been developed for estimating the cumulative 24-hour noise exposure based upon the population density of the area. This noise model has been used to p...

Such integration can boost system efficiency and performance by finely modulating how traffic enters and traverses the infrastructure. But fully realizing its benefits require...
