Family-Type Subsistence Incomes

Different family types may have a fixed flow of consumption costs related to subsistence needs. We use a survey approach in order to identify and estimate such a fixed component of spending for different families.

A vital link: water and vegetation in the Anthropocene

This paper argues that the interplay of water, carbon and vegetation dynamics fundamentally links some global trends in the current and conceivable future Anthropocene, such as cropland expansion, freshwater use, and climate change and its impacts. Based on a review of recent literature including geographically explicit simulation studies with the process-based LPJmL global biosphere model, it ...

Vitals are Vital! Visual Vital Metric Detection for Multiple Subjects

Vitals are vital! Patient vitals provide critical information essential to the successful diagnosis and management of patients in every healthcare settings, particularly in the acute-care setting.
