Using ArcGIS to Analyze the Effects of Community Characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our paper and presentation will describe how we used ArcGIS to manage multiple sources data and to derive quantitative measures of neighborhood level characteristics for six study sites around the US. Some of the neighborhood characteristics include proximity to recreational facilities, street connectivity, population density, crime, mass transit, neighborhood SES, neighborhood terrain, and land use mix. The study will analyze community impacts on individual physical activity using multilevel modeling techniques combined with spatial auto-regressive methods.

In this paper, a new method for mineral boundary detection is proposed using a model prepared in ArcGIS ModelBuilder tool. Required data for this method are gray scale images taken from petrographic thin sections. The images are captured in 19 numbers through 90° polarizers and lambda plate rotation with 5° intervals while the microscope table is fixed. Mineral boundaries are detected using the...

Community Level Physiological Profiles (CLPP) is novel method to evaluate microbial activity and diversity in ecosystems. According to the previous findings, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a bio-control product, increases bacterial diversity in some aquatic animals. In this study, the effects of four experimental diets (control, combination of two PHB degrading bacteria, 2% PHB, bacteria+ 2% P...
متن کاملTransition Models for Analyzing Longitudinal Data with Bivariate Mixed Ordinal and Nominal Responses
In many longitudinal studies, nominal and ordinal mixed bivariate responses are measured. In these studies, the aim is to investigate the effects of explanatory variables on these time-related responses. A regression analysis for these types of data must allow for the correlation among responses during the time. To analyze such ordinal-nominal responses, using a proposed weighting approach, an ...
