Community gardens are viewed as a potentially useful environmental change strategy to promote active and healthy lifestyles but the scientific evidence base for gardens is limited. As a step towards understanding whether gardens are a viable health promotion strategy for local communities, we set out to examine the social processes that might explain the connection between gardens, garden parti...

This article describes results from an investigation of the health impacts of community gardening, using Toronto, Ontario as a case study. According to community members and local service organizations, these gardens have a number of positive health benefits. However, few studies have explicitly focused on the health impacts of community gardens, and many of those did not ask community gardener...

This paper proposes an option pricing technique we developed to approximate hedge jump risk under a CEV jumpdiffusion model. First, we established the options pricing model and the its partial differential equation by applying the Itô formula and non-arbitrage principle based on approximating hedge jump risk approximation; we next developed the concrete numerical algorithm for the equation by s...

Applying braided Yang–Baxter equation quantum integrable and Bethe ansatz solvable 1D anyonic lattice and field models are constructed. Along with known models we discover novel lattice anyonic and q-anyonic models as well as nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) and the derivative NLS quantum field models involving anyonic operators, N -particle sectors of which yield the well known anyon gases...

in this paper, first a new homotopy perturbation method for solving a fractional order nonlinear telegraph equation is introduced. by applying the proposed method, the nonlinear equation is translated to linear equations for per iteration of homotopy perturbation method. then, the obtained problems are solved with separation method. in the examples, it is illustrated that the exact solution is ...
