Pre-filed testimony in support of the ten persons group by Nathan G. Phillips
(MassDEP file room, 2019-05-25)I have two interrelated technical concerns with the Enbridge Model used by MassDEP to grant the air permit for the proposed Weymouth, which invalidate the air permit. I state these immediately below and elaborate on them ... -
Geographically weighted regression models in estimating median home prices in towns of Massachusetts based on an urban sustainability framework
(MDPI, 2018-04-01)Housing is a key component of urban sustainability. The objective of this study was to assess the significance of key spatial determinants of median home price in towns in Massachusetts that impact sustainable growth. Our ... -
Characterizing urban landscapes using fuzzy sets
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016-05-01)Characterizing urban landscapes is important given the present and future projections of global population that favor urban growth. The definition of “urban” on a thematic map has proven to be problematic since urban areas ... -
Evaluation of neural network pattern classifiers for a remote sensing application
(1995)This paper evaluates the classification accuracy of three neural network classifiers on a satellite image-based pattern classification problem. The neural network classifiers used include two types of the Multi-Layer-Perceptron ... -
Seeing the invisible: from imagined to virtual urban landscapes
(Elsevier BV, 2020-03)Urban ecosystems consist of infrastructure features working together to provide services for inhabitants. Infrastructure functions akin to an ecosystem, having dynamic relationships and interdependencies. However, with ... -
Effects of warming temperatures on winning times in the Boston Marathon
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2012-09-26)It is not known whether global warming will affect winning times in endurance events, and counterbalance improvements in race performances that have occurred over the past century. We examined a time series (1933–2004) ... -
Characterizing the spatial determinants and prevention of malaria in Kenya
(2019-12-12)The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 3 is to ensure health and well-being for all at all ages with a specific target to end malaria by 2030. Aligned with this goal, the primary objective of this study is to ... -
Soil warming accelerates biogeochemical silica cycling in a temperate forest
(2019)Biological cycling of silica plays an important role in terrestrial primary production. Soil warming stemming from climate change can alter the cycling of elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, in forested ecosystems. ... -
Targeting extreme events: complementing near-term ecological forecasting with rapid experiments and regional surveys
Ecologists are improving predictive capability using near-term ecological forecasts, in which predictions are made iteratively and publically to increase transparency, rate of learning, and maximize utility. Ongoing ...
