Circular urbanism
As cities race to meet climate targets, embodied carbon—the greenhouse gas emissions embedded in building materials and construction—has emerged as a critical yet underexplored dimension of urban sustainability. This study presents a scalable, data-driven framework based on urban-scale building stock virtual twins for the first time, optimizing embodied carbon across diverse urban areas in the United States. Using a bottom-up, archetype-based mod…
Intersecting Paths to Health
Public health is the basis of society's well-being and the nation's development. Despite the importance of this factor and huge investments in the health sector in the United States, public health is facing enormous challenges due to the unknown nature of the influential variables in this sector. This research aims to investigate the influential variables on public health from different sources including the demographic features, built environmen…
A MaxEnt predictive model for palaeontological sites in the Siwalik Hills
This study presents application of the MaxEnt predictive model to identify potential palaeontological sites in the Siwalik Hills, focusing on the Pinjor Formation near Chandigarh, northern India. The Siwalik region holds rich vertebrate palaeontological records, yet lacks comprehensive site prediction models. This research employs MaxEnt (3.4.0) software, to predict areas suitable for fossil occurrences. Georeferenced presence data was derived fr…

Mulch Madness
Community-academic partnerships are an effective tool for lead poisoning prevention, generating evidence for public health action
Mulch Madness
Background: Soil constitutes a major source of childhood lead exposure, disproportionately affecting communities of color. Mulching offers a low-cost interim control. Objectives: A community–academic partnership was established for lead poisoning prevention, with a three-fold aim: (1) control soil lead hazards by applying mulch, (2) identify home lead hazards with screening kits, and (3) connect residents to resources to address lead hazards. Met…
A new Aurignacian engraving from Abri Blanchard, France
Context and dating of Aurignacian vulvar representations from Abri Castanet, France
We report here on the 2007 discovery, in perfect archaeological context, of part of the engraved and ocre-stained undersurface of the collapsed rockshelter ceiling from Abri Castanet, Dordogne, France. The decorated surface of the 1.5-t roof-collapse block was in direct contact with the exposed archaeological surface onto which it fell. Because there was no sedimentation between the engraved surface and the archaeological layer upon which it coll…
Une nouvelle découverte d’art pariétal aurignacien in situ à l’abri Castanet (Dordogne, France)
En 2007, un fragment de voûte ornée a été découvert, sur le site de l’abri Castanet (commune de Sergeac, Dordogne) lors des opérations archéologiques ce qui n’était plus arrivé depuis 1912 (fouilles de M. Castanet pour L. Didon). La face profondément gravée et peinte de ce bloc d’effondrement, pesant plus d’une tonne, était en contact direct avec la couche archéologique aurignacienne. Une série de six datations par 14C AMS (par filtration molécul…
Context and dating of newly discovered Aurignacian rock art from Abri Castanet (Dordogne, France)
In this paper we report on the discovery in 2007 in archaeological context, of part of the engraved and ocher-stained undersurface of the rockshelter ceiling from Abri Castanet, Commune de Sergeac, Dordogne. The engraved/painted undersurface of the massive roof-collapse block, weighing more than a ton, was in direct contact with the surface of the early Aurignacian archaeological layer onto which it had fallen. A series of six molecular filtratio…
The African Origin of Complex Projectile Technology
Despite a body of literature focusing on the functionality of modern and stylistically distinct projectile points, comparatively little attention has been paid to quantifying the functionality of the early stages of projectile use. Previous work identified a simple ballistics measure, the Tip Cross-Sectional Area, as a way of determining if a given class of stone points could have served as effective projectile armatures. Here we use this in comb…
