  • Spatial Dynamics and Drivers of Urban Growth in Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam: Insights for Urban Sustainability in the Global South

    Open Access•Olabisi S Badmos, Oluwafemi Michael Odunsi et al.•ARTICLE•ISPRS International Journal of…•2025

    Investigating the historical patterns of urban growth and their drivers is crucial to informing sustainable urban planning policies, especially in cities of the Global South. In Vietnam, most studies focus primarily on city extents, offering little insight into urban growth across various provinces. This study, therefore, combined categorical land use and land cover change detection, Random Forest classification and expert interviews to quantify …

  • Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

    Open Access•Michael Schultz, Leslie Dechurch et al.•ARTICLE•Symbolic Interaction•2025•References: 33

    How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We employ embedded interactions to analyze the case of conflicts between the astronauts and ground…

  • Instructing the Young and Comforting the Aged in the Norwich and Norfolk Institution for the Indigent Blind, ca. 1805–55

    Open Access•Susannah Ottaway, Adam Smart et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of British Studies•2024•References: 2

    This article considers the ways that Enlightenment ideas and practices shaped the founding of the Norwich and Norfolk Institution for the Indigent Blind, and then analyzes the disparate approaches to the aged versus the working-age blind in its first half-century ( ca. 1805–55). While we see change over time, we also find distinctive continuity in the ongoing close connections inmates kept with Norwich civic life and family and friends; this was …

    Open Access•Gur-Arieh, Stefanie Eisenmann et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeological and Anthropological…•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 95

    Tell Kamid el-Loz (Lebanon) was an important Bronze Age urban center that dominated one of the central crossroads of the Ancient Near East, connecting Egypt and the Levant with northern Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Syria, as well as the interior with the Mediterranean coast. However, by the early Iron Age, the site had shrunk to a small rural settlement. Later, in the Iron Age III / Persian-Hellenistic, only enigmatic pits and a large cemetery rema…

    Open Access•Michael Schultz•ARTICLE•Sociological Methods & Research•2024•References: 43

    This paper presents a model of recurrent multinomial sequences. Though there exists a quite considerable literature on modeling autocorrelation in numerical data and sequences of categorical outcomes, there is currently no systematic method of modeling patterns of recurrence in categorical sequences. This paper develops a means of discovering recurrent patterns by employing a more restrictive Markov assumption. The resulting model, which I call t…

  • Private Vehicles Greenhouse Gas Emission Estimation at Street Level for Berlin Based on Open Data

    Open Access•Veit Ulrich, Josephine Brückner et al.•ARTICLE•ISPRS International Journal of…•2023

    As one of the major greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters that has not seen significant emission reductions in the previous decades, the transportation sector requires special attention from policymakers. Policy decisions, thereby need to be supported by traffic emission assessments. Estimations of traffic emissions often rely on huge amounts of actual traffic data whose availability is limited, hampering the transferability of the estimation approaches …

  • Massive periostosis in a child from Neolithic Gebel es-Silsileh, Egypt

    Julia Gresky, Michael Schultz•ARTICLE•Anthropologischer Anzeiger•2023

    In 2015 a surprising find of human bone fragments from a child was made in a collection of the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection, Berlin. These bone fragments from Southern Egypt date to 3400-3300 BC and represent the distal parts of both femora and the proximal parts of both tibiae (bones around the knee joint). The bones have a specific appearance, probably indicating a systemic disease. Due to the incomplete state of the skeletal remains,…

  • The Problem of Underdetermination in Model Selection

    Open Access•Michael Schultz•ARTICLE•Sociological Methodology•2018•References: 29

    Conventional model selection evaluates models on their ability to represent data accurately, ignoring their dependence on theoretical and methodological assumptions. Drawing on the concept of underdetermination from the philosophy of science, the author argues that uncritical use of methodological assumptions can pose a problem for effective inference. By ignoring the plausibility of assumptions, existing techniques select models that are poor re…

  • A moving target: The geographic evolution of Silicon Valley, 1953–1990

    Stephen B Adams, Dustin Chambers et al.•ARTICLE•Business History•2018•References: 26

    This article provides an empirical examination of high-tech firm location data from 1953 to 1990 to show a dramatic shift in geographic centre of what is now called Silicon Valley. Universities (most notably Stanford), venture capital and law firms acted as magnets for divisions of established firms and local start-ups. These institutions combined with the Santa Clara County’s available land to pull the high-tech region’s epicentre south-eastward…

    Open Access•Neil Fligstein, Jonah Stuart Brundage et al.•ARTICLE•American Sociological Review•2017•Cited by: 92•References: 52

    One of the puzzles about the financial crisis of 2008 is why regulators, particularly the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), were so slow to recognize the impending collapse of the financial system and its broader consequences for the economy. We use theory from the literature on culture, cognition, and framing to explain this puzzle. Consistent with recent work on "positive asymmetry," we show how the FOMC generally interpreted discomforting …

  • Is cribra orbitalia synonymous with anemia? Analysis and interpretation of cranial pathology in Sudan

    Open Access•Ulrike Wapler, Éric Crubézy et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2004•Cited by: 71•References: 29

    Cribra orbitalia is a porotic or sieve‐like lesion in the bony orbital roof. Its cause has been the object of research and discussion since the end of the 19th century. Since about 1960, most scientists have started to agree on the hypothesis that the lesion is a result of hypertrophy of the red bone marrow, and therefore is proof of anemia. However, recent investigations showed that in some cases, the histologic bone structure does not support t…

    Open Access•Isabel S Maggiano, Michael Schultz et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2008•Cited by: 32•References: 57

    Xcambó is a Classic period Maya site (250–700 AD) situated on the northern coast of Yucatan, Mexico. Archaeological evidence suggests that the site began as a salt production center but adopted a more administrative role as a commercial port in the Late Classic period. Economic growth, depending on its magnitude, could have affected the daily occupations of Xcambó's inhabitants. However, this is difficult to infer from the archaeological record. …

    Bone is a dynamic tissue, responding locally to differential mechanical loading and systemically to hormonal stimuli. Although the tendency is to consider compact bone a homogenous tissue, regional variations in microarchitecture are known to have quite different properties relating to processes of growth and mechanical loading. Specifically, we investigated an example of microstructural variation of the human, adult femoral endocortex, referred …

  • Mastoiditis—Paleopathological evidence of a rarely reported disease

    Open Access•Flohr, Stefan Flohr et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2009•Cited by: 3•References: 27

    Since antibiotics have become available, mastoiditis has become a rare disease in modern Western societies. However, it is still common in developing countries. It can be hypothesized that in earlier historical and prehistoric times, mastoiditis must have posed a serious threat to people's lives, and that the prevalence of this disease is probably underrepresented in the paleopathological literature. The present study identifies pathological chan…

    Mastoid hypocellularity is frequently used as an indicator of chronic otits media in paleopathological investigations. The condition can be caused by a poor development of air cells during infancy and early childhood (primary hypocellularity) or by obliteration of air cells with bone during later life (secondary hypocellularity). We performed a macroscopic, radiographic, and microscopic study of pneumatization patterns in 151 mastoid processes of…

    Xcambó is a Classic period Maya site (250–700 AD) situated on the northern coast of Yucatan, Mexico. Archaeological evidence suggests that the site began as a salt production center but adopted a more administrative role as a commercial port in the Late Classic period. Economic growth, depending on its magnitude, could have affected the daily occupations of Xcambó's inhabitants. However, this is difficult to infer from the archaeological record. …

  • First Homo erectus from Turkey and implications for migrations into temperate Eurasia

    Open Access•J Kappelman, Mehmet Cihat Alçiçek et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2008•Cited by: 27•References: 57

    Remains of fossil hominins from temperate regions of the Old World are rare across both time and space, but such specimens are necessary for understanding basic issues in human evolution including linkages between their adaptations and early migration patterns. We report here the remarkable circumstances surrounding the discovery of the first fossil hominin calvaria from Turkey. The specimen was found in the Denizli province of western Turkey and…

  • Mastoiditis—Paleopathological evidence of a rarely reported disease

    Open Access•Flohr, Stefan Flohr et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2009•Cited by: 3•References: 27

    Since antibiotics have become available, mastoiditis has become a rare disease in modern Western societies. However, it is still common in developing countries. It can be hypothesized that in earlier historical and prehistoric times, mastoiditis must have posed a serious threat to people's lives, and that the prevalence of this disease is probably underrepresented in the paleopathological literature. The present study identifies pathological chan…

  • Differential diagnosis of mastoid hypocellularity in human skeletal remains

    Open Access•Flohr, Stefan Flohr et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2009•Cited by: 1•References: 41

    Mastoid hypocellularity is frequently used as an indicator of chronic otits media in paleopathological investigations. The condition can be caused by a poor development of air cells during infancy and early childhood (primary hypocellularity) or by obliteration of air cells with bone during later life (secondary hypocellularity). We performed a macroscopic, radiographic, and microscopic study of pneumatization patterns in 151 mastoid processes of…

  • Osseous changes due to mastoiditis in human skeletal remains

    Open Access•Flohr, S Flohr et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2009•Cited by: 7•References: 15

    Mastoiditis is a disease that follows otitis media and may lead to severe endocranial complications. Most studies on mastoiditis and middle ear diseases in archaeological skeletal remains are based on radiological investigations. The following study describes the morphological changes in the pneumatised cells of the mastoid process due to mastoiditis in archaeological skeletal remains, based on macroscopic, endoscopic, light and scanning-electron…

  • A distinct region of microarchitectural variation in femoral compact bone: Histomorphology of the endosteal lamellar pocket

    Open Access•Isabel S Maggiano, C M Maggiano et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2011•Cited by: 3•References: 47

    Bone is a dynamic tissue, responding locally to differential mechanical loading and systemically to hormonal stimuli. Although the tendency is to consider compact bone a homogenous tissue, regional variations in microarchitecture are known to have quite different properties relating to processes of growth and mechanical loading. Specifically, we investigated an example of microstructural variation of the human, adult femoral endocortex, referred …

  • Skeletal manifestations of infantile scurvy in a late medieval anthropological series from Hungary

    Open Access•Gabriella Lovász, Michael Schultz et al.•ARTICLE•Anthropological Science•2013•Cited by: 6•References: 1

    This study provides a review of the skeletal manifestations of infantile scurvy and presents four cases observed in the Bácsalmás–Óalmás series (247 subadults and 234 adults; 126 males, 113 females, 242 unknown sex) dating from the 16–17th centuries AD. In the case of these four infants (aged 6 months–3 years) bilateral porous bone lesions were found on the external surface of the cranial bones. In three cases, these features were associated with…
