Orinoco: Retrieving a River Delta Network with the Fast Marching Method and Python
We present Orinoco, an open-source Python toolkit that applies the fast-marching method to derive a river delta channel network from a water mask and ocean delineation. We are able to estimate flow direction, along-channel distance, channel width, and network-related metrics for deltaic analyses including the steady-state fluxes. To demonstrate the capabilities of the toolkit, we apply our software to the Wax Lake and Atchafalaya River Deltas usi…
Harnessing Big Data to Support the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Mangrove Forests Globally
Mangrove forests are found on sheltered coastlines in tropical, subtropical, and some warm temperate regions. These forests support unique biodiversity and provide a range of benefits to coastal communities, but as a result of large-scale conversion for aquaculture, agriculture, and urbanization, mangroves are considered increasingly threatened ecosystems. Scientific advances have led to accurate and comprehensive global datasets on mangrove exte…
Harnessing Big Data to Support the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Mangrove Forests Globally
(One Earth 2, 429–443; May 22, 2020) In the preparation of the originally published perspective, text from an internal Nature Conservancy working document was unfortunately included without proper attribution to its authors, who are not co-authors of this paper. In the online version of the article, the section “Prioritization of Conservation and Rehabilitation” has now been corrected to cite the framework developed by McGowan et al. (as referenc…

Validation of the Combined Comorbidity Index of Charlson and Elixhauser to Predict 30-Day Mortality Across ICD-9 and ICD-10
OBJECTIVES: To validate and compare performance of an International Classification of Diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10) version of a combined comorbidity index merging conditions of Charlson and Elixhauser measures against individual measures in the prediction of 30-day mortality. To select a weight derivation method providing optimal performance across ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding systems. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using 2 adult population-based cohorts of pa…

Standard Period Life Table Used to Compute the Life Expectancy of Diseased Subpopulations: More Confusing Than Helpful
Life expectancy (LE) based on a period life table (PLT) traditionally serves as a general population summary metric. It is, however, becoming more frequently reported for chronically afflicted subpopulations. In general populations, there is always an obvious real cohort sharing the hypothetical PLT cohort characteristics, and the LE estimate is intuitively understood as that real cohort mean survival time, assuming constancy of death risks. In d…

Doumergue et la reforme de l'Etat en 1934: La Derniere Chance de la IIIe Republique
Quand Gaston Doumergue accepte, le 7 fevrier 1934, de quitter sa retraite de Tournefeuille pour former un gouvernement d'union nationale dont la fonction premiere est de ramener le calme a Paris, le regime parlementaire francais apparait autant sinon plus menace qu'aux jours du boulangisme. La veille, les emeutiers de la place de la Concorde ont conspue les deputes aux cris d'A bas les voleurs et de Demission, tandis que le gouvernement Daladier …
Intellectuels, fascisme et antimodernité dans la France des années trente
Intellectuals, fascism and anti-modernity in the 1930s in France, Marc Simard. In the debate on the « fascism » of French intellectuals in the 1930s, the author suggests a shift in perspectives. Although the per-sonalist journals such as Esprit or L'Ordre Nouveau did not actually share the fascist fascination of intellectuals such as Brasillach and Drieu La Rochelle, they did have a common features : the rejection of modernity, the reaction again…
Situation économique de l'entreprise et rapports de production: Le cas de la Compagnie des Mines d'Anzin (1860-1894)
La conscience et le comportement des ouvriers sont-ils influencés par la situation économique de leur entreprise ? Le cas de la Compagnie d'Anzin, houillère du Nord, sert ici d'illustration. Jadis compagnie la plus puissante et la plus prospère du bassin du Nord, la Compagnie d'Anzin entre à partir de 1860 dans une période de difficultés économiques (visibles au niveau du coût de la main-d'œuvre par tonne), qui sont rendues encore plus aiguës par…
