LiDAR-derived high-resolution geomorphological analysis for archaeology: Case study of the Gunditjmara aquaculture engineering systems at Budj Bim, Australia
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) derived from LiDAR surveys have become essential tools in predictive archaeological analysis. The increasing affordability and accessibility of high-resolution, large-coverage datasets have opened new avenues for archaeologists to detect a diverse array of sites. These datasets facilitate the examination of broad spatial distributions, functional relationships, and patterns of landscape use by past populations over…
Rural disparities in end‐of‐life care for patients with heart failure: Are they due to geography or socioeconomic disparity
PURPOSE: The impact of rurality and socioeconomic deprivation on end-of-life (EOL) care for patients with heart failure (HF) is unknown. We analyzed claims to describe the prevalence and predictors of EOL health care utilization for patients dying with HF in a predominantly rural state. METHODS: We used the MaineHealth Data Organization's All-Payer Claims Data to identify 15,168 patients ≥35 who died with HF between 2012 and 2017. The primary out…
Conceptual Modelling of Two Large-Scale Mine Water Geothermal Energy Schemes: Felling, Gateshead, UK
A conceptual model is presented of two MW-scale low enthalpy mine water geothermal heat pump schemes that are being developed in Tyneside, UK. The Abbotsford Road scheme (54.955° N 1.556° W) is operating (as of May 2021) at 20-30 L/s, abstracting groundwater (and heat) from an unmined Coal Measures Upper Aquifer System (UAS) and reinjecting to the deeper High Main Aquifer System (HMAS), associated with the High Main (E) coal workings and the over…
The rock art of Kisar Island, Indonesia: A small island with a wealth and diversity of artistic expression
We report 40 recently discovered rock art sites from Kisar Island in eastern Indonesia and investigate the commonalities between this art and painted art in other islands of Indonesia and in Timor-Leste. Predominantly painted, the art can be broadly divided into three categories: 1) small figurative motifs including humans, animals, boats and items of material culture, 2) a range of geometrics, both curvilinear and rectilinear, and 3) hand and ar…
Association Between Rurality and Lung Cancer Treatment Characteristics and Timeliness
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, and rural states bear a greater burden of disease. METHODS: We analyzed tumor registry data to examine relationships between rurality and lung cancer stage at diagnosis and treatment. Cases were from the Maine Cancer Registry from 2012 to 2015, and rurality was defined using rural-urban commuting areas. Multivariable models were used to examine the rela…
Association between the food and physical activity environment, obesity, and cardiovascular health across Maine counties
In a rural state, both demographic and environmental factors predict overall poor CVH. These findings may help inform communities and policymakers of the impact of both social determinants of health and local environments on health outcomes
