Groundwater, a pivotal water resource in numerous regions worldwide, confronts formidable challenges posed by severe nitrate pollution. Traditional research methodologies aimed at addressing groundwater nitrate contamination frequently struggle to ac...
When studying the impact of policy interventions or natural experiments on air pollution, such as new environmental policies or the opening or closing of an industrial facility, careful statistical analysis is needed to separate causal changes from o...
IMPORTANCE: Built environment plays an important role in development of cardiovascular disease. Large scale, pragmatic evaluation of built environment has been limited owing to scarce data and inconsistent data quality.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Built environment plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Tools to evaluate the built environment using machine vision and informatic approaches have been limited. This study aimed to investigate the...
