How do crime and neighborhood environment affect transit ridership? Evidence from five metropolitan cities in the Texas Triangle by Qian He, Jianling Li

“…We also find that mixed-use development with greater population density, greater employment density, and employment entropy, as well as better walkability, are associated with higher transit ridership during workdays, holding all else constant. Our findings also show that block groups with challenging socioeconomic status (measured by households of lower income, households with public assistance, and unemployment status), are associated with higher transit ridership. …”

Luminescence of copper-doped α-quartz crystal after oxygen treatment by A. Trukhin

“…Both peaks were attributed to Cuo centers released from different sites and recombined with a hole in AlO4 having additional oxygen. The introduction of copper ions into quartz removes alkali metal ions and eliminates the corresponding luminescence, but after treatment in oxygen, luminescence with similar parameters is restored at low temperatures. …”

Frequency and treatment of venous thromboembolic events in patients with space-occupying brain infarction and decompressive craniectomy by Dominik Michalski, Dirk Lindner, Alhuda Dabbagh, Janine Mielke, Katja S Mühlberg, Karl Titus Hoffmann, Charlotte Huber, Johann Otto Pelz

“…Only three patients had major bleeding events while being anticoagulated (one asymptomatic cerebral and two extracranial bleedings).Discussion Patients with space-occupying brain infarction and DC hold a high risk for VTE. Despite extensive infarct size and DC, therapeutic anticoagulation required for VTE appeared to be safe regarding intracranial bleeding complications.…”

Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers: How Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback and Cosmic-Ray Transport Shape the Far-infrared–Radio Correlation of Galaxies by Sam B. Ponnada, Rachel K. Cochrane, Philip F. Hopkins, Iryna S. Butsky, Sarah Wellons, N. Nicole Sanchez, Cameron Hummels, Yue Samuel Lu, Dušan Kereš, Christopher C. Hayward

“…In particular, we find that in many cases “radio-excess” objects can be better understood as “IR-dim” objects with longer-lived radio contributions at low z from Type Ia supernovae and intermittent black hole accretion in quenching galaxies, though this is sensitive to the interplay of CR transport and AGN feedback physics. …”
