Cellular Automata and Multi-agent Systems as Planning Support Tools
[chapter]
2003
Advances in Spatial Science
However, a 'new wave' of models is currently under development in academic circles, and it is beginning to find application in practical contexts. ...
This chapter presents an overview of 'traditional' land-use and transport models as planning support tools and examines their fragilities before reviewing a 'new wave' of urban models. ...
Geosimulation could be considered as a reconsideration of the goals of simulation, with a new emphasis on building scenario-generating games-tools to think with-rather than predictive models. ...

Association of Neighborhood-Level Disadvantage With Alzheimer Disease Neuropathology
2020
JAMA Network Open
The association between neighborhood disadvantage and Alzheimer disease neuropathology was evaluated via logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, and year of death. ...
The sample consisted of 447 decedents (249 men [56%]; mean [SD] age, 80.3 [9.5] years; median year of death, 2011) spanning 24 years of donation. ...
If more widely available, such linkages could allow for new insight into the extent to which SDOH may affect risk for AD dementia and neuropathology. ...
