Community response to railway-induced building vibration
This study is an investigation of the subjective response to railway-induced building vibration. No previous study has obtained both subjective and objective measures from so many lineside residents: several hundred were interviewed and over fifty of the dwellings provided a site for a continuous …

Aquatic community response to Zequanox®: a mesocosm experiment
… mg/L of the active ingredient) to determine the responses of primary producers, zooplankton, and macroinvertebrates to Zequanox® exposure in a complex aquatic environment. Short-term increases occurred in phytoplankton and periphyton biomass (250–350% of controls), abundance of large cladoceran …

Learning from Wildfire: Understanding the Social Dimensions of Community Response
… management cycle (mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery), there is a missed opportunity for post-disaster learning (PDL): the direct, experiential learning from a wildfire event that can be translated into enhanced, socially sensitive, wildfire disaster management plans. A focus on …

Soil Microbial Community Response to Human Decomposition in Michigan's Upper Peninsula
… processed with QIIME 2, and microbial community changes analyzed with R using alpha and beta diversity metrics and relative abundance.</p> <p>Results revealed that human decomposition significantly alters the soil microbiome over time. While differences between sampling sites were not …

A case study of community response to a health crisis from a communication perspective
The city of Austin is a small community in Southern Indiana that experienced a large HIV/AIDS outbreak which infected over 180 people. Due to rapid spread of the disease from shared needles during intravenous drug use, a public health emergency was declared in March 2015. This epidemic was a …

Using Passive Acoustic Monitoring to Estimate Bird Community Response to Land Management in Southeastern Georgia
… for example, Common Nighthawk showed a positive response to grass cover, whereas Prairie Warbler responded negatively. My results provide strong evidence that site treatment influences the relative abundance of all focal species and highlight the need for future studies to parse out the exact …

Creating a coordinated community response to domestic violence: a program and policy guide for community leaders
… costs by more than $13 billion. Studies of community-based prevention intervention initiatives have shown that efforts to eliminate complex destructive behaviors must not only be aimed at at-risk individuals but also must target change within the broader social environment.. This more …

Bryophyte Community Response to Prescribed Fire and Thinning in Mixed-Oak Forests of the Unglaciated Allegheny Plateau
… Burning in xeric sites clearly altered bryophyte community richness and composition as burned sites had a 50% 4 reduction in mean richness and a disproportionate decrease in corticolous species. Mesic moisture conditions appear to mitigate species loss and community change. Thinning strongly …

Community Response to Malaria: Muheza District, Tanzania, 1983-1984. A Study in Cultural Adaptation (Compliance, Prophylaxis, Women)
This study of a rural community in the malaria endemic area of Muheza in Tanzania deals with several issues. (1) Malaria as a health problem is looked at from its ecological epidemiological context. It is seen as a problem which has made it necessary for the resident people to develop knowledge and …

Water quality and biotic community response to an urban – rural land-use gradient in the Lake Simcoe watershed
… nutrient content and biomass, and invertebrate response in lotic surface waters in the LSW. To infer the contribution of cosmetic fertilizer use in the LSW, a community survey was conducted to assess lawn care and fertilizer choices by residents. Overall, the survey results confirmed that …
