(2023). Methane and Health Dialogue Series: April 11, 26 and May 10, 2023. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF)

The climate crisis is also a public health crisis, and methane, due to its impact on warming and air quality, threatens human health. Cutting methane is the quickest, most effective way to address climate change while delivering significant near-term...

The extent to which hemp insulation materials can be substituted for in Canadian residential buildings (2023)
Journal Article
Liu, C. H. J., Pomponi, F., & D'Amico, B. (in press). The extent to which hemp insulation materials can be substituted for in Canadian residential buildings. Sustainability,

The embodied carbon of building materials is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. Hemp is widely acknowledged as the most used vegetal insulation in building and construction due to its comparable thermal properties and bette...

Hearing intervention versus health education control to reduce cognitive decline in older adults with hearing loss in the USA (ACHIEVE): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial (2023)
Journal Article
Lin, F. R., Pike, J. R., Albert, M. S., Arnold, M., Burgard, S., Chisolm, T., …ACHIEVE Collaborative Research Group. (2023). Hearing intervention versus health education control to reduce cognitive decline in older adults with hearing loss in the USA (ACHIEVE): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial. Lancet, 402(10404), 786-797. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0140-6736%2823%2901406-x

Background Hearing loss is associated with increased cognitive decline and incident dementia in older adults. We aimed to investigate whether a hearing intervention could reduce cognitive decline in cognitively healthy older adults with hearing loss...

Loneliness and Social Network Characteristics Among Older Adults with Hearing Loss in the ACHIEVE Study (2023)
Journal Article
Huang, A. R., Reed, N. S., Deal, J. A., Arnold, M., Burgard, S., Chisolm, T., …ACHIEVE Collaborative Research Group. (in press). Loneliness and Social Network Characteristics Among Older Adults with Hearing Loss in the ACHIEVE Study. Journals of Gerontology, Series A, https://doi.org/10.1093/gerona/glad196

Background: Hearing loss is linked to loneliness and social isolation, but evidence is typically based on self-reported hearing. This study quantifies the associations of objective and subjective hearing loss with loneliness and social network charac...

Boundary layer collapses described by the two-dimensional intermediate long-wave equation (2020)
Journal Article
Oloo, J. O., & Shrira, V. I. (2020). Boundary layer collapses described by the two-dimensional intermediate long-wave equation. Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 203(1), 512-523. https://doi.org/10.1134/S0040577920040078

We study the nonlinear dynamics of localized perturbations of a confined generic boundary-layer shear flow in the framework of the essentially two-dimensional generalization of the intermediate long-wave (2d-ILW) equation. The 2d-ILW equation was ori... Read More about Boundary layer collapses described by the two-dimensional intermediate long-wave equation.
