Introduction to Bay Area

This paper translates Ostrom’s “diagnostic approach” for social-ecological systems to identify the collective action problems and core governance barriers for sea-level rise adaptation in the San Francisco Bay Area.

According to the existing studies, coastal floods in Manila Bay areas are caused by climate-induced sea-level rise and land subsidence due to the excessive groundwater extraction and rapid urban development.

This research employs a general population stated preference survey of four California metropolitan regions (Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area) in Fall 2018 to examine the opportunities and challenges for drastically expanding the market for pooling, accounting for differences in emergent travel behavior and preferences across the four metropolitan regions surveyed.

We employ two agent-based simulation engines, an activity-based travel demand model of the San Francisco Bay Area, and vehicle movement data from the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles Basin to model emergent travel behavior of commute trips in response to subsidies for TNCs and public transit.

Purpose: The rise of telehealth is evident worldwide, especially now with the COVID-19 pandemic situation, and is providing extensive opportunities for health-care organisations to create added value for different stakeholders However, even in this extreme situation, the progress of telehealth is quite slow and insufficient In this context, it is necessary to consider how the application of telehealth services allows co-creating additional value for different stakeholders Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to explore telehealth services and the added value that they co-create for various stakeholders across publicly and privately oriented health-care ecosystems Design/methodology/approach: This paper adopted a qualitative research design based on an explorative and comparative approach to study the perceived added value that is co-created during telehealth encounters The authors deployed a semi-structured interview research design Interviews were carried out in two settings that have different health-care systems: Lithuania (publicly oriented health care) and the California Bay Area, USA, (privately oriented health care) The research covers telehealth services from the point of view of different stakeholders in the health-care ecosystem Findings: The paper emphasises that value-in-use is essential in the case of telehealth;however, value-in-exchange is relevant to describe the relationships between public and private insurers and health-care providers The findings point out that despite the type of health-care system, telehealth added value-in-use was perceived quite similar in both research settings, and differences could be distinguished mainly at the sub-dimensional level The added value-in-use for patients comprises economic, functional and emotional value;physicians potentially get functional added value-in-use The authors also highlight that patients and physicians get relational functional and social value-in-use The added value-in-use for health-care providers consists of economic (in both research settings) and functional value (in Lithuania) The research findings show that there is still an evident lack of health insurance companies ready to recognise telehealth as a valuable service and to reimburse similarly to in cases of in-person visits Thus, the added value-in-exchange is hardly created and this impedes co-creation of the added value-in-use Originality/value: This paper contributes to the field mainly by transferring the business research applied concept of value co-creation into the social-purpose driven health-care industry The findings are beneficial for the health-care management stream of the literature, which considers health care as a value-based industry To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to structure the perceived telehealth added value from the perspectives of different stakeholders and two different health-care ecosystems This paper also gives a clearer understanding of the role of the value-in-exchange in such complex ecosystems as health care and gives reasons when it could be created in synergy with co-creation of the value-in-use In this sense, the findings are beneficial from both marketing and innovation theoretical perspectives, as they give a special attention to value creation and co-creation phenomena analysis © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Electrical energy mainly flows to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the increased demand is also mainly concentrated there.

In the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Bay Area), the allocation methods of public rental housing are analyzed to achieve scientific and fair housing allocation as much as possible, so as to protect the housing demand of low-income and middle-income families.

We compared Asians and whites presenting to a San Francisco Bay Area tertiary/quaternary stroke center that uniquely serves a high proportion of Asian American patients, and reviewed the treatment rates and outcomes of Asian Americans presenting with acute ischemic stroke compared to whites.

The productivity of the introduced method has been validated on ALOS PALSAR-2 datasets over the San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA, and Mumbai, India.

A case study based on simulated disaggregate travel demand data of the Tampa Bay area in Florida, USA was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

The purpose of this study was to assess the risk factors for CRC in uninsured patients from free clinics in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.

In order to verify the effectiveness of the method, two sets of heterogeneous sentinel satellite data were used for sea ice classification in the Hudson Bay area.

The upstream Hudson Bay area ~250 km northwest of the Nelson River estuary is found to be marine dominated.

The Bohai Bay area, a typical area with enormous carbon emissions in China, was adopted as the study case for this research.

In order to improve the calculation accuracy of the Mike21 model, taking the lower Yellow River estuary channel and the Bohai Bay area as an example, the use of Google Earth satellite images and the AutoCAD topographic map to extract the terrain boundary is discussed, and the terrain interpolation problem in terrain pre-processing is discussed.

In this study, high-resolution surface and radar observations are used to analyze 24 localized extreme hourly rainfall (EXHR; >60 mm h−1) events with strong urban heat island (UHI) effects over the Great Bay Area (GBA) in South China during the 2011–16 warm seasons.

The implementation of the national strategy of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Great Bay Area has put forward higher requirements for flood control and security in the Pearl River Delta.

This paper is the second report of the Yaesu-Kyobashi-Nihonbashi Committee USJ’s Three - year project on planning of new underground railway station supposed to be constructed near Tokyo Station once the railway network is to be realized, connecting Tsukuba and Haneda Airport and running through near Tokyo Station, Tokyo Bay Area etc.

An implementation simulation for a Tokyo Bay area to evaluate this service on the basis of two criteria, “ease of use” and “from anywhere,” demonstrated that it is effective in bridging the transpiration gap.

Results are compared with the performance of the OLCI red-NIR algorithm with an alternative atmospheric correction, showing good qualitative agreements in the Chesapeake Bay area in conditions from clear waters to algal blooms.

In contrast, sea level rise in the Chesapeake Bay area is expected to lead to an increase in bottom water salinity and this could lower rates of P burial or even liberate currently buried P, thereby enhancing eutrophication.

The Archean Cheechoo stockwork gold deposit is hosted by a felsic intrusion of tonalitic-granodioritic composition and crosscutting pegmatite dikes in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay area of Quebec, Canada (Archean Superior craton).
