Background: Ambient air pollution, detrimental built and social environments, social isolation (SI), low socioeconomic status (SES), and rural (versus urban) residence have been associated with cognitive decline and risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Research is needed to investigate the influence of ambient air pollution and built and social environments on SI and cognitive decline among rural, disadvantaged, ethnic minority communities. To address this gap, this cohort study will recruit an ethnoracially diverse, rural Florida sample in geographic proximity to seasonal agricultural burning.

In this brief article, the green toad () and the Levant water frog () were compared to better understand the adaptations needed by amphibians, specifically the green toad, to survive in arid regions and to inhabit a wide range of habitats. The information mainly comes from data gathered in Israel, a nation experiencing a shift from Mediterranean to desert ecosystems where both amphibian species can be found. Using these data, a qualitative model is put forward that showcases the differences between these two amphibians and illustrates how the green toad has adapted to arid environments.

Modern urban centers have one of the most critical challenges of congestion. Traditional electronic toll collection systems attempt to mitigate this issue through pre-defined static congestion pricing methods; however, they are inadequate in addressing the dynamic fluctuations in traffic demand. Dynamic congestion pricing has been identified as a promising approach, yet its implementation is hindered by the computational complexity involved in optimizing long-term objectives and the necessity for coordination across the traffic network.
