TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the determinants of industrial properly value and found that the value of industrial buildings during 1987-1991 in the Dallas/Fort Worth area is primarily related to local market effects and to physical characteristics and location of the property.
Abstract: This paper examines the determinants of industrial properly value. We use the factor-analytic linear structural relations (LISREL) model to confront measurement problems associated with related work. A simultaneous test of the effects on property value of factors summarizing physical property, national market, local market, interest rate and location variables is performed. Findings indicate that the value of industrial buildings during 1987–1991 in the Dallas/Fort Worth area is primarily related to local market effects and to physical characteristics and location of the property.

TL;DR: The authors examined whether subtly priming people to think of human experiences shared by people from diverse cultures increases perceived similarity of members of different groups, which then reduces MS-induced negativity toward outgroups.
Abstract: Many studies demonstrate that mortality salience can increase negativity toward out-groups but few have examined variables that mitigate this effect. The present research examined whether subtly priming people to think of human experiences shared by people from diverse cultures increases perceived similarity of members of different groups, which then reduces MS-induced negativity toward out-groups. In Study 1, exposure to pictures of people from diverse cultures engaged in common human activities non-significantly reversed the effect of MS on implicit anti-Arab prejudice. In Study 2, thinking about similarities between one’s own favorite childhood memories and those of people from other countries eliminated MS-induced explicit negative attitudes toward immigrants. In Study 3, thinking about similarities between one’s own painful childhood memories and those of people from other countries eliminated the MS-induced reduction in support for peace-making. Mediation analyzes suggest the effects were driven by perceived similarity of people across cultures. These findings suggest that priming widely shared human experiences can attenuate MS-induced inter-group conflict.

TL;DR: The results of field measurements conducted in a small (19Ð4 ha) agricultural basin on the North Carolina coastal plain this paper suggest that erosion in the region is more rapid and extensive than previously thought.
Abstract: This paper presents the results of field measurements conducted in a small (19Ð4 ha) agricultural basin on the North Carolina coastal plain. The overall objective of the study is to determine the magnitude of soil erosion and sediment delivery as a result of storm runoff. The results suggest that erosion in the region is more rapid and extensive than previously thought. Fields at the site are experiencing accelerated soil loss, with rates often comparable to those of the southeastern Piedmont, a region long recognized as having rapid and problematic soil loss. This casts doubt on some assessments of the coastal plain as being a stable, non-eroding landscape. However, much of the soil mobilized is redistributed and stored within the watershed with only a small portion of the soil eroded from slopes leaving the basin on an event time frame.

TL;DR: The determinants of flood risk perceptions in New Orleans, Louisiana, a deltaic coastal city highly vulnerable to seasonal nuisance flooding and hurricane-induced deluges and storm surges are investigated.
Abstract: This article investigates the determinants of flood risk perceptions in New Orleans, Louisiana (United States), a deltaic coastal city highly vulnerable to seasonal nuisance flooding and hurricane-induced deluges and storm surges. Few studies have investigated the influence of hazard experience, geophysical vulnerability (hazard proximity), and risk perceptions in cities undergoing postdisaster recovery and rebuilding. We use ordinal logistic regression techniques to analyze experiential, geophysical, and sociodemographic variables derived from a survey of 384 residents in seven neighborhoods. We find that residents living in neighborhoods that flooded during Hurricane Katrina exhibit higher levels of perceived risk than those residents living in neighborhoods that did not flood. In addition, findings suggest that flood risk perception is positively associated with female gender, lower income, and direct flood experiences. In conclusion, we discuss the implications of these findings for theoretical and empirical research on environmental risk, flood risk communication strategies, and flood hazards planning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how the tenets of design thinking as described by Richard Buchanan, Nigel Cross, Lucy Kimbell, Tim Brown and others might be applied to writing instruction and recommend that we apply design thinking to writing classes by teaching writing as a design process, creating wicked writing assignments, encouraging writing in teams, and fostering experimentation through prototyping.
