Kirk’s Research Described in Psychology Today
Mar 19, 2019
Assistant Professor Colleen P. Kirk’s recent research paper, published in the Journal of Business Research, is described at length by a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia for a post at Psychology Today.
Kirk’s experimental research explains why dog owners are willing to spend more resources on their pets than cat owners. Author Stanley Coren, Ph.D., summed up what he takes from Kirk’s paper in the subtitle of his post: “People care more about dogs than cats—if the dogs don't act like cats.” Coren is a self-described dog person.
Wolf Shares Nutrition Advice with AAPA
Mar 18, 2019
School of Health Professions’ Corri Wolf, was one of two experts interviewed by the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) for a discussion on how physician assistants can address nutrition with their patients. She acknowledges that offering nutrition advice to low-income patients, who may have limited access to healthy options, can require more personalized instruction.
“Eating well on a budget can be tricky, but there are a lot of resources out there to share with your patients so you are not recreating the wheel,” Wolf says. She suggests whole grains with longer shelf lives and frozen items in bulk.
Donoghue Quoted in Runner's World
Mar 18, 2019
Exercise physiologist Joanne Donoghue, Ph.D., director of clinical research and assistant professor, NYITCOM, provided insight on post-workout headaches in Runner’s World. In addition to blood flow changes in the body and poor running form, she notes that headaches following a run or workout can be caused by an electrolyte imbalance, which can be avoided.
“If you’re exercising longer than an hour, consuming electrolytes an hour beforehand and then every 15 to 20 minutes while you are running can help,” says Donoghue. “This can be done through liquid gels, capsules, or fluids containing electrolytes.”
Beheshti Describes 5G Networks in StateTech
Mar 14, 2019
Babak D. Beheshti, Dean of NYIT College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, is cited in StateTech describing the value of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) in 5G wireless networks. Noting the greatly enhanced speed of 5G networks compared to 4G wireless networks, Beheshti points out that MEC’s decentralization makes possible “real time, high throughput, low-latency access to applications that are inherently intolerant of latencies.” Current 4G networks are slower because of “traffic having to go through the entire network to a central point and then back to the end user equipment,” says Beheshti. The “decentralized architecture” of MEC “is integral to 5G,” he adds.
Bloom Describes 1950s Public Housing for The Washington Post
Mar 13, 2019
Professor of Social Sciences Nicholas Dagen Bloom gives his expert opinion to The Washington Post for an article on the Brooklyn public housing project where Howard Schultz grew up.
Schultz, positioning himself as a candidate for the U.S. presidency, describes Bayview as “the wrong side of the tracks.” Bloom, who co-edited a history of public housing in New York City, says that at the time Schultz lived in the neighborhood, “A lot of people needed housing [in New York], and they were not all poor. The city had a program to build high-quality developments for middle-class tenants, people who could afford to pay enough rent that the rents would cover the operating costs of the buildings and the amortization of the mortgage.”
