Abstract:
Recently, Bike shop only sells bicycle in full bike or you can build it with components that suit you at the shop. However, these days many customer needs e-commerce web so that potential customers or buyers can shop online for their custom build bike. But if they want to see how it built, they have to see it on the shop or see other builds. The main idea of this study is to make a custom build simulation for bicycle web application for bike shop so that potential buyers could do a simulation first before they buy a custom build bike so that they know what components that suits them and know the weight, price and etc. The objective of this study is to make the potential buyer easier to find a bike that suits their needs. The methodology of system design in this study is using Rapid Application Development Method because the method could made the process very fast and always interact with the bike shop owner so that the application right on track. The website application was built by using MySQL Database and PHP programming language. The website is divided into 2 parts, which are one for customer and one for admin for maintaining the app. In this study use Spinwarrior bike shop for the example of the website implementation Index Terms: Bicycle, custom build, simulation, PHP, website.

Abstract:
O objetivo do estudo foi compreender o fenômeno ciclismo urbano como sentido político em perspectiva de experiências laborais na promoção da bicicultura em São Paulo, Brasil. Optamos pela abordagem fenomenológico-hermenêutica a partir dos geradores de sentido vínculo, abrigo, fixação, reiteração e apoio na análise dos discursos de cinco sujeitos que trabalham com mecânica de bicicleta, gerente de agência “bike courier”, organizador de eventos desportivos com mountain bike, administrador de empresa bike shop e gestora pública de infraestrutura cicloviária. Na construção dos resultados, emergiram as unidades de significado: a) valores sociais na atividade profissional com bicicleta b) saúde ambiental no compartilhamento viário c) educação e política pública para a sustentabilidade. Constatamos que, a categoria “ciclismo urbano como construção cultural” representa o sentido semântico, existencial e metafísico da manifestação política da bicicultura em direção a cidadania ativa pelo direito humano à mobilidade por bicicleta em São Paulo.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the process of calculating the lay-up configuration and structural stiffness of carbon fiber composite bike frame. First, a program is written in ANSYS macro language to calculate the lay-up configuration of the composite. The user only has to input the geometry, fiber orientation and sequence of individual layer, according to the original shop drawing. The program will then calculate the lay-up configuration of all the details for the whole structure automatically, and create the finite element model for ANSYS. The stiffness is then analyzed according to the product specification, and also compared with test result to evaluate the validation of the model. This automated process can accelerate the development time frame, and also work as the basis of parametric model for future design optimization.

Abstract:
On the way to my library there is a little shop named ‘World Music. The Oasis of Music from Asia, Africa’. One morning I stopped my bike and went in just curious to see what world music could be in my little town. In the racks even the smallest country from Asia or Africa was represented with one or two CDs, most of them produced in Paris or London. The other customers were half my age (around thirty to thirty-five, nobody over fifty or under twenty). The owner, an immigrant who has lived in Sweden for more than ten years, had this to say:The youngsters do not come here, all my customers are between twenty-five and forty. There is a growing interest in world music: people with money are visiting foreign countries as tourists and when they come home they come to me, asking for artists or groups they have heard. Most of them have an academic background and speak English fluently.

Abstract:
The use of electric bikes (e-bikes) is attracting increasing attention from researchers and policymakers as a way to promote sustainable transportation. However, knowledge about the built environment factors that influence e-bike use is lacking. In China, most evidence on e-bikes and travel behavior stems from big cities; there is much less evidence concerning small cities and their adjacent rural areas. Using travel data collected in a small Chinese city (Ganyu), the present research explores the impact of the built environment around residential and work locations on individuals’ commute mode choice, with a particular focus on e-bike use. Consistent with the few previous studies on travel behavior in small Chinese cities, we find that most residents of Ganyu commute only short distances and that the e-bike is the primary mode for their daily commutes. The results of a nested logit model show that e-bike use is more popular among females and low-income groups, and that certain built environment characteristics at the work location promote e-bike use. Moreover, the built environment in different geographical contexts has different influences on commute mode choice. In particular, the presence of city/town roads without bike lanes at work locations promotes e-bike use among rural residents but much less so among urban residents.

Abstract:
Purpose Many bike rental organizations permit customers to pick-up bikes from one bike station and return them at a different one. However, this service may result in bike imbalance, as bikes may accumulate in stations with low demand. To overcome the imbalance problem, this paper aims to develop a decision model to minimize the total costs of unmet demand and empty bike transport by determining bike fleet size, deployments and the vehicle routing schedule for bike transports. Design/methodology/approach This paper developed a constrained mixed-integer programming model to deal with this bike imbalance problem. The proposed model belongs to the non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-hard problem. This paper developed a two-phase heuristic approach to solve the model. In Phase 1, the approach determines fleet size, deployment level and the number of satisfied demands. In Phase 2, the approach determines the routing schedule for bike transfers. Findings Computational results show the following results that the proposed approach performs better than General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) in terms of solution quality, regardless of problem size. The objective values and the fleet size of rental bikes allocated increase as the number of rental stations increases. The cost of transportation is not directly proportional to the number of bike stations. Originality/value The authors provide an integrated model to simultaneously deal with the problems of fleet sizing, empty-resource repositioning and vehicle routing for bike transfer in multiple-station systems, and they also present an algorithm that can be applied to large-scale problems which cannot be solved by the well-known commercial software, GAMS/CPLEX.

Abstract:
Mobile devices for city-scale air quality monitoring is receiving increasing attention due to the advent of low-cost and miniaturized sensors. Mobility and crowdsensing have emerged as a new means to investigate the ambient air quality in urban areas. However, the design of the network (e.g., number of sensors per unit area) and the scientific interpretation of collected data with an ad hoc method are still challenging. In this paper, we focus on the use of a fleet of private bicycles to monitor NO2 concentrations in the city of Marseille, France. The study is based on synthetic observations generated by means of a regional air quality simulation system at a spatial resolution of 25 m × 25 m and simulated bike trips that are randomly generated in the city. The bike trips correspond to a maximum of 4500 bike commuters and are generated using a web-based navigation service. Simulated bike tracks are validated using available statistics on bike counts. Each bike track is associated with the along-track corresponding NO2 concentrations collected from the air quality simulations and physical features on the ground collected from Open Street Map. Spatialization of the information collected aboard the bikes is tested by using three different algorithms: kriging, land-use regression (LUR) and neural network (NN). LUR and NN show that the fleet can be limited to below 100 bikes while the performance of kriging is steadily increasing with the number of bikes. Increasing the sample distance above 200 m also impairs the citywide prediction of simulated NO2 concentrations.

Abstract:
New generation of bike-sharing systems introduce a wide range of smart solutions. Dockless bicycles equipped with GPS and accessible by smartphone applications as well as electric bikes are considered to be solutions to many socioeconomic and environmental urban problems. However, older generation of bike-sharing systems equipped with dockings stations have some advantages over free floating public bicycles. The aim of this paper is to examine if hybridization of both systems may become an opportunity to improve bike-sharing services. The paper presents characteristics of both types of bike-sharing schemes and describes the examples of hybrid models to show benefits of this solution. Chosen methodology is the case study of selected European bike-sharing systems which combine features of both schemes – the dockless and the station-based.

Les souris KK-Ay représentent un bon modèle pour étudier les effets d'une alimentation riche en graisse dans le développement des hyperlipidémies de type IIb et IV. Les acides biliaires réduisent l'accumulation des TG dans le foie ainsi que dans le sérum. LXR et LRH-1 induisent l'expression de SREBP-1c, les acides biliaires induisent l'expression de SHP en activant FXR. Ensuite, SHP diminue l'activité transcriptionnelle de LXR et LRH-1 sur le promoteur murin de SREBP-1c. Les acides biliaires réduisent l'accumulation hépatique de TG en réduisant l'expression de SREBP-1c via SHP. La diminution de la sécrétion des VLDL, et donc de TG sérique, est diminuée. Mes résultats suggèrent que des stratégies en vue d'augmenter l'activité de FXR et l'effet répresseur de SHP doivent être explorées pour corriger l'hypertriglycéridémie

LXR and LRH induce SREBP1c gene expression and bile acids induce mRNA expression of SHP by activating FXR. SHP decreases LXR and LRH transcriptional activity in mouse SREBP1c promoter region. Bile acids reduced liver TG accumulation by suppressing SREBP1c gene expression via SHP. This decreases VLDL secretion and as a result serum TG is reduced. Our results and these data suggest that strategies aimed at increasing FXR activity and the repressive effects of SHP should be explored to correct hypertriglyceridemia

Abstract:
The still increasing intensity of an individual motor transport (IMT) in cities becomes unsustainable. Moreover, the establishment of new retail centres (RCs) continues to escalate it, because their business policy is principally aimed to motorised costumers. Furthermore, a rapid turnover of goods, which enables low prices, along with a wide range of goods under one roof make RCs more attractive than traditional small shops in the inner-city. Therefore, these small shops have been shut down, and people must travel longer distances in order to reach the required services. The purpose of my thesis is to find a possibility how to replace by doing shopping the common automobile transport with cycling. This kind of transport is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, occupies less urban space, is accessible for everyone and also healthy, is reciprocally advantageous, it sustains quite large attraction zone, and up to 5 km it is even faster. In this thesis, for the first time defined Bike&Shop conception introduces the integration of retail net with bicycle transportation. It was inspired by already familiar Bike&Ride system. Bike&Shop concept illustrates advantages of shopping by bike, as well as instruments which can help to develop this way of shopping. The theoretical part is based on foreign...

Full text
Abstract:
Nuclear receptors play significant roles in the regulation of transporters and enzymes to balance the level of endogenous molecules and to protect the body from foreign molecules. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its natural ligand, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], was shown to upregulate rat ileal apical sodium dependent bile acid transporter (Asbt) to increase the reclamation of bile acids, ligands of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR). FXR is considered to be an important, negative regulator of the cholesterol metabolizing enzyme, Cyp7a1, which metabolizes cholesterol to bile acids in the liver. In rats, decreased Cyp7a1 and increased P-glycoprotein/multidrug resistance protein 1 (P-gp/Mdr1) expressions pursuant to 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment was viewed as FXR effects in which hepatic VDR protein is poorly expressed. In contrast, changes in rat intestinal and renal transporters such as multidrug resistance associated proteins (Mrp2, Mrp3, and Mrp4), Asbt, and P-gp after administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 were attributed directly as VDR effects due to higher VDR levels expressed in these tissues. Higher VDR expressions were found among mouse hepatocytes compared to those in rats. Hence, fxr(-/-) and fxr(+/+) mouse models were used to discriminate between VDR vs. FXR effects in murine livers. Hepatic Cyp7a1 in mice was found to be upregulated with 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment, via the derepression of the short heterodimer partner (SHP). Putative VDREs, identified in mouse and human SHP promoters, were responsible for the inhibitory effect on SHP. The increase in hepatic Cyp7a1 expression and decreased plasma and liver cholesterol were observed in mice prefed with a Western diet. A strong correlation was found between tissue Cyp7a1 and P-gp changes and 1,25(OH)2D3 plasma and tissue concentrations, confirming that VDR plays an important role in the disposition of xenobiotics and cholesterol metabolism. Moreover, renal and brain Mdr1a/P-gp were found to be directly upregulated by the VDR in mice, and concomitantly, increased renal and brain secretion of digoxin, a P-gp substrate, in vivo. The important observations: the cholesterol lowering and increased brain P-gp efflux activity properties suggest that VDR is a therapeutic target for treatment of hypercholesterolemia and Alzheimer’s diseases, since beta amyloid, precursors of plague, are P-gp substrates.

AbstractThe possible applications of small electric vehicles, i.e., electric cargo bikes and three- and four-wheeled L-class vehicles in transport, are discussed, and potential business models are presented. Moreover, transport-related potentials are analyzed. Therefore, we have utilized a multi-method approach: we conducted qualitative interviews with experts and professionals in the field of light and small electric vehicles and carried out quantitative analyses with the national household travel survey mobility in Germany 2017. Our results show that, theoretically, small electric vehicles could be used for 20–50% of private trips (depending on the model). On these trips, however, they would not only replace car trips, but also trips on public transport or by bicycle and on foot. In commercial transport, these vehicles are particularly suitable for service trips and some last-mile deliveries. If small electric vehicles were to replace a significant share of the transport volumes of motorized passenger and commercial transport, they could contribute to climate protection.

Tomas picks me up from Stroud railway station to take me to the office of Millar Howard Workshop (MHW), where his architectural practice is based. It’s the first hot day of the year; suddenly summer is here. On the way we tour through the center of town. Victorian buildings have a faded grandeur hearkening back to the town’s heyday when the woolen industry brought prosperity to Stroud. Boarded-up storefronts, charity shops, and discount stores sit next to high street chains. Though Stroud is in the Cotswolds, a place synonymous with an English pastoral idyll, it is not quite of it. We proceed along the valley bottom, following the railway, the canal, and the stream, the infrastructure of a nineteenth-century economy of a bygone era. The woolen mills closed long ago; some factory buildings remain derelict while others have been converted to serve an economy that now revolves around services, retail, and small-scale manufacturing: garages, a bike shop, a craft brewery, artists’ studios, some light engineering. The money now resides in the surrounding villages, whose population of retirees and commuters is growing, a wealthy demographic from which most of Tomas’s clients are drawn....

Abstract:
Rat bite fever is usually attributable to Streptobacillus moniliformis in the Americas, Europe, and Australasia, and to Spirillum minus in Asia. Bites are increasingly common among children with pet rats, and pet shop and laboratory workers. Both bacteria are commensals of rats, some other rodents, and their predators. After an incubation period less than 1 week, S. moniliformis causes sudden high fever, rigors, myalgia, petechial rash, and migratory reactive or septic polyarthritis with synovial effusions. Complications can include fulminant septicaemia, endocarditis, pneumonia, and metastatic abscesses. S. minus infection (sodoku) has a longer incubation period with similarly high fever but concomitant exacerbation of the bite wound, local lymphadenopathy, papular rash, and arthralgia without effusions. In both diseases, fever subsides after a few days but may relapse repeatedly over months. Prevention is by controlling peri-domestic rats and avoiding bites by pet or laboratory rodents.

Abstract:
In essence, the digestive system is a four-layered tube that extends from mouth to anus. Its main purpose is the enzymatic digestion of food to produce smaller molecules that can then be absorbed into the body as nutrients. To achieve this the gut is regionally specialized to enable the serial processing of food and the absorption of food, water, and electrolytes as materials pass along the bowel. The four layers of the bowel are: 1) A mucosa surrounding the lumen, made up of a specialized epithelium, a lamina propria of connective tissue, and a layer of smooth muscle—the muscularis mucosae. 2) A submucosa, a layer of connective tissue oft en containing glands. 3) A muscularis externa with, usually, an inner layer of circular smooth muscle and an outer layer of longitudinal smooth muscle, responsible for peristalsis. 4) An outermost layer of epithelia and connective tissue called the adventitia, or serosa if the bowel is enfolded by peritoneum or mesentery. Despite this common arrangement along the whole bowel, the four layers show characteristic differences in each region, reflecting the specialization of function found in the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Indeed, differences can also be seen between the subdivisions of these regions. Associated with the gut are two major organs, the liver and the pancreas. The liver processes the newly absorbed nutrients passed to it from the bowel by the hepatic portal vein. It also produces bile, which is eventually secreted into the bowel. Bile, stored and modified between meals in the gallbladder, is a vehicle for the removal from the body of conjugated bile pigments from the breakdown of haemoglobin. Bile also delivers to the small intestine the bile salts essential for the proper digestion of fats. The pancreas is divided into an exocrine pancreas, whose secretions of pro-enzymes, bicarbonate, and water pass to the small intestine to neutralize gastric acid and support digestion, and islets of endocrine tissue that produce insulin, glucagon and somatostatin — hormones concerned, in part, with glucose regulation. Control of bowel function is complex.

Abstract:
Diseases of the gallbladder and bile ducts are common, with gallstones and their complications being most frequent. Less common are biliary strictures, usually malignant, which are caused by adenocarcinomas of the pancreas, bile ducts, ampulla of Vater, and gallbladder. Rarely encountered are sclerosing cholangitis and a variety of congenital disorders. Disorders of the biliary system include gallstones, which cause biliary colic and cholecystitis by obstruction of the cystic duct, and bile duct obstruction (cholestasis), with jaundice, dark urine, and pale stools, itching, and sometimes constant right hypochondrial pain. Fevers and rigors may indicate bacterial infection of the biliary tract (cholangitis), which frequently accompanies partial obstruction. Weight loss may be due to fat malabsorption but can also be caused by malignancy. Prolonged biliary obstruction leads to skin changes of increased pigmentation (due to melanin) and cholesterol deposition (xanthelasma and xanthoma). Biliary cirrhosis can cause portal venous hypertension and liver cell failure. Disorders of the biliary system generally give rise to the biochemical picture of cholestasis: the serum (conjugated) bilirubin concentration may be normal or raised; serum alkaline phosphatase, γ‎-glutamyl transferase, and bile acids are elevated; serum transaminases show only modest elevation. Bilirubinuria is present, with the disappearance of urobilinogen from the urine indicating complete biliary obstruction. Imaging is critical in the diagnosis of biliary disease, initially by ultrasonography, with CT and MRI in more complicated cases. However, these investigations sometimes provide insufficient anatomical detail for diagnosis or planning of treatment, and further imaging with the cholangiographic techniques of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) are required. ERCP and PTC can be used to place biliary stents.

Abstract:
With the development of new shared transportation services, changes are occurring in the habitual consumption of these kinds of services, and it is expected that this trend will continue in the coming years. Given the rise of public bicycle-sharing systems (PBSS) and the increase in their use as a new mode of transportation in many cities, it is considered necessary to analyze and understand the main aspects that determine satisfaction with PBSS. This chapter proposes 10 aspects related to PBSS, grouped according to service infrastructure and other factors that are typical of this service. The results show that all the variables maintain a significant relationship with the established levels of satisfaction. In addition, it has been demonstrated that concessionaires and town halls must take special interest in the quality of the city's bicycles, bike lanes, and network of stations.

Abstract:
Customer satisfaction is key for survival and success in today’s consumer market. It is crucial that the customer be used to differentiate between different variants of a product, also known as a company’s product portfolio. Numerous examples in industry prove the benefit of a platform strategy in product development. The aim is to capture a wider market share by launching a number of products based on a common platform and to reduce design and development cost by reducing design cycle time. In this paper we explore the possibility of using high level customer needs alone to define the product’s base platform and differentiating modules. The basic idea is to outline platform and differentiating modules during conceptual design stage of product development and thus plan a product family before we consider any architecture. Planning platforms in conceptual design stage reduces additional costs associated with designing, manufacturing and managing resources for each variant separately. We use design tools such as the functional basis and functional modeling in our approach. In this work we seek to validate the technique by first applying it to existing products and comparing the results against known product platforms. In this paper we outline platform and differentiating modules for a bike and shop vacuum. Future work will focus on applying this approach for more products and finally to new products during conceptual design stage.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the application of a proposed energy harvesting mechanism to convert the vibrations in a bicycle tire to electricity. For this setting all tire spokes have been removed and two spring-damper links and one linear DC motor are used instead. The vibration analysis of the tire’s center of mass caused by bicycle motion is obtained using trigonometric relations. Moreover, the regenerated power by the linear motor is obtained analytically. This model together with the motion of the center of the mass of the tire are used to estimate the harvested power. The mechanical and electrical parameters are also optimized to harvest the maximize the power. Simulation results show the efficiency of proposed energy harvesting mechanism.

Abstract:
Bite-Sized Teaching approach uses relatively small learning units with short term focused activities. The paper presents the effectiveness of Bite-Sized lecture pedagogy on learning outcomes for an analytics course offered by the School of Information Technology at Nanyang Polytechnic. The methodology involves breaking a typical 1 hour lecture into 3 to 4 short lectures followed by related tutorial/practical exercises relevant to each respective short lecture. The results from the exercises show statistically significant improvements in the assessed learning outcomes for the Bite-Sized lecture over the traditional 1 hour lecture. 75% of the surveyed respondents agreed that the speed of the course materials presented in the Bite-Sized lecture was just right. Majority of the repondents agreed or strongly agreed that Bite-Sized lecture helped them to learn better. Although this paper is primarily based on education experiences made within an analytics module, the findings presented are applicable to any other computing related courses or even mathematics related courses in general.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper describes numerical investigation of fan transonic stall flutter, especially focused on flutter bite. A transonic stall flutter occurs in high loaded condition at part rotating speed. A region of the transonic stall flutter occasionally protrudes to an operating line at narrow rotational speed range. This protrusion of flutter boundary is called flutter bite. In that case, it is necessary to re-design the blade for securing sufficient operating range. The re-design process might require some compromise on performance and/or weight, and takes long time. So it is important to understand the mechanism of the flutter bite. Two types of fan blade, one has a flutter bite and another dose not, are numerically studied with a 3D Navier Stokes CFD code. Numerical results show agreement with rig test results for the fans in qualitative sense. Detailed flow fields reveal that a detached shock wave and separation due to the shock boundary layer interaction play significant role for the flutter stability.

Abstract:
Electronic device thermal management improvements are critical to continued increases in computing performance. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) show promise in meeting this need. This paper compares the performance of Bismuth Telluride (BiTe) in three different forms: thin film, bulk, and a hypothetical nanostructured bulk material. This hypothetical materials is based on recent experimental demonstrations in Lead Telluride. Performances of the TEC based on the three different BiTe forms are compared with respect to heat pumping capacity and optimum thickness. The simulations are based on 1-D models that include the effects of thermal and electrical contact resistance. Simulated results show a significant enhancement in maximum heat pumping capacity of ‘Nanostrutured-Bulk TEC’. Modified definitions of heat pumping capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) are proposed for evaluating TECs used to cool objects with temperatures above ambient temperature. It is observed that the appropriate heat sink selection is key factor for achieving the improved TEC performance while maintaining minimum thickness.

Abstract:
In this work, a new model of a recumbent bike with the tensegrity method is developed, where all elements in tension are substituted for steel cables, to improve the weight of the vehicle and to absorb some of the impacts of the tires, since the cable works as a shock absorber. The aim of this study is to determine the structural strength of each of the elements of the recumbent vehicle and to establish dimensions and construction materials. The model is divided in 6 different elements, applying the equivalent loads and constrains to simulate the interaction with other elements, the user and the road, based on the HPVC 2017 rules [1]. Results show that in the analyzed sections, the maximum Von Mises stress obtained for all elements is 116 MPa, obtaining a minimum safety factor of 2.37 against tensile yield strength. Finally, through this work it is possible to apply the finite element method for failure analysis of each of the components of a recumbent vehicle and maximize its weight and resistance.

Abstract:
With the popularity of the Internet, traditional offline resource allocation has evolved into a new form, called online resource allocation. It features the online arrivals of agents in the system and the real-time decision-making requirement upon the arrival of each online agent. Both offline and online resource allocation have wide applications in various real-world matching markets ranging from ridesharing to crowdsourcing. There are some emerging applications such as rebalancing in bike sharing and trip-vehicle dispatching in ridesharing, which involve a two-stage resource allocation process. The process consists of an offline phase and another sequential online phase, and both phases compete for the same set of resources. In this paper, we propose a unified model which incorporates both offline and online resource allocation into a single framework. Our model assumes non-uniform and known arrival distributions for online agents in the second online phase, which can be learned from historical data. We propose a parameterized linear programming (LP)-based algorithm, which is shown to be at most a constant factor of 1/4 from the optimal. Experimental results on the real dataset show that our LP-based approaches outperform the LP-agnostic heuristics in terms of robustness and effectiveness.

Abstract:
With the implementation of “go globally” strategy of Chinese culture, a large number of Chinese films and TV programs have been produced to go abroad. As a medium and carrier of cultural communication, the quality of documentary subtitle translation determines whether Chinese culture can be appropriately disseminated or not. This paper aims to investigate the translation strategies of culture-specific items with special focus on name of dishes. The object of study in this paper is A Bite of China 1 produced by CCTV in 2012, which is not only about Chinese foods but also geography, local customs and dietary habit. Firstly, by using comparative approach, the linguistic characteristics are discussed to identify the similarities and differences between source and translated dish names. Then the translation strategies for dish name are examined. Next, such factors affecting translation strategies as cultural ideology is analyzed. The objective of this paper is to study what translation strategies are possibly adopted when translating Chinese dish name into English in the documentary. The findings show that in the process of dish name translation of Chinese documentaries, domestication and foreignization are two frequently used strategies which is complementary to each other.

Full text
Abstract:
The transportation studies literature recognizes the relationship between accessibility and active travel. However, there is limited research on the specific impact of walking and cycling accessibility to multi-use paths on active travel behavior. Combined with the culture of automobile dependency in the US, this knowledge gap has been making it difficult for policy-makers to encourage walking and cycling mode choices, highlighting the need to promote a walking and cycling culture in cities. In this case, a clustering effect (“you bike, I bike”) can be used as leverage to initiate such a trend. This project contributes to the literature as one of the few published research projects that considers all typical categories of explanatory variables (individual and household socioeconomics, local built environment features, and travel and residential choice attitudes) as well as two new variables (accessibility to multi-use paths calculated by ArcGIS and a clustering effect represented by spatial autocorrelation) at two levels (level 1: binary choice of cycling/waking; level 2: cycling/walking time if yes at level 1) to better understand active travel demand. We use data from the 2012 Utah Travel Survey. At the first level, we use a spatial probit model to identify whether and why Salt Lake City residents walked or cycled. The second level is the development of a spatial autoregressive model for walkers and cyclists to examine what factors affect their travel time when using walking or cycling modes. The results from both levels, obtained while controlling for individual, attitudinal, and built-environment variables, show that accessibility to multi-use paths and a clustering effect (spatial autocorrelation) influence active travel behavior in different ways. Specifically, a cyclist is likely to cycle more when seeing more cyclists around. These findings provide analytical evidence to decision-makers for efficiently evaluating and deciding between plans and policies to enhance active transportation based on the two modeling approaches to assessing travel behavior described above.

Abstract:
To promote active transportation modes (such as bike ride and walking), and to create safer communities for easier access to transit, it is essential to provide consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public. The relevant and timely information from data facilitates the improvement of decision-making processes for the establishment of public policy and urban planning for sustainable growth, and for promoting public health in the region. For the characterization of the spatial variation of transportation-emitted air pollution in the Fresno/Clovis neighborhood in California, various species of particulate matters emitted from traffic sources were measured using real-time monitors and GPS loggers at over 100 neighborhood walking routes within 58 census tracts from the previous research, Children’s Health to Air Pollution Study - San Joaquin Valley (CHAPS-SJV). Roadside air pollution data show that PM2.5, black carbon, and PAHs were significantly elevated in the neighborhood walking air samples compared to indoor air or the ambient monitoring station in the Central Fresno area due to the immediate source proximity. The simultaneous parallel measurements in two neighborhoods which are distinctively different areas (High diesel High poverty vs. Low diesel Low poverty) showed that the higher pollution levels were observed when more frequent vehicular activities were occurring around the neighborhoods. Elevated PM2.5 concentrations near the roadways were evident with a high volume of traffic and in regions with more unpaved areas. Neighborhood walking air samples were influenced by immediate roadway traffic conditions, such as encounters with diesel trucks, approaching in close proximity to freeways and/or busy roadways, passing cigarette smokers, and gardening activity. The elevated black carbon concentrations occur near the highway corridors and regions with high diesel traffic and high industry. This project provides consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public including: 1. Transportation-related particle pollution data 2. Spatial analyses of geocoded vehicle emissions 3. Neighborhood characterization for the built environment such as cities, buildings, roads, parks, walkways, etc.
