Abstract:

Background:Initiatives to promote utility cycling in countries like Australia and the US, which have low rates of utility cycling, may be more effective if they first target recreational cyclists. This study aimed to describe patterns of utility cycling and examine its correlates, among cyclists in Queensland, Australia.Methods:An online survey was administered to adult members of a state-based cycling community and advocacy group (n = 1813). The survey asked about demographic characteristics and cycling behavior, motivators and constraints. Utility cycling patterns were described, and logisti

Abstract:

Many cities promote cycling as an environmentally friendly and healthier mode of urban transport. The challenge often is bigger than anticipated, as it involves inducing behavioural change among different groups of actors and reaching agreement about the reallocation of scarce resources. Recent experiences in Bangkok are illustrative. Here, multi-year efforts by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to promote cycling have yielded only partial success. Recreational cycling has increased, but utility cycling much less so. A gap remains between what the BMA delivers in terms of pro-cycli

Abstract:

The increased popularization of cycling has brought an increase in cycling-related injuries, which has been suggested to be associated with muscle fatigue. However, it still remains unclear on the utility of different EMG indices in muscle fatigue evaluation induced by cycling exercise. In this study, ten cyclist volunteers performed a 30-second all-out cycling exercise after a warm-up period. Surface electromyography (sEMG) from vastus lateralis muscle (VL) and power output and cadence were recorded and EMG RMS, MF and MPF based on Fourier Transform, MDF and MNF based on wavelet packet transf

Abstract:

Cycling can be particularly beneficial for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. First, because it can allow them to access opportunities that by other modes they may not afford. Secondly, because it can increase their physical activity levels and, consequently, improve their health. We analyse the extent to which socioeconomic disadvantage impacts on cycling participation in England, for both leisure and utility cycling. Then, we explore the extent to which this impact could be explained by the environment in which disadvantaged populations live. The study population includes 167,178 i

Abstract:

Studying active transportation (walking or cycling) is widespread in American and European research. Studies which include latent variables (LV) are growing to identify the exact results of determining the strategies to increase the utility of active transportation (AT). LVs help us conduct more accurate research. LVs are defined as psychological factors such as feeling safe while you ride at night, and thus they are not subjective and hard to understand, but very important to consider in order to increase the utility of using AT modes.

Abstract:

Subduction zones are geologically dramatic features, with much of the drama being driven by the movement of water. The “light and lively” nature of boron, coupled with its wide variations in isotopic composition shown by the different geo-players in this drama, make it an ideal tracer for the role and movement of water during subduction. The utility of boron ranges from monitoring how the fluids that are expelled from the accretionary prism influence seawater chemistry, to the subduction of crustal material deep into the mantle and its later recycling in ocean island basalts.

Enhanced capacitive behaviors of EC prototypes were observed upon prolonged voltammetric cycling which could be associated with microstructural transformation of MnO2thin-film electrodes from densely packed plate-like to irregular petal-like surface morphology. Effects of voltammetric scan rates, prolonged voltammetric cycling, electrolyte compositio

Abstract:

In the last 20 yr, near-infrared diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) has been developed for providing a noninvasive estimate of microvascular blood flow (BF) as a BF index (BFi) in the human skin, muscle, breast, brain, and other tissue types. In this study, we proposed a new motion correction algorithm for DCS-derived BFi able to remove motion artifacts during cycling exercise. We tested this algorithm on DCS data collected during cycling exercise and demonstrated that DCS can be used to quantify muscle BFi during dynamic high-intensity exercise. In addition, we measured tissue regional ox

Abstract:

The integration of outdoor smartphone applications with fitness trackers has introduced new opportunities and challenges for user interaction, particularly in mobility-driven activities. While these innovations offer significant benefits, they also pose challenges due to the many factors influencing the user’s quality of experience. Traditional methods of assessing user experiences, such as offline surveys and static questionnaires, often fail to capture the dynamic nature of outdoor activities. This research proposes a novel Quality of Experience (QoE) methodology for mobile applications to e

Abstract:

Ki67 represents an immunohistochemical nuclear localized marker that is widely used in surgical pathology. Nuclear immunoreactivity for Ki67 indicates that cells are cycling and are in G1- to S-phase. The percentage of Ki67-positive tumor cells (Ki67 index) therefore provides an estimate of the growth fraction in tumor specimens. In breast cancer (BC), tumor cell proliferation rate is one of the most relevant prognostic markers and Ki67 is consequently helpful in prognostication similar to histological grading and mRNA profiling-based BC risk stratification. In BCs treated with short-term preo

Abstract:

The drive towards carbon neutrality has prompted the worldwide expansion of utility-scale solar facilities. Previous studies have reported the positive effects of solar facilities’ installation on pasture productivity and biodiversity in arid regions. However, our understanding of how solar facilities influence a wide range of ecosystem functions simultaneously, and the relative contributions of soil microbial attributes, remains incomplete. To address this gap, we assessed the changes in ecosystem multifunctionality following solar facility installation in an alpine desert grassland in the Qi

Abstract:

This paper presents a micro-mechanistic approach for modeling fatigue damage initiation due to cyclic creep in eutectic Pb-Sn solder. Damage mechanics due to cyclic creep is modeled with void nucleation, void growth, and void coalescence model based on micro-structural stress fields. Micro-structural stress states are estimated under viscoplastic phenomena like grain boundary sliding, its blocking at second-phase particles, and diffusional creep relaxation. In Part II of this paper, the developed creep-fatigue damage model is quantified and parametric studies are provided to better illustrate

Abstract:

Providing a sufficiently appropriate route environment is crucial to ensuring fair and safe biking, thus encouraging cycling as a sustainable mode of transport. At the same time, better understanding of cyclists’ preferences regarding the features of their routes and their infrastructure requirements is fundamental to evaluating improvement of the current infrastructure or the development of new infrastructure. The present study has two objectives. The first is to investigate cyclists’ route preferences by means of a choice experiment based on a stated preference survey. Subsequently, the seco

Abstract:

Abstract Power systems are responding to climate change both through efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and through adaptive responses to the effects of climate change, such as changes in hydroelectric generation. These changes, experienced together, may cause new patterns in plant operations or pollutant emissions. Various scenarios representing future climate change mitigation and adaptation in the power sector were explored using the PLEXOS production-cost model, with a focus on plant utilization and behaviour, total system-operating costs and total CO2 emissions.

Abstract:

Due to the advantages of high capacity, low working voltage, and low cost, lithium-rich manganese-based material (LMR) is the most promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries; however, the poor cycling life, poor rate performance, and low initial Coulombic efficiency severely restrict its practical utility. In this work, the precursor Mn2/3Ni1/6Co1/6CO3 was obtained by the continuous co-precipitation method, and on this basis, different doping levels of aluminum–magnesium were applied to modify the electrode materials by high-temperature sintering.
