Active commuting to school : how far is too far? [PDF]

, 2008
Walking and cycling to school provide a convenient opportunity to incorporate physical activity into an adolescent's daily routine. School proximity to residential homes has been identified as an important determinant of active commuting among children ...

Markov‐Associated Quadratic Stochastic Families and the Susceptible‐Infected‐Recovered (SIR) Model

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce a Markov‐associated construction for quadratic stochastic families generated by a symmetric cubic stochastic matrix and a finite‐state homogeneous Markov semigroup. The constructed family is not assumed to be a classical quadratic stochastic process of type (A)$$ (A) $$ or type (B)$$ (B) $$; rather, it is a Markov‐associated ...

An Integrated Numerical and Bollard Pull Evaluation Approach for Early‐Stage Resistance and Thrust Assessment of a Small Craft

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early‐stage hydrodynamic assessment of slender multihull vessels is challenged by limited geometric maturity, uncertain propulsion integration, and strong sensitivity to operating conditions. Under such constraints, reliance on a single analytical or numerical method may lead to misleading design decisions due to oversimplification or ...

Study Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of a Brief, Virtual Exposure‐Based Intervention for Perinatal Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Research in Nursing &Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perinatal posttraumatic stress disorder (PPTSD) is a public health concern with serious implications for maternal and infant health outcomes. However, clinical research for PPTSD treatment is minimal. Thus, we aim to help address this gap by evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a tailored PPTSD ...

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Common Fixed Point Theorems for a Finite Family of Discontinuous and Noncommutative Maps

Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2011
We study common fixed point theorems for a finite family of discontinuous and noncommutative single-valued functions defined in complete metric spaces.

Stabilising Routines in Complex Emergencies: How Basic Service Continuity Shapes Perceived Security

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how locally embedded actors describe the relationship between basic service continuity and perceived security in complex emergencies, with particular attention to the stabilisation of everyday routines. Using Proximity‐Predictability‐Attributability (PPA) as an analytic lens, we trace how interviewees relate access to water,

Multi‐scale flow analysis for scale‐aware urban canopy models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We found that scale‐aware models are necessary when numerical weather prediction models approach hectometric resolution, which is associated with a characteristic length‐scale of morphological heterogeneity. This morphology‐dependent length‐scale indicates that resolved and unresolved heterogeneity are equally important.

Sliding Motions on Non‐Euclidean State Spaces: A Differential‐Geometric Perspective

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper extends sliding‐mode control theory to nonlinear systems evolving on smooth manifolds. Building on differential geometric methods, we reformulate Filippov's notion of solutions, characterize well‐defined vector fields on quotient spaces, and provide a consistent geometric definition of higher‐order sliding modes.
