The theory of planned behaviour predicts self-reports of walking, but does not predict step count [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Objectives This paper compares multiple measures of walking in two studies, and the second study compares how well Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) constructs perform in predicting these different measures.

Walking women: shifting the tales and scales of mobility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Narratives attached to walking practices, influenced by the Romantic, Naturalist and avant-garde movements, continue to frame and prioritise aestheticised acts of walking as heroic, epic, individualist, and conquering.

On the walk

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 1997
AbstractThe Gröbner Walk is a basis conversion method proposed by Collart, Kalkbrener, and Mall. It converts a given Gröbner basis G of a (possibly positive dimensional) polynomial ideal I to a Gröbner basis G′ of I with respect to another term order. The target Gröbner basis is approached in several steps (the Walk), each performing a simpler Gröbner ...

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

Quantum walks: a comprehensive review [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum Information Processing vol. 11(5), pp. 1015-1106 (2012), 2012
Quantum walks, the quantum mechanical counterpart of classical random walks, is an advanced tool for building quantum algorithms that has been recently shown to constitute a universal model of quantum computation. Quantum walks is now a solid field of research of quantum computation full of exciting open problems for physicists, computer scientists ...

Sensitivity and specificity of measuring children's free-living cycling with a thigh-worn Fibion® accelerometer

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2023
ObjectiveCycling is an important part of children's active travel, but its measurement using accelerometry is a challenge. The aim of the present study was to evaluate physical activity duration and intensity, and sensitivity and specificity of free ...

Walking to the beat of their own drum: how children and adults meet timing constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Walking requires adapting to meet task constraints. Between 5- and 7-years old, children's walking approximates adult walking without constraints. To examine how children and adults adapt to meet timing constraints, 57 5- to 7-year olds and 20 adults ...

To Walk or Not to Walk? The Hierarchy of Walking Needs [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment and Behavior, 2005
The multitude of quality of life problems associated with declining walking rates has impelled researchers from various disciplines to identify factors related to this behavior change. Currently, this body of research is in need of a transdisciplinary, multilevel theoretical model that can help explain howindividual, group, regional, and physical ...
