Location-Based Social Media for Activity Space Modeling
Human activity research is rooted in the study of modeling the patterns of human activities in space and time. Previous studies have made prevalent progress in the theories, methods, and applications of human activity analysis. Among these studies, human activity space modeling has been a crucial …

Application of dynamic graphics techniques to the appraisal of domestic activity spaces.
… second section investigates existing domestic activity space models and determines ergonomic data for a particular space activity instance(the domestic kitchen). A novel domestic activity space model is then presented based on four penalty factors: 1.A penalty factor based on the economy of the …

Calibrating Video Capture Systems To Aid Automated Analysis And Expert Rating Of Human Movement Performance
We propose a methodology for calibrating the activity space and the cameras involved in video capture systems for upper extremity stroke rehabilitation. We discuss an in-home stroke rehabilitation system called Semi-Automated Rehabilitation At Home System (SARAH) and a clinic-based system called …

Built Environment and Risk of Obesity in the United States: A Multilevel Modeling Approach
… in the previous MLM study since people’s activity space is seldom countywide. The third study added another level (zip code area) to the MLM analysis of the BRFSS data in Utah. The results showed that at the zip code level, poverty rate and distance to parks are significant and negative …

Measuring travel equity and representativeness : opportunities and challenges of using smartphone-based travel survey in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
… the African city. The ellipse-measured monthly activity space and network-based daily activity space both suggest high travel inequity among participants in Dar. However, although accessibility is unequal (equality of welfare), it is the differences in willingness and ability to pay, rather than …

On Quaternions and Activity Classification Across Sensor Domains
Activity classification based on sensor data is a challenging task. Many studies have focused on two main methods to enable activity classification; namely sensor level classification and body-model level classification. This study aims to enable activity classification across sensor domains by …

Architecture as a Transition Space
… campus, thus making it easier to generate an activity space where both could meet throughout the year. The proposed building design reflects this "bridge" condition of the site by turning itself into an urban icon of different qualities; the building that becomes a plaza, the plaza that …

A computer-aided architectural design system for the analysis, synthesis and appraisal of domestic activity spaces and house plans.
Investigations on functional aspects of domestic activity spaces and of other related design theories have led to the formulation of novel design models for the analysis, synthesis and evaluation processes of house design. A theoretical model of the 2—D plan layout of activity spaces was first …

Addressing the uncertain geographic context problem by advanced spatial analysis approaches based on GIS and GPS for environmental health studies
… UGCoP influences research findings, proposes an activity space approaches to comprehensively assess the individual exposures to environmental contexts, and designs an innovative environmental exposure evaluation framework to spatiotemporally assess individual environmental exposure and evaluated …

Improving our understanding of the influences of the environment on physical activity
Physical activity reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, and much of the population would benefit from being more active. Public health strategies increasingly identify the environment as an important influence on activity and therefore a target for intervention. However, it is difficult to …

Ligand-based design of dopamine reuptake inhibitors : fuzzy relational clustering and 2-D and 3-D QSAR modleing
… and used for clustering. Since the feature space may or may not be Euclidean, a recently-developed fuzzy relational clustering algorithm capable of handling such data was used. Both superposition-dependent and superposition-independent features were used along with region-specific clustering …

Engineering a robotic exoskeleton for space suit simulation
Novel methods for assessing space suit designs and human performance capabilities are needed as NASA prepares for manned missions beyond low Earth orbit. Current human performance tests and training are conducted in space suits that are heavy and expensive, characteristics that constrain possible …

Urban Landscape Design for Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity of Young Seniors: A Study of Shopping-Mall-Plazas in Central Beijing
It is reported that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is associated with more successful ageing, that is, retaining good cognitive and motor functions and avoiding mental health problems. In the everyday life of senior Chinese people, MVPA is characterised by a variety of informal …
