Do school-going children with more active modes of morning commutes walk more throughout the day?
… activity is to have students adopt more active commutes. However, empirical health studies suggest that students respond to physical activity interventions by cutting down their activity throughout the rest of the day. If such compensatory behavior occurs in response to commuting-based physical …

A regional assessment of transit-oriented office development opportunities in Boston's suburbs
… peak riders use the train for suburb-to-suburb commutes or reverse city-to-suburb commutes, and a very small share of Eastern Massachusetts suburban office jobs are directly accessed via Commuter Rail alone. This disconnect between the Commuter Rail and suburban office employment locations …

Commuting Analysis in a Small Metropolitan Area - A Case Study of Bowling Green/Warren County, Kentucky
<p>In previous studies of urban commutes, little attention has been paid to commute patterns in smaller urban areas. In this study, the concept of "excess commute" (EC) is applied to the Bowling Green-Warren County Metropolitan Statistical Area (BGWCMSA) in Kentucky. EC quantifies the portion of …

To drive, or not to drive: Mode choice in daily commute
… to use a maximum of two modes for their weekly commutes. The second study was developed based on the previous findings that all types of commuters were strongly committed towards their usual modes despite having different reasons to use their modes. Thus, the study sought to investigate how …

The Hilbert Transform as an Average of Dyadic Shift Operators
… A linear and bounded operator T in L2(R) that commutes with translations, dilations and anticommutes with reflections must be a constant multiple of Hilbert transform; T = cH. Using this principle Stefanie Petermichl showed that we can write H as a suitable average of dyadic operators [Pet]. …

Rectification of Composition Tableaux
… show this rectification of a composition tableau commutes with the rectification of a reverse semi-standard Young tableau. Rectification of reverse semi-standard Young tableaux is used to define evacuation of reverse semi-standard Young tableaux. We define evacuation for composition tableaux using …

Estimating schoolchildren's pollutant dose of NO₂ while walking to school in Auckland using GIS-based spatial analysis and land use regression model
… schoolchildren's exposure during their daily commutes from home to school that comprises the main exposure in their daily routine. However, this estimation is still challenging at population scales because of the difficulty in predicting the local variation of air pollutants and modelling …

Shared E-scooter Adoption and Mode Substitution Patterns
… other classes), well-educated, and wealthy. The commutes class (28.2%) tends to involve short rides during weekday daytime for work/school-related trips, most of which would replace active modes. Most commutes users are low-income young students with diverse racial backgrounds and limited access …

Inline skates designed for travel over short distances
… would make inline skates worth using for short commutes. Characteristics identified include the ability to fit over various types of footwear, the ability to put on at take off the skate quickly and the fold the skates for easy storage when not in use. A working prototype has been developed to …

Regional Airline Pilot Commute: How Commuting by Air Affects Pilots' Satisfaction with Life
… pilots alike lack proper understanding how pilot commutes by airplane affect satisfaction with life. There are numerous studies on how commuting by vehicle, bicycle, mass transit system, or walking (traditional commute) to and from work affects one’s satisfaction with life. There are no identified …

Mothers' Lived Experience of Parenting an Infant/Young Child with Special Needs in a Rural Context
… needs face unique challenges including long commutes, accessing reliable information about funding and respite services and limited social networking opportunities. The findings can inform nurses, researchers and policy makers developing strategies to mitigate these challenges and better …

Asymptotic behavior of the solutions to a family of PDE's arising from the chemotaxis equations of Keller and Segal
… A is a non-negative, self-adjoint operator which commutes with the Laplacian. The operator is considered to have eigenvalues lambda n = nrholambda1, and the system is considered on [0,1] x [0,T] with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. The operators which lead to global solutions and those …

Approximate inverse scattering using pseudodifferential scaling
… However, the normal operator approximately commutes with pseudodifferential operators, hence shares their near diagonality in a frame of localized monochromatic pulses. Estimation of a diagonal representation in this frame encoded in the symbol of the normal operator: (1) follows from its …

Labour market and spatial mismatch in Cape Town

Does Carpooling To/From Work Reduce Stress?
… people (including the investigator) have long commutes to/from work everyday. Long commutes are not only costly, but they are also very stressful. The reason for conducting this research study is to make adults aware that there are carpooling options available. Many adults may not realize the …

Data-fused urban mobility applications for smart cities

Closed orbits in quotient systems
… a finite group G act on X, where the action of G commutes with T and where we let X0 = G\X be the quotient of the action, then it is indeed possible to say a bit more about the relationship between the count of closed orbits of (X, T) and its quotient system (X0 , T0 ). In this thesis, we will …
