Active commuting to school: How far is too far?
BACKGROUND 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. The purpose of this study is to identify if distance is a barrier to active commuting among adolescents, and if there is a criterion...
متن کاملPhase transitions far from equilibrium in wet granular matter
The phase diagram of vertically agitated wet granular matter is presented, both experimentally and by simulation. We observe two phase transitions, one of which is driven by the applied force (acceleration), the other by injected energy (velocity of container walls). All observed features can be traced down to the hysteretic nature of capillary bridge formation and rupture. Other details of the...
متن کاملFar-from-equilibrium computation
We study the possibility of developing far-from-equilibrium computational systems, in analogy with corresponding self-organizing physical systems. We review the computational models developed in analogy with physical systems converging towards equilibrium and the research related to the self-organization of far-from-equilibrium physical systems. Based on this review, we define several nonequili...
متن کاملIsotropization far from equilibrium
Isotropization occurs on time scales much shorter than the thermal equilibration time. This is a crucial ingredient for the understanding of collision experiments of heavy nuclei or other nonequilibrium phenomena in complex many body systems. We discuss in detail the limitations of estimates based on standard “linear” or relaxationtime approximations, where isotropization and thermal equilibrat...
متن کاملMammography screening: how far is too far?
INTRODUCTION This study answers the question: 'How far must a Canadian woman travel before the risk of a motor vehicle accident (MVA) outweighs the benefits of mammography screening?'. METHODS Numbers needed to screen and false positive rates were extracted from information in the breast screening guidelines from the Canadian Task Force on screening for breast cancer. Motor vehicle accidents ...
