A web-based platform to support interactive environmental planning in Southern California is currently being developed, as part of the Green Visions Plan project. The main goal is to provide tools for municipalities and community-based groups to identify candidate project sites that can: (1) promote more equitable park and open space access for local residents; (2) protect and restore biodivers...

Outdoor fitness equipment (OFE) placed in public parks has the potential to encourage physical activity. However, little is known about OFE users and use patterns. This study employed onsite and video observations of OFE usage to describe user characteristics and patterns in Xihu Park. Results indicate that OFE in this park attracted considerable use, particularly in the early morning and late ...

Check out applications park automotive ambient landscape design. Experiments have shown that can improve environmental results with high user satisfaction ec...

This paper proposes a novel user interface for semi-automatic parking assistance system, which automates steering handling during parking operation. In spite of recent progresses of automatic target position designation method, manual designation is supposed to have two important roles. First, manual designation can be used to refine the target position established by automatic designation meth...

This paper is an addendum to [4], in which the authors constructed a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with pg = 0 and K 2 = 3. Motivated by Y. Lee and the second author’s recent construction on a surface of general type with pg = 0, K 2 = 2 and H1 = Z/2Z [3], we extend the result to the K = 3 case in this paper. That is, we construct a new non-simply connected minimal su...

abstract urban parks are important public multifunctional space used for a wide range of activities. the usage levels of parks depend on the spatial characteristics of the spaces, where its forms and occupancies are referred as the usage-spatial relationship. natural elements spatial complexity and park usability is of interest in this study. a photo - questionnaire was conducted among 296 of p...

This paper focuses on the possibilities of utilizing infrastructural RFIDs for location aware computing. A key to automated computer aided work is location and situation awareness. This allows the system to operate independently from direct user input, minimizing the impact on the original process. For demonstration purposes a large area tracking system using existing RFID technology and infras...

While technology matures and becomes more productive, mobile devices can be affordable and, consequently, fully integrated in people’s lives. After their unexpected bloom and acceptance, Online Social Networks are now sources of valuable information. The authors therefore use them for tasks varying from direct marketing to forensic analysis. The authors have already seen Social Network Forensic...

The amount of integrated solar power generation capacity within the UK distribution networks is expected to continue to increase within the next few years. However, the grid has a fixed power transfer capacity, and to avoid the extra cost of power system upgrade or curtailment of renewable power, it would be necessary to store the surplus power from such nondispatchable renewable resources usin...

The paper makes a brief introduction of Multiple CarrierCode Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) scheme based on the principles of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and CDMA, and a mathematical model of the uplink is established in MC-CDMA system. The simulation research on different multi-user detection methods in MC-CDMA system is implemented by using MATLAB software, and it al...
