Park green space is an important part of the infrastructure in a city, and urban park accessibility indicator for measuring city’s comprehensive strength, living environment, resident happiness, which greatly affects sustainable development construction city. The spatial syntax method can discuss parks from perspective topology, inherits objective stability topological relationship. There are f...

Space-time accessibility measures have received much attention in recent years due to their sensitivity to differences in individual ability to participate in activities in space and time. Despite the conceptual attractiveness and robustness of space-time measures, only few attempts have been made to operationalize them to date. Research that seeks to improve space-time accessibility measures i...

SK-Tmap API Conefor 2.6 are used analyze space connectivity, respectively. Multiple regression analyses conducted using variables following three characteristics: space, housing, regio...

The production of complex sequences like music or speech requires the rapid and temporally precise production of events (e.g., notes and chords), often at fast rates. Memory retrieval in these circumstances may rely on the simultaneous activation of both the current event and the surrounding context (Lashley, 1951). We describe an extension to a model of incremental retrieval in sequence produc...

METHODS Data derived from the Danish National Health Interview Survey 2005, a cross-sectional survey based on a region-stratified random nationally represen...

This research is part of the Scottish Government’s GreenHealth project. It asks if there is a link between green space and stress in deprived urban communities. Overall, it finds evidence that more urban green space is favourably associated with lower levels of selfreported stress and reduced physiological stress, as indicated by diurnal salivary cortisol patterns in a sample of middle-aged men...
