In this paper, we describe an automatic people-counting system based on a wireless sensor network at a mountain area. Several people-counting systems have been proposed separately. However, these systems are not suitable to a place such as the mountain area because of a few problems. In this paper, we develop a system which can count the number of visiting people and sense environment informati...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Studies of local floral adaptation in response to geographically divergent pollinators are essential for understanding floral evolution. This study investigated local pollinator adaptation and variation in floral traits in the rewarding orchid Gymnadenia odoratissima, which spans a large altitudinal gradient and thus may depend on different pollinator guilds along this gradi...

A sizeable body of literature reveals a strong relationship between mode choice and health status. Therefore, society would benefit from travel if transportation urban planners motivated more individuals to satisfy their desire for by active rather than motorized transportation. Despite rich existing about the relations built environment travel, we still need address some research gaps in expla...

In this paper using the critical point theory of Chang [4] for locally Lipschitz functionals we prove an existence theorem for noncoercive Neumann problems with discontinuous nonlinearities. We use the mountain-pass theorem to obtain a nontrivial solution.

We survey old and new regularity theory for the Monge-Ampère equation, show its connection to optimal transportation, and describe the regularity properties of a general class of Monge-Ampère type equations arising in that context.

This paper aims to show the existence of nontrivial solutions for discrete elliptic boundary value problems by using the “Mountain Pass Theorem”. Some conditions are obtained for discrete elliptic boundary value problems to have at least two nontrivial solutions. The results obtained improve the consequences of the known literature [Guang Zhang, Existence of nontrivial solutions for discrete el...
