The work described in this paper focuses on how to reveal culturally-related data to city tourists to help them in navigating both the physical space through which they are moving (the cityscape) and a conceptual space around points of interest which links them through shared stories of time, place, people and theme (the datascape). The research goal is to discover to what extent navigational s...

physical activity has physiological, psychological, and social positive effects. however, the relationship between physical activities and depression of the elderly in the country is unknown. this study was designed to examine the relationship between physical activity and depression. the statistical population consisted of the elderly of arak city in 2013 and 263 subjects participate in the st...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the availability and accessibility of physical activity resources differed by neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) in a small U.S. city (population = 133,046). U.S. census tracts (N =32) were used to represent neighborhoods and categorized into high, medium, or low SES on the basis of the percentage of unemployed individuals, per capita inco...

Based on heights, weights, chest girths and sitting heights of about 80,000 school children aged 6-14 in Kyoto city measured at the periodic school health examinations in April of 1966, the correlations and some of the partial correlations among these four physical variables and the regression of weight on other physical variables were presented for every age group of boys and girls. The correl...

With the rapid growth of information and communication technologies, the attempt for more convenient, safe, and sustainable urban development has been going around the world. The Korean government has launched a R&D project to develop a new software platform that supports the smart city applications such as transportation, anti-disaster, anti-crime, and eco-friendly environment. This paper repo...

BACKGROUND Centers for Disease Control (CDC) data suggest that Latinos are less likely to be physically active and more likely to be overweight and suffer from resulting complications than are Whites and that within the Latino population, Latina women are especially at risk. Therefore, promoting physical activity among Latinos, and understanding gender participation patterns within that populat...

The Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) is a novel class of Internet of Things (IoT), and is defined as the network of smart interconnected underwater objects. IoUT is expected to enable various practical applications, such as environmental monitoring, underwater exploration, and disaster prevention. With these applications, IoUT is regarded as one of the potential technologies toward developi...

We propose a cyber-physical platform that combines road traffic simulation, network simulation, and physically simulated vehicles to facilitate extensive testing on various levels of vehicular systems. Our design integrates physical and digital vehicle simulation into a common development and testing environment. This paper describes the platform design and presents prototypical implementations...

In urban semantic digital libraries, users need to access heterogeneous types of resources in order to achieve a given task. Contextualisation is known to increase the understanding of documents. With the use of 3D city models, we propose an alignment model that correlates, using the semantic annotations, the different resources of the repository with the different objects contained in the 3D m...
