TeleMorph dynamically generates multimedia presentations using output modalities that are determined by the bandwidth available on a mobile device’s wireless connection. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this research TeleTuras, a tourist information guide for the city of Derry will implement the solution provided by TeleMorph, thus demonstrating its effectiveness. This paper concentrates on ...

This study attempts to examine empirically aggregate tourism outflows in the case of Turkey using the time series data for the period 1970-2005. As far as this article is concerned, there exists no previous empirical work dealing with the tourist outflows from Turkey. The previous tourism studies in the case of Turkey, by and large, focus on the inbound tourism demand analyses. As a developing ...

OBJECTIVES Radon concentrations for 31 Polish underground tourist routes were analyzed. The equivalent dose to the lung, the effective dose and the relative risk were calculated for employees of the analyzed routes on the grounds of information on radon concentrations, work time, etc. MATERIAL AND METHODS The relative risk for lung cancers was calculated using the Biological Effects of Ionizi...

In the present age of globalization, technology-revolution and sustainable development, the presence of seasonality in tourist arrivals is considered as a key policy issue that affects the global tourism industry by creating instability in the demand and revenues. The seasonal component in a time-series distorts the prediction attempts for policy-making. In this context, it is quintessential to...

Upon exiting buildings, theatres, and stadiums, which house a great number of people, egress points can act as bottlenecks, resulting in crowded exits decreased flows. Most studies investigating flow have been conducted either narrow bottlenecks (doors) or funnel shape with the latter placed middle walkway. This study investigates, for first time, crowd through funnel-shaped corner walkway make...
