Due to the change of lifestyle and improvement of public health the number of aged people has considerably increased. Considering the relationship of the environment and people, the built environment features could exacerbate or facilitate the elderly people’s vulnerability and social needs. Recently, a large number of studies have put emphasis on the relationship between the neighborhood...

To find internal characterizations of certain images of metric spaces is one of central problems in general topology. Arhangel’skiı̆ [1] showed that a space is an open compact image of a metric space if and only if it has a development consisting of point-finite open covers, and some characterizations for certain quotient compact images of metric spaces are obtained in [3, 5, 8]. Recently, Xia [...

Provision of shade is recommended by best practice guidelines for horses living in hot, sunny environments despite a lack of research focused on potential benefits. We found in a previous study that horses without access to shade showed greater rectal temperature (RT), respiration rate (RR), and skin temperature (SK) and exhibited more sweat than horses that were completely shaded. Yet not know...

for K a compact subset of A and W an open subset of B [2]1. Now let X and Y be Hausdorff spaces, and let Z be an arbitrary topological space. Let XX Y be the topological product of X and Y. We shall be concerned with the compact-open topologized spaces Zxxr, Zx, and (ZX)Y. R. H. Fox [2] has related these spaces, taking Zx as compact-open topologized, but not considering topologies on the more c...

Daily variations in net gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence and water relations of mature, sun-acclimated grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macfady.) and orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) leaves were determined in tree canopies either shaded with 50% shade screens or left unshaded (sunlit). Mean daily maximum photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) under shade varied from 500 to 700 micromol ...

Outline-shape information may be particularly important in the recognition of depth-rotated objects because it provides a coarse shape description which gives first-pass information about the structure of an object. In four experiments, we compared recognition of silhouettes (showing only outline shape) with recognition of fully shaded images of objects, by means of a sequential-matching task. ...

Finite SLH topological spaces are characterized as partition topological spaces. As a consequence, two partial answers for a question raised in [3] are obtained. Closed-homogeneous topological spaces are characterized. Having a minimal open set is proved to be a sufficient condition for a homogeneous topological space to be closed-homogeneous. Closed-homogeneity is extended to include fuzzy top...
