BACKGROUND Although data from longitudinal studies are sparse, effort-reward imbalance (ERI) seems to affect work ability. However, the potential pathway from restricted work ability to ERI must also be considered. Therefore, the aim of our study was to analyse cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between ERI and work ability and vice versa. METHODS Data come from the Second German S...

We apply dynamical mean-field theory to strongly interacting fermions in an inhomogeneous environment. With the help of this real-space dynamical mean-field theory (R-DMFT) we investigate antiferromagnetic states of repulsively interacting fermions with spin12 in a harmonic potential. Within R-DMFT, antiferromagnetic order is found to be stable in spatial regions with total particle density clo...

Astronauts and vestibular patients face analogous challenges to orientation function due to adaptive exogenous (weightlessness-induced) or endogenous (pathology-induced) alterations in the processing of acceleration stimuli. Given some neurovestibular similarities between these challenges, both affected groups may benefit from shared research approaches and adaptation measurement/improvement st...

introduction one of the critical issues associated with sustainability in the twenty-first century is how cities are growing and developing in the space. rapid urban growth and physical development of cities cause disintegration of the spatial organization of cities and consequently spatial inequality between urban spaces. this phenomenon can be considered as spatial segregation or fragmentatio...

Sensing the nighttime economy–housing imbalance is of great importance for urban planning and commerce. As an efficient tool social sensing human observation, mobile phone data provides effective way to address this issue. In paper, indicator, data-based intensity, proposed measure degree imbalance. This indicator can distinguish vitality variations between sleep periods activity periods, which...

Due to the disadvantages of traditional localization & tracking at those aspects of users’ privacy protection, system configuration and maintenance, this paper proposes a new approach for infrared object localization and tracking with distributed wireless pyroelectric infrared sensors. A hierarchical architecture of visibility of Fresnel lens array is presented with spatial-modulated field of v...

Introduction and Motivation: fMRI is a natural source of high-dimensional time series data. Recordings are typically acquired in several hour sessions, with processing and analysis done offline. Due to the short amount of recording time available from any session, there is an imbalance between the comparatively small number of time slices and the high dimensionality of the data at each slice. A...

Bike sharing provides an environment-friendly way for traveling and is booming all over the world. Yet, due to the high similarity of user travel patterns, the bike imbalance problem constantly occurs, especially for dockless bike sharing systems, causing significant impact on service quality and company revenue. Thus, it has become a critical task for bike sharing systems to resolve such imbal...
