Walking time prediction aims to deduce waiting time and travel time for passengers and provide a quantitative basis for the subway schedule management. This model is founded based on transfer passenger flow and type of pedestrian facilities. Chaoyangmen station in Beijing was taken as the learning set to obtain the relationship between transfer walking speed and passenger volume. The sectional ...

Courtship behaviours allow animals to interact and display their qualities before committing to reproduction. In fly courtship, the female decides whether or not to mate and is thought to display receptivity by slowing down to accept the male. Very little is known on the neuronal brain circuitry controlling female receptivity. Here we use genetic manipulation and behavioural studies to identify...

conclusions the current study showed the effectiveness of hbm in adoption of nutrition and walking behaviors as well as the increase of bone density to prevent osteoporosis. results immediately and six months after the intervention, a significant increase was found in the intervention group’s health beliefs, nutrition, and walking performances to prevent osteoporosis. six months after the inter...

background motor intervention plays an important role in reducing the disabilities of down syndrome (ds). a lack of balance and postural control has created motor problems in ds patients. therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of backward walking on postural stability of ds patients. materials and methods sixteen ds children with 8-10 age range were selected by convenience s...

background: prevention of slipping accidents requires provision of adequate friction through the use of suitable combinations of footwear and underfoot surfaces. shoe sole tread groove is one of the important factors on friction coefficient during walking. objective: to measure the effect of different shoe sole tread groove depths and different surfaces on the required quotient of friction (q),...
