The average travelling speed increases in a nontrivial manner with the travel distance. This leads to scaling-like relations on quite extended spatial scales, for all mobility modes taken together and also for a given mobility mode in part. We offer a wide range of experimental results, investigating and quantifying this universal effect and its measurable causes. The increasing travelling spee...

Most people have certain acceptance of daily travel distance, which determines where they choose to live, to work, and to go for leisure. Such information is an important input for facility location-allocation, urban planning and transport management. Therefore, daily commuting distance has been adopted as an indicator to measure the distance acceptance, the rationality of land use structure, a...

studying crustal and upper mantel structures has been limited in the iranian plateau and there has been little work done in this field. in this paper we have a primary motive to map pn and sn velocities beneath most of the iranian plateau in order to test 3-d mantle models and to develop and test a method to produce pn and sn travel time correction surfaces that are the 3-d analogue of travel t...

Effective navigation requires knowledge of the direction of motion and of the distance traveled. Humans can use visual motion cues from optic flow to estimate direction of self-motion. Can they also estimate travel distance from visual motion?Optic flow is ambiguous with regard to travel distance. But when the depth structure of the environment is known or can be inferred, i.e., when the flow c...

Although the disease-relevant microtubule-associated protein tau is known to severely inhibit kinesin-based transport in vitro, the potential mechanisms for reversing this detrimental effect to maintain healthy transport in cells remain unknown. Here we report the unambiguous upregulation of multiple-kinesin travel distance despite the presence of tau, via decreased single-kinesin velocity. Int...

Routing systems have become very attractive recently. They aim to help users on finding out the optimal path to their destinations regarding travel distance, travel time, and other criteria. This paper presents a distributed architecture for networking systems which proposes a new algorithm called Coolest path, which enables multi-criteria personalization based on travel distance, travel time, ...

Access to healthcare is essential in the pursuit of universal health coverage. Components of access are availability, accessibility (spatial and non-spatial), affordability and acceptability. Measuring spatial accessibility is common approach to evaluating access to health care. This study aimed to determine the availability and spatial accessibility of subsidised mammogram screening in Peninsu...
