BACKGROUND Proximity to parks and physical activity sites has been linked to an increase in active behaviors, and positive impacts on health outcomes such as lower rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Since populations with a low socio-economic status as well as racial and ethnic minorities tend to experience worse health outcomes in the USA, access to parks and physical acti...

We give an example of solutions the connection problem associated with a certain system linear $q$-difference equations recently introduced by Park. The result contains formulas $q$-Lauricella hypergeometric function $\varphi_{D}$ and those $q$-generalized ${}_{N+1}\varphi_{N}$ as special cases.

despite the fact that national parks and other protected areas are mostly adopting the sustainable development process, it was found that sustainability has yet to be perceived pragmatically in these areas. due to its process, this paper presents a monitoring framework approach to develop and implement indicators for sustainable tourism. to illustrate the application of the framework, a set of ...

Climate change will affect not only natural and cultural resources within protected areas but also tourism and visitation patterns. The U.S. National Park Service systematically collects data regarding its 270+ million annual recreation visits, and therefore provides an opportunity to examine how human visitation may respond to climate change from the tropics to the polar regions. To assess the...

Won{Gil Park [Won{Gil Park, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 376 (1) (2011) 193{202] proved the Hyers{Ulam stability of the Cauchy functional equation, the Jensen functional equation and the quadraticfunctional equation in 2{Banach spaces. One can easily see that all results of this paper are incorrect.Hence the control functions in all theorems of this paper are not correct. In this paper, we correctthes...

INTRODUCTION The built environment correlates of physical activity are documented in high-income countries but have yet to be studied among Mexican adults. Our objectives were to assess the associations between characteristics of the built environment and physical activity among adults in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and to examine potential moderation by perceived park and neighborhood safety. METHOD...
