Carpooling is an informal form of commuter ride-sharing that can mitigate traffic congestion and parking demand. While carpool formation require both a driver at least one passenger, there has been lack studies explore potential users carpooling their role preferences (driver versus passenger); perceived incentives, attitudes current mode choices may affect willingness to preferences. This study examined the factors affecting individuals’ decisions using data from Ohio State University’s...

<title>Abstract</title> Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are both gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases that exhibit a significant correlation with an elevated incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the mechanisms contribute to increased risk CRC in patients suffering from IBD PSC remain poorly understood. In this study, two distinct modules were identified within cohorts by using WGCNA. Following intersection 243 genes these modules, 21...

Urban compaction is widely recognized as a key strategy for promoting sustainability, yet successful implementation cases remain rare in the United States. We use Transportation, Economic, and Land-Use Model (TELUM) to examine what extent land-use or transportation policy must be regulated make occur typical auto-dependent city, Fresno, California with five scenarios. The results from scenarios suggest that high-density development outskirt restriction can promote compaction, latter...

Objective: This study investigates changes in the neuromuscular activation pattern of lower limb muscles stroke survivors when crossing obstacles three different heights. Methods: Eight and eight age-, height- gender-matched healthy controls were recruited instructed to cross over with heights 10%, 20%, 30% leg length. Surface electromyography (EMG) signals recorded from rectus femoris (RF), biceps (BF), tibialis anterior (TA), medial gastrocnemius (MG) both limbs. Muscle normalized maximum...

Wearable robotic devices provide safe and intensive rehabilitation, enabling repeated motions for motor function recovery in stroke patients. The aim of this small case series was to demonstrate the training effects a three-week leg orthos

The carbon footprint of daily travel for an individual household is based on the types vehicles that owns, their fuel efficiency, and number miles traveled (Federal Highway Administration, 2009 Federal Administration. (2009). "carbon footprint" travel. NHTS Brief, U.S. Department Transportation. https://nhts.ornl.gov/briefs/Carbon%20Footprint%20of%20Travel.pdf. [Google Scholar]). Therefore, usage a owns are informational to overall sustainable planning. This study develops multinomial logit...

Objective . The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 have been suggested to play important roles in the initiation or progression of cancers. goal present study was investigate alterations CXCL12/CXCR4 oral premalignant lesions squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods In 13 normal epithelia, 24 dysplastic leukoplakia (OLK), 40 OSCC specimens, expressions were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results expressed 37.5% OLK 60% OSCC. detected 50% 62.5% OLK, positive ratio showed no...

This study investigated the complexity of electromyography (EMG) lower limb muscles when performing obstacle crossing tasks at different heights in poststroke subjects versus healthy controls. Five and eight controls were recruited to perform various (randomly set 10, 20, 30% leg's length). EMG signals recorded from bilateral biceps femoris (BF), rectus (RF), medial gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior during task. The fuzzy approximate entropy (fApEn) approach was used analyze signals. fApEn...

The chemokine CXCL12 and its receptors CXCR4 CXCR7 might play important roles in the occurrence development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). While expression is associated to initiation progression OSCC, role CXCR7, recently founded second receptor, has not yet been elucidated OSCC. In this study, expressions were evaluated using western blot quantitative RT-PCR OSCC cells. AMD3100 (CXCR4 antagonist) was used inhibit activation CXCR4. contrast CXCR4, effective small interfering RNA...

This study aims to compare the differences in kinematic characteristics of crossing obstacles different heights between stroke survivors and age-matched healthy controls identify changes balance control strategy risk falling. Twelve twelve aged-matched were recruited. A three-dimensional motion analysis system two force plates used measure kinetic data during with 10, 20, 30% leg length. The results showed that leading trailing limb clearance, (AP) center mass (COM) velocities group smaller...

Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been promoted worldwide as an integrated land-use and transportation strategy to foster urban sustainability. Bike share provides people with a convenient relatively affordable way enlarge the spatial scale of TODs across communities, solution first/last mile (FLM) issue respect transit nodes TODs. Even though barriers FLM have frequently studied, few studies incorporate people's perceptions their and/or integration multiuse paths (MUPs) into network...

Regional sustainability and transportation have been intensely discussed analyzed in recent decades. Though the use of indicators has adopted those models, debates continue on what should be used how to optimize number indicators. This results lack a comprehensive efficient method assess compare sub-system, such as system, overall regional sustainability. A thorough literature review is conducted identify Then, based available data, two sets for are identified calculated respectively 382...

The speed advantage in bicycling over walking is believed to ease first-and-last mile (F&amp;LM) travel and expand transit service coverage. To quantitatively investigate the potential effect of using bicycle as a F&amp;LM connector, paper measures compares impacts access on In estimation coverage, decay functions representing attractiveness public that declines with increasing walking/biking time facilities spatial boundaries catchment areas are developed GPS trajectory data collected from...
