Poor indoor air quality reduces the comfort experienced in environment and can also harm our physical health. Mechanical ventilation design plays an important role improving safety of public toilets. Therefore, this study, we aimed to evaluate toilet schemes through a digital twin determine most effective scheme for reducing pollutant concentrations. In used Autodesk Revit create BIM different systems. We simulated diffusion pollutants these models using computational fluid dynamics...

Medical facility equality is a critical metric for determining equal access to medical care. Their spatial distribution important effective pandemic treatment and daily prevention in cities. This paper used the Kernel Density Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (KD2SFCA) shortest distance methods calculate accessibility of designated COVID-19 Fangcang hospitals fever clinics Wuhan Metropolitan Development Zone. was evaluated by Gini coefficient Lorentz curve. Several results were obtained: (1)...

Navigating narrow restrooms is challenging for the elderly using wheelchairs or walkers (EUWW). Existing research focuses on convenience of furniture use in restroom and overlooks mobility between pieces. However, floor plans accessible determine path EUWW, affecting convenience. Thus, to improve mobility, should be evaluated shorten movement distances reduce bends. Experiments constructed environments were expensive. This study instead proposes a novel path-planning based method plan...

Abstract Background and Objectives Social media has made online care facility reviews popular. By analyzing of nursing homes (NHs), managers designers can acquire insight into the perceptions older adults their families. This study aims to help improve environment NHs. Research Design Methods employed a mixed-methods approach analyze NH reviews. An inductive thematic analysis was utilized identify develop themes, followed by detailed content using Jieba, Python-based program. Also,...

During the global pandemic, COVID-19 patients' activity trajectories and actions emerge as revelatory conduits elucidating their spatiotemporal behavior transmission dynamics. This study analyzes in Nanjing Yangzhou, China, by using patient trajectory data conjunction with complex network theory. The main findings are follows: (1) evaluation of structure patients revealed that "residential areas" "vegetable markets" had highest betweenness centrality, indicating these primary nodes...
