Big Data has begun to create significant impacts in urban and transport planning. This paper covers the explosion data-driven research on cycling, most of which occurred last ten years. We review techniques, objectives findings a growing number studies we have classified into three groups according nature data they are based on: GPS (spatio-temporal collected using global positioning system (GPS)), live point journey data. discuss movement from small-scale 'Big GPS' sets held by fitness...
Bicycle sharing systems exist in hundreds of cities around the world, with aim providing a form public transport associated health and environmental benefits cycling without burden private ownership maintenance. Five have provided research data on journeys (start end time location) taking place their bicycle system. In this paper, we employ visualization, descriptive statistics spatial network analysis tools to explore system usage these cities, using techniques investigate features specific...
In this paper, we present how mobile electroencephalography, or EEG, is becoming a relevant tool of urban studies, including among others, spatial cognition, architecture, design and planning. Mobile EEG research methodology that requires tightly controlled experiments complicated analytical tools, but it increasingly used beyond the clinical context to monitor brain function cognition in real world. It unravel our understanding neural processes enable perception while also applied study...
Big changes to the way in which research funding is allocated UK universities were brought about Research Excellence Framework (REF), overseen by Higher Education Funding Council, England. Replacing earlier Assessment Exercise, purpose of REF was assess quality and reach universities-and allocate accordingly. For first time, this included an assessment 'impact', accounting for 20% allocation. In article we use a text mining technique investigate interpretations impact put forward via case...
There is increasing interest in how horizontal collaboration between parcel carriers might help alleviate problems associated with last-mile logistics congested urban centers. Through a detailed review of the literature on pertaining to collaboration, along practical insights from operating United Kingdom, this paper examines challenges that will be faced optimizing multi-carrier, multidrop collection, and delivery schedules. A “freight traffic controller” (FTC) concept proposed. The FTC...
Although there has been a drive in the cultural heritage sector to provide large-scale, open data sets for researchers, we have not seen commensurate rise humanities researchers undertaking complex analysis of these their own research purposes. This article reports on pilot project at University College London, working collaboration with British Library, scope out how best high-performance computing facilities can be used facilitate needs humanities. Using institutional data-processing...
Abstract Background Intraoperative diagnosis of sentinel node metastases enables an immediate decision to proceed axillary lymph dissection, avoiding a second operation in node-positive women with breast cancer. Methods An optical scanner was developed that interrogated the cut surface bivalved, but otherwise unprocessed, nodes pulses white light by elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS). The scattered underwent spectral analysis, and individual spectra were initially correlated conventional...
Maps are currently experiencing a paradigm shift from static representations to dynamic platforms that capture, visualize and analyse new data, bringing different possibilities for exploration research. The first objective of this paper is present map illustrates, the time, real flow casual cyclists bike messengers in city Madrid. second describe development results Madrid Cycle Track initiative, an online platform launched with aim collecting cycling routes other information volunteers. In...
Transit-oriented development (TOD) is receiving increasing attention from planners and policymakers as an essential strategy for addressing urban travel inequalities air pollution. As analytical method based on the conceptual construct of TOD, node-place-design (NPD) model utilized by researchers to assess TOD in public transport systems. However, current research prioritizes local perspectives station fails identify functions stations at system level. In addition, few TOD-related analyses...
A novel method for rapidly detecting metastatic breast cancer within excised sentinel lymph node(s) of the axilla is presented. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) a point-contact technique that collects broadband optical spectra sensitive to absorption and tissue. statistical discrimination algorithm was generated from training set nearly 3000 clinical used test collected an independent nodes. Freshly nodes were bivalved mounted under fiber-optic plate. Stepper motors raster-scanned probe...
Most techniques for measuring tissue concentrations of drugs are invasive, time-consuming, and often require the removal or body fluids. Optical pharmacokinetics (OP) is a minimally invasive alternative giving an immediate result. Pulses white light directed at interest using fiber optic probe. Scattered detected by second immediately adjacent to first in same probe (separation 1.7 mm). Using photosensitizer disulfonated aluminium phthalocyanine ( AlS 2 Pc ), OP measurements were made...
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a standard diagnosis procedure to determine whether breast cancer has spread the glands in armpit (the axillary nodes). The metastatic status of sentinel first chain that drains affected breast) determining factor surgery between conservative lumpectomy and more radical mastectomy including excision. traditional assessment requires sample preparation pathologist interpretation. An automated elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) scanning device was constructed...
In this article we describe some innovative methods for observing the possible impacts of roads, junctions and pathways (movement infrastructures), on community life in terms their affordances hindrances social connectivity. seeking to observe these impacts, combined a range visualization research methods, based qualitative points-data mapping, graphic representation urban morphological analysis at local global geographic scales. Our overall aim study was develop exploratory combining...
This article presents PICKS (Post dIsCiplinary Knowledge Space), a research mapping prototype developed to support cross-disciplinary into urban sustainability.PICKS is an interactive map of researchers and their interests, which combines self-reported institutionally generated data within framework that demonstrates the epistemic communities existing across traditional disciplinary divisions.The force-directed graph visualization, prototyped both in Processing d3.js, offers novel way...
