This study focuses on the sequence stratigraphy and the dominated seismic facies in the Central Taranaki basin. Four regional seismic sequences namely SEQ4 to SEQ1 from bottom to top and four boundaries representing unconformities namely H4 to H1 fro...

For current territory development planning in China, city center accessibility (CCA) has gained increasing attention for evaluating the expansion of urban areas. How should CCA and its differences between the automobile and public transit (PT) modes...

Geospatial data has proven useful for monitoring urbanization and guiding sustainable development in rapidly urbanizing regions. The United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 11.3.1 leverages geospatial data to estimate...

In patients with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), non-invasive mapping could locate the PVCs’ origin on a personalized 3-dimensional (3D) heart model and, thus, facilitate catheter ablation therapy planning. The aim of our report is t...

Landscape permanence is understood as the temporal extent of the dominance of a given type of landscape, expressed by the temporal continuity of its use. This issue, already being the subject of much research, is important in proper landscape protect...

This study presents an integrated and reproducible framework for within-tier screening of potential healthcare accessibility in Bangkok. Facilities in three service tiers (primary 294 units, regular 75, referral 29) are analyzed using point-pattern d...

Urban settlements often deal with the massive transportation problems caused by mixed land-use development and improper travel services. This situation propels travel accessibility issues within urban centers. This research is intended to focus on th...

Microstructural deformation and the age of monazite (Ce) from diatectite granite of the presumably impact Jarva-Varaka structure in the Kola Region (northeastern Fennoscandian Shield) are presented. Biotite diatectite granite forms lenses in the alum...

Ultrafine grained sheets were prepared from a twin-roll cast AA8006 aluminium alloy using accumulative roll-bonding process at room temperature. The evolution of microstructure of sheets after three accumulative roll-bonding passes during isochronal...

The use of natural protected areas has been analyzed abundantly in the relevant literature, although on many occasions these areas are studied from the viewpoint of their role as a tourist destination in themselves, while neglecting their role as a t...

Urbanisation processes have led to the emergence of functional and formal hybrids, blurring and fragmenting the traditional boundaries between urban and rural areas. Agricultural parks have emerged as a planning tool to govern these hybrid areas betw...

The aim of this paper is to develop a case study of the recent situation of a bike-sharing service in a chosen small urban area. Žilina is situated in northern Slovakia, with a population exceeding 80,000 and an area of 80.03 km². This study rep...

Urban green spaces (UGS) provide numerous benefits, but challenges in availability and accessibility often limit their full potential. This study assesses equity and disparities in car-based accessibility to Large Urban Green Spaces (LUGS > 8 ha)...

The present paper aims to be useful for public transport operators and municipalities, as it should enable them to make decisions and to optimize public transport schedules during peak hours. In this study, we outline the data and the means necessary...

Catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with systolic heart failure remains a critical yet challenging area of non-pharmacological therapy. Despite positive outcomes in atrial fibrillation, evidence for the efficacy of VT ablat...

This paper aims to map the degree of implementation of the 15-min city model in a medium-sized city like Seville and analyze the demographic, economic, and structural characteristics that affect the varying degree of implementation of the model. To t...

Sustainable urban mobility is gaining importance as cities seek to address congestion and environmental concerns, with cycling infrastructure being an essential component of urban transportation systems. This study proposes a novel integrated, data-d...

The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is an open standard format for recording transit information, utilized by thousands of transit agencies worldwide. In this study, a new tool named GTFS2STN for converting GTFS data into the spatiotemporal...

Cities play a central role in territorial development, acting as engines of economic growth, innovation, and social well-being. However, contemporary urban challenges, such as socio-spatial segregation, environmental degradation, and mobility constra...

Electric resistivity sounding and tomography, as well as electromagnetic sounding, are the classical methods frequently used for hydrogeological studies. In this work, we propose the development and implementation of an original integrated approach u...

Population migration, accompanied by urbanization, has led to an increase in the urban-settled population. However, quantitative studies on the distribution of urban-settled population, especially at fine scale, are limited. This study explored the r...

Air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter (PM), poses significant health risks to vulnerable populations such as children, older adults, and individuals with chronic illnesses. Understanding the spatial distribution of these populations and...

Proximity-oriented planning aims to deliver everyday services within a short walk, yet closeness does not guarantee usable access for all residents. This study quantifies the gap between spatial proximity and functional accessibility in Timișoar...

This work focuses on a ca. 55 km-long extensional fault zone buried underneath the foredeep deposits of the southern Apennines, Italy, with the goal of deciphering the Cenozoic fault growth mechanisms in the Outer Apulian Platform. By considering pub...

Objective: There is a demand to make hospital management information beyond basic key performance indicators (KPIs) accessible for clinicians. Methods: We developed an interactive application (IAPP) in R Shiny to visualize such information. We provid...

As a regional management unit to solve "urban diseases,” metropolitan areas are gradually attracting widespread attention. How to objectively and accurately delineate the boundaries of a metropolitan area is the primary prerequisite for carryin...

Areas characterised by high ecological and cultural value are increasingly exposed to overtourism and intensifying land-use pressures, often exacerbated by mobility policies aimed at enhancing regional accessibility and promoting tourism. These dynam...
