The idea of building pocket parks in cities is one of the more rational proposals for utilizing cameral spaces to create new quality in terms of green areas while accounting for the potential to blend them into the compact functiospatial structure of...
Unraveling the determinants of travelers’ parking behavior intentions is critical to the widespread adoption of smart parking systems (SPSs), which hold the promise of greatly enhancing parking efficiency and optimizing resource allocation with...
As our living environment is becoming increasingly urbanized, this puts the livability, health, and quality of life in cities under pressure. Due to the urbanization process, urban green spaces are under threat of becoming scarce, while it is recogni...
At present, many new urban areas adopt the transit-oriented development (TOD) exploitation concept to achieve sustainable urban development, accurately predict parking demand under TOD exploitation, determine factors that influence demand, and establ...
Shared parking is not commonly applied in residential areas. The reason is that parking suppliers and managers believe that there are many uncertainties and conflicts in obtaining sharing benefits and taking sharing risks. To increase their acceptanc...
Parkinsonism-associated deglycase-PARK7/DJ-1 (PARK7) is a multifunctional protein having significant roles in inflammatory and immune disorders and cell protection against oxidative stress. Mutations in PARK7 may result in the onset and progression o...
