During the long nineteenth century, Western publics experienced the invention and proliferation of commercial games for children. Card games, board games, and other parlor games were no longer for adults only; these new offerings formalized some aspe...
Around the globe, Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are well established in the daily workflow of authorities, businesses and non-profit organisations. GIS can effectively handle spatial entities and offer sophisticated analysis and modelling fun...
Urban space is the social field in which religious diversity in contemporary Italy becomes most evident and where religious groups compete for visibility, recognition, and places of worship. The sites of so-called minorities can be observed as indica...
The making of a land patrimony for the benefit of religious missions is profoundly linked to territorial construction in the colonies but is rarely examined from the angle of ecclesiastical governmentality over the ceded lands. This analysis highligh...
In recent years, there has been collected evidence suggesting that increased usage of navigation assistance systems has a harmful effect on spatial cognition, including spatial knowledge acquisition. Previously, we proposed a potential remedy called...
In conjunction with Earth’s ongoing global warming, the Southwest China (SWC) region has become a fascinating case study on the control of local climate change. Moreover, an entire period of climate change may partially mask the patterns in som...
Geodesign and accessibility-oriented planning require fine-grained spatial evidence on how pedestrian networks and streetscape conditions connect accommodation with publicly accessible coastal resources. This study examines associations between route...
Many falls in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) occur during daily activities such as negotiating obstacles or changing direction. While increased gait variability is a robust biomarker of fall risk in PwMS, gait variability in more ecologically...
Background: A stroke often bequeaths surviving patients with impaired neuromusculoskeletal systems subjecting them to increased risk of injury (e.g., due to falls) even during activities of daily living. The risk of injuries to such individuals can b...
Few empirical studies on the effect of tourism impacts on residents’ support for tourism development have linked an environmental justice perspective with sustainable tourism. This study aims to explore spatial distributive differences in resid...
Existing models of spatial relations do not consider that different concepts exist on different levels in a hierarchy and in turn that the spatial relations in a given scene are a function of the specific concepts considered. One approach to determin...
Composting is generally accepted as the sustainable recycling of biowaste into a useful and beneficial product for soil. However, composting processes can produce gases that are considered air pollutants. In this dataset, we summarized the spatial an...
This paper proposes a novel design of shielded two-turn near-field probe with focus on high sensitivity and high electric field suppression. A comparison of different two-turn loop topologies and their influence on the probe sensitivity in the freque...
A human-like driving model can help to improve the acceptance and safety of automated driving systems (ADS). To improve the performance of human-like driving and interaction with conventional vehicles of ADS, the speed behavior of left-turn vehicles...
OpenStreetMap (OSM) road networks provide public digital maps underlying many spatial applications such as routing engines and navigation services. However, turning relationships and time restrictions at OSM intersections are lacking in these maps, p...
Inter-turn short-circuit faults in power transformers generate enormous short-circuit currents within the affected turns, making full-scale experimental investigations impractical. To address this issue, this study proposes an experimental method uti...
With the boom in online information, knowledge graphs like Freebase, Wikidata, and YAGO have emerged, thanks to the introduction of the RDF (Resource Description Framework). As RDF data grew, more and more spatial data was incorporated into it. While...
Intersection left-turn decision-making remains challenging for autonomous vehicles because the ego vehicle must select safe and efficient maneuvers under uncertain surrounding-vehicle motion, constrained conflict-region space, and strict requirements...
Humans tend to misrepresent spatial information which leads to systematic errors due to distorted organizational processes regarding metric and positional judgments. This study is aimed at analyzing metric and positional distortions in cognitive maps...
The spatial and temporal distribution of dust devils (DDs) in the two pre-selected landing regions (ZA and ZB) of the Tianwen-1 mission in southern Utopia Planitia have been investigated by using images from the Context Camera (CTX) of the Mars Recon...
Among spatial information applications, SpatialHadoop is one of the most important systems for researchers. Broad analyses prove that SpatialHadoop outperforms the traditional Hadoop in managing distinctive spatial information operations. This paper...

This research utilizes the environmental Kuznets curve to demonstrate the interrelationship between economic growth, industrial structure, and water quality of the Xiangjiang river basin in China by employing spatial panel data models. First, it obta...
Internal temperature monitoring is an important approach for assessing the operating condition of power transformers. Temperature-rise characteristics not only indicate faults such as inter-turn short circuits but also indirectly reflect the diffusio...
The paper presents a two-step technique for real-time track detection in single-track railway sidings using low-cost MEMS gyroscopes. The objective is to reliably know the path the train has taken in a switch, diverted or main road, immediately after...
Traditional Japanese orchards control the growth height of fruit trees for the convenience of farmers, which is unfavorable to the operation of medium- and large-sized machinery. A compact, safe, and stable spraying system could offer a solution for...
This study constructs a framework for evaluating urban spatial resilience based on five dimensions: scale, intensity, morphology, function, and benefit. Likewise, it empirically analyzes the spatial differences and influencing factors of urban spatia...
Irrespective of the heuristic value of interpretations of developmental processes in terms of gene regulatory networks (GRNs), larger-angle views often suffer from: (i) an inadequate understanding of the relationship between genotype and phenotype; (...
The AdMos receiver from Advanced Sport Instruments is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) frequently used in alpine ski racing, with users from national and professional teams. Therefore, a validation was conducted for use of the AdMos in alp...
Although extensive evidence notes a nonlinear relationship between urban greenspace and wellbeing, the conditional role of spatial patterns in this relationship has rarely been examined. To address this gap, this study investigates whether and how la...
