Thus, we expect (2) a positive interaction between climate variables and latitude such that increasing temperature or precipitation will have stronger effects on FID at higher latitudes, where abiotic conditions are more stressful27. FIDs are shorter in cities than in rural areas because cities have...
In a city already jammed by its excessive number of cars, and where the average distance between bridges over the city’s main rivers is around 2 km, should we really invest such a large amount of government budget – $113 million, at the time – in an extravagant public work that doesn...
No significant relationships between the height component and the horizontal component were found (F1, 687 = 0.93, p = 0.336), and this independence did not vary significantly according to presence of cat colonies (F1, 676 = 0.18, p = 0.672; factor x covariate interaction). Model residuals ...
Furthermore, including only five cities with a higher density of hospitals and ambulances introduced the necessary variance in the results, thereby allowing for a comparison of the accuracy between the Euclidean and road network distance methods. This methodological choice enhances the thoroughness and ...
325). Finally, it is worth noticing that these two models share the highest adjusted R 2 values which are almost identical (0.976 for ( X 1 , X 2 , X 4 ) and 0.974 for ( X 1 , X 2 , X 3 ) ) making the distinction between them extremely hard. Thus, in this example, the ...
Therefore, from the two aspects of cooperation benefits and cooperation opportunities, we chose metrics for geographic, factor endowment, cultural, and institutional distances from the perspective of multiple distances to measure the comprehensive distance indices between China and the Belt and Road ...
