Most mathematical models for the spread of disease use differential equations based on uniform mixing assumptions1 or ad hoc models for the contact process2,3,4. Here we explore the use of dynamic bipartite graphs to model the physical contact patterns t
The regression results of the influencing factors of the “urban first-generation” student group’s major choice (Table8) show that (1) the influence of gender is similar to that of “rural first-generation” and “rural second-generation”. Boys are more inclined to choose social sciences, ...
Social participation has a moderating effect on the relationship between green spaces and the mental health of older adults. 2. Literature Review 2.1. Mental Health and Its Measurements The concept of mental health originated with William Sweetser, who pioneered the term ‘mental hygiene’. Subsequen...
4. Modelling Under the same analytical framework, the multidimensional fairness game model of urban housing expropriation compensation, which combines the fairness of profit-seeking, loss aversion and interaction, can effectively solve the past extreme heterogeneity judgment based on the sole consideration ...
(Rees, 1997). Ecosystems are composed of biotic and abiotic components and their interactions; and are increasingly modified by anthropogenic activities. The urban ecosystem results from the interaction of the human social system (in its widest sense: including culture, behavior, and economics) and ...
“This paper presents the concept of Building interactive Modeling (BiM) which complements the capabilities of BIM with social interaction to enhance collaborative information and knowledge sharing. Role-playing scenarios developed in Second Life demonstrate specific opportunities of BiM.” (link) ...
Urban areas are the largest source of pollutants that directly or indirectly will end up in the air, soil, and water. It is paramount to find solutions to reduce the impact of pollution on climate change, ecosystem services, biodiversity loss, and human
review, built environments interacted with social realities of poverty or marginalization to limit OFP. For instance, lack of nearby playable space contributed to social isolation and less OFP among new immigrants’ children. Conversely, neighborhood features that facilitated neighborhood interaction could ...
4but requires consistently moist soil conditions either from precipitation or irrigation, along with a significant potential evaporation demand. Despite the overall similarities in the driving processes for potential retention and cooling, no large-scale studies have systematically addressed the assessment of...
Review Reports Versions Notes Abstract The construction of high-quality urban agglomeration has become a guiding strategy for future urban development. Based on the current development status of urban agglomeration on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, the concepts of environmental protection, ...
