Questions related to Recreation
What definition is used to definitively distinguish between elite and recreation/ amateur athletes?
Dear colleagues,
I am currently working on a finite element model in Abaqus where I have defined a tie constraint between surfaces in my assembly. However, during the analysis, I receive the following warning:
"Failed to locate set 'ASSEMBLY_front web/stif tie surfaces'. Tie definition will not be written to the ODB."
What I've Checked:
- The set "ASSEMBLY_front web/stif tie surfaces" exists in the Assembly Module, and I can select it.
- When I edit the tie constraint, both the master and slave surfaces are clearly displayed, indicating that they are properly connected.
- The geometry and mesh in the tied region appear correct.
- The surfaces are aligned, and no apparent gaps exist between the regions.
Despite all of this, the warning persists, and the tie constraint does not seem to be applied during the analysis.
Questions:
- Has anyone encountered a similar issue where a surface is recognized in the GUI but not during analysis?
- Could this be related to how the set is defined or exported in the input file?
- Are there specific steps I can take to debug or resolve this issue?
I have already tried recreating the set and reassigning it in the tie constraint, but the warning remains. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
Non-medical drug use---from recreation to problematic use and addiction.
What are the modern approaches to the organization and sustainable management of greenery in urbanized cities? How can ecological and recreational functions be introduced into the landscape and territorial planning of city parks?

I have read a few papers that have indicated that the sampling rate of the Polar h10 is 1000 Hz.
1) Navalta et al., Heart rate processing algorithms and exercise duration on reliability and validity decisions in biceps-worn Polar Verity Sense and OH1 wearables. Sci Rep. 2023 Jul 20;13(1):11736;
2) Schaffarczyk et al., Validity of the Polar H10 Sensor for Heart Rate Variability Analysis during Resting State and Incremental Exercise in Recreational Men and Women. Sensors (Basel). 2022 Aug 30;22(17):6536).
However, others have indicated it is 130 Hz.

Would anyone be able to confirm?
Thanks

Also, I have prepared other theories that can be likely used for the study, such as positive psychology theory to be used in the field of the criminal justice system. also I'm in need to help me determine what to write in the statement of the problem
As part of a study I am working on we need a way to count human use in the area we are trapping wildlife. Many of our locations are adjacent to recreational trails so we thought it might be best to estimate use by placing trail count cameras nearby. Has anyone used these and if so, are there any companies that produce them that you like? How difficult is the setup?
When trying to submit my model in Abaqus I get the error as shown above. I am not writing the code myself so am not able to re-order any keywords and am unsure how to fix this issue. I have had it before and fixed it simply by deleting the interaction property and recreating it but would like to avoid doing this as the property has taken some time to create so any more concrete fixes would be great!
Time stops in 3D universe. There is no way to measure distance or mass, which for any practical purpose no longer exist. If all the previous mass is expressed as kinetic energy, then a new universe can begin in a singularity, with all the energy expressed as radiant type.
Small irregularities can occur in the new CMB as evidence of the previous universe and its blackholes.
Stephen Hawking showed possibility of evaporating blackholes, a slow rate in 4D, but possibly sudden in 3D when there is no distance or mass..
It proposes a way a large old universe can be destroyed and be recreated as a new universe of low entropy in a small singularity with radiant energy, but no mass.
Do Blackholes Explode Into Gamma Rays When 4D Vacuum Decays To 3D?
Hello,
I would like to create this type of graph with my data. Can anyone tell me which software to use or how to do it?
Thank you

Hi everyone
Is it possible for you to help me?!
I am conducting research on athletes for my master's thesis in psychology. However, recruiting enough athletes is moving too slowly. Can you help me by filling out my online survey and, if possible, sharing it with your network?
Everyone aged 18 and older can participate - athletes and non-athletes, both females and males (mostly interested in athletes at this point).
All athletes, from the recreational to the Olympic level, are eligible, and it only takes about 10-15 min to complete the survey - it is completely anonymous!

Keen to hear of any examples of quantifying health and well being benefits of recreational fishing (or another recreational activity) not just identifying them.
Can we quantify the benefits in terms of x less hospitalisations, diseases, long life expectancy, or $$$ savings to the health system?
Thanks in advance!

I’m interested to know of any studies that evaluate the effect of ‘livescope’ or ‘forward facing sonar’ technological advances on recreational fisheries - particularly impacts to angler catch rates.
This technology is increasingly being used in recreational fisheries and anecdotally it results in significantly greater catch rates. Some recreational fishing tournaments have banned the use of this technology, as they feel it is an unfair advantage.
Thanks in advance for any leads.

How does activities and agè affect the people who visit the green public spaces
Hello all! I'm trying to recreate 2d map of modes for waveguide in Matlab. So I have waveguide, then border, then air. I calculate eigen vectors and values for air and structure, calculate reflective and transmission indices. And then add exponents and create map. But I don't get picture like in the article. So you can compare my picture and the one I need to get. I don't have any circular waves in the air and oscillations in structure are much smaller. How can I solve this two issues? Thank you in advance.


I am currently writing a paper using the methodology described in the paper and i wish to recreate the results.
This would be very helpful.

I want to model two volumes as shown in the graph(see file). One is a solid cylinder and the other is a solid block. In reality, the cylinder is inside the solid block, and the solid block had been rigged a hole first.
The aim is to model the pullout of the cylinder.
However, in ANSYS APDL there are two options to build the geometry
One method is just to create two solid volumes at the same time. Ignore the hole.
Another option is to create the block first, then dig a hole and then recreate the inside cylinder.
Please what is the difference between these two volume creating methods?

I‘m interested in research that addresses the theory or mechanisms of what happens when a recreation participant traverses a section of trail with high perceived risk (steep, narrow, high consequence, multiple use types, etc.) on that participants perception of the viewscape from the trail. Does the ‘field of view’ narrow? Is it different for cyclists v. Walkers?
Hi all,
I am working on a simulation project. However, I am having some problems in creating a 3D model of the blood vessels. I wonder which software would you recommend recreating the 3D models with complex structures? is there any software that allows me to manipulate the geometry and shape of the vessels without having to draw a new one?
Also, currently, I am using Comsol for blood flow simulation, is there any other software that could be used instead of Comsol?
Thank you

I want to design a phase gradient metasurface in CST. So, I am referring to and trying to recreate the unit cell from the paper I attached below but I could not obtain the phase shift like in figure 3. The closest thing I could get is the S-Parameters of S21 but the result is totally different.
FYI, I set the boundary conditions using Electrical Field for x-direction, Magnetic Field for y-direction and Open (add space) for Z-direction. I use the Frequency domain and use waveguide ports, on the +Z and -Z side.
If we study the numbers from various research companies on Indian sports viewership, we can find that its growing every year. But if we study the participation levels in sports which can be further divided into 'Professional & Recreational' there are chances of downward trend.
Please share your thoughts.
Many studies show that the most effective organic farming consists in cultivating forest stands in a formula referring to natural, complex, biologically multispecies ecosystems.
The ecological forestry formula based on the cultivation of many different species of trees and shrubs adjacent to each other, referring to the formation of a natural ecosystem, allows to eliminate chemical measures to protect forest spruce and shrubs and reduce biological fertilization.
Only the application of biologically neutral machines and technical devices to crops to correct the functioning of organic forest crops would allow the improvement of this formula and striving to achieve sustainable forestry.
Only the question of the legitimacy of using or possibly resigning from the creation of new, more resistant to various diseases and pests, new varieties of cultivated trees and shrubs through the use of genetics engineering would remain to be considered.
It is not about creation of new species of plants or animals through genetic manipulation techniques, but about breeding newer varieties of forest trees and shrubs that are more resistant to diseases and pests as a perfecting formula of cultivation referring to the natural ecosystem.
Cultivation of forest stands referring to the formula of the natural biological ecosystem should be improved by creating and introducing to these complex crops these new varieties of trees and shrubs in order to restore biological balance, which was previously significantly reduced through the widespread use of forest and forestry monoculture carried out under classic forestry.
In this way, it is possible to recreate sustainable forestry in the future in areas where classical monocultural forest crops were previously grown or in reclaimed areas.
In view of the above, I would like to ask you: should sustainable chemistry and monoculture be reduced in sustainable forestry, and forestry techniques referring to natural ecosystems should be developed?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Green infrastructure has been getting so much importance these days because people started to appreciate the value of green space and the value it adds to the water resources planning. Green infrastructure like bioswale, pervious pavements, wetlands, green traffic island, open green space all have so much impact to reduce urban flooding, augment groundwater supply by filtering rainwater and improve aesthetics of the city for various recreational activities. What would be a better choice where we solve water resources problem and make the city greener and brighter. Please comment!
Maybe I am using the wrong search words, but I can’t find any work on this topic.
Here’s what I am looking for and how I got in this corner. I use a physics-based system-level model that combines an automated Spring Mass model with a generic rotational model to compute a subject’s total Mass Specific Power (MSP, W/kg). The combined model replicates the typical 4% minimum in MSP or O2 consumption that is observed near a runner’s Preferred Step Frequency (PSF, Hz).
The combined model also predicts a decrease in PSF with increased height. (I found this effect in some reprocessed data from a paper by Rodger Kram and a dataset that I kindly received from John Rasmussen.)
I feel that the model might help explain why the observed PSF(v) dependence generally has a positive second derivative.
If you know of any research in this area, I would appreciate a citation.
Sincerely,
Ted Andresen
The combined model with the basic mathematic formulations is shown in the attached diagram

Greetings,
I am a Ph.D. student and have the following assignmnet:

I am interested in knowing if the pharmacologically-indouced inflammation of the intestine in diffretent animal models are a good way to recreate what happens to the gut of critically ill patientes.
The introduction of digitized machinery has proven to have numerous benefits in the forestry industry in terms of profit, the environment. However these advancements in technology seem to be leaving the people trailing behind. I therefore wanted to understand the impacts of these advancement on these three pillars as their advantages have already been widely studied. Are there any other social advantages that these advancements or developments may have excluding aesthetics and recreation, especially in African countries where job security is still a problem?
I am looking to speak with people, or be put in touch with people, who have research or practise in differentiation of teaching methods in private dance studios. Below is an outline of what I am proposing to research. I can be emailed at julie.barns@gmail.com Many thanks in advance!
An education in dance relies on a teacher's pedagogical knowledge and artistic experience. It is important for studio dance teachers to acquire pedagogical knowledge alongside their wealth of technical and artistic knowledge allowing them to dissect, question and change their practice to be inclusive of all dancers in their studio classes.
Private dance studios are available to anyone who wishes to learn dance, regardless of age, gender or motivation (recreational or otherwise). The dance community need to ensure best practice in teaching to ensure these studios encompass all who walk through their doors.
Historically, for studio teachers in Australia, pedagogical knowledge has been gained through osmosis, and while a studio teacher may have excellent technical knowledge the process through which this information is imparted has created a divide in the dance studio between gifted dancers and children who wish to dance recreationally, but are ostracised from the studio learning and teaching process due to a range of learning needs that are not being catered to. What could have been a powerful ongoing experience in a child's life is lost due to a teacher's inability to differentiate their teaching practices in the dance studio.
Whilst very few children who learn dance in studios go on to become professional company dancers, children do go on to become consumers of The Arts and dance in particular. These children may go on to become dance teachers, physiotherapists, set designers, or volunteers in theatres. They go on to recognise and value dance as a powerful tool for self expression, for physical wellbeing, for good mental health and self worth, for community building and for creating a culture of inclusiveness.
The research proposed will greatly benefit recreational and elite studio teachers across Australia, with the flow on effect making a difference in the cognitive, emotional and physical lives of our children.
Here is the problem. I have a variable GENDER with 2 options, MALE/FEMALE. I have a 2nd variable called FEMOPINION with 2 options YES/NO-- only the FEMALES in GENDER answered it. I have a 3rd variable called MALEOPINION wih the same 2 options YES/NO - only the MALES in GENDER answered it.
I want to create a new variable OPINION with 2 options YES/NO and put the responses from FEMOPINION and MALEOPINION in it - obviously there would be many blank fields because the females responses would only fill in where there are females and the male responses would only fill in where there are males.
I am SO STUCK on the syntax for this.
I have multiple instances where I need to do the same thing so I need a formula where the syntax logic is apparent that I can recreate over & over again.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Hi. I am a master's student.
Protein extraction was performed for western blot in mouse cells.
The process is as follows:
1. Pipette the RIPA buffer into the cell pellet.
2. Incubation on ice for 30 minutes.
3. 12000rpm, 4oC, centrifuge
4. Store only the supernatant.
After SDS-PAGE and coomassie staining, the band always appeared thick at 50 ~ 70kDa position (red box in picture). After band detection, even the house-keeping gene will not be detected.
I showed this band to my professor, and she says that cell lysis doesn't seem good.
I can't make a new sample, so I need to save it.
Is there any way to fix this sample in the present situation?
I have searched a lot of information, but it needs to changing the conditions and making a sample again ..
We can't recreate the sample right now.
Please answer me .. Have a nice day.

Thinking in terms of a social setting such as a dance, a concert, a meal, if an experiment were to be designed in such a way, how can the method be validated? Similarly, what role would reliability play in an experiment set in a social setting? How can you recreate social settings for further empirical study?
I would love to read some examples of studies if you are familiar with any!
Many thanks.
Am doing a research on surface water quality. Am trying to analysis the water for multi purpose uses like recreation, fishing, bathing and boating. But am not able to get water quality standards for different parameters(physical, chemical and biological) which will compare with the result I get.
So I am attempting to recreate a crystallization condition from a published structure. I have set up a 24-well screen that reproduces the published condition and makes very small adjustments to the concentrations of precipitant, buffer, salt, and pH. I started with a very similar concentration of protein (13.5 mg/ml vs. 14 mg/ml) and have been keeping it at a similar temperature (~ 20°C). Our ultimate goal is to produce a co-crystal structure by soaking method with a small peptide, however, when I setup the trays it was very clear that in all of the conditions my protein precipitated almost immediately. I should also note that for each condition I varied the ratio of protein:mother liquor in a 1:3, 2:2, and 3:1 fashion.
Would this indicate that my starting protein concentration is too high, or that there is some other parameter I need to play with. I thought recreating published crystallization conditions would be easier, however, I am not clear on what direction I should take next.
What can researchers do to help fisheries managers optimize fisheries management on rivers and streams? Mostly in terms of effective fish stocking, reducing fishing effort, conservation of fish species etc. I am looking for practical projects in applied research that were previously successfully implemented and beneficial to fisheries management.
Researchers has a different mind set
Whilst researching the theoretical framework of my thesis, I discovered a paper that already uses extremely similar methods to the ones that I was planning on using for one of my hypothesis, and that also uses almost the same sample. The research was made in 2008, is it thus ethical to go on with my research knowing that the data from 2008 to 2017 is now available and could make a difference?
Do I have to notify the author about this?

Recreational life
Religious life
Social life
Please rank the above according to your values or priorities. For example, if you think that the most important life is family life please put it as the first item, the next most important one is work life, then put it as the second item, and so on. Thank you very much for your response in advance.
In a Simulink/MATLAB simulation, i used the FFT Tool in the POWERGUI block to analyse a recorded signal 'sig', and at the same time i've coded a my own fft analysis function.
Both methods gives me different results in therms of amplitudes and phases of the sin components, Yet ! When i recreates the sins waves of my function and add them up they gives me the extract signal 'sig'...
Question :
1- Is it possible to have two different fft transforms for the same signal ?
2 - If not ! I will assume at some point I've made a mistake in my code, but how come that my 'coded' function gives me the original signal ?
Hello Everyone! I am trying to run cluster analysis on a set of large mammal data in order to try and recreate ecological profiles for extinct species. However, as one would expect with these data sets there are missing values. I have been trying to run k-means cluster analysis in R however the missing data limits this significantly. Is there a way of filling in this missing data (something similar to nearest neighbor) in order to assign species with missing data to clusters? Unfortunately there is different pieces of data missing form different species.

To measure fishing pressure in recreational fishing, I use catch (number of caught fish), yield (biomass of caught fish), and visit rates (number of anglers). Then, I calculate catch per one fishing visit and yield per one fishing visit. It should work as a kind of CPUE (catch per unit of effort). When the CPUE is decreasing, the abundance of studied species should be decreasing as well. Is there any other way to measure fishing pressure?
I have put by mistake one of my references in the conference papers list while it should be in the presenttion list. How can I change it from the list without deleting and recreating it?

Hello everyone I am trying to recreate a study involving a collagen gel used for containing micro-vessels to study angiogenesis. However, I continue to have contamination issues when I make the gels. I have placed the solid collagen under UV light for 1, placed the dissolved collagen with acetic acid in UV light for 1 hour, filter sterilized my media with a .20 micrometer filter, and autoclaved .20 micrometer nano-pure water. Does anyone know how I can eliminate the contamination that pursuits? Thanks so much!
Dears,
I developed a travel cost model comparing data which was collected before and after an ecological restoration. The aim is to determine if the restoration affected the recreational value of the natural area.
I used a pooled model, like in contingent travel cost model. The results are that dummy variable (expressing whether visitor is pre or post restoration) is significant and negative, whereas its interaction with cost is not significant.
I understand that being pre or post is influencing number of visits but it is not influencing the demand curve. Is this true?
Therefore, do these results mean that ecological restoration is not significantly affecting the value of a visit?
(I attach the results of the model)

Hi everyone,
I'm starting my Master thesis project in cardiac tissue engineering field and I'm trying to recreate an injectable hydrogel firstly made by Zhang et al. (the study is attached below).
I've just started working in the lab, so that's why my question would sound banal or strange.
I'm stacked in the very first phase of the project, meaning the order of the material I need to reproduce the hydrogel.
In their study, Zhang et al. use:
- 3% (w/v) Chitosan, molecular weight 8.75*10^4, 81.3% deacetilation degree
- 1%, 2%, 3% (w/v) Hyalyronic acid, molecular weight 1.26*10^6
- 60% (w/v) Glycerophosphate by Ruibio, Germany.
I tried to search these things on internet to make an order, but without success. I think this is happening because I'm doing it wrong and I also don't have a way to verify my search.
Can you suggest something to help me out through the process?
Thanks!
I am currently doing back ground research on the impacts of recreation and it environmental effect in areas of high value ie national parks

urban lakes are the most abused . They are the natural preserves/reserves in the urban context. But the development of lakes are done for recreational purposes with little concern to the natural processes. a more comprehensive approach would serve bothe the natural process and the recreational aspect. any suggestions of study in this line of thought.

I have been attempting to recreate an organotypic skin culture using primary fibroblasts and primary keratinocytes. I start by embedding fibroblasts in a collagen gel at 200,000-300,000 cells/mL. Then, I add a glass ring to the top of the gel. After 1-2 days, I add primary keratincotyes on top of the culture (within the glass ring) at a density of 100,000-200,000/cm^2. After 1-2 days, a dense monolayer is formed. I then switch to a high Ca media and airlift. However, the monolayer disappears! After 5 days post airlift, a glob of keratinocytes is formed on only 1 small part of the gel surface. It appears yellow-ish. I'm not sure where the monolayer went.
I have found that, without reference, several articles state that fisheries regulations are derivative of terrestrial resource regulations (hunting, logging). While certain aspects are similar, such as quota systems, permit requirements, closed seasons etc., I have yet to find clarity as to which came first and whether or not one is, in fact, based on the other. It's useful to know if the regulations share a similar foundation as a framework for reducing illegal resource use from one may be applicable to the other.

I am working with a number of Post Graduate students and also an external project involving females in sport and recreational activities. We are currently looking at a number of tools that we could use to assist with the data collection. I would love to hear from you in relation to what measurement tools you have reviewed and feel are fit for purpose.
Look forward to hearing from you

I am trying to recreate the Martian atmosphere and to grow plants in it, so I need to keep the CO2 gas at a constant concentration.
I have recently been diving into archival photos of Dutchbat and telling a story about the disappearance of the whole community back in July 1995 in Bosnia. All that from the perspective of soldiers who at the end were forced to leave the UN held enclave in Srebrenica. 8373 Bosnian people were killed, including children, women and elders, which turned out to be the biggest genocide in Europe after World War II. My motivation to do this is to expose Dutch to the emotion of the disappearance of the community by recreating archival pictures of the Dutchbats. Idea is to eliminate layer by layer of the community which will make Dutch see the same scenes but within their living space and community.
I'm trying to evaluate the types of faults that can be simulated and potentially recreated in real flight, that a quadcopter could experience besides the researched/documented partial/complete loss of rotor(s). I would like to apply some of these effects to the neural network-based fault detection and diagnosis framework I'm currently developing.
Thanks in advance.
I have an model of a hinge that I want to simulate at several different angles (i.e. open 0, 90, 115, and 180 degrees). Because I would rather avoid having to recreate all the connections in the model for each orientation of the hinge, I would like to reuse the parts from the "open 0 degrees" model in the other models and just rotate the moving parts to the angle they need to be rotated to. However, this has ended up being more difficult than I thought it would be, if it's even possible at all. The best option I've been able to identify so far is to use a APDL command script to perform the rotation in each solution block. However, I have not written any APDL code before, so this is the best I've been able to come up with so far:
CMSEL,S,MobileParts
! Command to perform the rotation about the global coordinate system goes here.
ALLSEL,ALL,ALL
FINISH
I have attached a screenshot of the model with the parts that need to be rotated (which are members of the "MobileParts" named selection) highlighted. I am trying to get the answer to the following questions:
1. What is the APDL command to rotate components in a named selection about an axis?
2. Will this even accomplish what I am trying to do?
3. Is there a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Note that the model was imported into ANSYS from and external mesh file generated by HyperMesh.

I want to recreate and update a 1992 willingness to pay (WTP) for improved water quality study that focused on a newly implemented (at that time; 1990) basin-scale conservation effort (riparian forest buffers) in a small agricultural watershed in Central Iowa. This effort is now almost 30 years old and I'd like to examine the total economic value generated, and update the willingness to pay data. The original study used an open and closed ended contingent valuation format to determine max WTP. I am not sure how to set up an ex-post willingness to pay question for this situation. If anyone knows of any studies that have a similar context, or otherwise have suggestions, I would be most interested. Thank you.

I'm looking to implement a HIIT based training routine into a recreational triathletes training program. Their current philosophy is to endure more and more miles, as they believe this will improve their performance in an endurance event. I'm trying to change this way of thinking to reduce volume of training but enhance performance. Does anyone know of any papers that relate to training volume and it's limited effect on performance? I vaguely recollect seeing something like that.
Preferences of Russian tourists in destinations change every year due to socio-economic and political factors. In this regard, there is an urgent issue of choosing places for recreation in the near future.

We are validating a cognitive reserve measure (in eldery over 65) and want to include a measure of physical activity throughout life. We'd need a paper-and-pencil, self-administrative measure. Is there a possible recommendation/consensus in the field? Lykert type scale would be most suitable, but calculating a measure based on active hrs per week or similar, is also fine.
white water adventure recreation providers currently employ unofficial industry qualifications standards to show guide/leader competencies in the Kithulgala Adventure Based Camp. Very hard to find International Standards for guide competency exist.
New regulations have been proposed to regulate commercial white water rafting across Canada. These regulations will govern all aspects of commercial white water rafting, from equipments requirements to record keeping procedures. The impacts and influences of these regulations and how they are similar to and differ from the current standards, qualifications and policies practiced by white water rafting in the Kithulgala Adventure Based Camp is the main focus of this research.
I am especially looking for initiatives employed by outdoor recreation agencies (in any sector) to encourage LNT in areas of high population density. These initiatives may serve as the subjects of a case study for San Francisco's parks.

Urban parks are social amenities that provide valuable recreational space and various health benefits. How can I assess the social value of these spaces, so that I can understand the real costs of losing these spaces - even if this is merely a temporary loss (e.g. when they are closed to stage events?)
I'm looking for rapid metrics to assess the CES (recreation and ecotourism, aesthetic, sense of place, etc.). They have to be useful to assess CES in forests.
Many thanks

the benefits of recreational fishing
the impacts and implementations to develop recreational fishing
Hi,
I am fairly set on utilizing the self-report physical activity(PA) data from the NHANES 2009-10 and 2011-12 cycles. In these cycles, individuals are asked to report the average daily amount of time spent doing moderate work PA, moderate recreation PA, vigorous work PA and vigorous recreational PA. There seems to be some sort of response issue--that is, there seem to be a number of individuals reporting 4+ hours (even up to 12!) of recreational activity per day. The same is true with reported work PA, although I can see how some people may have an entire day of moderate PA during work. In conclusion, I would like to know if anyone has ever created a cut point for the data (or ceiling)?
Thanks you!
More specifically, I'm interested in the domestic tourism expenditure for Sports & Recreational Services (I already have the relevant data for 2011). Thank you in advance for your contributions!
Particularly, I would like to know the effects to personality of those individuals who are living in a close or tight environments, sort of like in a condominium or tenements, or row houses or dormitories where everything like recreational facilities, mess hall etc. are shared almost everyday, and even the distance between one house unit to another is so near that main doors are almost adjacent to one another.
What are your guys experience and memories about riverscape?
E.g. there are tourism associations which provide rules for classification of hospitality enterprises, quality certificates for tour guides etc. I am interested in particular in comparision studies between such organizations and state regulation.
There is consolidated research on the impact of contact with nature on people's health and wellbeing. Most of this research is related to large areas, such as public parks, conservation areas or pristine remote regions. Does anyone has researched the role of small residential backyards on health and wellbeing of residents? I am developing a research on a residential area with large and well vegetated backyards that are exposed to high levels of traffic noise. I am estimating the health impact of noise through a burden of disease approach, and would like to link this to the additional impact of noise restricting residents of using their backyards for relaxation, leisure and family socialisation that would result in positive health outcomes. Any references and opinions will be well regarded to assist me in the progress of this study.
Which plants are suitable for this situation? Is there any good reference which can tell me about the standards for this?
My case study is the Bue Marino Caves and its network and I would like to assess the social footprint of all the systems, including the stakeholder categories.
