Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Problem Solving

In multiple dimensions, the conservation of momentum applies in each direction independently. Hence, to solve collisions in multiple dimensions, we should write down the momentum conservation in each direction separately. To help understand collisions in multiple dimensions, consider an example.
A small car of mass 1,200 kg traveling east at 60 km/h collides at an intersection with a truck of mass 3,000 kg traveling due north at 40 km/h. The two vehicles are locked together. What is the...
Principal Stresses: Problem Solving01:15

Principal Stresses: Problem Solving

When analyzing two planes intersecting at right angles under the influence of shearing, tensile, and compressive stresses, it is essential to identify principal planes, maximum shearing stress, and principal stresses. To find the principal planes, apply a formula that equates them to twice the shearing stress divided by the difference between tensile and compressive stresses.
Principal Stresses01:24

Principal Stresses

The graphical depiction of normal and shearing stress equations is represented by a circle, demonstrating the interplay between these stresses under different angular conditions. The center of this circle C, located on the vertical axis, represents the average normal stress, while its radius shows the range of stress variations. At points A and B, where the circle intersects the horizontal axis, the maximum and minimum normal stresses are observed, occurring without shearing stress. These...
Short-distance Transport of Resources02:12

Short-distance Transport of Resources

Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.
Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Active commuting (AC) behavior is influenced by psychological factors more than demographics or environment. Targeting these psychological influences can promote AC on university campuses.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Urban Planning

Background:

  • Active commuting (AC) offers health and environmental benefits.
  • Understanding factors influencing AC is crucial for promoting sustainable transportation and well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify patterns and key influences on active commuting behavior among university students and faculty/staff.
  • To analyze the predictive power of demographic, psychological, and environmental variables on walking and biking.

Main Methods:

  • Online survey administered to university students and faculty/staff in April-May 2008.
  • Hierarchical regression analyses used to examine variance in walking and biking behaviors.
  • Data collected on commuting modes and decision-making influences.

Main Results:

  • Students reported higher rates of AC compared to faculty/staff.
  • Psychological variables emerged as the strongest predictors for both walking and biking variance across all groups.
  • Models explained significant variance: 36.2% for student walking, 29.1% for student biking, 45% for faculty/staff walking, and 25.8% for faculty/staff biking.

Conclusions:

  • Psychological factors play a pivotal role in active commuting decisions.
  • Active commuting presents a viable target for campus health promotion initiatives.
  • Addressing psychological influences can enhance AC rates in university settings.
