Focusing on low-skilled workers, I present an empirical analysis of the relationship between transit-based job accessibility and employment outcomes for workers without automobiles. The metropolitan areas examined are Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Two essential components of the...

The disparity of accessibility between cars and public transit provides important information about the degree of auto orientation in urban spatial structure. Using spatial data from 1990 and 2000 and a geographical information system, the present study examined the degrees and spatial...

<?tlsb=0.015w>Studies suggest that sprawling and auto-oriented development patterns present more <?tlsb>difficulties for people without cars to access economic opportunities. We examine intrametropolitan and intermetropolitan variations in job accessibility by commuting mode as an indicator of auto-oriented urban...</?tlsb></?tlsb=0.015w>

type="main" <p>This article presents an empirical study on childcare accessibility and the importance of access to childcare in attaining preferred employment among women with preschool-aged children in Tokyo. The age-wise childcare accessibility of this study takes into account spatial variations...</p>

We study the diffusion process of a Brownian particle moving in a one-dimensional ratchet with space-dependent friction that is subjected to an external source. The equation of motion for a particle involves a multiplicative fluctuation, a nonlinear friction and an external driving force or a...

The paper reports measurements of the viscosity of normal butane and isobutane at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range 25–195°C. In addition, the viscosity of mixtures of the two gases has been determined in the more limited temperature range 25–100°C. The absolute accuracy of the...
