Abstract:
Although spatial distance is a very important concept for a wide variety of disciplines including social, natural, and information sciences, the methods used to measure spatial distance are not directly expressed and fully explained. In this study, we calculate and compare Euclidean distances and network distances for 10 randomly selected European cities. On the contrary to the findings reported in past research, we find that there is not a global straight forward relation between the Euclidian distance and network distance.© 2016. The Authors.

Abstract:
A study was conducted to compare distance estimates derived from great circle distances (GCD) with distance estimates derived from a network-based model. The study used a sample of shipments from the 1993 commodity flow survey (CFS). For each shipment in the sample, the distance from the zip code of origin to the zip code of destination was calculated by using the Oak Ridge National Laboratories National Highway Network and assuming that the minimum impedance path was utilized. For each of these origin–destination pairs, the GCD and several variations of the GCD also were estimated. Finally, the network-based estimates and the GCD-based estimates were statistically compared. As expected, distance estimates based on GCD were found to be different from network-based estimates. However, applying a constant circuity factor of 1.22 or using variable circuity factors based on distance category did not result in a statistical bias in these distance estimates. Examination of distance estimates at the level of origin–destination pair revealed that distance estimates could vary as much as 75%. A comparison of published values for the 1997 CFS with values derived from GCD-based distance estimates shows that approximately 5% to 35% of the GCD-based values for the 1997 CFS would fall outside a two standard error interval. Although GCD-based estimates, under some conditions, may produce unbiased estimates of the mean distance, this does not eliminate the need for network-based estimates.

Abstract:
Uvod Socijalna distanca često se koristi kao pokazatelj diskriminacije i odnosi se na sklonost ljudi da izbjegavaju kontakte sa stigmatiziranom populacijom, uključujući osobe sa intelektualnim poteškoćama. Cilj Istražiti razinu socijalne distance opće populacije prema pojedincima sa intelektualnim poteškoćama i istražiti značajne korelate. Metod Ova studija presjeka je provedena u ambulantama porodične medicine JU Dom zdravlja Kantona Sarajevo. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 240 ispitanika. Kao instrument istraživanja korišten je upitnik o općim socio-demografskim karakteristikama ispitanika i skala socijalne distance (modificirana Bogardus-ova skala). Rezultati Vrijednost medijane skale socijalne distance je iznosila 17 (minimum, 6; maximum, 30). Najintimniji društveni odnosi (brak) nalaze se na vrhu ljestvice. Muškarci su zauzele stavove koji su odražavali veću socijalnu distancu od žena (p = 0,016). Stariji sudionici iskazali su veću socijalnu distancu od mlađih, ali ne statistički značajno (p = 0,323). Zaključak Danas kada se velika pažnja poklanja uključivanju u zajednicu svih osobe sa intelektualnim poteškoćama, stigmatizirajući stavovi većinske populacije bi mogli predstavljati barijeru za efikasno provođenje socijalne inkluzije.

Abstract:
AbstractWe present a new distance determination to the Small Magellanic Cloud from the surface brightness technique applied to the Cepheid variable HV 829. Although this is a preliminary distance based on only one star, it illustrates the power of the surface brightness technique to extragalactic Cepheid distances, it develops the technique which we will apply to additional SMC and LMC Cepheids, and the distance is of intrinsic interest because of the current controvery concerning distances for the Magellanic Clouds.For HV 829 itself we obtain a distance modulus of 18.91 ± 0.20 mag. From other evidence we infer that HV 829 is slightly in front of the SMC centroid distance. Correcting to the SMC centroid yields a distance to the SMC of 19.05 ± 0.20 mag. We stress that this distance modulus is fully independent of any other distance modulus for the SMC, including those based upon Cepheids. Even so, our result agrees more closely with other, independent Cepheid distances than with RR Lyrae distances and main sequence fitting distances.

Abstract:
It is common for people working on linguistic geography, language contact and typology to make use of some type of distance metric between lects. However, most work so far has either used Euclidean distances, or geodesic distance, both of which do not represent the real separation between communities very accurately. This paper presents two datasets: one on walking distances and one on topographic distances between over 8700 lects across all macro-areas. We calculated walking distances using Open Street Maps data, and topographic distances using digital elevation data. We evaluate these distances. We evaluate these distance metrics on three case studies and show that topographic distance tends to outperform the other distance metrics, but geodesic distances can be used as an adequate approximation in some cases.

Abstract:
In machine learning, distance metrics play a crucial role in measuring the degree of dissimilarity among data points. When creating and optimizing machine learning models, data scientists and machine learning practitioners can make more informed choices by understanding the features of popular distance metrics and their relationships. The effectiveness and interpretability of the model's output can be greatly influenced by selecting the appropriate distance metric. We explain distance metrics and their relevance in machine learning with various examples of metrics, including Minkowski distance, Manhattan distance, Max Metric for R^n, Taxicab distance, Relative distance, and Hamming distance.

Abstract:
The “distance” in “distance learning”, however it is defined, normally refers to a gap between a learner and their teacher(s), typically in a formal context. In this paper I take a slightly different view. The paper begins with an argument that teaching is fundamentally a technological process. It is, though, a vastly complex, massively distributed technology in which the most important parts are enacted idiosyncratically by vast numbers of people, both present and distant in time and space, who not only use technologies but also participate creatively in their enactment. Through the techniques we use we are co-participants in not just technologies but the learning of ourselves and others, and hence in the collective intelligence of those around us and, ultimately, that of our species. We are all teachers. There is therefore not one distance between learner and teacher in any act of deliberate learning— but many. I go on to speculate on alternative ways of understanding distance in terms of the physical, temporal, structural, agency, social, emotional, cognitive, cultural, pedagogical, and technological gaps that may exist between learners and their many teachers. And I conclude with some broad suggestions about ways to reduce these many distances

Abstract:
Cross-national distances between national cultures and national institutions have been studied extensively in the last two decades, particularly with respect to their effects on the conduct of international business. Yet varying levels of analysis, inconsistent definitions, and different operationalizations of cross-national distances inhibit theoretical and empirical advances. Three approaches to non-geographic cross-national distance permeate the literature: psychic distance, national cultural distance, and institutional distance. The meaning of psychic distance has become muddied by evolving operationalizations, from objective indicators to individual perceptions. National cultural distance has been confused with both psychic distance and institutional distance. Various and inconsistent institutional arrangements and business practices are used as measures of institutional distance. This article reviews overlaps, inconsistencies, and ambiguities in the definitions and measurements of psychic, national cultural and institutional distance; suggests a way to rationalize the three constructs; and offers two competing models to explain the role of all three distances in international business decisions.

Abstract:
96 university students participated in one of six treatments to assess whether training to make cross-modal or intramodal matches of one linear-movement distance would transfer to other distances. Three groups received unimodal training (vision, audition, or kinesthesis) and three groups received multimodal Training (all combinations of vision, audition, and kinesthesis) to make kinesthetic matches of one common linear-movement distance. All subjects were subsequently tested on kinesthetic matches of novel distances both shorter and longer than the training distance. A multivariate analysis of variance and Bonferroni contrasts indicated that cross-modal matching was enhanced by multimodal experience but only for distances shorter than the training distance. It was speculated that transferring to distances shorter than a training distance might involve processes different from those used to transfer to distances longer than the training distance.

Abstract:
The symbolic distance effect was investigated using both realistic distances and distances represented on the map. The influence of professional orientation and sex on mental visualization was measured. The results showed that an increase of distance leads to an increase in reaction time. The slope for realistic distances was steeper. Male subjects always had longer reaction times, although the effect differs for the two types of distances. Professional orientation did not play a role. The obtained relation between reaction time and distance is a confirmation of theories proposing that mental representations encompass structure and metric characteristics. The confirmed role of the effect of symbolic distance additionally supports Kosslyn?s theory: there is a linear relation between the time and distance.

Abstract. The objective of this study was to develop a new multivariate statistical model for genetic estimation of distance-dependent racing performances in German Thoroughbreds. Analysed performance traits were »square root of distance to first placed horse in races over sprint distances (until 1 400 m)«, »square root of distance to first placed horse in races over mile distances (from 1 401 m to 1 900 m)« and »square root of distance to first placed horse in races over long distances (over 1 900 m)«. These traits were found to be influenced by the carried weight, which was determined by the horses’ earlier performance. Therefore, new traits were developed based on random regression models, which were independent from the carried weights. Genetic parameters were first evaluated for these new created traits »new distance to first placed horse in races over sprint distances« (h²=0.088), »new distance to first placed horse in races over mile distances« (h²=0.081) and »new distance to first placed horse in races over long distances« (h²=0.137) using a multivariate animal model. Genetic correlations between these traits were high, but differed from rg=1. A further heritability was estimated for the distance-independent trait »new distance to first placed horse in races over all distances« (h²=0.101) applying a univariate animal model with a fixed distance effect. These two different models were compared by two criteria. The ranking of breeding values for the distance-independent trait (estimated with the univariate model) was first correlated with each of the rankings of breeding values for the three distance-dependent traits (estimated with the multivariate model). Correlations varied from r=0.668 to r=0.813. The second criterion for comparison was the percentage of incorrectly selected raced stallions by breeding values estimated with the univariate model. Between 47.4 % and 69.7 % of stallions were incorrectly selected. The use of a total selection index including breeding values of the three distance-dependent traits with suitable weightings was recommended as a possible future selection criterion.

AbstractWe present individual distances to three PNe: NGC 6537, NGC 6781 and NGC 7027, determined by the extinction-distance method. These objects are part of a larger sample (35) of PNe that we observed at ORM. In order to apply this method, and to obtain accurate distances, we determined the spectral type of 40 to 60 stars in the line of sight of each PNe. This implied the necessity of classifying few thousands of stellar spectra with S/N ratio between 10 and 60. To solve such need we developed an ANN system to perform automatic spectral classification which could classify spectra with S/N ratio as low as 20 with an accuracy better than 2 spectral subtypes. In this poster we compare the accuracy of such distances with previous distance determinations using other methods. We conclude that it is possible to use this method to obtain the distance of a large number of PNe with better precision.

Abstract:
Distance measure plays a critical role in various applications of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image data. In recent decades, plenty of distance measures have been developed for PolSAR image data from different perspectives, which, however, have not been well analyzed and summarized. In order to make better use of these distance measures in algorithm design, this paper provides a systematic survey of them and analyzes their relations in detail. We divide these distance measures into five main categories (i.e., the norm distances, geodesic distances, maximum likelihood (ML) distances, generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) distances, stochastics distances) and two other categories (i.e., the inter-patch distances and those based on metric learning). Furthermore, we analyze the relations between different distance measures and visualize them with graphs to make them clearer. Moreover, some properties of the main distance measures are discussed, and some advice for choosing distances in algorithm design is also provided. This survey can serve as a reference for researchers in PolSAR image processing, analysis, and related fields.

To assess these modifications, it is necessary to use measures that quantify the impact of resources on surgical processes.Objectives: The objective of this work is to introduce and evaluate distance measurements that are able to represent differences in the courses of surgical interventions as processes.Methods: Hence, we present four different distance measures for surgical processes: the Jaccard distance, Levenshtein distance, Adjacency distance, and Graph matching distance. These measures are formally introduced and evaluated by applying them to clinical data sets from laparoscopic training in pediatric surgery.Results: We analyzed the distances of 450 surgical processes using these four measures with a focus on the difference in surgical processes performed by novices and by experienced surgeons. The Levenshtein and Adjacency distances were best suited to measure distances between surgical processes.Conclusion: The measurement of distances between surgical processes is necessary to estimate the benefit of new surgical techniques and strategies.

Abstract:
Walking has long been considered a significant factor in wellness. Previous studies have indicated 400-500 meters as a standard of the “acceptable walking distance” as compared to driving or other forms of transportation. However, “acceptable walking distance” and a “distance that one chooses to walk” are two different matters. More importantly, the distance people perceive for a trip can be one of the deciding factors in determining whether they are willing to walk, decide not to walk, or shift to other transportation modes. This research aims to define the optimal walking distances of office workers by measuring the discrepancy between their estimated and actual walking distances in the Central Business District of Bangkok during lunchtime, their most extended break during the day. The descriptive statistic shows that the average walking distance is 302.39 meters, but most workers walked shorter distances since the median distance is 211.66 meters. Nevertheless, these office workers, on the whole, significantly miscalculated their walking distances, with an average over-estimation of 191.45 meters. Regression analysis shows that, when walking for distances up to 380 meters, most workers overestimated the distance they walked, but that, when walking beyond that distance (that is, 380 meters), they estimated correctly, which indicates the maximum actual length they choose to walk.

Abstract:
The discussion on the values of redshift, as well as blueshift, is based on a large increase in new evidence that in the whole volume of Universe there are gravitationally-bound objects (galaxies, clusters and super clusters of galaxies) „Using the Chandra and Hubble Space Telescopes we have now observed 72 collisions between galaxy clusters, including both ‘major’ and ‘minor’ mergers” (Harvey, 2015). That adds to a great diversity of galactic movement directions and their diverse appearances to an observer. The accent here is at the point of "clearing the early Universe" and asks questions about how these types of radiation could be measured if all galaxies were created in the early stages of Universe, which had started emitting these types of radiation. At the same time, some questions are asked about. With a redshift of 5.47, (Q0906 + 6930) light from this active galaxy is estimated to have taken around 12.3 billion light-years to reach us.. distance to this galaxy is estimated to be around 26 billion light-years (7961 Mpc). (NASA/IPAC, 2010) i.e., why the actual measured values of redshift are not applied.
