Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Route Choice to Inform Navigation System Design and Accessibility Analysis for Older Pedestrians: A Scoping Review(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-10) Fulman, Nir; Huber, Johannes; Lloyd, Armagan Teke; Foshag, Kathrin; Grinblat, Yulia; Turk, Umut; Zipf, AlexanderIntroduction: Routing systems can support older adults by helping them overcome barriers to walking, promoting independence and well-being. The paths generated by these systems also inform urban accessibility metrics, such as those used in 15-min-city planning. Yet current systems rarely reflect the preferences or constraints of older pedestrians. Empirical studies of route choice can help close this gap by revealing how people trade off different route attributes in real settings. Methods: We conducted a scoping review, following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, of empirical studies analyzing pedestrian route choice among adults. The goal was to identify findings that could inform the design of more age-inclusive routing tools. Results: Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria, eight of which focused exclusively on older adults. Despite varied contexts, three consistent themes emerged: (i) sidewalk quality and manageable gradients; (ii) aesthetic and sensory comfort, including greenery, low noise, and good lighting; and (iii) access to benches, transit, and everyday amenities. However, most studies relied on qualitative methods, limiting direct integration into routing algorithms. Conclusions: Future work should prioritize hybrid qualitative-quantitative designs, large-scale sampling of routes, and fine-grained mapping of micro-barriers. Analyses should account for age, gender, and functional ability, and consider circular leisure walks as a distinct travel pattern. These directions can enhance the usability and equity of routing systems and urban planning frameworks.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Bright Green and Blue Solid-State Emitting Carbon Dots With Optimized Photoluminescence Characteristics for Fabrication of High-Performance Light Emitting Diodes(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-09) Havasi, Nasrin; Sahraei, Reza; Soheyli, Ehsan; Lan, Yu; Lou, Qing; Houshmand, Fatemeh; Shan, Chong-XinLuminescent carbon dots (CDs) possess a range of fundamental and technological advantages, including low-cost, and scalable preparation methods, high emission efficiency, tunable electronic properties, and adaptable surface characteristics. However, aggregation-caused quench in solid-state emission of CDs has constrained their applications in luminescent solar-concentrators, and light-emitting devices. This study introduces a rapid and straightforward microwave method for producing bright blue-and green-emissive CDs, with emission peaks at 440 nm and 520 nm, respectively. Blue-CDs showed excitation-dependent feature with a biexponential decay profile and average lifetime of 6.3 ns, while the green one signified an excitation-independent photoluminescence profile with longer average lifetime of 9 ns through biexponential fitting of decay plot. Upon optimization of experimental parameters, reproducible green emission with a high efficiency of 78 % was achieved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The critical role of biurea as a nitrogen precursor was elucidated through experimental and computational investigations. Furthermore, owing to the bright solid-state emission of the synthesized CDs, they were utilized as color-converting layers in the fabrication of durable monochrome LEDs, yielding blue and yellowish-green emissions with Commission Internationale de L'E<acute accent>clairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.16, 0.10) and (0.35, 0.57), respectively. This study highlights the potential of CDs for applications in light-emitting panels.
