Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

Sharper upper bounds on maximum modulus for rational functions
We study upper bounds for rational functions r(z)=p(z)w(z) $r\left(z\right)=\frac{p\left(z\right)}{w\left(z\right)}$ , where w(z)=∏j=1n(z−λj),|λj|>1, $w\left(z\right)={\prod }_{j=1}^{n}\left(z-{\lambda }_{j}\right), \vert {\lambda }_{j}\vert { >}1,$ and

ABSTRACT Flood related damages are escalating due to compounded climate change impacts and ongoing urban development along floodplains. As a result, there have been increased calls to improve integration between land‐use planning and flood risk management to resolve conflicting policy objectives and minimise increasing flood risk. However, how and what

An elegant model of the geodesic flow on the modular surface
Abstract Caroline Series' [The modular surface and continued fractions, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2), 31, no. 1, (1985), 69–80] gives a clear framework linking, in a deceptively simple way, the dynamics of the geodesic flow on the modular surface with the dynamics of the regular continued fraction, through a well‐chosen symbolic coding.

Destructible and indestructible Blaschke products
A special case of destructibility for Blaschke products is introduced and studied. An example is given of a destructible Blaschke product which becomes indestructible when a single point is deleted from its zero-set.

Sections and projections of the outer and inner regularizations of a convex body
Abstract We establish new geometric inequalities comparing the volumes of sections and projections of a convex body, whose barycenter or Santaló point is at the origin, with those of its inner and outer regularizations. We also provide functional extensions of these inequalities to the setting of log‐concave functions. Our approach relies on the recent

Configurational Fragility of Forest Landscapes Under Multiple Anthropic Uses
This study revealed that 72.2% of forest fragments and 96.1% of savannas have high configurational fragility, with a predominance of High III and Intermediate I sublevels and occasional occurrences of low fragility (Low III). Fragility is driven by pastures (57.7%), showing that landscapes with the same forest cover differ in fragility depending on the

Contestation over a Profession's Memory: The UK Pharmacy Profession, 1880–1905
Abstract We draw on the historical case of the UK pharmacy industry from 1880–1905 to examine how, in the face of a competitive threat to their survival, lower status professionals seek to reinvigorate the memory of their role in providing community service in the public interest.

ABSTRACT Accurate and automatic determination of the boundaries of agricultural parcels is essential for planning sustainable agricultural policies, managing agricultural production, tracking products and enabling precision farming applications. In recent years, pre‐trained visual base models with zero‐shot segmentation capabilities, such as the ...

ABSTRACT The rising atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide will influence the anatomical and physiological traits that regulate photosynthesis and water use efficiency (WUE) in crops. To assess how domestication will shape responses to long‐term [CO2] enrichment, we compared wild tetraploid wheat Triticum turgidum ssp.
