BEHIND THE FACES OF AESTHETICIZED URBANISM IN TUNXI, CHINA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban policy in China has become increasingly predicated on securing an approved aesthetic that reflects ideological campaigns and political programmes. In highlighting the role of the aesthetic in Chinese urbanism, this article argues that the party‐state draws on an aesthetic palette that places the contemporary urban landscape in a ...

Impacts of bridge piers on the initiation of ice cover – an experimental study

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2015
Ice jams in northern rivers during winter period significantly change the flow conditions due to the extra boundary of the flow. Moreover, with the presence of bridge piers in the channel, the flow conditions can be further complicated.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Longer Asthma Duration Is Associated With Elevated Non‐T2 Sputum Biomarkers and Reduced T2 Inflammation in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Longer asthma duration is associated with increased airway non‐T2 inflammation and reduced airway and systemic T2 inflammation. Sputum CXCL9 is independently associated with duration and may predict a reduced poor response to anti‐IL‐4Rα therapy. Airway sampling and combined T2 and non‐T2 targeted strategies may be needed in long‐standing asthma. CXCL9,

Study of time-depenbent local scour around bridge piers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Estimation of maximum possible scour depth around bridge piers is an important step in the design of bridge pier foundations. Under known hydrological characteristics such as peak discharge and time-to-peak value of design flood hydrograph, smaller scour

Study of the time-dependent clear water scour around circular bridge piers

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017
The local scour around bridge piers influences their stabilities and plays a key role in the bridge failures. The estimation of the maximum possible scour depth around bridge piers is an important step in the design of the bridge pier foundations.
