CHINESE UNIVERSITIES AS URBAN DEVELOPERS: The Tale of Two Innovation Complexes in Nanjing, China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 877-896, July 2026.
Abstract Chinese universities are important but undertheorized players in the production of urban built environments. Most work focuses on purpose‐built university towns, neglecting the redevelopment of underutilized downtown campuses. Therefore, this article considers how two publicly funded universities in Nanjing attempted to establish ‘innovation ...

Comparison of the effects of different growth standards on infants in Urban Shanghai: a cluster-randomized controlled trial

open access: yesChinese Medical Journal, 2019
. Background:. The Shanghai growth standards are higher than World Health Organization (WHO) growth standards, which may influence the feeding practices of the caregivers and increase the risk of overweight in these infants.

The topological structure of urban roads and its relation with human activities at the street-based community level

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The topological structure of the underlying streets can help us better understand urban space and human activities therein. As human urban movements are inherently heterogenous in space and statistics, whether or not the network of streets holds a ...

The quarantine window: Atmospheres and anguish at the COVID‐19 borderlands

open access: yesArea, Volume 58, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In this paper we want to consider border atmospheres—what we understand as the material‐affective and emotional expressions of feeling in the dispersed borderlands of COVID quarantine spaces—through the quarantine hotel window. While the quarantine hotel is a seemingly more benign extension or expansion of the medico‐political border through ...

The Split‐Station Architecture: Decoupling Transformation From Distribution via Medium‐Voltage Superconducting Virtual Bus Extensions

open access: yesIET Electric Power Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper proposes the split‐station architecture, which uses high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables as ‘virtual bus extensions’ to decouple transformation from distribution in medium‐voltage systems. PYPOWER simulations validated against Project Hydra 13.8 kV specifications demonstrate that a 3‐km HTS link reduces voltage drop by 46 ...

Extracting Vertical Displacement Rates in Shanghai (China) with Multi-Platform SAR Images

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2015
This paper presents a novel method for extracting the land vertical displacement rates (VDRs) in Shanghai (China) using the multi-platform SAR images collected between 2009 and 2010, i.e., the ascending/descending COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) X-band images and the

Passenger Flow‐Aware Train Scheduling Model for Minimising Energy Consumption in Urban Rail Systems

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study proposes a dynamic‐programming (DP)‐based train scheduling framework that models the interaction among passenger flow, train mass, and energy consumption, enabling energy‐efficient operation under time‐varying demand. Case studies on a real metro line show that the method reduces energy consumption by up to 10.8% while maintaining transport ...

Research on the correlation between pedestrian density and street spatial characteristics of commercial blocks in downtown area: a case study on Shanghai Tianzifang [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2019
Taking Shanghai Tianzifang as an example, this study attempted to utilize theories, such as the Space Syntax Theory, to build a multivariate model with street spatial characteristics as variables, and investigate the correlation between street spatial characteristics and pedestrian density in commercial blocks using multivariate regression analyses of ...
