ABSTRACT American municipalities increasingly regulate panhandling. That regulation is controversial. The determinants of panhandling activeness are unknown, and it is doubted whether panhandling activity responds rationally to incentives. To shed light on these issues, we collect data on hundreds of panhandlers and the passersby they solicit at ...

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

Discover Class‐Based Feature Distribution by Encoding Discrete Data for Classification
ABSTRACT The self‐organisation map is an unsupervised learning technique that discovers patterns and relationships in data without requiring labelled training data. Inspired by the self‐organisation map, Self‐Organised Granular encoding has been shown to be effective for generating reliable discrete data clustering results as it is a data encoding ...
