SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 We present a theory of spatial development. Manufacturing and services firms located in a continuous geographic area choose each period how much to innovate. Firms trade subject to transport costs and technology diffuses spatially. We apply the model to study the evolution of the US economy in the last half-century and find that it can generate the ...

An urban take on sustainable development policies and corresponding positioning strategies
npj Urban Sustainability, 2023 Cities have emerged as policy actors of global relevance in sustainable development, and their strengthened position challenges the primacy of national states in this area. To account for this shift and for potential emerging contestations between cities

Impact of Slopes on ICESat-2 Elevation Accuracy Along the CHINARE Route in East Antarctica
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022 As the follow-on study to the assessment of ICESat-2 ice surface elevations, we assessed how they are influenced by the surface slopes, which are derived from the ICESat-2 elevations of the received photons and available in the land-ice surface heights ...

THE SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA [PDF]
Journal of Regional Science, 2012 ABSTRACTThis paper studies the recent spatial development of India. Services, and to a lesser extent manufacturing, are increasingly concentrating in high‐density clusters. This stands in contrast with the United States, where in the last decades services have tended to grow fastest in medium‐density locations, such as Silicon Valley.

Spatial Simulations of Myxobacterial Development [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Many bacteria exhibit multicellular behaviour, with individuals within a colony coordinating their actions for communal benefit. One example of complex multicellular phenotypes is myxobacterial fruiting body formation, where thousands of cells aggregate into large three-dimensional structures, within which sporulation occurs.

Regulating Façade Length for Streetscapes of Human Scale
Land, 2022 This paper starts from the hypothesis that streetscapes with shorter façade lengths are more pleasant for pedestrians than long and monotonous façades. It analyses four case studies where short façade lengths were implemented by applying different means ...

Satellite record reveals 1960s acceleration of Totten Ice Shelf in East Antarctica
Nature Communications, 2023 Wilkes Land and Totten Glacier (TG) in East Antarctica (EA) have been losing ice mass significantly since 1989. There is a lack of knowledge of long-term mass balance in the region which hinders the estimation of its contribution to global sea level rise.

Spatial transcriptomics in development and disease
Molecular Biomedicine, 2023 AbstractThe proper functioning of diverse biological systems depends on the spatial organization of their cells, a critical factor for biological processes like shaping intricate tissue functions and precisely determining cell fate. Nonetheless, conventional bulk or single-cell RNA sequencing methods were incapable of simultaneously capturing both gene
