Abstract This article investigates the nature of causal linkage between stock markets and foreign exchange in Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, UK from January 1992 to December 2005. Recently developed cointegration tests are employed no evidence a long-run relationship variables is found. Three variations Granger causality test carried out rates prices found for UK; weak other direction only Switzerland. The Hiemstra–Jones used examine possible non-linear results indicate Japan reverse...

Amenities have attracted considerable attention from both academics and policy makers. However, inequalities in the geography of various social amenities remain understudied. This paper investigates multi-scalar spatial distribution for four different groups— women, children, older adults, high-skilled labor— across cities on China's mainland. We aim at extending beyond enfolding within a narrowly defined post-industrial or knowledge economy to enrich understanding variegated provision...

Pedestrian detection is an important aspect of the development intelligent vehicles. To address problems in which traditional pedestrian susceptible to environmental factors and are unable meet requirements accuracy real time, this study proposes a algorithm for vehicles complex scenarios. YOLOv3 one deep learning-based object algorithms with good performance at present. In article, basic principle elaborated analyzed firstly determine its limitations detection. Then, on basis original...

China has long positioned itself as the ancient civilization of Far East, which only makes geographical sense through lens West. The literature on resonates with this geographic illustration, about which, critical scholars have cautioned against imperial hegemony Eurocentric knowledge. In paper, we attempt to answer call for a Global East situated agency others in geopolitics knowledge circulation. circulation foregrounds transnational flows multifaceted and multidirectional process, mimicry...

Abstract We employ parametric and nonparametric cointegration approaches to investigate the extent of integration between African stock markets rest world. Long-run correlation estimates imply very low association these two. The two distinct confirm latter through recursive estimation. implication is that global have little impact on markets. However, including assets in a mean-variance portfolio would be beneficial international investors.

AbstractAs the metropolitan city in Western China, Chengdu has been suffered from serious traffic congestion. The strategy of urban public transport priority was put into agenda to relieve But sharing rate is only 27% which much lower than developed country. Consequently, it great importance study measures improve service, and provide technical support policy-makers. This paper selected corridor between Southwest Jiaotong University district downtown as experiment subject. orthogonal design...

Abstract This paper contributes to debates about the globalisation of higher education by providing a pioneering geographical exploration Chinese–foreign cooperation in running transnational education, or TNHE, programs. Departing from widespread neoliberal and postcolonial critiques which tend emphasise liberal market forces Anglo‐American hegemony circulation academic knowledge, our study examines how Chinese state’s developmental targets, strategic policies, political–ideological...

Urban networks in the modern economy have become a focus of research geography and other related disciplines. However, network motion picture industry has remained an underdeveloped topic relevant literature. Drawing on data from film production projects, this paper presents pilot study changing inter-city that are created by mainland China over past 15 years. Combining perspectives both urban economic literature, not only advances offering new insights into project-based, inter-firm...

High adhesion force of chip substrates is crucial for improving reliability in the field microelectronics.

Virtual community is becoming a significant component in today's world of open, decentralized networks. Trust management mechanism crucial to fertilize the development virtual community. After analysis features community, and various approaches for trust model, we present novel model communities which depends on both process-based institutional-based production. We propose some effective methods address or alleviate typical problems management, such as feedback incentive problem malicious...

The contradiction between increasing demand and current supply has affected the healthy development of industry. Investigating key influence factors industrial water use change important practical significance for resource management. In this study, authors propose vector autoregression model to analyze dynamic influences development, technological progress, environmental protection on change, take Jiangsu Province, China as a case study. Results show that each had different effects during...

Research on global cultural cities has been biased toward dominant in advanced economies. In this paper, we present the first geographical analysis of performing-arts consumption major Chinese through measuring presence, origins and inter-city network performing arts events. We demonstrate that distribution China displays both dispersive concentrative patterns, generating an urban with a core-periphery, although polycentric, structure. The variant patterns not only reflect cities’...

This article is mainly to study the realization of travel recommendations for different users through deep learning under global information management. The personalized route recommendation realized by establishing dynamic interest (PTDR) algorithm and distributed lock manager (DLM) model. It hoped that this model can provide more complete data tourist destinations on basis past, also meet needs users. innovation compare analyze with a large number baseline algorithms, highlighting...

Based on the similarity between traffic sign images in source and target domains, parameters migrated from domain are utilised as initial of faster region convolutional neural network (Faster-R-CNN), which is trained for detecting text signs, then fine-tune based samples obtaining final parameters. Moreover, converted RGB to HSV space also used training network, thereby overcoming under-learning problem model caused by less samples. The traditional efficient accurate scene (EAST) detection...

The transit signal priority leads to the delay of private vehicles in and non-priority phases. To address this problem, a bi-level programming model is proposed based on dynamic cycle arrival rate under connected environment. upper built by triangle, with maximum reduction between decreased increased experimental period. lower constructed Stackelberg game theory, objective obtain cycle. A genetic algorithm (GA) implemented solve model. Based SUMO, case study self-driving bus city Zhengzhou...

A novel 18,19-seco-ursane saponin, aculeoside I (1), in addition to four known saponins were isolated from the leaves of Ilex aculeolata Nakai and identified by using spectroscopic chemical methods. The structure new saponin was established as 3,19-dihydroxyl-16,21-epoxy-18,19-seco-13(18)-urs-ene-28-oic-acid-19-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside.

As a part of developing an adaptive signal control system using VS-PLUS method for optimal network traffic control, study was carried out along the Huangshan Road in Hefei, China, to evaluate this system. This paper described which included field survey about performance; development trip matrix improved Furness method; TRANSYT modelling software find fixed-time plan and VISSIM micro-simulation affirm model help assess plan; building frame refining evaluating with emulator. The results...

Current policy interventions in cultural industries tend to be highly localized and dominated by a cluster agenda. This article provides critical evaluation of industry development policies from city network perspective based on the case China. Drawing quantitative data sources, we first conduct systematic investigation into geographical distribution 252 publicly listed firms within mainland China as well organization their city-based buyer–supplier relationships across multiple spatial...
