The land surface temperature (LST) changes in North America are very abnormal recently, but few studies have systematically researched these anomalies from several aspects, especially the influencing forces. After reconstructing higher quality MODIS monthly LST data (0.05° * 0.05°) 2002-2018, we analyzed anomalous and their driving forces America. Here show that warmed at rate of 0.02 °C/y. three regions, including frigid region northwestern (0.12 °C/y), west coast 20°N-40°N (0.07 tropics...

In this note, we study the problem of output-feedback control design for a class strict feedback stochastic nonlinear systems. Under an infinite-horizon risk-sensitive cost criterion, controller designed can guarantee arbitrary small long-term average risk-sensitivity parameter and achieve boundedness in probability closed-loop system, using integrator backstepping methodology. Furthermore, preserves equilibrium at origin system.

In the literature, community gardens feature as contested spaces: They are radical spaces used by grassroots movements to claim "right city," organized garden projects attached neoliberal strategies, or physical breeding grounds for citizen-subjectivity. Long established in many Western contexts, were not evident China until a group of scholar-activists Shanghai initiated practice 2016. Drawing on two flagship cases that city, we investigate emergence and development discuss ways which they...

This paper reviews the genealogy of 'Chinese' political geography, which, to a certain extent, can be read as national report status geography in Chinese scholarship. It begins by outlining short duration development China, compared longer history western geography. Looking at extant studies related this suggests an existence duality field. One strand scholarship is termed 'exogenous geography', which largely influenced with particular focus on theories and vocabularies from classical...

ABSTRACTThis research examines the geopolitical entanglements of China's tourism in South China Sea (SCS) and implications uneven mobility rights on tourists' subjectivation. We show that maritime territorialisation SCS is mobile constituted by mobilities. However, although control constitutes performs state territorialisation, it also generates unsatisfied internal bordering effects. reveal premised territorial geopolitics are unevenly experienced tourists. Within contemporary deeply...

Tourism and geopolitics are intrinsically linked. However, current studies on the geopolitical facets of tourism insufficient. This article first reflects diversified understandings how these different interpretations reproduced in existing scholarship. We then elucidate multiple complicated intimate entanglements between highlight often underestimated agency tourism. Following this, we evaluate state extant research this topic. Finally, suggest three directions for future research: (1)...

In post-reform China, local governments, instead of the central state, have become major promoters urbanization. Differing from existing literature based on Western theories, this article argues that a localized perspective, 'administrative urbanization', can provide contextual explanation for mechanism urbanization in reform era. The case study Ordos indicates new town construction, especially inland area, has main strategy investment attraction and economic development. government played...
