The global financial crisis started a new context of late capitalism and austerity urbanism. Instead unidirectional governance transformation towards entrepreneurialism, rising finance financialisation, pervasive state roles in post-growth municipal radicalism are competing trends. Previously, China witnessed private entrepreneurship, economic devolution, housing commodification at the turn millennium. They have been portrayed as urban or entrepreneurialism. These features were transformed...
While the enabling role of state in financialization urban development has been widely noted, changing and variegated roles different actors have less explored. This paper investigates this issue based on chengtou as financial agencies China. First, we show that is not merely a state-led process, but also restricted at stages. Second, albeit with stringent central regulations, local states striven to support chengtou, which demonstrates intrastate divergence. Third, illustrate performance...
The death of urban entrepreneurialism is proclaimed surprisingly by opposite conceptualisations austerity urbanism and radical municipalism. This paper argues that rather than seeing them as contrasting types, post-pandemic statecraft reflects the increasing tension entanglement between capitalistic territorial logic. From ground Chinese governance, we illustrate how maintains state strategic extra-economic intention through deploying mobilising market society - to create its own agents...
Financialized urban governance means that local governments have been increasingly reliant on financial techniques and in some extreme cases, captured by shareholders’ interests. However, financialized mutates with various characteristics of governance. This paper unpacks China based the operation Shanghai Municipal Investment Corporation (SMI). The municipal government uses SMI as an intermediary to finance development. Based latest corporatization SMI, we illustrate embryonic form which...
Abstract In this work, a dual-strategy approach of Ti-intercalation and Mo vacancies was utilized to engineer VMo-Ti-MoSe2, aiming enhance the electrochemical performance potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). The intercalation strategy reduces band gap expands layer spacing MoSe2, which alleviates volume expansion during potassiation/depotassiation processes accelerates rapid migration potassium ions. Furthermore, engineered not only facilitate excitation conduction electrons but also...
The increasingly complex business environment facing contemporary enterprises increases the possibility of crises, and enhances necessity importance dealing with crises appropriately. author collects studies specific handling strategies current corporate crisis public relations, analyzes response society to its relations impact on image, then finds out effective way deal crisis. Specific research methods include: analysis cases, issuance questionnaires, on-site telephone interviews...
Against the strategic backdrop of forging and strengthening consciousness Chinese national community in new era, universities border areas, as crucial platforms for integration multi-ethnic cultures, shoulder significant mission enhancing ethnic unity promoting outstanding traditional culture. As an important carrier culture, music not only contains profound historical memories emotional identities but also demonstrates a powerful cultural educational function teaching universities. Based on...

Energy dissipation techniques, widely used in solid physics previously, are proven to be sensitive also changes liquid structure. It has been suggested from relative energy that structure can occur as a function of temperature some ordinary binary systems such Pb-Sn, In-Sn and In-Bi. This finding may helpful understand changing patterns, therefore enriching the phenomenology state physics. is significant for engineering practices.
Results of an ac heat-capacity study layering, melting, and layer-critical-point transitions multilayer ${\mathrm{C}}_{2}$${\mathrm{D}}_{4}$ on graphite are reported. The layer critical temperature is found to decrease towards the bulk triple melting point with increasing film thickness. wetting transition also appeared be pinned at point. a between one two layers 2D Ising type.
The results of an extensive thermodynamic study the phase transitions monolayer and multilayer ethylene on graphite are presented. In submonolayer near-monolayer completion regions, melting transition is found to be continuous. Heat-capacity anomalies indicative orientational structural solid phases found. Our result indicates existence a third in addition low- high-density defined according orientation carbon-carbon axis molecule with respect substrate surface. region, our consistent...
Biomass is an important renewable and sustainable source. Aromatic plants are biomasses widely used in the fragrance industry. The recovery of aromatic plant wastes not only for prevention environmental issues, but also rational utilization natural resources. In this paper, waste resource depicted. prospects rose offered.
Heat-capacity studies of the melting transition commensurate (\ensuremath{\surd}3 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} \ensuremath{\surd}3 ) phase CO on graphite yield, at appropriate coverages, critical exponents consistent with that expected for two-dimensional three-state-Potts tricritical and critical-phase transitions.
The state has been pivotal in both facilitating financialization and dealing with its consequences, through which the itself also reshaped. This paper proposes a “state selective financialization” framework to highlight intentionality selectivity of (de)financialization. Based on practices China, we examine latest efforts reconfigure land reserve system order cope local financial risks associated land-backed borrowing. de-leverages reserved locally uses it secure bonds state-managed top-down...
In the compressed incommensurate phase at low temperatures, molecular axes of CO on graphite are ordered with respect to each other, forming a pinwheel structure. A sharp heat capacity peak is found upon warming through (orientational) order-disorder transition this pin wheel phase. Critical analysis indicates that continuous and belongs two-dimensional Ising universality class, in agreement theoretical expectations.
Existing studies suggest that land financing has given rise to entrepreneurial governance in China because local governments act like entrepreneurs capture value appreciation. However, the new reserve institution recently forbidden from using as collateral and centralized financial management of projects. Given this profound change institutions, we ask whether have become less entrepreneurial. This paper investigates Shanghai Land Reserve Centre. The funding restriction declining...
