Ideas out of context and the contextualization of ideas: The transference of Jane Jacobs to São Paulo     

《Geoforum》2015

The mobility and contextualization of urban policies between localities have received significant attention in recent literature. A number of mechanisms have been identified, including “best practices,” “policy tourism,” multinational firms, and conferences have been identified. This article identifies a new mechanism: the translation and publication of seminal theses into additional languages. Using citations analysis and interviews in São Paulo, this mechanism is confirmed as an additional mode of transference and identified as being responsible for the growth in interest in Jane Jacobs in São Paulo. However, this article finds that despite the increase in accessibility to her ideals, her emphasis on contextuality was overlooked in that case. This, in turn, calls attention to larger issues of the use of so-called ‘universally-good’ examples of urbanism.  相似文献   

CHANGES IN U.S. NATIONAL MOBILITY LEVELS*     

Peter A. Rogerson 《The Professional geographer》1987,39(3):344-351

This paper investigates the decline in the national mobility level that occurred during 1970-1983. The effects of generation size are discussed in detail; bigger generations may move at lower rates because of the increased competition for jobs and housing. The changing age composition of the population will imply further mobility declines during coming decades if age-specific mobility rates remain constant. A consideration of anticipated changes in the size of the young adult cohort suggests that the national mobility rate may increase slightly over the next decade, before beginning a relatively modest decline during 1995-2040.  相似文献   

Ca-H-Al exchanges and aluminium mobility in two Chinese acidic forest soils: a batch experiment     

J.?GuoEmail author  R.?D.?Vogt  X.?Zhang  Y.?Zhang  H.?M.?Seip  H.?Tang 《Environmental Geology》2004,45(8):1148-1153

Exchange reactions between Ca²⁺, H⁺ and Al species and their effects on the aluminium mobility in two Chinese acidic forest soils were studied. The study was based on a batch experiment using extractant solutions with different base cation (calcium) concentrations and pH. The experimental data showed that increased Ca²⁺ concentrations increased the release of soil hydrogen—and aluminium ions, especially from the more acid soil. In agreement with a cation exchange process, the treatment with Ca²⁺ extracts gave significantly decreased soil aluminium saturation (AlS) and increased calcium saturation (CaS) on the ion exchanger. Geochemical calculation using AlCHEMI program showed that activities of Al³⁺ in the extracts were all strongly under-saturated with respect to any gibbsite mineral in the studied pH region (i.e. below 4.1). There were instead apparently two different mechanisms controlling the activities of Al³⁺ in extracts. At pH between about 4.1 and 3.7, the Al³⁺ activity did not change significantly with pH. This is especially the case in the more acid soil. Apparently there are no sizeable pools available to release Al in this pH region. At pH below 3.7 (induced by higher Ca²⁺concentration) the activity of Al³⁺ increased with H⁺ though not in a pattern that complies with a gibbsite solubility control. An increase of base cation deposition would therefore mainly enhance the release of hydrogen ions between pH 4.1 and 3.7 and aluminium ions below pH 3.7 from Chinese mature acidic soils. This will cause an increased acidity of soil water in the short term and a decrease in the soil acidity in the long term. More attention should be paid to this fact in Chinese acid rain studies and control options.  相似文献   

沙丘移动的研究现状与未来研究思路   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

沙丘移动的研究经过数十年的发展与完善,基本上已自成体系。但是由于起步较晚,加之现象的复杂性,目前仍有很多重要的理论问题没能彻底解决,至少还未达成共识,成为学术界长期以来争论的焦点,从而影响了它的继续发展。本文在剖析沙丘移动研究现状的基础上,浅析其未来研究思路。重点对沙丘移动的判定指标进行了讨论,指出了Lancaste(r1988)提出的指标表达式不能够直接应用于我国,必须建立与我国国情相符合的指标体系。  相似文献   

Experimental study of the effect of temperature on ion cluster formation using ion mobility spectrometry     

A.-K. Viitanen  T. Mattila  J.M. Mkel  M. Marjamki  O. Anttalainen  J. Keskinen 《Atmospheric Research》2008,90(2-4):115-ICNAA07

Ion mobility spectrometry offers a robust and effective technique to study ion clusters in ambient conditions. Here, we have experimentally studied the influence of temperature on the positive ion cluster formation of 2-propanol vapor in air, along with parallel measurements for n-butyl acetate vapor in air. For both of these low proton affinity compounds in the ppm concentration range, temperatures below 0 °C tend to favor formation of dimers and trimers. The measurements indicate that approximate estimations for the fractions of these n-mers (n > 1) in the ion spectra, can be obtained by classical theory for ion induced nucleation. Presence of natural background vapors however slightly blurs the data, especially for the fraction of monomers, so that accurate prediction of the fractions of n-mers in the spectra would require more accurate information on the gas composition. The findings concerning thermal behavior of ions help to understand better ion phenomena also in field conditions.  相似文献   

Summer season variability of the north residual cap of Mars as observed by the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES)     

W.M. Calvin  T.N. Titus 《Planetary and Space Science》2008,56(2):212-226

Previous observations have noted the change in albedo in a number of North Pole bright outliers and in the distribution of bright ice deposits between Mariner 9, Viking, and Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) data sets. Changes over the summer season as well as between regions at the same season (L_s) in different years have been observed. We used the bolometric albedo and brightness temperature channels of the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) on the MGS spacecraft to monitor north polar residual ice cap variations between Mars years and within the summer season for three northern Martian summers between July 1999 and April 2003. Large-scale brightness variations are observed in four general areas: (1) the patchy outlying frost deposits from 90 to 270°E, 75 to 80°N; (2) the large “tail” below the Chasma Boreale and its associated plateau from 315 to 45°E, 80 to 85°N, that we call the “Boreale Tongue” and in Hyperboreae Undae; (3) the troughed terrain in the region from 0 to 120°E longitude (the lower right on a polar stereographic projection) we have called “Shackleton's Grooves” and (4) the unit mapped as residual ice in Olympia Planitia. We also note two areas which seem to persist as cool and bright throughout the summer and between Mars years. One is at the “source” of Chasma Boreale (∼15°E, 85°N) dubbed “McMurdo”, and the “Cool and Bright Anomaly (CABA)” noted by Kieffer and Titus 2001. TES Mapping of Mars’ north seasonal cap. Icarus 154, 162-180] at ∼330°E, 87°N called here “Vostok”. Overall defrosting occurs early in the summer as the temperatures rise and then after the peak temperatures are reached (L_s∼110) higher elevations and outlier bright deposits cold trap and re-accumulate new frost. Persistent bright areas are associated with either higher elevations or higher background albedos suggesting complex feedback mechanisms including cold-trapping of frost due to albedo and elevation effects, as well as influence of mesoscale atmospheric dynamics.  相似文献

林煦丹  朱竑  尹铎 《地理科学进展》2021,40(7):1235-1245

伴随着“文化转向”与“再物质化”思潮的出现,物质地理学已经成为西方社会文化地理研究中新兴且活跃的研究分支之一,而追踪物质(following the things)是物质地理学中重要的方法论视角,它强调人文地理学所重视的“流动性”,通过追踪特定物质在流动过程中物质性的变化以及能动性,揭示物质流动中的社会关系与文化意义。论文通过梳理和分析西方学界中物质地理学的相关文献,阐述了近年来的研究进展,同时指出现阶段在追踪物质视角下该领域的主要议题为：物质的象征研究、物质与认同研究、生产与消费研究以及权力博弈与协商研究等内容。最后,论文归纳总结了当下物质地理学存在的研究局限与空白,展望了未来中国物质地理学研究可进一步探索的话题与方向,以期打开未来中国与西方国家物质地理学的对话窗口。  相似文献   

福建县域人口流动空间差异分析     

孟庆香  吴升 《测绘科学》2017,42(1)

针对当前国内对人口流动空间分布问题常采用的单一指标以及数理统计方法、忽略了空间效应、很难正确识别人口流动地域类型以及空间分布模式的问题,提出了一种以县域以人口净迁移率为横坐标和以人口总迁移率为纵坐标的复合指标法。首先对2010-2013年福建省85个县域的人口流动地域类型进行了测度和划分;随后,为进一步探索人口流动集聚程度,采用探索性空间数据分析方法进行了量化分析。结果表明:福建省县域人口流动空间分布差异显著;福建省县域人口流动的地理集聚特征显著且存在明显的正相关关系,并且"低-低"类型分布占据主要地位。研究结果为发现福建省县域人口流动空间模式,更好地为人口流动区域差异进行量化分析提供了强有力的支撑。  相似文献   

Deriving Mobility Archetypes from Household Travel Survey Data     

Laure Charleux 《The Professional geographer》2018,70(2):186-197

This article proposes a simple post hoc segmentation approach to revisit Household Travel Survey data and sketch archetypal mobility figures (clusters) that relate to people's daily mobility experiences. Describing the mobility behaviors of the different clusters and the distribution of the population between clusters is a powerful means to draw the mobility landscape of a metropolitan area and make comparisons over time and across places. Furthermore, clusters can be used to contextualize mobility behaviors in a variety of social inquiries and can be complementary to traditional quantitative mobility indicators or qualitative investigations.  相似文献
