Jilin is a major city in northern China, and the Special geographical environment and rich history and culture made a profound impact on the evolution of urban form. The urban pattern has common features as other waterfront cities in northern China, and also has its own uniqueness. With the start of analysis of evolution of urban form,this paper divides the development of Jilin City into three phases according time node,and analyzes the form evolution and its causes of each phase,as well as the relationship of the three phases. Finally,the paper presents development direction of spatial pattern of Jilin city based on analysis,and provides reference for the development for cold water cities.

AbstractIn China, there exist various regional sediments of the Quaternary such as loess soils of the Yellow River in northern China, lateritic soils in southern China and expansive soils in the broad plains of the Yangtze River. In the past, these Quaternary Sediments were often treated as special soils and their engineering properties tended to be studied accordingly. However, not much attention was given to relationships that may exist between these regional soils and, so far, the distribution and formation of regional Sediments have not been systematically studied. Only when it was found that regional classifications of soils (their names and their engineering properties) were in disagreement with each other for adjacent areas was the subject of relationship considered.Recently, the author has tested and studied a number of samples of various Quaternary regional Sediments. The relationship of their composition and microstructural features to their engineering properties has first been analysed on the basis of their basic properties. The distribution of regional sediments has then been studied in detail according to geographical environment and climatic conditions. Finally, formation and development processes for the various regional Sediments of the Quaternary in China have been postulated.

Harbin is a major city in the north of China,the evolution of spatial morphology is effected by special geographical environment and rich history. Its urban pattern has common features as other waterfront cities in north of China, and also has own uniqueness. The paper starts from the analysis of evolution of spatial morphology,divides the history of Harbin into 3 stages,analyses the evolution and cause of each stage,and proposes the development direction of Harbin to provide reference for the waterfront cities in north of China.

One of the trends marking neoliberalism and the attack on the welfare state from the right is the move toward the privatization of public services. Recent research in both the United States and Canada suggests that residents of the suburbs of large urban regions are more likely to vote for political parties on the right and to support neoliberal policies such as privatization, while the opposite is true for inner-city dwellers. However, the reasons why such a spatial division should occur have received little academic attention. This paper seeks to fill this gap in the literature by analyzing the relationship between residential location, spatial factors, and attitudes toward privatization, using survey data collected in the Toronto region. Results suggest that the way urban space influences residents' daily routines and personal experiences may then mediate their perception of the uses of public services and the efficacy of government spending, factors which are found to affect spatial disparities in support of and/or in opposition to privatization. Thus, there is some evidence that urban spatial form is important for understanding the geographic unevenness of support for neoliberalism, and thus ultimately for the production of ideology.

The heart rate and rectal temperature of 12 adult male hooded rats were studied during 10-min swims in water of 37, 20, and 42 C. Both the heart rate and the rectal temperature stabilized in water of 37 C, suggesting that swimming in thermoneutral water is a submaximal exercise for rats. In water of 20 C, rectal temperature and heart rate of swimming animals fell exponentially to 28 C and 251 beats/min, respectively. The relationship of heart rate to rectal temperature in these swimming, cooling animals was not different from that reported in the literature for unanesthetized, inactive, hypothermic rats. It appeared that exercise had no effect on the heart rate of rats when the body temperature was dropping. In water of 42 C the rectal temperature rose exponentially to 42.2 C. The heart rate rose to 521 beats/min at the 8th min of swimming and remained stable thereafter. It is suggested that inadequate cardiac output resulting from severe changes in body temperature may be one factor which limits swimming capacity of small animals in hot and cold water.

Sublingual temperature (Tor), average skin temperature (Tsk), and skin heat flow (Hsk) were determined in a field study for six Greek sponge divers and seven nondiving controls during head-out immersions at water temperature of 21 degrees C. Wetsuits kept Tsk at 22–28 degrees C for 1–3 h until Tor fell to 36.5–35.5 degrees C and violent shivering [metabolic rate (M) = 100–150 W . m-2] ended the test. At a steady Tsk, immediately before shivering, overall tissue insulation (It), calculated as (Tor--Tsk)/Hsk, was linearly related to mean subcutaneous fat thickness (MFT) in both groups without statistical difference between them. The onset of shivering, as detected by a sharp increase of M, occurred at the same Tor for a Tsk of about 26 degrees C, and the relationship of M vs. Tor (i.e., metabolic sensitivity) was the same for both groups. Contrary to other groups accustomed to diving in cold water, the use of a wetsuit for a long time has evidently prevented cold adaptation in these divers.

The city-building-complex is now in a large-scale and stylized stage of development in China and its construction has become more involved in the city and peoples lives. The research in the city-building-complex and the shaping of urban form is of great significance and has broad prospects. This article discussed the relationship of the city-building-complex and the shaping of urban form from macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic perspectives, starting from four aspects, such as urban surface morphology, urban skyline, urban texture and urban axis. It will give reference and suggestion in design of the city-building-complex in China in future.

As the development direction of information retrieval technology gradually evolves toward the relationship of search entities, traditional relational databases are difficult to satisfy, and graph databases are specifically created to handle the relationships between data. This article explains the basic concept of graph database, and takes the example of domain-specific database information retrieval as an example, analyzes its advantages and disadvantages, and analyzes the challenges faced by the graph database in full-text information retrieval.

The paper presents a survey of selected theoretical and methodological issues surrounding social capital as well as applicable approaches to its study, with an emphasis on the concept’s geographical aspects. Attention is focused, primarily, on definitions of the term social capital, upon which the outlined typology of different forms of social capital is based. Critical reactions to the concept of social capital are presented and discussed. Methods of measuring social capital are also discussed, including selected examples of specific empirical inquiries and indicators used, as is the relationship of social capital and territorial development, with examples from the Czech geographical environment. As indicated by the broad spectrum of aspects discussed, social capital presents a very complicated and, to a certain degree, a disarranged issue. Considering future geographical observations of social capital topics, it is necessary to give detailed attention to the deepening of the theoretical discussion concerning the interconnectivity of geography and social capital, the role of social capital in territorial development and measuring social capital, or rather seeking out relevant indicators.
