Residential electricity use scales superlinearly with city size in China
Urban scaling laws measure how urban quantities scale with population size. Residential electricity consumption, being fundamentally tied to basic household needs, is often assumed to scale linearly with population. However, empirical studies have reported divergent scaling behaviors for electricity use across urban systems in different countries. Here, we analyze scaling relationships of residential electricity consumption across Chinese cities …
Integrating macro-micro perspectives to measure urban land expansion in Minsk, Belarus
Urban expansion is pivotal in global urbanization, influencing human development and environmental sustainability. However, understanding urban growth dynamics, particularly the interaction between macro-level urban form and micro-level land use change, remains incomplete. This study analyzes Minsk, Belarus' urban expansion (1990–2020) to bridge this gap. We examine how macro-scale urban form and micro-scale land-use dynamics jointly shape urban …

Chronic mountain sickness in Chinese Han males who migrated to the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau
Our presenting scoring system is more sensitive than previous diagnostic criteria and favors early screening and treatment of patients with CMS. Our finding suggests that an adjusted Hb threshold of 200 g/L (instead of 210 g/L) is more adaptable in Han individuals at all altitudes. The weight of Hb level should score ≥ 6 points using the CMS scoring system because of the pathophysiologic role of excessive erythrocytosis in patients with CMS. In a…
