Industry transfer and urban green growth: Asymmetric spillovers and nonlinear thresholds
Industry transfer is often seen as a barrier to urban green growth. Using city-level panel data from China, this study shows that policy-led strategic emerging industry (SEI) transfer can foster sustainable urban development. Spatial Durbin and partially linear functional coefficient models are employed to assess spillovers and threshold effects. We find that SEI transfer promotes green growth through industrial upgrading and green innovation. Th…
Ethnic food retail and immigrant wellbeing: A relational understanding of Chinese migrants’ food access in Toronto, Canada
Immigrants represent a growing consumer market, altering cities through increased demand for culturally specific products/services and through entrepreneurial ethnic food businesses. This paper focuses on the food retail consumption experiences and access barriers of Chinese immigrants in Toronto, Canada, through a survey of grocery shopping behaviors and attitudes and focus groups that explored access experiences and wellbeing. We also developed…

The relationship between cognitive function and muscle mass in older adults: A longitudinal study based on CLHLS
Muscle mass had a major predictive effect on cognitive trajectory, especially in females. Maintaining ASMI above gender-specific thresholds may help slow cognitive decline, suggesting that muscle mass can serve as an adjustable biomarker for dementia prevention. Longitudinal studies should verify the validity of these thresholds in different populations

Limited Role of Rhamnolipids on Cadmium Resistance for an Endogenous-Secretion Bacterium
Rhamnolipids, a type of biosurfactant, represent a potential strategy for both enhancing organismic resistance and in situ remediation of heavy metals contaminations. In-depth study of the mechanism of rhamnolipids synthesis in response to heavy metals stress, is indispensable for a wide use of biosurfactant-secreting microbes in bioremediation. In this study, we employed the wild-type and the rhlAB deficient strain (Δ rhlAB ) of Pseudomonas aeru…
Risk and protective factors for anxiety during Covid-19 pandemic
These findings revealed protective and risk factors associated with anxiety, and developed a simple method of identifying people who are at an increased risk of anxiety during COVID-19 pandemic
Contemporary Ethnic Retailing: An Expanded Framework of Study
Traditionally, ethnic retailing was narrowly defined as businesses that were owned and operated by members of an ethnic group, and that offered culturally specific goods and services to co-ethnic consumers. This definition has, however, been blurred, with some ethnic retailers now expanding their business scope to cross ethnic boundaries, and also with mainstream retailers entering the realm of ethnic retailing. These recent changes necessitate t…
Corporate Retailing
The retail sector in a typical capitalist market economy consists of diverse types of retailers. Some of them are corporate retailers, which operate multiple stores in the form of a chain. Others are independent retailers with a single store location. Corporate retailers can be further differentiated as publicly traded companies and privately owned chains. Relative to independent retailers, corporate retailers are small in number, but they comman…

Light-Induced Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of a Sunscreen Agent, 2-Phenylbenzimidazole in Salmonella typhimurium TA 102 and HaCaT Keratinocytes
2-phenylbenzimidazole (PBI) is an ingredient found in sunscreen agents. PBI can absorb the UV portion of the solar light and undergo a series of light-induced reactions to cause adverse effects in humans. Therefore, chemical and photochemical toxicity of PBI were investigated in the bacteria Salmonella typhimurium TA 102 and human skin keratinocyte cells. There is no appreciable bacteria death due to the exposure to PBI alone, indicating that PBI…

Effect of Co-Existing Biologically Relevant Molecules and Ions on DNA Photocleavage Caused by Pyrene and its Derivatives
Inorganic ions, coenzymes, amino acids, and saccharides could co-exist with toxic environmental chemicals, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in the cell. The presence of these co-existing chemicals can modulate the toxicity of the PAHs. One of the genotoxic effects by PAHs is light-induced cleavage, or photocleavage, of DNA. The effect of inorganic ions I-, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ and biological molecules ribofl…
Chinese Immigrants in Canada: Their Changing Composition and Economic Performance 1
Using landing records and tax data, this paper examines both the changing composition of the Chinese immigrants in Canada in the past two decades and their levels of economic performance. Our research found that, in addition to a shift in origin, economic immigrants have been on the rise and other classes of immigrants have declined. This has been accompanied by a significant increase in their educational qualifications and proficiency in a Canad…

Retail Structure of Beijing
One dynamic and central element in China's urban landscape is its retail structure. Yet, little attention has been given to the burgeoning retail sector in the vast literature that relates to China's economic reforms. Using the latest census of commercial activity in Beijing and recent empirical work undertaken in the city, we analyze Beijing's postreform retail structure and economy. Beijing's retail sector has been greatly diversified in both o…
China's Retail Sector in Transition
This paper examines China's retail sector with a focus on three major changes in the 1990s: the declining sales performance of key domestic retailers; entry of overseas retailers; and development of indigenous retail chains as a national strategy to modernize the retail industry and there by fend off foreign competition. While the central government approved the entry of only 18 overseas retailers, thousands of overseas-invested retail enterprise…

Chinese Commercial Activity in the Toronto Cma: New Development Patterns and Impacts
This study, which examines recent development patterns of Chinese commercial activity in the Toronto CMA, yielded three major discoveries. First, new development in the past 15 years brought about not only a proliferation of ethnic Chinese businesses, but also considerable changes in business structure: the traditionally predominant restaurants and grocery stores declined substantially in proportion, but businesses that provide various types of c…
Development of technopoles in China
Although limited technology transfer among countries has occurred in the past 15 years or so, industrialised countries are unwilling to transfer their state‐of‐the‐art technologies to less developed countries, for both political and economic reasons. As a result, China decided to speed research and development of its own high technologies and commercialise them by establishing in the late 1980s 52 High and New Technology Industry Development Zone…
