Layout Optimization of Logistics and Warehouse Land Based on a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm—Taking Wuhan City as an Example
With the rapid development of the logistics industry, the demand for logistics activities is increasing significantly. Concurrently, growing urbanization is causing the space for logistics and warehousing to become limited. Thus, more and more attention is being paid to the planning and construction of logistics facilities. However, due to spatiotemporal trajectory data (such as truck GPS data) being used less often in planning, the method of qua…

Serum concentrations of different or multiple vitamins and Sarcopenia risk among US adults: Insights from NHANES
This study elucidates an inverse correlation between serum concentrations of different or multiple vitamins and sarcopenia risk, emphasizing a non-linear association, particularly with suboptimal vitamin D concentrations. Given the limitations of the NHANES study, further researches are required to clarify the existence of these relationships
Burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attributable to non-optimal temperature, 1990–2044: Six countries on the same isotherm
In COPD burden caused by non-optimal temperature, low temperature played a more important role, and it was affected by sex, age, period, cohort and SDI. Over the next 25 years, ASMR in COPD was predicted to decline in all countries except the USA
Global, regional, and national burden of non-communicable diseases attributable to occupational asbestos exposure 1990–2019 and prediction to 2035: Worsening or improving
Understanding the burden associated with occupational asbestos exposure on a global and regional scale is necessary to implement coordinated prevention and control strategies. By the GBD Study 2019, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of the non-communicable diseases burden attributable to occupational asbestos exposure. In 2019, 239,330 deaths and 4,189,000 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide due to occupational asbestos exposur…
Do Locations of Employment and Residence Influence whether People Use Virtual Social Networks? A Case Study of Residents in Wuhan, China
High-speed information technology development has made virtual social networking (VSN) a social interaction trend. Studies have been carried out to investigate the spatial clustering characteristics of the locations where there is online social interaction, but they have not yet concentrated on the geographic phenomenon associated with the distribution of occupational and residential locations of citizens who use VSN. According to usage statistic…
Is Ride-Hailing an Effective Tool for Improving Transportation Services in Suburban New Towns in China? Evidence from Wuhan Unicom Users’ Mobile Phone Usage Big Data
Ride-hailing, a newly emerging mobility service that is popular worldwide, has become an efficient new mode of transportation. Nonetheless, the use and value of ride-hailing remain unclear for newly developed areas in the suburbs. We crawled through the usage data of 10 ride-hailing apps from Wuhan, China, and used Spatial Autocorrelation and Geographic Weighted Regression (GWR) to explore the role of ride-hailing in suburban new towns. We found …
Influences of Built Environment at Residential and Work Locations on Commuting Distance: Evidence from Wuhan, China
Ensuring that commuting distance remains within a certain range has important effect of residents’ quality of life. Although many studies have investigated the relationship between the built environment and residents’ commuting distance, limited evidence has been provided of the impact of job location. As such, in this study, we used data from the Wuhan Metropolitan Development Area in China and applied Bayesian linear regression (BLR) models to …
Relationship between Built Environment and Covid-19 Dispersal Based on Age Stratification: A Case Study of Wuhan
The outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) has become the focus of attention in the field of urban geography. Built environment, such as the layout of public spaces like transportation hubs and urban open spaces, is an important factor affecting the spread of the epidemic. However, due to the different behavior patterns of different age groups, the intensity and frequency of their use of various built environment spaces may vary. Based o…
An urban eco-environmental sensitive areas assessment method based on variable weights combination
When assessing urban eco-environmental sensitive areas (Urban Eco-ESAs) by multi-criteria evaluation method, the widely used weighted linear combination method may inevitably lead to some factors of high sensitive value being neutralized by other factors of low sensitive value, resulting in the neglect of some eco-sensitive areas as a consequence, while on the other hand, Boolean OR combination method, which give a result of high sensitive value …
Detailed Assessment of the Spatial Distribution of Urban Parks According to Day and Travel Mode Based on Web Mapping API: A Case Study of Main Parks in Wuhan
This article employs two indexes-accessibility and effective service ratio (ESR)-to assess the spatial distribution of urban parks with the consideration of both equity and efficiency. Traditional approaches to calculate these two indexes are often based on the shortest distance to the park within its service radius by network analysis. Such approaches cannot reflect the actual travel behaviors of urban residents and require extensive data collec…
Comparison of Anthropometric and Atherogenic Indices as Screening Tools of Metabolic Syndrome in the Kazakh Adult Population in Xinjiang
According to the IDF, ATP III and JIS criteria, both the WHtR and LAP were better indices for the screening of MetS. The WHtR and LAP parallel test was the most accurate
Interactions of Six SNPs in Abca1gene and Obesity in Low HDL-C Disease in Kazakh of China
The differences in serum lipid levels between normal HDL-C and low HDL-C subjects among Kazakhs might partly result from ABCA1 gene polymorphisms; ABCA1 gene polymorphisms may be associated with low HDL-C disease; the low HDL-C disease might partly result from interactions between ABCA1 gene polymorphisms and obesity; the C-C-C-A-A-G, T-C-C-A-A-A, and T-C-C-A-A-G haplotypes may serve as risk factors of low HDL-C disease among Kazakhs, the C-C-C-A…
An Evaluation on the Effect of Health Education and of Low-Dose Statin in Dyslipidemia among Low-Income Rural Uyghur Adults in Far Western China: A Comprehensive Intervention Study
Blood lipid levels of Uygur patients with dyslipidemia can be effectively improved through health education combined with low-dose statin administration. This suggests that national strategies in public health be developed to improve the treatments to low-income rural minorities with dyslipidemia
Ethnic Differences in the Prevalence of High Homocysteine Levels Among Low-Income Rural Kazakh and Uyghur Adults in Far Western China and Its Implications for Preventive Public Health
HHcy was found to be common among the Kazakh and Uyghur. The prevalences of HHcy and H-type hypertension were high among both ethnicities and differed depending on gender and age. Community interventions should be conducted to improve public health conditions among the Kazakh and Uyghur in Xinjiang
Association of Serum Free Fatty Acids with Hypertension and Insulin Resistance among Rural Uyghur Adults in Far Western China
FFA is an independent factor for IR and hypertension among Uyghur adults in a rural area of Xinjiang
China EFL: Teaching with movies
Some observations on using motion pictures to teach Business English. THE USE of motion pictures or other captioned films as part of teaching English as a foreign language has markedly increased in recent years in China. Because of this, we undertook a four-year experiment to determine how effective the use of English-language movies has been in the teaching of business. From this experiment it became clear that a cavalier use of movies in effect…
Linguistic failures
Heart-felt opposition to the status and spread of English in the world at large and most particularly in China today. It can hardly be denied that England has given the world maritime law, contract law, and an international language. However, whether by accident or design, the effect of these ‘gifts’ over time has, we would argue, been the destruction of many ethnic customs, social structures, and other aspects of culture. There appears to be lit…
China's ESL goals: Are they being met
A review of the needs and opportunities of Chinese university students learning English, with a particular focus on the work of a ‘Foreign Expert’ in a Henan college
China and Chinese, or Chingland and Chinglish
A discussion of the sociolinguistic risks faced by the People's Republic of China in rapidly opening up to Western influences in both economic and linguistic terms. The writers argue against what they consider a currently over-enthusiastic adoption of English in which ‘a Westernised China ... might more aptly, if ruefully, be referred to as “Chingland”.’

The Chinglish syndrome: Do recent developments endanger the language policy of China
A GREAT DEAL has been said and written about various approaches to the successful methodology for teaching English as a second language in China. Entire professional journals are devoted to the subject, such as Teaching English In China and Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press . But no matter how much is written, and no matter what teaching method is employed, the bottom line is that the average Chinese student learns to communicate orall…
