As the main carrier and manifestation of elements, mobility such as people and material, traffic flow is of great significance for understanding the characteristics of spatial connection. In this paper, Harbin-Changchun agglomeration proposed by China's New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) is taken as a research object. With the data of intercity passenger traffic flow including highway and railway passenger trips between 73 county-level spatial units in the research area, a traffic flow model is constructed to measure the intensity of spatial connection.

Constructing and optimizing the ecological security pattern of urban agglomerations is important for promoting harmonious social-economic development and ecological protection. Using the Harbin-Changchun urban agglomeration as a case study, we have identified ecological sources based on the evaluation of ecosystem functions. Based on the resistance surface modified by nighttime light (NTL) data, the potential ecological corridors were identified using the least-cost path method, and key ecological corridors were extracted using the gravity model.

It also applies a synthetic evaluation model and coupling coordination model to estimate comprehensive indices of tourism economy and transport system and their coordinated relationships. The results show that: (1) during 2005–2014, the synthetic indices of tourism economy generally presented constantly upward tendency and the synthetic indices of transport represented wave-like raising trend in the PRD region; (2) during 2005–2014, the 9 cities in the PRD region gradually tended to have coordinated development between tourism economy and transport, and the central area of the PRD region developed faster than the flanks; (3) the correlations between the tourism economy and transport of the cities with abundant tourism resources, developed economy, and advanced transport facilities were more remarkable, and the coordination degrees were higher.

    A02-纳米材料与新能源 A02-Nanomaterials and New Energy 分会主席：麦立强、张加涛、彭海琳、张桥 A02-01 A Cut-and-paste Approach to 3D Graphene Oxide-based Architectures Jiaxing Huang Northwestern University Properly cut sheets can be converted into complex three-dimensional (3D) structures by three basic operations including folding, bending and pasting to render new functions. Folding and bending have been extensively employed in crumpling, origami and pop-up fabrications for 3D structures. Pasting joins different parts of a material together, and can create new geometries that are fundamentally unattainable by folding and bending. However, it has been much less explored, likely due to limited choice of weldable thin film materials and residue-free glues. Here we show that graphene oxide (GO) paper is one such suitable material. Stacked GO sheets can be readily loosened up and even re-dispersed in water, which upon drying, re-stack to form solid structures. Therefore, water can be utilized to heal local damages, glue separated pieces, and release internal stress in bent GO papers to fix their shapes. Complex and dynamic 3D GO architectures can thus be fabricated by a cut-and-paste approach, which is also applicable to GO based hybrid with carbon nanotubes or clay sheets.

  • Museum at Eldridge Street Presents New Exhibition: Harbin, China | Past/Present
    For Immediate Release MUSEUM AT ELDRIDGE STREET PRESENTS NEW EXHIBITION: HARBIN, CHINA | PAST/PRESENT ONCE-THRIVING COMMUNITY PARALLELS LOWER EAST SIDE New York, New York – An exhibition detailing a little-known immigration story debuts at the Museum at Eldridge Street on April 30, 2019. Harbin, China | Past/Present chronicles the unlikely Jewish community that flourished in a remote Chinese fishing village at the turn of the 20th century. Personal family stories, historic photographs and contemporary art merge in this exhibition to tell the story of a town shaped by industry, immigration, and rediscovery. In the remote city of Harbin in northeastern China, a grand synagogue has endured for over 100 years. Like the Eldridge Street Synagogue on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, it stands today as a symbol of another time. But, at the turn of the 20th century, it was the center of a thriving Jewish community in China. Attracted to work on the new Trans-Siberian Railway, immigrants travelled to this small fishing village in the 1890s. For Jewish emigres, Harbin offered a chance to live without the restrictions imposed on them in the Russian Empire. In short order, industry and the prospect of new freedoms transformed Harbin into a thriving city. It became home to many Jews as well as non-Jewish Russians, Chinese, and other groups – all living in one city but maintaining their own culture and customs. For Jewish residents, Harbin was a hospitable home until world events intruded. By the early 1960s, the last Jewish families had relocated, and their synagogues, schools, and other landmarks languished in disuse.
