  • Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait Through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks
    sustainability Article Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks Yan Ma * and Feng Xue School of Architecture and Urban-Rural Planning, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, Fujian, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 24 May 2019 Abstract: Globalization and the spread of information have made city networks more complex. The existing research on city network structures has usually focused on discussions of regional integration. With the development of interconnections among cities, however, the characterization of city network structures on a regional scale is limited in the ability to capture a network’s complexity. To improve this characterization, this study focused on network structures at both regional and local scales. Through the lens of function and innovation, we characterized the city network structure of the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through a social network analysis and a Fast Unfolding Community Detection algorithm. We found a significant imbalance in the innovation cooperation among cities in the region. When considering people flow, a multilevel spatial network structure had taken shape. Among cities with strong centrality, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Whenzhou had a significant spillover effect, which meant the region was depolarizing. Quanzhou and Ganzhou had a significant siphon effect, which was unsustainable. Generally, urbanization in small and midsize cities was common. These findings provide support for government policy making. Keywords: city network; spatial organization; people flows; innovation network 1.

  • Final Determinations of AD/CVD Investigations of Standard Pipe
    FACT SHEET Commerce Finds Unfair Dumping and Subsidization of Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe from the People’s Republic of China • On May 30, the Commerce Department announced its affirmative final determinations in the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations on imports of circular welded carbon quality steel pipe (standard pipe) from the People’s Republic of China (China). • Dumping is when a foreign company sells a product in the United States at less than normal value. Subsidies are financial assistance from foreign governments that benefit the production, manufacture, or exportation of goods. • Commerce has determined that Chinese producers/exporters sold standard pipe in the United States at 69.20 to 85.55 percent less than normal value, and received net countervailable subsidies ranging from 29.57 to 615.92 percent. • As a result of the final AD determination, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise and to collect a cash deposit or bond based on the final rates. Suspension of liquidation will only resume for purposes of countervailing duties if the International Trade Commission (ITC) issues an affirmative injury finding and Commerce issues a CVD order. • The rate of 85.55 percent for the Shuangjie Group and Jiangsu Yulong Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. in the AD investigation and 615.92 percent for the Shuangjie Group in the CVD investigation are based on total adverse facts available because these companies withdrew their participation and did not cooperate to the best of their ability in these investigations.

    water Review Ecological Degradation of the Yangtze and Nile Delta-Estuaries in Response to Dam Construction with Special Reference to Monsoonal and Arid Climate Settings Zhongyuan Chen 1,*, Hao Xu 2 and Yanna Wang 1 1 State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200062, China; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Spatial Information Techniques, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This study reviews the monsoonal Yangtze and the arid Nile deltas with the objective of understanding how the process–response between river-basin modifications and delta-estuary ecological degradation are interrelated under contrasting hydroclimate dynamics. Our analysis shows that the Yangtze River had a long-term stepwise reduction in sediment and silicate fluxes to estuary due to dam construction since the 1960s, especially after the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) closed in 2003. By contrast, the Nile had a drastic reduction of sediment, freshwater, and silicate fluxes immediately after the construction of the Aswan High Dam (AHD) in 1964. Seasonal rainfall in the mid-lower Yangtze basin (below TGD) complemented riverine materials to its estuary, but little was available to the Nile coast below the AHD in the hyper-arid climate setting. Nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P) fluxes in both river basins have increased because of the overuse of N- and P-fertilizer, land-use changes, Citation: Chen, Z.; Xu, H.; Wang, Y. urbanization, and industrialization.
