Blue Skies Over Beijing

Economic Growth and the Environment in China

By: Matthew E. Kahn,Siqi Zheng

How individuals and the government are changing life in China's polluted cities Over the past thirty years, even as China's economy has grown by leaps and bounds, the environmental quality of its urban centers has precipitously declined due to heavy industrial output and coal consumption. The country is currently the world's largest greenhouse-gas emitter and several of the most polluted cities in the world are in China. Yet, millions of people continue moving to its cities seeking opportunities. Blue Skies over Beijing investigates the ways that China's urban development impacts local and global environmental challenges. Focusing on day-to-day choices made by the nation's citizens, families, and government, Matthew Kahn and Siqi Zheng examine how Chinese urbanites are increasingly demanding cleaner living conditions and consider where China might be headed in terms of sustainable urban growth. Kahn and Zheng delve into life in China's cities from the personal perspectives of the rich, middle class, and poor, and how they cope with the stresses of pollution. Urban parents in China have a strong desire to protect their children from environmental risk, and calls for a better quality of life from the rising middle class places pressure on government officials to support greener policies. Using the historical evolution of American cities as a comparison, the authors predict that as China's economy moves away from heavy manufacturing toward cleaner sectors, many of China's cities should experience environmental progress in upcoming decades. Looking at pressing economic and environmental issues in urban China, Blue Skies over Beijing shows that a cleaner China will mean more social stability for the nation and the world.

Data Association for Multi-Object Visual Tracking

Data Association for Multi-Object Visual Tracking

By: Margrit Betke,Zheng Wu

In the human quest for scientific knowledge, empirical evidence is collected by visual perception. Tracking with computer vision takes on the important role to reveal complex patterns of motion that exist in the world we live in. Multi-object tracking algorithms provide new information on how groups and individual group members move through three-dimensional space. They enable us to study in depth the relationships between individuals in moving groups. These may be interactions of pedestrians on a crowded sidewalk, living cells under a microscope, or bats emerging in large numbers from a cave. Being able to track pedestrians is important for urban planning; analysis of cell interactions supports research on biomaterial design; and the study of bat and bird flight can guide the engineering of aircraft. We were inspired by this multitude of applications to consider the crucial component needed to advance a single-object tracking system to a multi-object tracking system—data association. Data association in the most general sense is the process of matching information about newly observed objects with information that was previously observed about them. This information may be about their identities, positions, or trajectories. Algorithms for data association search for matches that optimize certain match criteria and are subject to physical conditions. They can therefore be formulated as solving a "constrained optimization problem"—the problem of optimizing an objective function of some variables in the presence of constraints on these variables. As such, data association methods have a strong mathematical grounding and are valuable general tools for computer vision researchers. This book serves as a tutorial on data association methods, intended for both students and experts in computer vision. We describe the basic research problems, review the current state of the art, and present some recently developed approaches. The book covers multi-object tracking in two and three dimensions. We consider two imaging scenarios involving either single cameras or multiple cameras with overlapping fields of view, and requiring across-time and across-view data association methods. In addition to methods that match new measurements to already established tracks, we describe methods that match trajectory segments, also called tracklets. The book presents a principled application of data association to solve two interesting tasks: first, analyzing the movements of groups of free-flying animals and second, reconstructing the movements of groups of pedestrians. We conclude by discussing exciting directions for future research.

Improving the Clinical Effectiveness of Metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing (mNGS) in Infection Disease Diagnosis and Treatment: Linking the NGS Specialists and Clinicians, volume II

By: Beiwen Zheng

Timely and accurate pathogen diagnosis is critical for effective treatment, outbreak prevention and precise antibiotics administration of infectious diseases, which remains a challenge in clinical practice. Metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) allows researchers and laboratory specialists to analyze the mixed collection of sequencing reads in human clinical samples, including sequences from bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites besides the host. This new technology shows great potential in pathogen diagnosis. The sensitivity and faster turnaround time are higher than conventional clinical microbiology tests, especially for fastidious and atypical pathogens. However, current mNGS based pathogen detection and diagnosis are facing challenges from both technical and practical aspects. First, sequencing noise can be introduced from different steps such as samples preparation, sequencing, data analysis and reporting algorithm. Also, the interpretation of the results such as detection limits and detection rates are not straightforward to clinicians, compared with traditional culture-based technologies. Such challenges and considerations should be fully addressed before the wild application of mNGS as a pathogen detection tool. Further, these clarifications might help to properly find the best clinical application scenarios, refine the medical treatments, and improve the clinical effectiveness of mNGS in complex infectious diseases. This Research Topic is focused on the application of mNGS for infectious diseases diagnosis and treatment, including experiment process and clinical usage. Its purpose is to level up the clarification of NGS process, to support the development of efficient experiment methods, data interpretation algorithms and to report good examples of related clinical applications. We hope this Research Topic could facilitate the discovery of novel methods and help NGS specialists and clinicians to know mutual concerns and work together to improve the clinical effectiveness of mNGS.

Memory Politics, Identity and Conflict

Historical Memory as a Variable

By: Zheng Wang

This book focuses on the methodology of research on historical memory and contributes to theoretical discussions concerning the use of historical memory as a variable to explain political action and social movement. The chapters of the book conceptualize the relationship between historical memory and national identity formation, perceptions, and policy-making. The author particularly analyses how contested memory and the related social discourse can lead to nationalism and international conflict. Based on theories and research from multiple fields of studies, this book proposes a series of analytic frameworks for the purpose of conceptualizing the functions of historical memory. These analytic frameworks can help categorize, measure, and subsequently demonstrate the effects of historical memory. This book also discusses how to use public opinion polls, textbooks, important texts and documents, monuments and memory sites for conducting research to examine the functions of historical memory.

Online Resolution of E-commerce Disputes

Perspectives from the European Union, the UK, and China

By: Jie Zheng

This book discusses how technological innovations have affected the resolution of disputes arising from electronic commerce in the European Union, UK and China. Online dispute resolution (ODR) is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which information technology is used to establish a process that is more effective and conducive to resolving the specific types of dispute for which it was created. This book focuses on out-of-court ODR and the resolution of disputes in the field of electronic commerce. It explores the potential of ODR in this specific e-commerce context and investigates whether the current use of ODR is in line with the principles of access to justice and procedural fairness. Moreover, it examines the major concerns surrounding the development of ODR, e.g. the extent to which electronic ADR agreements are recognized by national courts in cross-border e-commerce transactions, how procedural justice is ensured in ODR proceedings, and whether ODR outcomes can be effectively enforced. To this end, the book assesses the current and potential role of ODR in resolving e-commerce disputes, identifies the legal framework for and legal barriers to the development of ODR, and makes recommendations as to the direction in which practice and the current legal framework should evolve. In closing, the book draws on the latest legislation in the field of e-commerce law and dispute resolution in order to make recommendations for future ODR design, such as the EU Platform-to-Business Regulation on Promoting Fairness and Transparency for Business Users of Online Intermediation Services (2019) and the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (2018), which provide the legal basis for ODR’s future development.
