On the analysis of stochastic divide and conquer algorithms

This paper develops general tools for the analysis of stochastic divide and conquer algorithms. We concentrate on the average performance and the distribution of the running time of the algorithm. As a special example we analyse the average performance and the running time distribution of the (2k + 1)-median version of Quicksort. Online publication October 13, 2000.

城市空间扩张及结构演化的制度因素分析

改革开放以来,中国城市的发展环境发生了巨大的变迁,制度力成为深刻影响城市空间扩张与结构演变的关键因素。在转型期,中国只有加快推进地方政府企业化治理体系,土地制度、土地规制等相应的制度性变革,才是实现城市空间的集约增长、理性增长和结构优化的根本之策。

Defining and characterizing urban boundaries: A fractal analysis of theoretical cities and Belgian cities

In this paper we extract the morphological boundaries of urban agglomerations and characterize boundary shapes using eight fractal and nonfractal spatial indexes. Analyses were first performed on six archetypal theoretical cities, and then on Belgium’s 18 largest towns. The results show that: (1) the relationship between the shape of the urban boundary (fractal dimension, dendricity, and compactness) and the built morphology within the urban agglomeration (fractal dimension, proportion of buildings close to the urban boundary) is not straightforward; (2) each city is a unique combination of the morphological characteristics considered here; (3) due to their different morphological characteristics, the planning potential of Flemish and Walloon cities seems to be very different.     

Simulation of the urban climate variations in connection with the transformations of the city of Nantes since the 17th century

The paper seeks to quantify the effect of urban politics on the microclimate of the city of Nantes (France), in particular those initiated by the sanitarians in the mid-19th century to find a remedy for the insalubrity that had been developing with urban densification since the late 17th century. Intensive historical research was first carried out in order to define and date the major transformations undergone by the city, its structure (densification, then widening of the streets, filling of water courses), the lifestyle habits (heating) or the building practices (appearance of stone and paving, higher buildings, insulation). This led to the definition of 5 characteristic states of the city, in 1680, 1756, 1835, 1880 and 1945.     

包容性增长与城市规划范式转换

文章简要剖析了包容性增长的内涵,认为城市规划要想促进实现包容性增长,就必须有利于转型、公平和民生,这使传统上以经济增长为核心、自上而下规划模式,无论是理念、方法还是关注重点都需要进行根本性的范式转换。     

Integration of Low-Impact Development into the International Stormwater BMP Database

Low impact development (LID) strategies are being encouraged in many communities as an approach to reduce potential adverse impacts of development on receiving streams. Many questions exist regarding how well various LID strategies perform in different settings, just as similar questions have been raised regarding performance of traditional stormwater best management practices (BMPs). Whereas historical focus on BMP performance has been water quality concentrations or loads, characterization of volume reduction benefits for both conventional and LID practices is increasingly an objective of researchers and stormwater managers. More than a decade ago, Urban Water Resources Research Council (UWRRC) members worked to develop a set of standardized monitoring and reporting protocols for traditional BMPs and to establish a master database for the purpose of evaluating BMP performance and the factors affecting performance. This effort culminated in the International Stormwater BMP Database (www.bmpdatabase.org), which contains data for more than 360 BMPs and continues to operate as a clearinghouse for stormwater BMP data and performance analyses. During 2008–2009, the International Stormwater BMP Database project expanded to better integrate LID into the database and develop a set of metrics that can be used to characterize BMP performance with regard to surface runoff volume reduction. This paper provides a condensed overview and progress report on the LID-focused effort, including the following topics: (1)?monitoring guidance for LID at the overall site development level, (2)?an overview of recent changes to the International Stormwater BMP Database to better accommodate LID studies, (3)?a summary of LID studies currently included in the database, and (4)?a proposed approach for evaluating performance of LID studies with regard to reducing surface runoff volumes.     

城市增长边界的性质及划定方法探讨——杭州市生态带保护与控制规划实践

随着我国城市化进程加速推进,城市增长与土地资源和生态环境保护等矛盾已日益凸显。划定城市增长边界(UGB)是协调建设与生态保护的有效手段。结合杭州生态带规划案例,对城市增长边界的性质进行辨析,提出刚性UGB与弹性UGB的区别。运用生态敏感性分析、景观生态安全格局构建和建设用地规划等方法,以及面对建设与保护冲突的规划决策方法,探讨了UGB的划定方法,并指出UGB在我国规划应用中需要进一步完善的方面。
