Global cities, the command and control centres of the integrated world economy, are facing a sustainability paradox of greater global competition and greater environmental pressure. This study explores the policy approaches to the sustainability paradox by integrating environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness into the development strategy for “the global city”, based on a case s...

The Universal Dependencies (UD) Project seeks to build a cross-lingual studies of treebanks, linguistic structures and parsing. Its goal is to create a set of multilingual harmonized treebanks that are designed according to a universal annotation scheme. In this paper, we report on the conversion of the Uyghur dependency treebank to a UD version of the treebank which we term the Uyghur Universa...

I n the cities of the developing world, the urban poor often inhabit marginal land that has less commercial value but is the only available land where they can afford to live. This includes land that is poorly drained and floods frequently, or on steep hillsides that are prone to landslides. The benefits of living nearer sources of employment and urban services usually outweigh the disadvantage...

two multivariate calibration methods are compared for the simultaneous chromatographic determination and separation of sulfamethoxazole (smx) and phthalazine (phz) by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc). multivariate calibration techniques such as classical least squares (cls) and inverse least squares (ils) were introduced into hplc to determine the quantification by using uv detecto...

This article is about annotating clauses with nonverbal predication in version 2 of Estonian UD treebank. Three possible annotation schemas are discussed, among which separating existential clauses from copular clauses would be theoretically most sound but would need too much manual labor and could possibly yield inconcistent annotation. Therefore, a solution has been adapted which separates ex...
