The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a multi-billion-dollar collection of ongoing and planned Chinese projects in Pakistan ranging from infrastructure development to the establishment special economic zones sharing technical expertise by China. For China, it an integral part its ambitious Belt Road Initiative (BRI) through which aims establish hegemony Eurasia Africa. Pakistan, opport...

With the rise of China and the implementation of the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” strategy, research on geo-economics between China and ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries has become increasingly important. Current studies mainly focus on influencing factors, while there is little consideration about how these influencing factors act on geo-economic relationships. Ther...

The mass spectromctnc study of the vaporization of the compounds GeO (hex) and GeO(am) and of the mixture GeO (hex) + Ge(c) made it *Z possible to establish their mode of vaporization: Ge02(hex) GeO(g) + 1/20 (I) n GeO(am) (GeO) (g) (n 1. 2. 3) (II) n n/2 GeOJhex) + n/2 Ge(c) (GeO) (g) (n = 1,2,3) (III) c. n The enthalpies of vaporization are AH° (I) 121. 2± 1.6 kcal/mole AH» (II, n=l) = 53.4 ±...

Geo-features play a key role in object-oriented or feature-based geo-processing system. So the strategy for how-tomanage and how-to-model the geo-features builds the main architecture of the entire system and also supports the efficiency and functionality of the system. Unlike the conventional 2D geo-processing system, geo-features in 3D GIS have lots to be considered to model regarding the eff...

A practical hierarchical component-based WebGIS model referred to as Geo-Union is presented. Geo-Union consists of four layers: storage layer, service layer, component layer and application layer. Service layer is partitioned into another two layers: Geo-Union client and Geo-Union server. The architectures and object diagram of each layer in Geo-Union are discussed in details. After that, four ...

An argumentation map is an online discussion forum for spatially related topics that combines the forum with an interactive map. The utility of an argumentation mapping tool highly depends on the accuracy and quantity of the geo-tags that link the discussion contributions to geographic locations. These geo-tags can be created manually by the users of the argumentation map or automatically by a ...

identifying the change trends in forms of land surface is one of the main topics in geomorphic system. in this view, we try to assess the stability level of geo systems, boundary changes, instability and prediction of surface forms and processes response. this paper tries to conduct a comparative analysis on the geomorphic equilibrium paradigms, critical thresholds, environmental and natural ha...

We have recently been witnessing the growing establishment of map-centered web-based geo-portals on national, regional and local levels. However, a particular issue with these geo-portals is that each instance has been implemented in different ways in terms of design, usability, functionality, interaction possibilities, map size and symbologies. In this paper, we try to tackle these shortcoming...
