description: В современном российском высшем образовании наметилась тенденция к модернизации, к переходу от традиционных моделей обучения к инновационным, практикоориентированным моделям. Проектный подход в образовании — достаточно новое и малоизученное явление, вызывающее в педагогическом сообществе множество вопросов, но научных работ, посвященных изучению практического опыта реализации проектной модели в высшей школе и ее результатов, появляется достаточно мало. Статья посвящена роли медиапроектов в журналистском образовании. Сегодня для формирования медиаграмотности уже недостаточно одной теории — необходимо получение практических навыков разработки и производства медиапродуктов в различных форматах. С этой целью на кафедре журналистики Новгородского государственного университета имени Ярослава Мудрого на протяжении девяти лет реализовывается серия образовательных медиапроектов в рамках дисциплин «Технология СМИ: производство газеты» и «Монтаж телесюжета: теория и практика». В их основе - принцип проектной деятельности: студенты учатся генерировать идеи и воплощать их в жизнь, получая конкретный результат. Под руководством преподавателя-куратора студенты разрабатывают концепцию учебной газеты, подбирают темы публикаций, разрабатывают систему рубрик, верстают его, обсуждают результаты на итоговой «летучке». Кроме того, студенты снимают и монтируют видеосюжеты на молодежную тематику. Непрерывное включение студентов в процесс разработки и выпуска медиапроизведений различных форматов позволяет сформировать у студентов профессионально значимые компетенции и вызвать устойчивый интерес к журналистике.

description: This paper is mainly devoted to lay an empirical foundation for further research on complex spatial dynamics of two-population interaction. Based on the US population census data, a rural and urban population interaction model is developed. Subsequently a logistic equation on percentage urban is derived from the urbanization model so that spatial interaction can be connected mathematically with logistic growth. The numerical experiment by using the discretized urban-rural population interaction model of urbanization shows a period-doubling bifurcation and chaotic behavior, which is identical in patterns to those from the simple mathematical models of logistic growth in ecology. This suggests that the complicated dynamics of logistic growth may come from some kind of the nonlinear interaction. The results from this study help to understand urbanization, urban-rural population interaction, chaotic dynamics, and spatial complexity of geographical systems.

description: Background

Timely linkage to care by newly-diagnosed HIV+ individuals remains a significant challenge to achieving UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals. Current World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend initiating anti-retroviral treatment (ART) regardless of CD4+ count, with priority given to those with CD4+ <350 cells/μl. We evaluated the impact of not having a day-of-diagnosis CD4+ count blood draw, as recommended by South African guidelines, on time to linkage, using data from a prospective cohort study.

Methods

Individuals (N = 2773) were interviewed prior to HIV counseling and testing at three public sector primary care clinics in the greater Durban area; 785 were newly-diagnosed and eligible for the cohort study; 459 (58.5%) joined and were followed for eight months with three structured assessments. Linkage to care, defined as returning to clinic for CD4+ count results, and day-of-diagnosis blood draw were self-reported.

Results

Overall, 72.5% did not have a day-of-diagnosis CD4+ count blood draw, and 19.2% of these never returned. Compared with a day-of-diagnosis blood draw, the adjusted hazard ratio of linkage (AHRlinkage) associated with not having day-of-diagnosis blood draw was 0.66 (95%CI: 0.51, 0.85). By 4 months, 54.8% of those without day-of-diagnosis blood draw vs. 75.2% with one were linked to care (chi-squared p = 0.004). Of those who deferred blood draw, 48.3% cited clinic-related and 51.7% cited personal reasons. AHRlinkage was 0.60 (95%CI: 0.44, 0.82) for clinic-related and 0.53 (95%CI: 0.38, 0.75) for personal reasons relative to having day-of-diagnosis blood draw.

Conclusions

Newly-diagnosed HIV+ individuals who did not undergo CD4+ count blood draw on the day they were diagnosed—regardless of the reason for deferring—had delayed linkage to care relative to those with same-day blood draw. To enhance prompt linkage to care even when test and treat protocols are implemented, all diagnostic testing required before ART initiation should be performed on the same day as HIV testing/diagnosis. This may require modifying clinic procedures to enable overnight blood storage if same-day draws cannot be performed, and providing additional counseling to encourage newly-diagnosed individuals to complete day-of-diagnosis testing. Tracking HIV+ individuals via clinic registries should commence immediately from diagnosis to reduce these early losses to care.
Language development: Form and function in emerging grammars

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1970
Subjects: Cognition in children

description: The research reported is an investigation into the early acquisition of grammar by three children from the age of approximately 19 months. Previous psycholinguistic studies of child language in this period had revealed the orderly arrangements of words, but described only the form of early sentences and not their linguistic function or meaning. In this study, in contrast, nonlinguistic information from situational and behavioral context was used to infer the semantic intent of the children’s utterances for analyzing the development of early grammar. Judgments of semantic intent made it possible to describe the inherent structure of early word combinations so that conclusions could be drawn about the children's knowledge of semantic-syntactic relationship in the derivation of sentences. The development of the semantics and syntax of negation was described further until mean length of utterance approached 3.0 morphemes and the children were about 28 months old. Attending to what the children said in relation to what they were talking about−the situation and behavior that cooccurred with what they said−led to the conclusion that language acquisition is critically related to developments in cognition, perception, and a child’s interaction in a world of objects, events, and relations. Other conclusions concerned constraints that appeared to operate on the developing length and complexity of utterances, and the different strategies the children used in their approaches to learning the language. A large body of data is presented in support of these conclusions with an extensive catalog of the children's earliest two-word utterances, negative sentences, and syntactic and single-word lexicons.

description: Due to growing population and technological advances, global electricity consumption, and consequently also CO2 emissions are increasing. The residential sector makes up 25% of global electricity consumption and has great potential to increase efficiency and reduce CO2 footprint without sacrificing comfort. However, a lack of uniform consumption data at the household level spanning multiple regions hinders large-scale studies and robust multi-region model development. This paper introduces a multi-region dataset compiled from publicly available sources and presented in a uniform format. This data enables machine learning tasks such as disaggregation, demand forecasting, appliance ON/OFF classification, etc. Furthermore, we develop an RDF knowledge graph that characterizes the electricity consumption of the households and contextualizes it with household related properties enabling semantic queries and interoperability with other open knowledge bases like Wikidata and DBpedia. This structured data can be utilized to inform various stakeholders towards data-driven policy and business development.

description: We use our integrated SDSS photometry for 96 globular clusters in $g$ and $z$, as well as $r$ and $i$ photometry for a subset of 56 clusters, to derive the integrated colour-metallicity relation (CMR) for Galactic globular clusters. We compare this relation to previous work, including extragalactic clusters, and examine the influence of age, present-day mass function variations, structural parameters and the morphology of the horizontal branch on the relation. Moreover, we scrutinise the scatter introduced by foreground extinction (including differential reddening) and show that the scatter in the colour-metallicity relation can be significantly reduced combining two reddening laws from the literature. In all CMRs we find some low-reddening young GCs that are offset to the CMR. Most of these outliers are associated with the Sagittarius system. Simulations show that this is due less to age than to a different enrichment history. Finally, we introduce colour-metallicity relations based on the infrared Calcium triplet, which are clearly non-linear when compared to $(g^\prime-i^\prime)$ and $(g^\prime-z^\prime)$ colours.

First hints of pressure waves in a helical extragalactic jet: S5~0836+710

description: One of the open questions in extragalactic jet Astrophysics is related to the nature of the observed radio jet, namely whether it traces a pattern or the flow structure itself. In this paper I summarize the evidence collected for the presence of waves in extragalactic jets. The evidence points towards the peak of emission in helical jets corresponding to pressure-maxima of a wave that is generated within the core region and propagates downstream. Making use of a number of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the radio jet in the quasar S5~0836+710 at different frequencies and epochs, Perucho et al. (2012) were able to observe wave-like behavior within the observed radio-jet. The ridge-line of the emission in the jet coincides within the errors at all frequencies. Moreover, small differences between epochs at 15 GHz reveal wave-like motion of the ridge-line transversal to the jet propagation axis. The authors conclude that the helicity is a real, physical structure. I report here on those results and discuss this result in the light of new results recently announced by other authors that confirm the presence of waves in the close-by object BL Lac (Cohen et al., in preparation), and the possible magnetic or hydrodynamic nature.

description: Increasing clinical and biochemical evidence implicate mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathophysiology of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but little is known about the biological basis for this connection. A possible cause of ASD is the genetic variation in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence, which has yet to be thoroughly investigated in large genomic studies of ASD. Here we evaluated mtDNA variation, including the mixture of different mtDNA molecules in the same individual (i.e., heteroplasmy), using whole-exome sequencing data from mother-proband-sibling trios from simplex families (n = 903) where only one child is affected by ASD. We found that heteroplasmic mutations in autistic probands were enriched at non-polymorphic mtDNA sites (P = 0.0015), which were more likely to confer deleterious effects than heteroplasmies at polymorphic mtDNA sites. Accordingly, we observed a ~1.5-fold enrichment of nonsynonymous mutations (P = 0.0028) as well as a ~2.2-fold enrichment of predicted pathogenic mutations (P = 0.0016) in autistic probands compared to their non-autistic siblings. Both nonsynonymous and predicted pathogenic mutations private to probands conferred increased risk of ASD (Odds Ratio, OR[95% CI] = 1.87[1.14–3.11] and 2.55[1.26–5.51], respectively), and their influence on ASD was most pronounced in families with probands showing diminished IQ and/or impaired social behavior compared to their non-autistic siblings. We also showed that the genetic transmission pattern of mtDNA heteroplasmies with high pathogenic potential differed between mother-autistic proband pairs and mother-sibling pairs, implicating developmental and possibly in utero contributions. Taken together, our genetic findings substantiate pathogenic mtDNA mutations as a potential cause for ASD and synergize with recent work calling attention to their unique metabolic phenotypes for diagnosis and treatment of children with ASD.

description: Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI), one of the most common sensory disorders, can be mitigated, but not cured or eliminated. To identify genetic influences underlying ARHI, we conducted a genome-wide association study of ARHI in 6,527 cases and 45,882 controls among the non-Hispanic whites from the Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging (GERA) cohort. We identified two novel genome-wide significant SNPs: rs4932196 (odds ratio = 1.185, p = 4.0x10-11), 52Kb 3’ of ISG20, which replicated in a meta-analysis of the other GERA race/ethnicity groups (1,025 cases, 12,388 controls, p = 0.00094) and in a UK Biobank case-control analysis (30,802 self-reported cases, 78,586 controls, p = 0.015); and rs58389158 (odds ratio = 1.132, p = 1.8x10-9), which replicated in the UK Biobank (p = 0.00021). The latter SNP lies just outside exon 8 and is highly correlated (r2 = 0.96) with the missense SNP rs5756795 in exon 7 of TRIOBP, a gene previously associated with prelingual nonsyndromic hearing loss. We further tested these SNPs in phenotypes from audiologist notes available on a subset of GERA (4,903 individuals), stratified by case/control status, to construct an independent replication test, and found a significant effect of rs58389158 on speech reception threshold (SRT; overall GERA meta-analysis p = 1.9x10-6). We also tested variants within exons of 132 other previously-identified hearing loss genes, and identified two common additional significant SNPs: rs2877561 (synonymous change in ILDR1, p = 6.2x10-5), which replicated in the UK Biobank (p = 0.00057), and had a significant GERA SRT (p = 0.00019) and speech discrimination score (SDS; p = 0.0019); and rs9493627 (missense change in EYA4, p = 0.00011) which replicated in the UK Biobank (p = 0.0095), other GERA groups (p = 0.0080), and had a consistent significant result for SRT (p = 0.041) and suggestive result for SDS (p = 0.081). Large cohorts with GWAS data and electronic health records may be a useful method to characterize the genetic architecture of ARHI.

description: Mechanisms underlying the emergence of orientation selectivity in the primary visual cortex are highly debated. Here we study the contribution of inhibition-dominated random recurrent networks to orientation selectivity, and more generally to sensory processing. By simulating and analyzing large-scale networks of spiking neurons, we investigate tuning amplification and contrast invariance of orientation selectivity in these networks. In particular, we show how selective attenuation of the common mode and amplification of the modulation component take place in these networks. Selective attenuation of the baseline, which is governed by the exceptional eigenvalue of the connectivity matrix, removes the unspecific, redundant signal component and ensures the invariance of selectivity across different contrasts. Selective amplification of modulation, which is governed by the operating regime of the network and depends on the strength of coupling, amplifies the informative signal component and thus increases the signal-to-noise ratio. Here, we perform a mean-field analysis which accounts for this process.

description: Recent studies have shown that systems combining mathematical modeling and Bayesian inference methods can be used to generate real-time forecasts of future infectious disease incidence. Here we develop such a system to study and forecast respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is the most common cause of acute lower respiratory infection and bronchiolitis. Advanced warning of the epidemic timing and volume of RSV patient surges has the potential to reduce well-documented delays of treatment in emergency departments. We use a susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model in conjunction with an ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF) and ten years of regional U.S. specimen data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The data and EAKF are used to optimize the SIR model and i) estimate critical epidemiological parameters over the course of each outbreak and ii) generate retrospective forecasts. The basic reproductive number, R0, is estimated at 3.0 (standard deviation 0.6) across all seasons and locations. The peak magnitude of RSV outbreaks is forecast with nearly 70% accuracy (i.e. nearly 70% of forecasts within 25% of the actual peak), four weeks before the predicted peak. This work represents a first step in the development of a real-time RSV prediction system.
Power-law distributions based on exponential distributions: Latent scaling, spurious Zipf's law, and fractal rabbits

description: The different between the inverse power function and the negative exponential function is significant. The former suggests a complex distribution, while the latter indicates a simple distribution. However, the association of the power-law distribution with the exponential distribution has been seldom researched. Using mathematical derivation and numerical experiments, I reveal that a power-law distribution can be created through averaging an exponential distribution. For the distributions defined in a 1-dimension space, the scaling exponent is 1; while for those defined in a 2-dimension space, the scaling exponent is 2. The findings of this study are as follows. First, the exponential distributions suggest a hidden scaling, but the scaling exponents suggest a Euclidean dimension. Second, special power-law distributions can be derived from exponential distributions, but they differ from the typical power-law distribution. Third, it is the real power-law distribution that can be related with fractal dimension. This study discloses the inherent relationship between simplicity and complexity. In practice, maybe the result presented in this paper can be employed to distinguish the real power laws from spurious power laws (e.g., the fake Zipf distribution).

Objects Appear Smaller as They Recede: How Proper Motions Can Directly Reveal the Cosmic Expansion, Provide Geometric Distances, and Measure the Hubble Constant

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Objects and structures gravitationally decoupled from the Hubble expansion will appear to shrink in angular size as the universe expands. Observations of extragalactic proper motions can thus directly reveal the cosmic expansion. Relatively static structures such as galaxies or galaxy clusters can potentially be used to measure the Hubble constant, and test masses in large scale structures can measure the overdensity. Since recession velocities and angular separations can be precisely measured, apparent proper motions can also provide geometric distance measurements to static structures. The apparent fractional angular compression of static objects is 15 microarcseconds per year in the local universe; this motion is modulated by the overdensity in dynamic expansion-decoupled structures. We use the Titov et al. quasar proper motion catalog to examine the pairwise proper motion of a sparse network of test masses. Small-separation pairs (< 200 Mpc comoving) are too few to measure the expected effect, yielding an inconclusive 8.3 +/- 14.9 microarcsec/yr. Large-separation pairs (200-1500 Mpc) show no net convergence or divergence for z < 1, -2.7 +/- 3.7 microarcsec/yr, consistent with pure Hubble expansion and significantly inconsistent with static structures, as expected. For all pairs a "null test" gives -0.36 +/- 0.62 microarcsec/yr, consistent with Hubble expansion, and excludes a static locus at ~5-10 sigma significance for z ~ 0.5-2.0. The observed large-separation pairs provide a reference frame for small-separation pairs that will significantly deviate from the Hubble flow. The current limitation is the number of small-separation objects with precise astrometry, but Gaia will address this and will likely detect the cosmic recession.

description: The purpose of the D1.4 Data Management Plan Year 1 is to provide an overview of all datasets collected and generated within the MooringSense project, and to define the consortium’s data management policy that will be implemented. This initial version of the Data Management Plan defines the general policy and approach to data management in MooringSense. It covers management issues related to both administrative and technical aspects (e.g. collection of data and metadata, publication and deposition of open data, repository compliance with the Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe- OpenAIRE). The MooringSense Data Management Plan follows the Horizon 2020 FAIR Data Management Plan (DMP) Template. It is intended to be a living document in which information will be made available on a finer level of granularity through updates as the implementation of the project progresses and when significant changes occur. In this regard, it summarises the intermediate results of the data collection activities that are being carried out Next versions of the Data Management Plan will refine and enhance policy aspects and will go into more detail regarding the datasets collected and produced by the MooringSense project.

Our focus is on the sequence and evolution of defects using the fermionic time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, which contains dissipation necessary for equilibration. In contrast to other simulations we introduce small, experimentally unavoidable symmetry breaking, particularly that associated with thermal fluctuations and with the phase imprinting tilt angle, and illustrate their dramatic effects. The former causes vortex rings in confined geometries to move to the trap surface and rapidly decay into more stable vortex lines, as appears consistent with recent experimental claims. The latter aligns the precessing and relatively long-lived vortex filaments, rendering them difficult to distinguish from solitons.

description: Our understanding of the chronology of human evolution relies on the “molecular clock” provided by the steady accumulation of substitutions on an evolutionary lineage. Recent analyses of human pedigrees have called this understanding into question by revealing unexpectedly low germline mutation rates, which imply that substitutions accrue more slowly than previously believed. Translating mutation rates estimated from pedigrees into substitution rates is not as straightforward as it may seem, however. We dissect the steps involved, emphasizing that dating evolutionary events requires not “a mutation rate” but a precise characterization of how mutations accumulate in development in males and females—knowledge that remains elusive.

description: Although theoretically compelling, Bayesian learning with modern machine learning models is computationally challenging since it requires approximating a high dimensional posterior distribution. In this work, we (i) introduce posteriors, an easily extensible PyTorch library hosting general-purpose implementations making Bayesian learning accessible and scalable to large data and parameter regimes; (ii) present a tempered framing of stochastic gradient Markov chain Monte Carlo, as implemented in posteriors, that transitions seamlessly into optimization and unveils a minor modification to deep ensembles to ensure they are asymptotically unbiased for the Bayesian posterior, and (iii) demonstrate and compare the utility of Bayesian approximations through experiments including an investigation into the cold posterior effect and applications with large language models.

description: On 21 March 2013 high-resolution slit spectrographs of comet C/2011 L4 (Panstarrs), at the heliocentric distance r = 0.46 Astronomical Units (AU), were obtained at the Osservatorio Astronomico Campo dei Fiori, Italy. Emission lines of sodium were the strongest in the spectrum as is common in comets, but also potassium lines were detected. These have been rarely observed in comets since the apparition of brightest comet C/1965 S1 (Ikeya-Seki). Lithium was not detected, and stringent upper limits of its abundance compared to other alkali were derived. We obtain abundance ratios Na/K = 54 +/-14 and Na/Li > 8000. As well as in Mercury exosphere (Leblanc & Douressoundiram 2011)}, we show that photoionization at the beginning of the alkali tails may increase the solar ratio Na/K = 15.5 (Asplund et al 2009) by a factor 3, close to that required to match the observed value. In the same tail position the Na/Li ratio increases by a factor 2 only, very far from the factor > 8 required to match an original meteoritic ratio. We apply the same model to similar alkali data (Preston 1967) of comet C/1965 S1 (Ikeya-Seki), obtaining consistent results. An original solar Na/K ratio fits the observed value at the beginning of the alkali tails within the slit size, whereas Li is depleted by a factor > 8.

description: This paper presents a distributed painting algorithm for painting a priori known rectangular region by swarm of autonomous mobile robots. We assume that the region is obstacle free and of rectangular in shape. The basic approach is to divide the region into some cells, and to let each robot to paint one of these cells. Assignment of different cells to the robots is done by ranking the robots according to their relative positions. In this algorithm, the robots follow the basic Wait-Observe-Compute-Move model together with the synchronous timing model. This paper also presents a simulation of the proposed algorithm. The simulation is performed using the Player/Stage Robotic Simulator on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) platform.

description: Deliberately attempting to alter the climate, either by removing greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the atmosphere or by reducing the amount of sunlight that hits the earth’s surface, would take humanity into uncharted territory, both in scientific and political terms. Given the precarious state of the climate and the world’s current rate of GHG emissions, many argue that research into climate engineering must begin now, lest we encounter a climate emergency and lack the tools to address it. Others, however, argue that investing in research on how to (re)engineer the climate puts humanity at a different type of risk – namely, trying to figure out how to govern climate engineering without first answering the question of whether climate engineering should be pursued at all.
“Research Governance” is a chapter in the forthcoming volume from Cambridge University Press, edited by Michael B. Gerrard and Tracy Hester, Climate Engineering and the Law: Regulation and Liability for Solar Radiation Management and Carbon Dioxide Removal. The chapter describes the nascent and inchoate current state of climate engineering research governance, as well as the key issues that any effort to govern climate engineering must address. After surveying research efforts, issues, and institutions – or institutional gaps – the authors conclude as follows: “there is a very real and increasingly urgent need to answer the key questions surrounding governance: what qualifies as climate engineering research subject to governance, at what point do governance requirements kick in, what substantive rules should apply, and who should do the governing.”
Invariant subspaces of algebras of analytic elements associated with periodic flows on W*-algebras

description: We consider an action of the circle group, T on a von Neumann algebra, M. Similarly to the case when the algebra of essentially bounded functions on T is acted upon by translations, we define the generalized Hardy subspace of H,where H is the Hilbert space of a standard representation of M and the subalgebra of analytic elements of M with respect to the action. We prove that the subalgebra of analytic elements is a reflexive algebra of operators if the Arveson spectrum is finite or, if the spectrum is infinite, the spectral subspace corresponding to the least positive element contains an unitary operator. We also prove that the analytic algebra is reflexive if M is an abelian W*-algebra. Examples include the algebra of analytic Toeplitz operators, crossed products, reduced semicrossed products and some reflexive nest subalgebras of von Neumann algebras.

description: We describe the most general homogenous, planar, light-ray-direction-changing sheet that performs one-to-one imaging between object space and image space. This is a non-trivial special case (of the sheet being homogenous) of an earlier result [J. Courtial, Opt. Commun.282, 2480 (2009)]. Such a sheet can be realised, approximately, with generalised confocal lenslet arrays.

description: Cavia porcellus (Linnaeus, 1758). Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1:59. TYPE LOCALITY: Brazil, Pernambuco (questionable). DISTRIBUTION: Domesticated worldwide; possibly feral in N South America. SYNONYMS: anolaimae, cobaya; cutleri Bennett, 1836; leucopyga Cabanis, 1848; longipilis. COMMENTS: Husson (1978:451) reserved the use of porcellus to denote domesticated guinea pigs, which are probably derived from tschudii (Corbet and Hill, 1991:201), but also see Hiickinghaus (1961:96), who regarded porcellus as a synonym of aperea. This species may be a domesticated animal with no established wild population. K. F. Koopman (pers. comm.) believes that N South American populations may be feral domestic guinea pigs; but see comment under aperea.

description: The scaling exponent of a hierarchy of cities used to be regarded as a fractal parameter. The Pareto exponent was treated as the fractal dimension of size distribution of cities, while the Zipf exponent was treated as the reciprocal of the fractal dimension. However, this viewpoint is not exact. In this paper, I will present a new interpretation of the scaling exponent of rank-size distributions. The ideas from fractal measure relation and the principle of dimension consistency are employed to explore the essence of Pareto's and Zipf's scaling exponents. The Pareto exponent proved to be a ratio of the fractal dimension of a network of cities to the average dimension of city population. Accordingly, the Zipf exponent is the reciprocal of this dimension ratio. On a digital map, the Pareto exponent can be defined by the scaling relation between a map scale and the corresponding number of cities based on this scale. The cities of the United States of America in 1900, 1940, 1960, and 1980 and Indian cities in 1981, 1991, and 2001 are utilized to illustrate the geographical spatial meaning of Pareto's exponent. The results suggest that the Pareto exponent of city-size distribution is not a fractal dimension, but a ratio of the urban network dimension to the city population dimension. This conclusion is revealing for scientists to understand Zipf's law and fractal structure of hierarchy of cities.
