Engaging with different literatures in economic geography, postcolonial urbanism, and planetary urbanization, this article seeks to develop a theoretical understanding of remote urban formations taking shape India’s countryside. The analysis draws on extensive primary data collected at two study sites Bihar West Bengal, which rendered an uncommonly rich set for such areas. We observe emergent t...

Despite numerous studies about core-periphery in monetary unions, few focus on their dynamics. This paper (i) presents new theory-based, continuous and dynamic measures of the probability a country being classified as core or periphery; (ii) estimates determinants changes this over time across countries; (iii) uses Phillips-Sul convergence panel framework to investigate behaviour periphery grou...

The concept of nestedness, in particular for ecological and economical networks, has been introduced as a structural characteristic of real interacting systems. We suggest that the nestedness is in fact another way to express a mesoscale network property called the core-periphery structure. With real ecological mutualistic networks and synthetic model networks, we reveal the strong correlation ...

Dielectric metasurfaces have significant potential for delivering miniaturized optical systems with versatile functionalities, leading to applications in various fields such as orbital angular momentum generation, imaging, and holography. Among the different materials, crystalline silicon has advantage of technological maturity high refractive index, which increases design flexibility processin...

Many genes are recruited to the nuclear periphery upon transcriptional activation. The mechanism and functional significance of this recruitment is unclear. We find that recruitment of the yeast INO1 and GAL1 genes to the nuclear periphery is rapid and independent of transcription. Surprisingly, these genes remain at the periphery for generations after they are repressed. Localization at the nu...

The banking system could be mapped by the network model to generate structural properties of evolution dynamics. In this study, we empirically investigate China bank from 2008 2019 where banks and lending relationships are set as nodes links. By introducing middle layer into core–periphery (CP) model, present core–middle–periphery (CMP) belonging core fully connected ones connect periphery laye...
