Spatiotemporal dynamics of land use/land cover(LULC)changes and its impact on land surface temperature:A case study in New Town Kolkata,eastern India

Rapid urbanization creates complexity,results in dynamic changes in land and environment,and influences the land surface temperature(LST)in fast-developing cities.In this study,we examined the impact of land use/land cover(LULC)changes on LST and determined the intensity of urban heat island(UHI)in New Town Kolkata(a smart city),eastern India,from 1991 to 2021 at 10-a intervals using various series of Landsat multi-spectral and thermal bands.This study used the maximum likelihood algorithm for image classification and other methods like the correlation analysis and hotspot analysis(Getis-Ord Gi*method)to examine the impact of LULC changes on urban thermal environment.This study noticed that the area percentage of built-up land increased rapidly from 21.91%to 45.63%during 1991-2021,with a maximum positive change in built-up land and a maximum negative change in sparse vegetation.The mean temperature significantly increased during the study period(1991-2021),from 16.31°C to 22.48°C in winter,29.18°C to 34.61°C in summer,and 19.18°C to 27.11°C in autumn.The result showed that impervious surfaces contribute to higher LST,whereas vegetation helps decrease it.Poor ecological status has been found in built-up land,and excellent ecological status has been found in vegetation and water body.The hot spot and cold spot areas shifted their locations every decade due to random LULC changes.Even after New Town Kolkata became a smart city,high LST has been observed.Overall,this study indicated that urbanization and changes in LULC patterns can influence the urban thermal environment,and appropriate planning is needed to reduce LST.This study can help policy-makers create sustainable smart cities.

Information visualization analysis on Advances in Psychological Science:1983-2014

Objective： To describe the revolution and research status of Advances in Psychological Science. Methods： A total of 3060 articles published in Advances in Psychological Science from 1983 to 2014 were analyzed with the information visualization method using Citespace software from the aspects of pub- lications, cited frequency and downloads, funding, organizations, authors and keywords. Results： The results showed that the amount of literature published annually had an upward tendency, and 49.4% of the papers were supported by national or provincial projects. Institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences （CAS） and the normal universities were rated in the forefront of the sci- entific research output. Xiting Huang, Hong Li and Yuejia Luo were at the top of the list of prolific authors. Conclusions： A new pattern of cooperative development of the theory and application in the field of psychological research is forming.

Knowledge Map and Topics Analysis on the Research of Lycoris Research based on the Perspective of Literature Metrology

[Objective]In order to reflect the relationship between literatures quickly and efficiently and reveal the evolutionary path and hotspot,and predict the future trend of Lycoris researches.[Methods]In 19902019,CiteSpace software was used for visual graphic analysis authors,institutes and key words related to Lycoris research based on data sources of WOS and CNKI.[Results](1)Domestic researchers have formed a core group of authors in East China,but the cooperation between the different teams is relatively dispersed.(2)From the perspective of international cooperation level,the cocontribution in China is the largest.Among them,the Chinese Academy of Sciences published has the largest number of papers,and higher research level.(3)The research on Lycoris has experienced three stages:slow accumulation period,rapid growth period and stable growth period.And its research direction develops along the route of“interspecific relationship within genuspropagation and cultivationpharmacology and pharmacodynamicscytology and molecular biologycross breeding”.[Conclusion]The research of Lycoris mainly distributed in Asian countries such as China and Japan.On the whole,its research direction is developing from macro to micro.

Research trends and hotspot topics of exosomes based on citespace bibliometric analysis

Exosomes are membrane vesicles that exist in pathological or normal cells and are considered to be specifically secreted,contain complex RNAs and proteins,participate in intercellular communication functions,and have functions in organismal immune response,antigen presentation,cell migration,cell differentiation,and tumor invasion.In recent years,with the explosion of the development of minimally invasive diagnostics,the research of exosomes has been rapidly developed,and the number of articles published in this field has increased dramatically,and many articles summarize the published papers in a review-type analysis.In this paper,we use bibliometric analysis combined with theoretical analysis and pathfinding network scaling to visualize data and objectively count the development process,current research,and development trend of the corresponding field by analyzing the literature of the specified field.This paper presents the data visualization by analyzing the literature of the specified field to objectively count the development process,current research and development trend of the corresponding field.This paper presents a retrospective analysis and review of the articles on exosomes in the last 20 years(2001–2021)based on the bibliometric analysis method of CiteSpace software,while presenting the problems of current research and discussing the challenges encountered in the future,hoping to provide new ideas for the development of research in this field.

A scientometric review of biochar preparation research from 2006 to 2019

Biochar is the carbon-rich product obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass under oxygen-limited condi-tions.Preparation methods contribute to biochar properties,which are widely concerned in the agronomic and environmental benefits of agro-ecosystems.This research aims to use bibliometrics methods to comprehensively and objectively analyze the research trends in the global biochar production field from 2006 to 2019 based on the Web of Science Core Collection database.The results showed that 1434 papers related to biochar preparation were published,which gradually increased each year.The research topics were diversified,which were mainly divided into“Environmental Sciences and Ecology,”“Engineering”and“Agriculture”.Moreover,Bioresource Technology was the most published journal contained biochar preparation.Authors from China had the most publications,followed by the US,Australia and the UK.Meanwhile,Yong Sik Ok from Korea University contributed most of the publications and had the highest H-index.Keywords analysis indicated that biochar preparation by pyrolysis was a current hotspot,of which microwave and hydrothermal were a future research trend.Besides,gasification would be used to develop new biomass energy.Biochar has the characteristics of high pH,high specific surface area,high carbon content,and rich functional groups.It is mainly used in soil improvement,water pollutant adsorption,carbon sequestration and emission reduction,and energy storage materials,etc.Furthermore,raw materials,pyrolysis temperature and pyrolysis time will also affect its characteristics and applications.It is expected that this study may provide insight into the future research interests regarding biochar preparation.
