catena-Poly[cobalt(II)-bis­(μ-2-amino­ethane­sulfonato)-κ3 N,O:O′;κ3 O:N,O′]

The hydro­thermally prepared title compound, [Co(C2H6NO3S)2]n, is isotypic with its NiII analogue. The CoII cation is in a distorted octa­hedral environment, coordinated by four sulfonate O atoms and two N atoms from the taurine ligands. In comparison with the NiII analogue, the Co—N and Co—O bonds are longer than the Ni—N and Ni—O bonds, whereas all other bond lengths and angles as well as the hydrogen-bonding motifs are very similar in the two structures. The sulfonate groups doubly bridge symmetry-related CoII atoms, forming polymeric chains along the a axis. N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding interactions consolidate the crystal packing

Predicting land use changes in northern China using logistic regression, cellular automata, and a Markov model

Abstract(#br)Land use changes are complex processes affected by both natural and human-induced driving factors. This research is focused on simulating land use changes in southern Shenyang in northern China using an integration of logistic regression, cellular automata, and a Markov model and the use of fine resolution land use data to assess potential environmental impacts and provide a scientific basis for environmental management. A set of environmental and socio-economic driving factors was used to generate transition potential maps for land use change simulations in 2010 and 2020 using logistic regression. An average relative operating characteristic value of 0.824 was obtained, indicating the validity of the logistic regression model. The logistic–cellular automata (CA)–Markov model..
