TEC-1060, TEC-1063, TEC-1068, TEC-1088 and TEC-1130, the Chinese government has implemented regulations limiting the sulphur content of fuel oils used onboard ships to 0.5% m/m. Currently, as shown in the following table, ships only berthing at core port areas within the Pearl River Delta or the Bohai Rim, or at any ports within the Yangtze River Delta are required to use fuel oils whose sulphur content does not exceed 0.5% m/m; however, starting on 1 January 2018, all ships berthing at any ports within the Pearl River Delta, the Bohai Rim or the Yangtze River Delta will be required to use fuel oils whose sulphur content does not exceed 0.5% m/m. Therefore, at the time of bunkering, please make sure that the sulphur content of the fuel oil used onboard ship on and after that date satisfies the new limit value (0.5% m/m). Applicable ports subject to the regulations on the sulphur content of fuel oil From 1 September 2017 until From 1 January 2018 31 December 2017 The Pearl River Delta Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai emission control area The Bohai Rim emission Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Tangshan Any ports control area and Huanghua The Yangtze River Delta Any ports emission control area For more information, please refer to Attachment 1 which is summary of the Chinese regulations as previously informed in prior ClassNK Technical Information.

  • Tone Variations in Regionally Accented Mandarin
    INTERSPEECH 2020 October 25–29, 2020, Shanghai, China Tone variations in regionally accented Mandarin Yanping Li, Catherine T. Best, Michael D. Tyler, Denis Burnham The MARCS Institute, Western Sydney University, Australia {yanping.li,c.best,m.tyler,d.burnham}@westernsydney.edu.au Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM) [8-9]. Both models Abstract claim that second language (L2) learners are unable to discern The present study investigated tone variations in regionally certain phonetic differences between segments in their first accented Mandarin (i.e., Standard Mandarin [SM] spoken by language (L1) and L2 because of their “equivalence dialectal Chinese speakers) as influenced by the varying tone classification” (SLM) or “perceptual assimilation” (PAM) of systems of their native dialects. 12 female speakers, four each L2 phones to their native phonemes, resulting in inaccurate L2 from Guangzhou, Shanghai and Yantai, were recruited to pronunciation. From SLM and PAM viewpoints, we would produce monosyllabic words in SM that included minimal expect Shanghai speakers’ production of Mandarin tones to contrasts among the four Mandarin lexical tones. Since SM differ from those by native Beijing Mandarin speakers given developed from the Beijing dialect, their pronunciations were that SM has four lexical tones (i.e., T1 has high-level pitch, T2 compared to the same Mandarin words produced by four high-rising pitch, T3 low-dipping pitch, and T4 high-falling Beijing female speakers. Regional Mandarin speakers pitch [10]), but the five-tone inventory of the Shanghai dialect successfully produced the four Mandarin lexical tones, but their lacks a dipping tone. Since Tone 3 in SM has a low falling- productions varied from SM.

  • Land-Use Efficiency in Shandong (China)
    sustainability Article Land-Use Efficiency in Shandong (China): Empirical Analysis Based on a Super-SBM Model Yayuan Pang and Xinjun Wang * Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 November 2020; Accepted: 14 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: A reasonable evaluation of land-use efficiency is an important issue in land use and development. By using a super-SBM model, the construction and cultivated land-use efficiency of 17 cities in Shandong from 2006 to 2018 were estimated and the spatial-temporal variation was analyzed. The results showed that: (1) The land use efficiency levels were quite different, and low-efficiency cities impacted the overall development process. (2) The efficiency values of construction land generally fluctuated and rose, meaning that room remains for future efficiency improvements. Cultivated land generally showed a high utilization efficiency, but it fluctuated and decreased. (3) The construction land-use efficiency was highest in the midland region, especially in Laiwu city, followed by the eastern region and Qingdao city, and the western region. The spatial variation in cultivated land presented a trend of “high in the middle, low in the periphery,” centered on Jinan and Yantai city. (4) Pure technical efficiency was the main restriction driving inefficient utilization in the western region, while scale efficiency played that role in the east. Based on the findings, policy suggestions were proposed to improve the land-use efficiency in Shandong and promote urban sustainable development. Keywords: land use; efficiency level; super-SBM model; Shandong Province; construction land; cultivated land 1.
