This study aims to conduct such a hazard risk mapping using Random Forest Classification (RFC) approach taking Ruijin County in Jiangxi, China as an example. Multi-source data namely terrain (DEM, slope and aspect), precipitation, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) representing vegetation condition and abundance, strata and their lithology, distance to roads, distance to rivers, distance to faults, thickness of weathering crust, soil type and texture, etc., were employed for this study. The non-numeric data such as geological strata, soil units, faults, were spatialized and assigned values in terms of their susceptibility to landslide. Similarly, linear features such as roads, rivers and faults were buffered with distances of 0-30, 30-60, 60-90 and 90-120 m and each buffer zone was assigned a susceptibility value of landslide, e.g., zones 0-30, 30-60, 60-90 and 90-120 of road buffers were assigned respectively 10, 7, 4, and 1, meaning that the closer to the road, the higher risk of landslide. In total, 16 hazard factor layers were derived and converted into raster. 156 landslide hazards that have truly taken places (points) and been verified in field were used to create a training set (TS, 70% of total landslides) and a validation set (VS, 30%) by buffering-based rasterization procedure. A number of polygons were defined in places where landslide is unlikely to occur, e.g., water bodies, zero-slope plain, and urban areas. These polygons were added to the TS as non-risk area. Then, RFC was conducted to model the probability of landslide risk using these 16 factor layers as predictors and TS for training. The obtained RF model was applied back to the 16 factor layers to predict the probability of landslide risk at each pixel in the whole county. The prediction map was checked against the VS and found that the Overall Accuracy and Kappa Coefficient are respectively 92.18% and 0.8432, and the landslide-prone areas are mainly distributed on two sides of the roads. The results reveal that extremely high-risk zones with a probability of more than 0.9 take up 76.70 km2 in the county, and the distance to roads is the most important factor followed by precipitation among all factors causing landslides as road construction and housing development cut off slopes leading to instability of the weathered crust; and heavy rainfalls trigger the instability. Our study shows that the RFC prediction has high accuracy and in good consistency with field observation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Red Army Health Services in Jiangxi and on the Long March, 1927–1936
    CHAPTER THREE RED ARMY HEALTH SERVICES IN JIANGXI AND ON THE LONG MARCH, 1927–1936 The way to consolidate these bases is, first, to construct adequate defenses, second, to store sufficient grain and, third, to set up comparatively good Red Army hospitals. The Party in the border area must strive to perform these three tasks effectively. —Mao Zedong, October 19281 This chapter examines the Red Army healthcare practices that took shape in Jiangxi in the largest of the early Chinese Communist base areas, and during the Long March. Although the Jiangxi base area was tiny compared with the areas for which the Nationalist government’s National Health Administration was responsible, its problems were comparable to those of the much larger NHA areas. They included epidemic diseases, malnutri- tion, lack of hygiene and sanitation, reliance on gods for relief from dis- ease, lack of biomedically trained individuals, and policies often adverse to the welfare of soldiers and ordinary people. There were some stark differences however. Red Army command- ers and healthcare leaders were forced by their small numbers and precarious circumstances to learn the importance of preserving lives. Five campaigns with Nationalist armies put a premium on treating and returning soldiers to the front, which worked until the fifth Nationalist encirclement campaign overwhelmed the Communists. The Red Army mobilized Chinese medicine physicians and pharmacists and enlisted individuals trained in Christian medical schools and mission hospitals, and others who had received medical training in Moscow, to develop highly mobile medical and preventive health delivery systems. It also managed to organize workshops to supply medical and herbal products, and created training programs for physicians and health care aides.

Following are the special areas: (1) Enzyme technology as applied to food processing and reclamation of food and agriculture wastes. (2) Enzymatic production of value-added products (e.g., functional proteins, peptides, oligosaccharides, etc.). (3) Aqueous extraction of oil and protein from seeds assisted with enzymes. (4) Application of pulsed electrical fields and high hydrostatic pressure in food processing and their effect on food quality. Several novel technologies have been industrialized and commercialized. (1) Enzymatic production of xylooligosaccharides The invented enzymatic production of xylooligosaccharide technology won the China Patent Excellence Award and the Jiangsu Provincial Patent Gold Award. The technology has achieved multiple transfers, and the purity of xylooligosaccharide product can reach 99%. (2) Enzymatic production of soybean and peanut peptides The production line of peanut peptide by enzymatic hydrolysis has been built in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, and the production is already on the market. (3) Aqueous extraction of oil from seeds In 2014, the world's first ethanol-assisted water method to produce camellia seed oil was built in Ruijin, Jiangxi Province.
