Therefore, it is possible to obtain more reliable landslide susceptibility prediction results by introducing SE as a geology and hydrology-related predisposing factor. The Ningdu County of China is taken as a research area. Firstly, 446 landslides are obtained through government disaster survey reports. Secondly, the SE amount in Ningdu County is calculated and nine other conventional predisposing factors are obtained under both 30 m and 60 m grid resolutions to determine the effects of SE on landslide susceptibility prediction. Thirdly, four types of machine-learning predictors with 30 m and 60 m grid resolutions—C5.0 decision tree (C5.0 DT), logistic regression (LR), multilayer perceptron (MLP) and support vector machine (SVM)—are applied to construct the landslide susceptibility prediction models considering the SE factor as SE-C5.0 DT, SE-LR, SE-MLP and SE-SVM models; C5.0 DT, LR, MLP and SVM models with no SE are also used for comparisons.

  • Study of Metallogenetic Fluids and Metallogenic Mechanisms of Xingyuanchong Copper Deposit, Jiangxi Province, China
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Earth and Planetary Science 7 ( 2013 ) 508 – 512 Water Rock Interaction [WRI 14] Study of metallogenetic fluids and metallogenic mechanisms of Xingyuanchong copper deposit, Jiangxi Province, China Ting Liua, Chengdong Liua*, Zhaobin Yana, Yiping Chena, Xuling Wub, Xiujun Fanb aState Key Laboratory Breeding Base of Nuclear Resources and Environment, East China Institute of Technology, Nanchang, JX330013, China bJiangxi Provincial Institute of Geology Survey, Nanchang, JX330030 China Abstract Xingyuanchong copper deposit at Wanzai, Jiangxi, is located in the west section of Yifeng-Jingdezhen deep faults- Huangmao area. By studying the fluid inclusions, and integrating the metallogenic features and sulfur isotope compositions of the ore deposit, the source of metallogenic fluids and metallogenic mechanisms can be studied. The study of fluid inclusions indicates that the deposit was controlled by fluids from at least two different sources: δ34S data indicates sulfur was characterized by submarine exhalation sedimentation and late-stage hydrothermal superimposition. Thus, combining the above geochemical characteristics and the geological setting, it is proposed that the metallogenic fluids of the deposit were extrusive gas-hydrothermal fluids, seawater, and later magmatic hydrothermal fluids. The mineralizing processes can be divided into two stages: first, submarine volcanic sediments or a proto-ore layer formed in the Mesoproterozoic; second, the pre-existing proto-ore was diplogenetically altered by the hydrothermal fluids and dynamic metamorphism mainly derived from the Jinning orogenic period in Late Proterozoic. © 20132012 The The Authors.

  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

  • Studies on the Cold Tolerance of Ratoon 'Chaling' Common Wild Rice
    Xu et al. Biol Res (2020) 53:8 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40659-020-00276-5 Biological Research RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Studies on the cold tolerance of ratoon ‘Chaling’ common wild rice Mengliang Xu1*, Xiangzhen Li1, Xiang Mo1, Siyu Tu1, Yanchun Cui2 and Daichang Yang3 Abstract Background: Rice is the staple food of many people around the world. However, most rice varieties, especially widely grown indica varieties and hybrids, are sensitive to cold stress. In order to provide a basis for the utilization of a common wild rice (CWR, Oryza rufpogon Grif.) named ‘Chaling’ CWR in cold-tolerant rice breeding and deepen the understanding of rice cold tolerance, the cold tolerance of ratoon ‘Chaling’ CWR was studied under the stress of the natural low temperature in winter in Changsha, Hunan province, China, especially under the stress of abnormal natu- ral low temperature in Changsha in 2008, taking other ratoon CWR accessions and ratoon cultivated rice phenotypes as control. Results: The results showed that ratoon ‘Chaling’ CWR can safely overwinter under the natural conditions in Chang- sha (28° 22′ N), Hunan province, China, which is a further and colder northern place than its habitat, even if it sufers a long-term low temperature stress with ice and snow. In 2008, an extremely cold winter appeared in Changsha, i.e., the average daily mean temperature of 22 consecutive days from January 13 to February 3 was 1.0 °C, and the extreme low temperature was 4.7 °C. After subjected to this long-term cold stress, the overwinter survival− rate of ratoon ‘Chaling’ CWR was 100%,− equals to that of ratoon ‘Dongxiang’ CWR which is northernmost distribution in the word among wild rice populations, higher than those of ratoon ‘Fusui’ CWR, ratoon ‘Jiangyong’ CWR, and ratoon ‘Liujiang’ CWR (63.55–83.5%) as well as those of ratoon ‘Hainan’ CWR, ratoon ‘Hepu’ CWR, and all the ratoon cultivated rice phe- notypes including 3 japonica ones, 3 javanica ones, and 5 indica ones (0.0%).
