The proposed project applies for Gold Standard VER. The purpose of the proposed project is to utilize landfill gas (LFG) for electricity generation. It is a combination project including LFG collection, LFG processing system and electricity generation. LFG collected will be used for electricity generation with internal combustion engines and generators. There are 4 units in the project. Each unit has an installation capacity of 1.25 MW. Power generation by proposed project will be supplied to East China Power Grid. These 4 units are separated into two phases. For each phase, there is a respective processing system, whose description is in the following context. Both of phases share a landfill gas collection system, which could guarantee the proper operation of these four units. The first stage, which is not the same as the two phases of the proposed project, of landfill site (15m-80m above sea level) will be closed in 2008, with 15 years operation period. The second stage of landfill gas will be set up vertically above the first phase, with 15 years operation period as well.

This is the first time for Suzhou to rank in the top 10 convention cities in China. In order to create a new fusion of conventions and exhibitions in Suzhou, the Suzhou Culture, Broadcast, Films and Tourism Bureau attaches great importance to the training of a pool of conference management talents. From 2016 to 2018, the Suzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau co-operated with the International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO) in hosting IAPCO EDGE Bespoke Seminars covering 3 different levels of professional training courses. These were attended by junior and senior managerial staff from travel agencies, events companies, exhibition organisers and convention & exhibition centers, playing a very significant role in the transformation of these companies, centres and associations as they learn the meeting management skills of professional conference organisers (PCOs). Together they will shape Suzhou, a garden city, into an international convention destination. With the support of the Suzhou Culture, Broadcast, Films and Tourism Bureau, IAPCO will once again be holding a 2-1/2-day international conference management training seminar in July 2019..

  • Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao , Zhang Qiongfang
    International Forum on Management, Education and Information Technology Application (IFMEITA 2016) Analysis of Character Convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns Lei Yunyao1, a, Zhang Qiongfang 1,b 1 Wuchang Shouyi University, Wuhan 430064 China [email protected], b [email protected] Key Words:Jiangnan Ancient Towns; Character convergence; Analysis Abstract:This article illustrates the representation of character convergence of Jiangnan Ancient Towns. It analyzes the formation mechanism of character convergence to build the whole image of these ancient towns with Zhouzhuang as a prototype. Based on Tourism Geography Theory and Regional Linkage Theory, it puts forward the fact that the character convergence can be beneficial to building a whole tourism image and to enhancing people’s awareness of ancient heritage. But some problems caused by the convergence will also be presented, such as the identical tourism development model, the backward infrastructure and the destruction of original ecology. Introduction With Taihu Lake as the center, the region of Jiangnan, the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is scattered all over by many historic ancient towns. These towns have a long history and deep cultural deposit. They are densely occupied and economically developed. They form a national transport network combined with inland waterway. These towns have witnessed a long-term economic prosperity in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and are now generally called “Jiangnan Ancient Towns”. Since 1980s, under the wave of reform, opening up and modernization construction, experience-based tourism and leisure tourism of these towns have achieved great development. Under the influence of “China's First Water Town” Zhouzhuang, some other similar towns like Tongli, Luzhi, Xitang, Nanxun, Wuzhen all choose to follow suit.

  • Evaluation of the Value of Preoperative CYFRA21-1 in the Diagnosis And
    Jin et al. Journal of Ovarian Research (2019) 12:114 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13048-019-0587-0 RESEARCH Open Access Evaluation of the value of preoperative CYFRA21-1 in the diagnosis and prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer in conjunction with CA125 Chunjing Jin1† , Minfeng Yang2†, Xueqiao Han3, Haidan Chu1, Yan Zhang1, Meihong Lu1, Zhonghui Wang1, Xinxin Xu1, Wenwen Liu1, Feng Wang1* and Shaoqing Ju1* Abstract Growing evidence indicates that the tumor biomarker cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) is significant for a variety of cancers. However, its role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has rarely been reported. In this study, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to estimate the diagnostic efficiency of CYFRA21-1. The correlation between the CYFRA21-1 level and prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariable and multivariable analyses. The relationship between serum CYFRA21-1 levels and different clinicopathological variables was also analyzed. At the same time, the standard serum marker cancer antigen 125 (CA125) was measured. The results demonstrated that CYFRA21-1 expression was significantly increased in EOC compared with expression in benign ovarian diseases and healthy controls, which was similar to CA125 (P < 0.001). CYFRA21-1 expression was positively correlated with CA125 (r = 0.201; P = 0.0032). CYFRA21-1 expression was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and ascites (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the median survival time of EOC patients with high CYFRA21-1 expression was 42 months, compared with 54 months in the low CYFRA21-1 expression patients by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P < 0.05), while the high and low CA125 expression groups had no difference in median survival time.

  • According to Framework Directive 96/62/EC, Preliminary Assessment As a Tool for Air Quality Monitoring Network Design in a Chinese City
    According to Framework Directive 96/62/EC, preliminary assessment as a tool for Air Quality Monitoring Network Design in a Chinese city I. Allegrini1, C. Paternò1, M. Biscotto1, W. Hong2, F. Liu2, Z. Yin2 & F. Costabile1 1Institute for Atmospheric Pollution, Italian National Research Council, Rome, Italy 2Environmental Monitoring Centre, Suzhou, P.R. China Abstract In the framework of the Sino-Italian Program in which the Italian Ministry of Environment and Territory is participating, an Air Quality Monitoring System in the City of Suzhou (China) was implemented by the Institute for Atmospheric Pollution of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IIA). As stated in Framework Directive 96/62/EC, preliminary assessment of air quality is a very important step in the identification of sites for fixed monitoring stations. To that end, 100 saturation stations, equipped with passive samplers for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia and BTX (benzene, toluene and xylene), were set up. The concentration values of these pollutants, coming from three campaigns carried out in Suzhou, were represented and explored by using the Arcview 8.2 software with Geostatistical Analyst and Spatial Analyst extensions. The interpolation was carried out using the two most important interpolation models (Inverse Distance Weighting and Ordinary Kriging). With reference to each campaign, pollution maps related to each interpolation model and to each pollutant were produced. Finally, a map with the definitive siting of the fixed monitoring stations was produced. Keywords: air quality monitoring system, preliminary assessment, pollutant distribution maps, passive samplers. Air Pollution XII, C. A. Brebbia (Editor) © 2004 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISBN 1-85312-722-1 416 Air Pollution XII 1 Introduction Air Quality is one of the areas in which Europe has been most active in recent years.

    Jiaanbieyuan new courtyard-garden housing in Suzhou Zhang Journal of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism 2019 Volume 1 Issue 1: 1-19 Research Article Jiaanbieyuan New Courtyard-Garden Housing in Suzhou: Residents’ Experiences of the Redevelopment Donia Zhang Neoland School of Chinese Culture, Canada Corresponding author: Donia Zhang, 11211 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. L4S 0E9 Email: [email protected] Citation: Zhang D, 2019, Jiaanbieyuan New Courtyard-Garden Housing in Suzhou: Residents’ Experiences of the Redevelopment. Journal of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, 1(1): 526. http://dx.doi.org/10.26689/jcau.v1i1.526 ABSTRACT Cultural vitality as the fourth pillar of sustainable development has been widely acknowledged, and vernacular architecture as a major part of a nation’s material culture has entered the cultural sustainability dialogue. This recognition demands that new housing design and development should honor a local or regional identity. This in-depth case study assesses the architectural, environmental, spatial, constructional, social, cultural, and behavioral aspects of the Jiaanbieyuan (“Excellent Peace Courtyard-Garden Housing Estate”) built in Suzhou, China, in 1998. The 500-unit Jiaanbieyuan is located close to two UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites, the Canglang (“Surging Waves”) Pavilion and the Master-of- Nets Garden. It has attempted to recreate Suzhou’s traditional architecture and landscape architecture. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through numerous research methods, including onsite surveys and interviews. The findings show the new housing forms do not promote social relations as effectively as the traditional housing of the past. Moreover, the communal Central Garden has functioned to some extent as a social and cultural activity space.
