Generations of scientists attended its General Assemblies (GA) and its associations’ Scientific Assemblies (SA), symposia, and workshops, and benefited from both its science and culture. I’m fortunate enough to have attended every IUGG GA and IAMAS SA since 1999. My expertise is climate dynamics and climate change. I have been speakers, invited speakers, chairs, and conveners over the past 15 years. I’m currently Vice-Chair of the IUGG Union Commission on Climatic and Environmental Change (CCEC, 2011-present), Executive Secretary of IAMAS International Commission on Climate (ICCL, 2011-present), a member of the IUGG Honors and Recognition Committee (2010-present), and Secretary General of Chinese National Committee for IUGG (2007-present). I already organized 8 symposia or workshops at IUGG GA or IAMAS SA, namely IAMAS 2005 Scientific Assembly (2-11 August, 2005, Beijing), ICDM/IAMAS Workshop 2012 on Dynamics and Predictability of High-impact Weather and Climate Events (6-9 August, 2012, Kunming), ICCL/IAMAS 2013 Expert Assessment Workshop on Decadal Climate Variability and Cross-Scale Interactions (16-17 April, 2013, Beijing), 1st Workshop of the IUGG Commission on Climatic and Environmental Change (11-12 April, 2014, Beijing) and 1st Congress of China Geodesy and Geophysics (24-26, October, 2014, Beijing). Besides, with assistance of CNC-IUGG secretariat, I helped IUGG to make IUGG souvenirs in 2011. Moreover, I led our CNC-IUGG to translate IUGG e-journal into Chinese so that more Chinese scientists and policymakers are aware of IUGG activities in time. IUGG not only prepares me for a career scientist, but also gives me opportunities to serve the international science community. I think this is the charm of IUGG: great science and vigorous international platform for exchanges.

However, it is not 29 clear how these waters are being supplied and replenished. In particular, how 30 plausible hydrological cycles can be realized between tropical oceans and the TP. In 31 order to explore the mechanism sustaining the atmospheric “water tower” over the 32 TP， the relationship of a “heat source column” over the plateau and moist flows in 33 the Asian summer monsoon circulation is investigated, here we show that the 34 plateau’s thermal structure leads to dynamic processes with an integration of two 35 couples of lower convergences and upper divergences, respectively, over the 36 plateau’s southern slopes and main platform, which relay moist air in two ladders 37 up to the plateau.

However, the students without adequate Chinese language proficiency can select some Business courses taught in English. LZU also offers a Chinese Learning Program for those interested in Chinese language and culture. 2. COURSE DESCRIPRTION ( 1 ) Chinese Learning Program Curriculum: http://sice.lzu.edu.cn/en/ http://faoffice.lzu.edu.cn/Web/studentexchange/eng/LZU_Student_Exchange_Program.pdf The courses range from beginning, elementary, intermediate to advanced level. Generally speaking, there is no Chinese language requirement for this program. But students should have the preliminary ability to communicate in English or Russian. ( 2 ) IMBA Program offered by the School of Management Curriculum: http://ms.lzu.edu.cn:86/content.aspx?id=631278505987 More than 90% teachers for this program are professors invited from universities in Europe and North America. It is a two years master level program. But both the undergraduate and postgraduate students from partner universities can select the courses in any school years. They can choose to study for only one year or half a year. Language requirements: all courses of the program are taught in English. Applicants for this program should have a good mastery of English. In the past years, a number of undergraduate students from University of Turin, IUC (International University College of Turin) and TELECOM Business School of France had studied for one semester's exchange in IMBA program. They think it is a very rewarding experience. Important: the timetables of Chinese Learning Program and IMBA Program may conflict with each other.

This article explores the history of radiobiology in twentieth-century China by examining the overlapping of radium research and biophysics, from roughly the 1920s Nationalist period to the 1960s Communist period; from the foreign purchase of radium by the Rockefeller Foundation’s China Medical Board during the Republican era, to the institutional establishment of radiobiology as a subset of biophysics in the People’s Republic. Western historiography of radiobiology highlights the connection between the military development of nuclear weapons and the civilian use of radiation in biology, as well as the international export of radioisotopes and nuclear reactors.

Experimental study of the duct-effects of the tidal current turbines in multi-row-staggered layout Yaling Chen1, Binliang Lin2, and Jinxi Guo2 1College of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China ([email protected]) 2State Key Laboratory of Hydro-science and Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China Tidal turbine array was optimized to increase the power production in order to improve the commercial competitivity of tidal current energy with other forms of energy generation. Due to duct-effects, the power performance of turbines in the staggered layout was better than that of the aligned layout. However, shear layer with enhanced turbulence occurred between the duct zone and isolated wake zone downstream, which had influence on the performance stability and increased the fatigue failure of tidal turbines. The study conducted a series of laboratory experiments to investigate the duct-effects of tidal turbines located in multi-row array with staggered layout. The turbine rotor was represented by porous disc. The flow thrust and time- varying velocity were measured using micro strain gauge and acoustic doppler velometer, respectively. Results showed that the flow was accelerated between turbines with the increment around 20% behind the first row, while the duct-effects were weakened as distance increased downstream. The shear-induced turbulence was enlarged by the duct-effect when it diffused mainly towards individual wake zone at the initial stage. As the turbulence filled the whole individual wake zones, it diffused rapidly to lateral sides and jointed together, and the turbulence intensity across the array wake was significantly higher than that of the free flow.

    Beitriige zur Geschichte der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft - I Franz Steiner Verlag Sonderdrucl< aus: Physics and Politics Research and Research Support in TWentieth Century Germany in International Perspective Edited by Helmuth Trischler and Mark Walker j @ Franz Steiner vertag 2o1o t :'i PHYSICS IN CHINA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE coLD \rAR. 1949-1976 Zuo-yue Wang In April 1952, just days after he was appointed the associate director of the In- stitute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, the Chinese nuclear physicist Wang Ganchang was called into the headquarters of the academy. A secret mission awaited him at the battle front of the Korean \Var: The Chinese forces suspected the US had used "atomic sheils" and wanted W'ang to investigate the matter. \fang, a physicist who had gone to Berlin University to study with Hans Geiger but ended up receiving his Ph. D. with Lise Meitner at the Kaiser \Tilhelm Institute in 1933, was well-qualified for the job. With a primi- tive but effective Geiger counter, W'ang checked fragments of the suspect shells and found that there was no increase in radioactivity. He concluded that they were not mini atomic bombs, but perhaps a new type of conventional weapon.l A relatively minor incident in the Korean W'ar, it nevertheless marked a milestone toward the be ginning of an era when the Cold War and nuclear weapons increas- ingly and decisively shaped the context within which physics was practiced in the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong. A decade later, \fang emerged as a major architect of the Chinese nuclear weapons project and his whole institute and most of the leading Chinese physicists devoted themselves to it.
