The foreign exchange risk (between the dollar and RMB) and commitmentfees would be borne by FPEPB. Project Objectives The project seeks to supporteconomic growth in East and Descriptions: China and Fujian province through developmentof a major hydroelectricsite on the Min river. The project would be the Bank's first involvementin the power subsectorin Fujian province,and the fifth Bank loan to the power subsectorin China. It would help to:. (a) develop a major hydro site to serve primarilyas a peaking station in the East China Grid; (b) effectivelyintroduce the most modern technologyavailable for speedy constructionof a large dam and power station; (c) link the East China and Fujian systems and promotemore effective integratedoperation of a major regional grid; and (d) provide training in management of international contractsfor large civil works and in financial management. The project comprisesthe construction of a 101 m high concrete gravity dam, a spil way, a powerhouseand a navigationlock; provisionand installationof seven generatingunits of 200 KW each; constructionof a single-circuit500 kV trans- mission line and installationof equipmentat an associatedsubstation; provision of consulting services for design and constructionmanagement; the resettlementof the reservoirarea population and a program for its economic and social reestablishment; and carrying out of studies and a training program. - ii - Benefits: The projectwill providea dependablecapacity of 1,000MS to meet the peak demandfor the combined East Chinaand Fujianprovincial grids and generate 4,950 CWh annuallyon the average. Indirect benefitsinclude the improvementof navigational conditionson the Min river,and the expansionof the capacityof the Waiyang-Fuzhourailway.

Therefore, it has become imperative to search for Li from other sources. Li in coal is thought to be one of the candidates. In this study, the petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of No. 21 coal from the Hebi No. 6 mine, Anhe Coalfield, China, was reported, with an emphasis on the distribution, modes of occurrence, and origin of Li. The results show that Li is enriched in the No. 21 coal, and its concentration coefficient (CC) value is 6.6 on average in comparison with common world coals.

  • EMD Oil Shale Committee
    EMD Oil Shale Committee EMD Oil Shale Committee Annual Report – 2015 Alan Burnham, Chair April 29, 2015 Vice-Chairs: Dr. Lauren Birgenheier (Vice-Chair – University) University of Utah Mr. Ronald C. Johnson (Vice-Chair – Government) U.S. Geological Survey Dr. Mariela Araujo (Vice-Chair – Industry) Shell International Exploration and Production Highlights Progress on oil shale continued in both the United States and around the world, but with a greater sense of urgency in countries with lesser quantities of conventional energy sources. New production capacity was brought on line in Estonia and China, and plans for production moved forward in Jordan. However, reductions and delays in development are starting to appear, particularly in the United States, due to the low price of crude oil. The current status is in flux, but it is too early to know whether we are seeing a repeat of the 1980s. In the U.S., the Utah Division of Water Quality issued a groundwater permit to Red Leaf Resources, which now has the go-ahead to establish a small-scale commercial production system based on the EcoShale process as a joint venture with Total. A challenge by environmental groups was settled by allowing access to groundwater monitoring data. However, that project is now delayed by a year or more, and the time will be used to accelerate design optimization. TomCo received temporary approval to establish a commercial operation using the EcoShale process 15 miles from the Red Leaf operation. Enefit is making progress getting permits for development of its private lands in Utah and successfully resolved a potential environmental roadblock by working with local officials, who created a conservation plan for a potentially rare plant.

    Fuzhou, formerly Romanized as Foochow, is an old port city, Marco Polo visited it. In the 19th century, it exported more tea than any other Chinese port. Today, it is the capital and one of the largest cities in Fujian province, China. Fuzhou locates in southeast coast of China and is divided from Taiwan Island by Taiwan Strait. Its population was 7.15 million inhabitants, of which urban represents 61.95% while rural population consisting 38.08%. Fuzhou is one of the 14 open costal port cities. The city is also the famous overseas Chinese hometown in China. There are as many as 3 million overseas Chinese originally from Fuzhou, distributing in 102 countries and regions of five continents. Besides Mandarin, Fuzhou region has its own language, called Fuzhou Hua (Fuzhou speech) or Mindong (Eastern Min, where "min" is another name for Fujian). Fuzhou has a humid subtropical climate influenced by the East Asian Monsoon; the summers are long, very hot and humid, and the winters are short, mild and dry. In most years, torrential rain occurs during the monsoon in the second half of May. Fuzhou is also liable to typhoons in late summer and early autumn. The monthly 24-hour average temperature ranges from 10.9 °C (51.6 °F) in January to 28.9 °C (84.0 °F) in July, while the annual mean is 19.84 °C (67.7 °F). With monthly percent possible sunshine ranging from 24 percent in March to 54 percent in July, the city receives 1,607 hours of bright sunshine annually.

Those who sought refuge in Taiwan with the KMT came to be known as the “mainlanders” or “ waishengren .” This paper will provide an overview of the research on waishengren in the past few decades, outlining various approaches and highlighting specific political and social context that gave rise to these approaches. Finally, it will propose a new research agenda based on a perspective of migration studies and historical/sociological analysis. The new approach argues for the importance of both history and agency in the study of waishengren in Taiwan.

During its more than 2,200 year history, many of its people took to the seas for America, among many other countries, to settle and spread awareness about western products to family back home. In the 1900’s it established a navy yard and naval academy. It is defined by its proximity and trade with Taiwan – and waterway connecting the two. Fuzhou owes its cross-straits and export trade to its abundant source of aquaculture and natural resources. The city plans to sail on with ambitious plans to develop infrastructure and port facilities. These factors spell opportunity for U.S. agricultural products.

  • The Neolithic Ofsouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal
    The Neolithic ofSouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal ZHANG CHI AND HSIAO-CHUN HUNG INTRODUCTION SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE YELLOW RIVER and Mainland Southeast Asia, southern China1 lies centrally within eastern Asia. This geographical area can be divided into three geomorphological terrains: the middle and lower Yangtze allu­ vial plain, the Lingnan (southern Nanling Mountains)-Fujian region,2 and the Yungui Plateau3 (Fig. 1). During the past 30 years, abundant archaeological dis­ coveries have stimulated a rethinking of the role ofsouthern China in the prehis­ tory of China and Southeast Asia. This article aims to outline briefly the Neolithic cultural developments in the middle and lower Yangtze alluvial plain, to discuss cultural influences over adjacent regions and, most importantly, to examine the issue of southward population dispersal during this time period. First, we give an overview of some significant prehistoric discoveries in south­ ern China. With the discovery of Hemudu in the mid-1970s as the divide, the history of archaeology in this region can be divided into two phases. The first phase (c. 1920s-1970s) involved extensive discovery, when archaeologists un­ earthed Pleistocene human remains at Yuanmou, Ziyang, Liujiang, Maba, and Changyang, and Palaeolithic industries in many caves. The major Neolithic cul­ tures, including Daxi, Qujialing, Shijiahe, Majiabang, Songze, Liangzhu, and Beiyinyangying in the middle and lower Yangtze, and several shell midden sites in Lingnan, were also discovered in this phase. During the systematic research phase (1970s to the present), ongoing major ex­ cavation at many sites contributed significantly to our understanding of prehis­ toric southern China. Additional early human remains at Wushan, Jianshi, Yun­ xian, Nanjing, and Hexian were recovered together with Palaeolithic assemblages from Yuanmou, the Baise basin, Jianshi Longgu cave, Hanzhong, the Li and Yuan valleys, Dadong and Jigongshan.
