It has created “Ningguo Miracle” since 1990s. Its general economic capacity has been ranked #1 (the first) among all the counties or cities in Anhui Province since 2000. In order to analyze the influencing factors of competitive advantages of Ningguo City and explain “Ningguo Miracle”, this article have evaluated, analyzed and classified the general economic competitiveness of 61 counties (cities) in Anhui Province in 2004, by 14 indexes of evaluation index system. The result showed that compared with other counties (cities) in Anhui Province, Ningguo City has more advantages in competition. The competitive advantage of Ningguo City is due to the productivities, the effect of the second industry and industry, and the investment of fixed assets. Then the influencing factors of Ningguo’s competitiveness in terms of productivity were analyzed with authoritative data since 1990 and a log linear regression model was established by stepwise regression method. The results demonstrated that the key influencing factor of Ningguo City’s competitive advantage was the change of industry structure, especially the change of manufacture structure.

  • Delineating Multiple Salinization Processes in a Coastal Plain
    1 Delineating multiple salinization processes in a coastal plain aquifer, northern China: 2 hydrochemical and isotopic evidence 3 4 Han Dongmeia,b, Matthew Currellc 5 a Key Laboratory of Water Cycle & Related Land Surface Processes, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources 6 Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100101, China 7 b College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China 8 c School of Engineering, RMIT University, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia. 9 10 Abstract 11 Groundwater is an important water resource for agricultural irrigation, urban and industrial utilization in the 12 coastal regions of northern China. In the past five decades, coastal groundwater salinization in the 13 Yang-Dai River plain has become increasingly serious under the influence of anthropogenic activities and 14 climatic change. It is pivotal for the scientific management of coastal water resources to accurately 15 understand groundwater salinization processes and their causative factors. Hydrochemical (major ion and 16 trace element) and stable isotopic (δ18O and δ2H) analysis of different water bodies (surface water, 17 groundwater, geothermal water, and seawater) were conducted to improve understanding of groundwater 18 salinization processes in the plain’s Quaternary aquifer. Saltwater intrusion due to intensive groundwater 19 pumping is a major process, either by vertical infiltration along riverbeds which convey saline surface 20 water inland, and/or direct subsurface lateral inflow. Trends in salinity with depth indicate that the former 21 may be more important than previously assumed. The proportion of seawater in groundwater is estimated 22 to have reached up to 13% in shallow groundwater of a local well field.

The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries.

  • Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China
    JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY 15, 237±288 (1996) ARTICLE NO. 0010 Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China LI LIU School of Archaeology, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Received June 12, 1995; revision received May 17, 1996; accepted May 26, 1996 In the third millennium B.C., the Longshan culture in the Central Plains of northern China was the crucial matrix in which the ®rst states evolved from the basis of earlier Neolithic societies. By adopting the theoretical concept of the chiefdom and by employing the methods of settlement archaeology, especially regional settlement hierarchy and rank-size analysis, this paper introduces a new approach to research on the Longshan culture and to inquiring about the development of the early states in China. Three models of regional settlement pattern correlating to different types of chiefdom systems are identi®ed. These are: (1) the centripetal regional system in circumscribed regions representing the most complex chiefdom organizations, (2) the centrifugal regional system in semi-circumscribed regions indicating less integrated chiefdom organization, and (3) the decentral- ized regional system in noncircumscribed regions implying competing and the least complex chief- dom organizations. Both external and internal factors, including geographical condition, climatic ¯uctuation, Yellow River's changing course, population movement, and intergroup con¯ict, played important roles in the development of complex societies in the Longshan culture. As in many cultures in other parts of the world, the early states in China emerged from a system of competing chiefdoms, which was characterized by intensive intergroup con¯ict and frequent shifting of political centers.

  • Ex-Post Evaluation Report of Japanese ODA Loan Projects 2009 (China IV)
    No. Ex-Post Evaluation Report of Japanese ODA Loan Projects 2009 (China IV) September 2010 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY IC NET LIMITED EVD JR 10-14 Preface Ex-post evaluation of ODA projects has been in place since 1975 and since then the coverage of evaluation has expanded. Japan’s ODA charter revised in 2003 shows Japan’s commitment to ODA evaluation, clearly stating under the section “Enhancement of Evaluation” that in order to measure, analyze and objectively evaluate the outcome of ODA, third-party evaluations conducted by experts will be enhanced. This volume shows the results of the ex-post evaluation of ODA Loan projects that were mainly completed in fiscal year 2007. The ex-post evaluation was entrusted to external evaluators to ensure objective analysis of the projects’ effects and to draw lessons and recommendations to be utilized in similar projects. The lessons and recommendations drawn from these evaluations will be shared with JICA’s stakeholders in order to improve the quality of ODA projects. Lastly, deep appreciation is given to those who have cooperated and supported the creation of this volume of evaluations. September 2010 Atsuro KURODA Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Disclaimer This volume of evaluations, the English translation of the original Japanese version, shows the result of objective ex-post evaluations made by external evaluators. The views and recommendations herein do not necessarily reflect the official views and opinions of JICA. JICA is not responsible for the accuracy of English translation, and the Japanese version shall prevail in the event of any inconsistency with the English version.

ESEs can be divided into 3 groups according to the geographical coverage of snowfall, using the following criteria to define an ESE: >15 snowfall days, 20 snow-cover/icing days, and 30 cm total cumulated snow depth for an individual winter. The first group covers the whole of Eastern China (East of 105° E), and ESEs occurred in 1654, 1660, 1665, 1670, 1676, 1683, 1689, 1690, 1700, 1714, 1719, 1830−32, 1840, 1877 and 1892; the second group is located mainly in the area south of Huaihe River (~33° N), and ESEs occured in 1694, 1887, 1929, and 1930; and the third group is confined within the central region between Yellow River and Nanling Mountain (roughly 26° to 35° N), and ESEs occurred in 1578, 1620, 1796, and 1841.
