As soon as we received a portion of donations last week, we immediately purchased 20 oxygen concentrators and sent them to five hospitals in Wuhan. On the morning of Monday, Feb. 24, we purchased an additional 10 oxygen concentrators to be sent to another three Hubei hospitals. These eight hospitals were the result of a careful selection process and were determined to have the most urgent need on the frontlines. Since purchasing the devices, we have kept a watchful eye on their movements every day. Though our shipments encountered delays due to road closures in certain regions, as of Mar. 01, 28 of the 30 donated oxygen concentrators have reached their intended hospitals. The other two are still en route to their destination of Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County No.2 People’s Hospital.

In fact, spatial planning system of China is Abstract—“National Territorial Planning (2016-2030)” was not perfect. It is a crucial problem that land resources have been issued by the State Council of China in 2017. As an important unordered and decentralized developed and overexploited so initiative of putting it into effect, territorial planning at provincial level that ecological space and agricultural space are seriously makes overall arrangement of territorial development, resources and squeezed. In this regard, territorial planning makes crucial environment protection, comprehensive renovation and security system construction. Hubei province, as the pivot of the “Rise of attempt to realize the "Multi-Plan Integration" mode and Central China” national strategy, is now confronted with great contributes to spatial planning system reform. It is also opportunities and challenges in territorial development, protection, conducive to improving land use regulation and enhancing and renovation.

However, only few studies have focused on the nutritional status and health level of this special occupational group. Objective: By comparing the health status of apiculturists (beekeepers) and vegetable farmers in plain areas of Hubei Province, and analyzing the influence of dietary structure and intake on their nutritional level, this paper provides a scientific theoretical basis for the further development of health education and disease prevention for beekeepers. Methods: From February to April 2016, 191/236 beekeepers (80.9% of the total beekeepers) with large-scale breeding (300-500 colonies) and 182 vegetable farmers in the same area were sampled by the cluster sampling method. Their nutrient composition was analyzed using a human body composition analyzer, dietary structure information was collected using the dietary frequency query method, and cognitive function was investigated.

  • White-Eared Night Heron Gorsachius Magnificus in China
    Bird Conservation International (2007) 17:93–101. ß BirdLife International 2007 doi: 10.1017/S0959270906000566 Printed in the United Kingdom An update on the distribution of the ‘Endangered’ White-eared Night Heron Gorsachius magnificus in China HE FEN-QI, JOHN R. FELLOWES, BOSCO P. L. CHAN, MICHAEL W. N. LAU, LIN JIAN-SHENG and LEE KWOK SHING Summary The literature on the past distribution and status of the White-eared Night Heron in China is reviewed, and updated based on recent field investigations and reports from Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan. Recent records reveal the species to be more widespread than previously thought, but there remain many uncertainties about the area of occupancy and connectivity between known populations. The rate of discovery of new sites suggests the species may be under-recorded, but a number of recent sites have been lost, and no truly secure populations are known. There thus remains an urgent need for better information from throughout the species’ range, especially from historical sites, as well as increased protection. Introduction Since its discovery at Wuzhishan, Hainan Island, in 1899, the White-eared Night Heron Gorsachius magnificus has been recorded from eight provinces in southern China, together with two records from north-eastern Vietnam (BirdLife International 2001, 2004; He and Lin 2004). Until the end of the twentieth century, the recorded distribution of White-eared Night Heron in mainland China formed a horseshoe shape, with an empty core in the provinces of Jiangxi and Hunan (Figure 1). Available records suggest the species has a highly fragmented distribution and is extremely rare.

  • Exploring the Spatial Pattern of Urban Block Development Based on POI Analysis: a Case Study in Wuhan, China
    sustainability Article Exploring the Spatial Pattern of Urban Block Development Based on POI Analysis: A Case Study in Wuhan, China Hailing Xu, Jianghong Zhu * and Zhanqi Wang School of Public Administration, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China; [email protected] (H.X.); [email protected] (Z.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-1339-715-7676 Received: 3 November 2019; Accepted: 4 December 2019; Published: 6 December 2019 Abstract: As a kind of geospatial big data, point of interest (POI) with useful information has become a hot research topic. Compared with traditional methods, big data has great potential in developing a more accurate method for identifying the urban spatial pattern. This paper uses diversity index and kernel density analysis of POI data on several types of urban infrastructure to investigate the identification of urban block development stages in Wuhan, and divides them into the primary, growth, and mature stage. Its accuracy is verified by exploring urban micro-centers. Results show that: (1) the spatial pattern of urban blocks in Wuhan presents the distribution of “mature blocks concentrated like a core, growth blocks distributed like two wings, and primary blocks with wide range distributed surround”; (2) areas with more connected construction land and streets with better socio-economic status tend to have a higher level of maturity, vice versa; (3) balancing the number of micro-centers at different stages is beneficial to promote the flattened urban development of Wuhan in the future. The research proves that this method is feasible, and it is also applicable to the study of urban spatial pattern in other cities.

The purpose of this paper was to assess the distribution of COVID-19 morbidity rate in association with social and economic factors and discuss the implications for urban development that help to control infectious diseases. This study was a cross-sectional study. In this study, social and economic factors were classified into three dimensions: built environment, economic activities, and public service status. The method applied in this study was the spatial regression analysis. In the 13 districts in Wuhan, the spatial regression analysis was applied. The results showed that: 1) increasing population density, construction land area proportion, value-added of tertiary industry per unit of land area, total retail sales of consumer goods per unit of land area, public green space density, aged population density were associated with an increased COVID-19 morbidity rate due to the positive characteristics of estimated coefficients of these variables.

Lan*, Z. Q. Wang, C. Wei, L. G. Zhang School of Public Management, China University of Geosciences (CUG), No.388 Lumo Road, Wuhan 430074, China Received August 15, 2017, Revised November 15, 2017 After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China had been launched successfully, the Chinese government showed confidence by improving the ecological environment of the whole country in changing the traditional planning method which considers the social and economic benefits rather than the ecological one. In this paper, the simulation experiment tries to delimit an area of ecological infrastructure with the guidance of the “security pattern” and “negative planning” concept which has a more favorable index of ecological environment than the traditional way in the spatial pattern planning of basic farmland. The results show that the new planning provides more high-quality and less fragmentary cultivated land than the traditional one, and the cultivated land is more adaptable in biodiversity and producing activity, which is in line with the development of environmental policies of the Chinese government and the global sustainable development.

Influenced by accelerated social and economic development, the structural, functional, and environmental states of RLS have been seriously damaged. It is an important problem for human beings to coordinate the contradiction between socio-economic development and the protection of RLS. In order to quantitatively study the harmonious relationship between socio-economic development and the state of RLS, the harmony theory method was used to analyze the degree of harmonious development between socio-economy and RLS in this study taking Xiangyang City as an example, and formulating corresponding harmonious optimization schemes. The results indicate that: (1) the state of RLS had a relatively small change during 2009–2014, and its spatial

Natural Hybridization between Persian Walnut and Chinese Walnut Revealed by Simple Sequence Repeat Markers Zhan Shu, Xue Zhang, Dianqiong Yu, Sijia Xue, and Hua Wang1 Key Laboratory of Horticultural Plant Biology, Ministry of Education, College of Horticulture and Forestry Sciences, Huazhong Agricultural University, Shizishan Street, 430070 Wuhan, People’s Republic of China ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. introgression, microsatellite, Juglans cathayensis, Juglans regia ABSTRACT. Hybridization between species of the genus Juglans is common because of weak reproductive isolation mechanisms between closely related species with sympatric distributions. In this research, we investigated the possibility of naturally occurring interspecific hybrids between two species in the genus Juglans: persian walnut (Juglans regia) and chinese walnut (Juglans cathayensis). We used 12 pairs of microsatellite markers to analyze introgression between the two species. All amplified microsatellites were polymorphic in the two species. The result of Bayesian admixture analyses showed that introgression between the two species is rare; only three of nine individuals tentatively identified as hybrids, based on intermediate morphological characteristics, were defined as mixed genotypes. The other six putative hybrids and 156 morphologically pure individuals showed no sign of introgression. Natural hybridization between sympatric forest tree species topography. Juglans cathayensis generally grows on mountain is common in natural populations; it can influence the genetic slopes or in valleys with 500- to 2800-m elevations. In Hubei diversity within species and promote new species formation Province, China, these two species are frequently sympatric in (Arnold, 2006; Lexer et al., 2005). Loss of diversity from many regions and hybridization may occur.
