We are delighted to have this conference held in the beautiful Olympic Green Park in Beijing. This is the same venue where the 2008 Summer Olympics was held exactly ten years ago. We hope that you will enjoy the beauty of Beijing and experience the vibrant activities the city has to offer. Heat transfer continues to be one of the most important disciplines in the engineering fields of the 21st century. Thermal transport processes are fundamental to many technologies such as energy, materials, food processing, space exploration, manufacturing and chemical processes. In recent years, new heat and mass transport research areas, including nano and micro-scale transport phenomena, nano-fluids, and very short time scale thermal transport have recently been developed to meet the demand of modern technologies. In addition, many significant breakthroughs have propelled our fundamental understanding in boiling and condensation, melting and solidification, combustion, and turbulent flows. Additionally, new developments in heat transfer enhancement techniques, computational heat transfer methods, green energy conversion devices and energy storage systems continue to catapult the field of heat transfer to new heights. Despite these successes, we continue to face many challenges in developing cutting edge technologies in efficient energy systems, pollution management, cooling of microelectronic devices and massive data processing systems, advanced manufacturing systems, and hypersonic transport that will all lead to a better living environment and will stimulate economic growth. We hope that your interactions at IHTC-16 will contribute to advancing our understanding of heat and mass transport processes and in developing new energy technologies for future needs. The key to success will require interdisciplinary collaboration across a wide range of disciplines. The IHTC meetings have been nicknamed the “Heat Transfer Olympics”. For more than 60 years, IHTC has offered unique opportunities for heat transfer and energy specialists to develop personal networks and exchange exciting ideas about their state-of-the-art research. The IHTC-16 Organizing Committee is continuing the fine tradition of providing an excellent forum that will advance the heat transfer research work in this rapidly changing world. From more than 1800 submitted abstracts and 1300 submitted full papers, we have accepted more than 1000 full papers from participants from more than 40 countries and regions for presentation at this conference. These papers will be included in the conference proceedings to be published in the Begell House IHTC Digital Library along with all the previous IHTC papers. The program in this conference will include 3 plenary lectures, 28 keynote lectures, 4 panel sessions, and 40 general sessions. The IHTC-16 organizing committee seeks to create a friendly environment at IHTC-16 which will facilitate our interactions to advance the worldwide heat transfer community. We are committed to making your time in Beijing enjoyable and productive. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask for help from any committee member or any volunteer during the conference. Beijing has been the cultural and political center of China for hundreds of years. I hope that you will find time to visit some of these historical sites such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace and, of course, the Great Wall of China. Finally, I am grateful for the generous support of many organizations. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to: The Heat and Mass Transfer Society of China, the Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics, the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer, and the Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences and other cooperating societies and companies for organizing and supporting this meeting. I would like to especially acknowledge the members of the Assembly of IHTCs for handling the paper reviews. And I would like to recognize and thank the IHTC-16 Committee members and the volunteers for their enormous contributions in organizing and running this conference. Ping Cheng Conference Chair Chair Professor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai, China 1 Welcome Welcome from the Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences (AIHTC) The Assembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences (AIHTC), along with its delegates and 23 member national organizations, is delighted to welcome all the participants from around the world to the 2018 International Heat Transfer Conference in Beijing, China, held in conjunction with the Heat and Mass Transfer Society of China.

  • Chinese Attitudes Toward Korean Unification*
    International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 24, No. 2, 2015, 71–98 Chinese Attitudes toward Korean Unification* Bonnie S. Glaser and Yun Sun Although China officially supports unification of the Korean Peninsula, it essentially maintains a two Koreas policy. Beijing sustains this approach because even as the burdens and dangers of the status quo on the peninsula increase, it judges that the risks of unification are potentially greater. Nevertheless, China’s growing economic and political clout along with the strengthening of its ties with South Korea are boosting Beijing’s confidence that it can protect Chinese interests regardless of developments on the peninsula. The more permissible environment in recent years regarding discussion of Chinese policy toward the Koreas has engen- dered a robust debate among Chinese researchers about the potential costs and benefits for China of Korean unification. The ROK and the U.S. should consider ways to influence China’s cost/benefit calculus regarding Korean unification. No single step is likely to alter China’s approach, but an accumulation of measures aimed at easing Chinese fears and reducing the uncertainties associated with unification could have an impact on Chinese thinking and policies over time. Keywords: China, Korean unification, Chinese interests in Korea, Chinese policy toward Korea, China’s role in Korean unification Introduction A core component of South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s policy is to establish the foundation for the peaceful unification of Korea. In a speech marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the liberation of Korea, President Park emphasized the benefits of “a Korea made whole” and called on all Koreans to “stand together and prepare for unification.” Achieving this vision will undoubtedly * The authors would like to thank CSIS research interns Johannes Feige and Lee Beumchan for their research assistance.

Remaking Chineseness: The Transition Of Inner Asian Groups In The Central Plain During The Sixteen Kingdoms Period And Northern Dynasties Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the institutional transitions of the Inner Asian groups in the Central Plain during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and Northern Dynasties. Starting with an examination on the origin and development of Sinicization theory in the West and China, the first major chapter of this dissertation argues the Sinicization theory evolves in the intellectual history of modern times. This chapter, in one hand, offers a different explanation on the origin of the Sinicization theory in both China and the West, and their relationships. In the other hand, it incorporates Sinicization theory into the construction of the historical narrative of Chinese Nationality, and argues the theorization of Sinicization attempted by several scholars in the second half of 20th Century. The second and third major chapters build two case studies regarding the transition of the central and local institutions of the Inner Asian polities in the Central Plain, which are the succession system and the local administrative system.

Criteria (ii), (iii) and (iv):The imperial mausolea are outstanding testimony to a cultural and architectural tradition that for over five hundred years dominated this part of the world; by reason of their integration into the natural environment, they make up a unique ensemble of cultural landscapes. Criterion (vi):The Ming and Qing Tombs are dazzling illustrations of the beliefs, world view, and geomantic theories of Fengshui prevalent in feudal China. They have served as burial edifices for illustrious personages and as the theatre for major events that have marked the history of China. The Committee took note, with appreciation, of the State Party's intention to nominate the Mingshaoling Mausoleum at Nanjing (Jiangsu Province) and the Changping complex in the future as an extention to the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The Ming and Qing imperial tombs are natural sites modified by human influence, carefully chosen according to the principles of geomancy (Fengshui) to house numerous buildings of traditional architectural design and decoration. They illustrate the continuity over five centuries of a world view and concept of power specific to feudal China.

Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract Background At the end of 2019, an unidentied coronavirus, named as “COVID-19” by WHO, has broken out in Wuhan, Hubei Province. We aimed to simulate the development trend of COVID-19 in Wuhan and Hubei as well as estimate the number of COVID-19 cases with the government control policies and trac control. Methods We collected the COVID-19 data in Wuhan and Hubei (January 1, 2020 to April 8, 2020) and simulated three situations about COVID-19 epidemic trend: non-interference, government controlling behavior and trac control by the SEIR model to analyzed the development and inuence of the epidemic. Results We adopted the SEIR model to estimate the number of COVID-19 cases in Hubei peaked on the 107th day without human control, and the number in Wuhan peaked on the 51st day after the lockdown of Wuhan. The number of new cases in Hubei and Wuhan presented a skewed normal distribution in the time series. Government intervention and trac control had a certain inhibitory effect on the daily increase of COVID-19 cases. During the period from January 23 to April 8, 2020, there was a difference of 1,253,433 cases between the daily number of conrmed cases and the actual number of conrmed cases in Hubei under the simulated state of without human control.

Rethinking Chinese Territorial Disputes: How the Value of Contested Land Shapes Territorial Policies Abstract What explains the timing of when states abandon a delaying strategy to change the status quo of one territorial dispute? And when this does happen, why do states ultimately use military force rather than concessions, or vice versa? This dissertation answers these questions by examining four major Chinese territorial disputes - Chinese-Russian and Chinese-Indian frontier disputes and Chinese-Vietnamese and Chinese-Japanese offshore island disputes. I propose a new theory which focuses on the changeability of territorial values and its effects on territorial policies. I argue that territories have particular meaning and value for particular state in particular historical and international settings. The value of a territory may look very different to different state actors at one point in time, or to the same state actor at different points in time. This difference in perspectives may largely help explain not only why, but when state actors choose to suddenly abandon the status quo.
