Van het begin van de 12e eeuw tot de Mongoolse invasie in 1276was Hangzhou de hoofdstad van China. Hangzhou bestaat uit 7 districten, waaronder Yuhang, Xiaoshan, Binjiang, Xihu en Gongshu. Het district Yuhang bestaat inmiddels uit circa 1,2 miljoen inwoners. Werkbezoek Burgemeester Jos Heijmans, wethouder Geert Gabriëls, directeur René Bladder en kabinetschef Ton Lemmen bezochten het district Yuhang van 24 llm 27 oktober 2018.

The purpose of this article is to measure the residential sprawl at a micro-scale using a case study of Hangzhou city. An integrated sprawl index on each 1 km × 1 km residential land cell was calculated based on multi-dimensional indices of morphology, population density, land-use composition, and accessibility, followed by a dynamic assessment of residential sprawl. Furthermore, the method of GeoDetector modeling was applied to investigate the potential effects of location, urbanization, land market, and planning policy on the spatial variation of Citation: Zhang, L.; Qiao, G.; Huang, residential sprawl.

In this paper, the time series InSAR technique using high resolution SAR images is investigated for the generation of subsidence maps over Hangzhou region. 29 TerraSAR-X images acquired from May 2012 to Sep 2015 are used. The results show that serious subsidence has mainly taken place in suburban area, including Yuhang district, Xiaoshan district and Binjiang district. 4 subsidence centers are discovered, namely Tangqi town in Yuhang with an average subsiding velocity of -29.6 mm/year, Xintang (-30.7 mm/year) in Xiaoshan, Zhujiaqiao town (-25.6mm/year) in Xiaoshan, and Miaohouwang town (- 30.1mm/year) in Binjiang. The urban area is stable and ground rebound even take place in some places. The results are compared with 19 levelling measurements.

China Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the postmortem changes of muscle proteins and their relationships between these changes and meat quality traits. Six Jinhua and 6 crossbred (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire) male pigs at 180 d were used to determine the post-mortem changes of meat during the storage. Differential proteins between Jinhua pigs and crossbred pigs were profiled and identified by the application of two-dimensional electrophoresis and Mass Spectrometry. Two-dimensional electrophoresis results showed that the expression level of 27 proteins from different breeds of pigs varied during postmortem time (6, 24, 48 and 72 h) and 16 of them was up-regulated in Jinhua pigs (p0.05). Furthermore, the structure and function of 12 proteins were identified by the application of Mass Spectrometry and referring to the protein database. Analysis showed that heat shock protein 27, desmin, β- enolase and pyruvate kinase were highly correlated with the integrity of meat tenderness, water-holding capacity as well as shelf life.
