Additionally, Hubei Province is well-known for its diverse landforms, including mountains, hills, mounds and plains. This area is called “The Province of Thousand Lakes” due to the abundance of water resources. Geographical names are exclusive names given to physical or anthropogenic geographic entities at specific spatial locations and are important signs by which humans understand natural and human activities. In this study, geographic information systems (GIS) technology is adopted to establish a geodatabase of geographical names with particular characteristics in Hubei Province and extract certain geomorphologic and environmental factors.

  • Economic Development Committee, and Michael Deangelis, the Former City Manager
    COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE – FEBRUARY 28, 2012 LETTER OF ECONOMIC INTENT, ZIBO, SHANDONG, PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA Recommendation The Director of Economic Development in consultation with the City Manager, recommends: That the City explore the development of an Economic Partnership with Zibo, Shandong, People’s Republic of China through the signing of the attached Letter of Economic Intent. Contribution to Sustainability Green Directions Vaughan embraces a Sustainability First principle and states that sustainability means we make decisions and take actions that ensure a healthy environment, vibrant communities and economic vitality for current and future generations. Under this definition, activities related to attracting and retaining business investments contributes to the economic vitality of the City. Global competition in the form of trade and business investment, forces even the smallest of enterprises to operate on the world stage. With the assistance of the City, access to government officials and business contacts can be made more readily available. Economic Impact The recommendation above will not have any impact on the 2012 operating budget. However, any future activity associated with the signing of a Letter of Economic Intent, such as; any future business mission(s) to Zibo, Shandong that involves the City would be established through a future report that identifies objectives and costs for Council approval. Communications Plan Should Council approve the signing of a Letter of Economic Intent with Zibo, Shandong, the partnership will be highlighted in communications to the business community through the Economic Development Department’s newsletter Business Link and Vaughan e-BusinessLink. In addition, staff of the Economic Development Department will work with Corporate Communications to issue a News Release on the day of the signing that highlights the partnership.

  • Identification of the Proto-Inkstone by Organic Residue Analysis: a Case Study from the Changle Cemetery in China
    Ren et al. Herit Sci (2018) 6:19 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-018-0184-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Identifcation of the proto‑inkstone by organic residue analysis: a case study from the Changle Cemetery in China Meng Ren1,2, Renfang Wang3 and Yimin Yang2* Abstract The inkstone is a specifc writing implement in China that was popularized since the Han Dynasty (202 BC–AD 220). A rectangular/round grinding plate accompanied with a grinding stone is considered as a kind of proto-inkstone. How- ever, little scientifc investigation has been performed to support this hypothesis. In this paper, a micro-destructive approach, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS), were employed to analyse the black residues on a grinding plate and a grinding stone excavated from the Changle Cemetery (202 BC–AD 8) in northwestern China. The FTIR and Raman analyses indicated that the residues were ancient ink. GC–MS analysis further identifed that the residues were pine- soot ink, based on the relative abundances of the main polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as the detection of conifer biomarkers. The trace of animal glue was not detected in the residues; thus, the ink was possibly formed as small pellets and the small grinding stone was necessary to assist during the ink-grinding process. This study confrms that this set of stone implements is indeed an early type of inkstone, and ofers some insight into the co-evolution relationship between ink production and inkstone shapes. Keywords: Chinese inkstone, Shape, Pine-soot ink, Dehydroabietic acid Introduction and culture.
