This study investigated geographic and pairwise distances among seven Chinese local and four introduced sheep populations via analysis of 26 microsatellite DNA markers. Genetic polymorphism was rich, and the following was discovered: 348 alleles in total were detected, the average allele number was 13.38, the polymorphism information content (PIC) of loci ranged from 0.717 to 0.788, the number of effective alleles ranged from 7.046 to 7.489, and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.700 to 0.768 for the practical sample, and from 0.712 to 0.794 for expected heterozygosity. The Wright’s F-statistic of subpopulations within the total (FST) was 0.128, the genetic differentiation coefficient G( ST) was 0.115, and the average gene flow N( m) was 1.703. The phylogenetic trees based on the neighbor-joining method by Nei’s genetic distance (DA) and Nei’s standard genetic distance (DS) were similar.

  • The Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of the Coordinated Development Of
    2019 International Conference on Power, Energy, Environment and Material Science (PEEMS 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-669-5 The Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of the Coordinated Development of Urbanization and Resources Environmental Carrying Capacity in Lanzhou-Xining Urban Agglomeration Wei-ping ZHANG and Pei-ji SHI* School of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, P.R. China *Corresponding author Keywords: Urbanization, Resource environmental carrying capacity, Coordination characteristics, Temporal and spatial patterns, Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration. Abstract. The coordination of urbanization and resources and environment is one of the key issues to promote regional social and economic development. This paper took Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration as the study area, constructed the evaluation index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity first, and then used entropy method and the coordination degree model to measure the coordination of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity from 2005 to 2017. Results indicate that the overall index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity of Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration shows an upward trend, and there are obvious spatial differences, especially between Lanzhou and Xining and the surrounding counties. The coordination degree of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity is between [0.5, 0.6), most of the counties are in a state of reluctance coordination, and the spatial distribution law of the degree is high in the east and low in the west. And the regional differences are gradually shrinking. There is a significant positive correlation between urbanization and capacity. The coordination status of Lanzhou and Xining provincial cities is relatively good, and the urbanization level is lower.

I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Eve Richard. Abstract My PhD thesis studies the rise of modern education in China and its underlying driving forces from the turn of the 20th century. It is motivated by one sweeping educational movement in Chinese history: the traditional Confucius teaching came to an abrupt end, and was replaced by a modern and national education model at the turn of the 20th century. This thesis provides the first systematic quantitative studies that examine the rise of education through the initial stage of its development.

Tan ([email protected]) 1037 Abstract The precipitation variations of Longxi area, northeast margin of Tibetan plateau since AD 960 are reconstructed from Chinese historical documentary records. It shows that since AD 960, the precipitation of Longxi fluctuantly decreased to the lowest in the end 5 stage of 17th century and 18th century. After this period, the precipitation gradually increased. Three short wet periods of Longxi in the last millennium were: from the end of 10th century to the early of 11th century, from the end of 12th century to the early of 13th century and the first half of 20th century. The precipitation variations of Longxi coincide well with variations of the Northern Hemisphere temperature and the 14 10 atmospheric C concentration, the modeled solar output, the reconstructed total solar irradiance, which shows that solar activity may be the main driving force of precipita- tion variations of Longxi on multi-decadal to centennial scales in the last millennium.

  • Study on Sheepskin Raft
    Frontiers in Art Research ISSN 2618-1568 Vol. 1, Issue 6: 21-29, DOI: 10.25236/FAR.2019.010604 Study on Sheepskin raft Wang Lei Northwest normal University, Lanzhou Gansu 100084, China ABSTRACT. Since ancient times, Lanzhou has three treasures of local characteristics. As the saying goes, “auspicious gourd and beef noodles, and sheepskin raft like warship.” Not only the sheepskin raft is the wisdom crystallization of ancient people who face the natural danger of the Yellow River, but also reflects the spirit of fighting waves of people of all ethnic minorities who dare to challenge the nature. With the development of economy and technology, advanced freighters have replaced sheepskin rafts as means of transport. However, people gradually pay attention to the intangible cultural heritage identity of sheepskin rafts. So, how does the sheepskin raft reflect the past of history? In this paper, literature research and comparative analysis to discuss the sheepskin rate of the development of history and the process of production. KEYWORDS: Sheepskin raft; The history of Gansu; Cultural heritage 1. Introduction The sheepskin raft created in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. It is important to use the sheepskin raft to cross the Yellow river for people who live in the provinces of Gansu and Ningxia on the bank of the Yellow River. Sheepskin raft also is an important cultural heritage of Lanzhou. (flag.1) It not only carries the historical mission of labor, transportation of generations and life, but also inherits and develops the wisdom of the people on both sides of the Yellow River to adapt to local conditions and fight against heaven and earth.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 176 2nd International Conference on Management, Education and Social Science (ICMESS 2018) Analysis of Spatial-temporal Dynamics and Influencing Factors of County Economic Disparity: A Case Study of Gansu Province Yan Han, Yuan Zhang, Meiling Deng Department of Economics and Management Lanzhou Jiaotong University Lanzhou China Abstract—This paper uses the analytical framework of [3].The above studies provide useful analytical approaches for exploratory spatial-temporal data analysis (ESTDA) to analyze understanding regional economic differences. the spatial-temporal dynamics and influencing factors of county- level economic disparities in Gansu Province from 1995-2015. The A large number of empirical studies have shown that spatial results are as follows: Through the analysis of spatial-temporal dependence and heterogeneity are ubiquitous and not an evolution, it is found that the regional economy of Gansu Province exception. Economic development differences themselves has a local spatial differentiation while the spatial agglomeration coexist with spatial patterns of temporal dynamics and spatial area is expanding. The phenomenon of club convergence has patterns of temporal behavior. On the other hand, more and emerged in regional economic development, and the regional more scholars have noticed that the temporal and spatial economy has obvious path dependence characteristics. The spatial properties of data are equally important, but the existing regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting regional research methods focus on only one of them, namely spatial type economic differences in Gansu Province. Among them, the degree analysis (formal analysis) and time series analysis (process of decentralization and marketization have greater impact on analysis) is often separated [11-12].
