Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Chinese Dialects
Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Chinese Dialects Esra Erdem Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria [email protected] Feng Wang Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Peking University, Beijing, China [email protected] Evolutionary relations between languages based on their shared characteristics can be represented as a phylogeny --- a tree where the leaves represent the extant languages, the internal vertices represent the ancestral languages, and the edges represent the genetic relations between the languages. On the other hand, languages not only inherit characteristics from their ancestors but also sometimes borrow them from other languages. Such borrowings can be represented by additional non-tree edges, turning a phylogeny into a phylogenetic network. With this motivation, we reconstruct the evolutionary history of languages in two steps: first we compute a plausible phylogeny with a minimal number of incompatible characters, and then we turn this phylogeny into a perfect phylogenetic network, by adding a small number of lateral edges, so that all characters are compatible with the network. For both steps, to formulate the problems and to solve them, we use answer set programming --- a new form of declarative programming. This method has been successfully applied to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Indo-European languages. In the following we summarize its application to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Old Chinese and the following 23 Chinese dialects: Guangzhou, Liancheng, Meixian, Taiwan, Xiamen, Zhangping, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Anyi, Shuangfeng, Changsha, Beijing, Yuci, Taiyuan, Ningxia, Chengdu, Yingshan, Wuhan, Ningbo, Suzhou, Shangai 1, Shangai 2, Wenzhou. We have started with a dataset consisting of 200 lexical characters (the Swadesh wordlist), each with 1--24 states. -

The Standardization of Procedures in Village Committee Elections
The Standardization of Villager Committee Election Procedures Survey Analysis of the 5th Round of Villager Committee Elections in 40 Villages from Five Counties in Jilin Province Sun Long and Tong Zhihui I. Survey Background, Purpose, and Methodology Chinese villager committee elections have entered a phase of legalization and standardization, as indicated by the formal promulgation of the Organic Law on Villager Committees in 1998. Jilin Province is the birthplace of the haixuan method of villager committee elections. Haixuan, or “sea election,” means that candidates are not predetermined by higher- level government offices or leaders but nominated by villagers having the right to vote. Final candidates are then determined according to the number of nominations each individual receives. (Wang Zhoutian, 1995) As early as 1986, a portion of Lishu County, Jilin Province began using the haixuan method. By the 4th round of village committee elections in 1997, 86.8% of all villages in Jilin Province had moved to the haixuan method. (Jilin Province People’s Congress Internal Affairs and Justice Committee, et al., 2001) In November 2000, the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress in Jilin Province ratified the Jilin Province Measures for the Election of Villager Committees , standardizing many procedures in villager committee elections. Under the guidance of these Measures, the 5th round of villager committee elections in Jilin Province were held between November 2000 and March 2001. To determine how well the election procedures had been implemented in the villager committee elections, in July 2001 the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) Department of Basic- Level Governance and Community Construction conducted a survey of 790 cadres and villagers in 40 villages randomly selected from five counties in Jilin Province. -

Victoria-Changsha Friendship City Signing Ceremony
M e d i a A d v i s o r y Victoria-Changsha Friendship City Signing Ceremony Date: Thursday, December 1, 2011 For Immediate Release VICTORIA, BC – The media and public are invited to join Mayor Dean Fortin tomorrow at a Friendship City Agreement signing ceremony at City Hall. Mayor Fortin and Mayor Zhang Jianfei of Changsha, China, will be signing the agreement, which marks the official Friendship City status between the two cities. A Friendship City is less formal than a Twin City relationship, though the purpose is similar. The main goal of Friendship City contact is to create friendship and understanding between communities and to lay a foundation of goodwill and exchange for future generations. What: Victoria-Changsha Friendship City Agreement signing ceremony When: Friday, December 2, 2011, from 11:30 a.m. to noon Where: Council Chambers, Victoria City Hall “Building relationships between Victoria and our counterpart cities in China is very important,” said Mayor Dean Fortin. “Our new friendship status with Changsha will bring many benefits to all of us – economically, educational and culturally. We have many similarities, and share many key industries. This creates exciting opportunities on both sides of the Pacific.” As a result of a 2010 City of Victoria China Trade Mission, a partnership between the University of Victoria and Hunan University in China was established, and a new MBA Executive Program for Changsha students at UVic is already underway. The City of Victoria recently released an Economic Development Strategy, with the goal of fostering the conditions for more jobs and investment to come to our city, to diversify the economy, and ensure the City is fiscally strong for future generations. -
Characteristics of Spatial Connection Based on Intercity Passenger Traffic Flow in Harbin- Changchun Urban Agglomeration, China Research Paper

Characteristics of Spatial Connection Based on Intercity Passenger Traffic Flow in Harbin- Changchun Urban Agglomeration, China Research Paper Characteristics of Spatial Connection Based on Intercity Passenger Traffic Flow in Harbin-Changchun Urban Agglomeration, China Rong Guo, School of Architecture,Harbin Institute of Technology,Key Laboratory of Cold Region Urban and Rural Human Settlement Environment Science and Technology,Ministry of Industry and Information Technology,Harbin 150006,China Tong Wu, School of Architecture,Harbin Institute of Technology,Key Laboratory of Cold Region Urban and Rural Human Settlement Environment Science and Technology,Ministry of Industry and Information Technology,Harbin 150006,China Xiaochen Wu, School of Architecture,Harbin Institute of Technology,Key Laboratory of Cold Region Urban and Rural Human Settlement Environment Science and Technology,Ministry of Industry and Information Technology,Harbin 150006,China Abstract With the continuous improvement of transportation facilities and information networks, the obstruction of distance in geographic space has gradually weakened, and the hotspots of urban geography research have gradually changed from the previous city hierarchy to the characteristics of urban connections and networks. As the main carrier and manifestation of elements, mobility such as people and material, traffic flow is of great significance for understanding the characteristics of spatial connection. In this paper, Harbin-Changchun agglomeration proposed by China's New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) is taken as a research object. With the data of intercity passenger traffic flow including highway and railway passenger trips between 73 county-level spatial units in the research area, a traffic flow model is constructed to measure the intensity of spatial connection. -

Understanding Land Subsidence Along the Coastal Areas of Guangdong, China, by Analyzing Multi-Track Mtinsar Data

Land subsidence can accelerate the increase in relative sea level, lead to a series of potential hazards, and threaten the stability of the ecological environment and human lives. In this paper, we adopted two commonly used multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MTInSAR) techniques, Small baseline subset (SBAS) and Temporarily coherent point (TCP) InSAR, to monitor the land subsidence along the entire coastline of Guangdong Province. The long-wavelength L-band ALOS/PALSAR-1 dataset collected from 2007 to 2011 is used to generate the average deformation velocity and deformation time series. Linear subsidence rates over 150 mm/yr are observed in the Chaoshan Plain.
