  • Enzymes Are Nature's Catalysts, Featuring High Reactivity, Selectivity
    ************************* Report Title************************************* Dr. Yao Chen Full Professor personal State Key Laboratory of Medicinal photograph Chemical Biology College of Pharmacy Nankai University Tianjin, China 300071 Phone: 01186-18222132527 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Enzymes are nature’s catalysts, featuring high reactivity, selectivity, and specificity under mild conditions. Enzymatic catalysis has long been of great interest to chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. However, the use of enzymes for industrial applications is often handicapped by their low operational stability, difficult recovery, and lack of reusability under operational conditions. Immobilization of enzymes on solid supports can enhance enzyme stability as well as facilitate separation and recovery for reuse while maintaining activity and selectivity. As new classes of crystalline solid- state materials, porous frameworks materials (such as covalent-organic frameworks, COFs and metal-organic frameworks, MOFs) feature high surface area, tunable pore size, high stability, and easily tailored functionality, which entitle them as ideal supports for encapsulation of biomolecules to form novel composite materials for various applications. Our researches mainly focus on their biocatalysis, biomimetic and medicinal applications. This novel platform based on those biomolecule-incorporation composite materials exhibited various functionality and superior separation efficiency, biocatalytic performances and great potentials on biopharmaceutical formulations. Brief Biography Dr. Yao Chen obtained master degree from Nanjing Tech University, then obtained Ph.D degree from University of South Florida. After finished a posdoc training at UC San Diego, she moved back to China, and is now a full professor of State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology and College of Pharmacy at Nankai University. Her research interest mostly focuses on incorporating biomolecule into porous supports (e.g.

The university charter is the link between social law and the university system and is an intermediary platform for the university to interact with the government and society. This article discusses the meaning and characteristics of the university charter, analyzes the relationship between the university charter and the internal management system in universities. 1. Introduction The university charter is the full laws and regulations of the university, which governs work in the university in accordance with laws and regulations of the competent education authorities. It should clearly define the duties and powers of organizations and power structures, the rules for the appointment of personnel and the exercise of authority under the mission and purpose of the university[1]. The charter of the university should cover everything related to the management of the university. 2. The Process of Formulation of the Charters in the Universities In 1995, the “Law of the PRC on Education” stated that universities have legal qualifications and the right to self-government in accordance with the charters. In 1998, the “Law of the PRC on Higher Education” stipulated that the charter on the establishment of the university should be sent to the approving authority.

    Call for Abstracts Governance and Planning in Transitional China The 10th International Association for China Planning (IACP) Conference Beijing, China, June 30-July 3, 2016 Organized by International Association for China Planning Peking University, China Co-organized by Beijing Jiaotong University China Association of Regional Sciences Sponsored by Urban Planning Society of China We are pleased to invite you to submit abstracts to the 10th IACP Conference. Conference Theme Four decades after its economic reform in the late 1970s, China is still undergoing rapid urbanization and socio-economic changes. Planning, as an important government function in China, has played a critical role in facilitating its urbanization process. At this critical junction of China's repositioning its development strategies and seeking solutions to respond to a wide range of socio-economic, equity and environmental problems, governance and its relationship with planning has become more important than ever before. Governance is the exercise of political, economic and administrative authority in managing urban and rural development and its people's wellbeing. Effective governance will provide mechanisms, processes, and institutions through which planning performs as public policies, and government, citizens, and other stakeholders articulate their interests, mediate their differences, and exercise their legal rights and obligations. The theme of the 10th IACP Conference is “Governance and Planning in Transitional China”. The Conference will bring together planners,
