The dyke to be constructed will directly protect 14,000 population and 53,000 ha of farmland in Duerbenxin, Zalaite Banner, Inner Mongolia. The Duerbenxin is located in the junction among Yalu River, Zuoer River and Nen River, with the ground elevation of 139.5~ 144.5m, being threatened by floods all long time. Duerbenxin dyke has a total length of 19.975 km including 6.3 km of Sanjiazi section, 19.212 km of Erjiazi section and 4.463 km of Muye section. The flood control standard will be up to 35 year after the construction of Duerbenxin dyke including upgrade and strengthening. The main contents of the core subproject include earthwork, protective slop, sluices, and management facilities. The major work quantities include earth of 769,000m3, concrete of 39,000 m3 and rock of 1,200 m3. It is planned to start in 2002 and finish in 2004. At present, the existing Duerbenxin dyke is not closed with low flood control standard and weak flood control capacity, which had severely threatened the security of lives and properties of people and enterprises and restricted local economic development. The implementation of the dyke construction project will effectively solve the flood control problem in Duerbenxin. 1.2 Benefited and Affected Area Duerbenxin dyke is located on the right bank of the Nen River, the north bank of the Zuoer River, and the south bank of the Yalu River. The flood control standard will be increased to 35 year after completion of Duerbenxin dyke, and it is expected to further increased to 50 year after completion of the Nierji Reservoir in upper reaches of Nen River. so as to improve the stability development in this area. The directed protected area of this subproject includes Baojuyuan Village, Sanjiazi Village, Duerbenxin village in Inner Mongolia, and Suitian Village in Heilongjiang Province. The total amount of protected area is 118.3 m2 including 73.3 km2 in Inner Mongolia and 45 km2 in Heilongjiang Province. The construction of Duerbenxin dike will affected 2 villages including Erjiazi Village 1 SONGHUA RIVER FLOOD MANAGEMENT SECTOR PROJECT ANNEX B: DUERBENXIN DIKE RESETTLEMENT PLAN and Duerbenxin Village in Nuwenmuren Township. A total of 83.2 ha of village land will be acquired permanently including 58.8 ha of farmland and 24.4 ha of wasteland. Meanwhile, during construction, a total of 28.3 ha of land will be used temporarily including 6.3 ha of farmland and 22 ha of wasteland. However, no houses and attachments demolition will occur in the project. 1.3 Measures for Reducing Impacts of the Project In the feasible study and design of the Project, according to the Land Administration Law of PRC, the Regulations about Land Acquisition and Resettlement (LAR) for Large and Middle Hydraulic and Hydroelectric Engineering, Provincial Land Administration Regulations, and policies and regulations of local governments, some engineering measures are considered to reduce the resettlement impacts induced by the project described as follows. 1.3.1 Minimizing Land Acquisition by Optimized Design The dike will be upgraded and strengthened based on the original existing dike, the new dike will be constructed by using the local civil dike in order to minimize the land acquisition. 1.3.2 Optimization of Temporary Land Acquisition Layout The layout of the temporary land use will be taken consideration of avoiding large quantity of farmland acquisition. Base on the spot survey, the design institute formulate the specific location for temporary

Dissertation Advisor: Ian Jared Miller Sakura Marcelle Christmas The Cartographic Steppe: Mapping Environment and Ethnicity in Japan’s Imperial Borderlands ABSTRACT This dissertation traces one of the origins of the autonomous region system in the People’s Republic of China to the Japanese imperial project by focusing on Inner Mongolia in the 1930s. Here, Japanese technocrats demarcated the borderlands through categories of ethnicity and livelihood. At the center of this endeavor was the perceived problem of nomadic decline: the loss of the region’s deep history of transhumance to Chinese agricultural expansion and capitalist extraction.

  • Field Fungal Diversity in Freshly Harvested Japonica Rice
    1 Field fungal diversity in freshly harvested japonica rice 2 3 4 5 ABSTRACT 6 Rice is a major food crop in China and Japonica rice production in Heilongjiang 7 Province ranks No.1 in total annual rice production in the country. Rice is prone to 8 invasion by fungi and mycotoxins produced by the fungi are proven to be serious 9 threats to human health. The objective of the present study was to investigate fungal 10 diversity of freshly harvested rice in the four main cultivation regions of Heilongjiang 11 Province in order to find the abundance difference of dominant fungi among the four 12 regions. Through high throughput sequencing we detected Ascomycota accounts for 13 absolute dominant phylum; Dothideomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Tremellomycetes, 14 Microbotryomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes were dominant classes; Capnodiales, 15 Hypocreales, and Pleosporales were the main orders; Cladosporiaceae, Pleosporaceae, 16 Nectriaceae, Clavicipitaceae, Tremellaceae, Phaeosphaeriaceae, 17 Trimorphomycetaceae, Sporidiobolaceae, Bionectriaceae, and Trichocomaceae were 18 major family; Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Fusarium, and Alternaria were the most 19 abundant phylotypes at genus level; Epicoccum_nigrum, Gibberella_zeae, and 20 Fusarium_proliferatum were the dominant fungal species. Great fungal diversity was 21 observed in the rice samples harvested in the four major Japonica rice-growing regions 22 in Heilongjiang province. However, no significant difference in diversity was observed 23 among the four regions, likely due to the relatively close geographical proximity 24 leading to very similar climatic conditions. Since some of the fungal species produce 25 mycotoxins, it is necessary to take precautions to ensure the rice is stored under safe 26 conditions to prevent the production of mycotoxins.

    Silencing Complaints Chinese Human Rights Defenders March 11, 2008 Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Web: http://crd-net.org/ Email: [email protected] One World, One Dream: Universal Human Rights Silencing Complaints: Human Rights Abuses Against Petitioners in China A report by Chinese Human Rights Defenders In its Special Series on Human Rights and the Olympics Abstract As China prepares to host the Olympics, this report finds that illegal interception and arbitrary detention of petitioners bringing grievances to higher authorities have become more systematic and extensive, especially in the host city of the Olympic Games, Beijing. ―The most repressive mechanisms are now being employed to block the steady stream of petitioners from registering their grievances in Beijing. The Chinese government wants to erase the image of people protesting in front of government buildings, as it would ruin the meticulously cultivated impression of a contented, modern, prosperous China welcoming the world to the Olympics this summer,‖ said Liu Debo,1 who participated in the investigations and research for this report. Petitioners, officially estimated to be 10 million, are amongst those most vulnerable to human rights abuses in China today. As they bring complaints about lower levels of government to higher authorities, they face harassment and retaliation. Officially, the Chinese government encourages petitions and has an extensive governmental bureaucracy to handle them. In practice, however, officials at all levels of government have a vested interest in preventing petitioners from speaking up about the mistreatment and injustices they have suffered. The Chinese government has developed a complex extra-legal system to intercept, confine, and punish petitioners in order to control and silence them, often employing brutal means such as assault, surveillance, harassment of family members, kidnapping, and incarceration in secret detention centers, psychiatric institutions and Re-education through Labor camps.

This review concerning the status of taeniasis/cysticercosis in China has been compiled from various reports of studies conducted over the past 30 years, most of which have appeared in national publications in Chinese. Previous hospital reports and epidemiologic surveys have indicated that taeniasis/ cysticercosis has been distributed throughout 671 counties in 29 provinces or prefectures of China. There are an estimated three million cysticercosis cases nationwide, while Taenia asiatica has presently been confirmed by DNA typing as occurring in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou Provinces. Although efforts to reduce transmission of taeniasis/cysticercosis have occurred in most endemic areas over the last 30 years, reports conducted over the past 15 years in southwest China have indicated that cysticercosis is emerging as a serious public health problem in this area. The most recent available information on this food-borne parasitic disease, from

Huang a,*, D.H. Wenb, P. Wang a a School of Geographical Sciences, Northeast Normal University, Renmin Street, Changchun, China- [email protected], [email protected] b Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, Dong Nanhu Road, Changchun, China- [email protected] Commission VIII, WG VIII/8 KEY WORDS: Vegetation Dynamics, NDVI, Climate Variability, Correlation Analysis, Rescaled Range Analysis, SPOT VEGETATION, the Upper and Middle Reaches of the Nenjiang River ABSTRACT: To detect changes in vegetation is desirable for modeling and predicting interactions between land surface and atmosphere. Multi- temporal series of SPOT VEGETATION NDVI dataset and meteorological data were integrated to interpret vegetation dynamics and the linkage with climate variations in the upper and middle reaches of the Nenjiang River Basin (NRB) from 1999 to 2010 using the correlation analysis and the rescaled range (R/S) analysis. The results demonstrate that annual NDVI increased slightly and 26.02% vegetation coverage of the study area significantly improved. The area of significantly decreased in vegetation cover took up 13.33% of the total land in spring. In autumn, 26.2% of the study area showed a significant vegetation increase. The improved activity of vegetation might reinforce in summer and autumn, while the decreasing tendency in spring might be persistent in the future.

Abstract: Given that cultivated land serves as a strategic resource to ensure national food security, blind emphasis on improvement of food production capacity can lead to soil overutilization and impair other soil functions. Therefore, we took Heilongjiang province as an example to conduct a multi-functional evaluation of soil at the provincial scale. A combination of soil, climate, topography, land use, and remote sensing data were used to evaluate the functions of primary productivity, provi- sion and cycling of nutrients, provision of functional and intrinsic biodiversity, water purification and regulation, and carbon sequestration and regulation of cultivated land in 2018. We designed a soil function discriminant matrix, constructed the supply-demand ratio, and evaluated the current status of supply and demand of soil functions. Soil functions demonstrated a distribution pattern Citation: Zhao, R.; Li, J.; Wu, K.; of high grade in the northeast and low grade in the southwest, mostly in second-level areas.
