  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

  • Effects of Food Contamination on Gastrointestinal Morbidity: Comparison of Different Machine-Learning Methods
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Effects of Food Contamination on Gastrointestinal Morbidity: Comparison of Different Machine-Learning Methods Qin Song 1,*, Yu-Jun Zheng 2 and Jun Yang 3 1 Scientific Research Institute, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China 2 Institute of Service Engineering, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China; [email protected] 3 School of Public Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310009, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 January 2019; Accepted: 3 March 2019; Published: 7 March 2019 Abstract: Morbidity prediction can be useful in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of medical services, but accurate morbidity prediction is often difficult because of the complex relationships between diseases and their influencing factors. This study investigates the effects of food contamination on gastrointestinal-disease morbidities using eight different machine-learning models, including multiple linear regression, a shallow neural network, and three deep neural networks and their improved versions trained by an evolutionary algorithm. Experiments on the datasets from ten cities/counties in central China demonstrate that deep neural networks achieve significantly higher accuracy than classical linear-regression and shallow neural-network models, and the deep denoising autoencoder model with evolutionary learning exhibits the best prediction performance. The results also indicate that the prediction accuracies on acute gastrointestinal diseases are generally higher than those on other diseases, but the models are difficult to predict the morbidities of gastrointestinal tumors. This study demonstrates that evolutionary deep-learning models can be utilized to accurately predict the morbidities of most gastrointestinal diseases from food contamination, and this approach can be extended for the morbidity prediction of many other diseases.

  • Is There a Quick Path for Valuation of Ecosystem Services?-A Comparative Study in Xiu River, China
    E3S Web of Conferences 53, 03033 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20185303033 ICAEER 2018 Is There A Quick Path For Valuation Of Ecosystem Services?-A Comparative Study In Xiu River, China Tongyang Wei, and Yong Yang Agricultural Information Institute of CAAS,Beijing,China Abstract. This paper uses the valuation of Xiu River Hydrological Regulating services in Jiangxi province, China as a case study to compare 3 methods to value the ecosystem services, i.e improved contingent valuation method, choice based conjoint analysis and special benefit transfer method. Willingness to pay is estimated by using Logit and Clogit with contrasting controls for non-protests residents. This study discusses the implications of these findings and direction for related future researches into the ecosystem services valuation in China. Appropriate methods should be used for different valuation proposes, rather than blindly using special benefit transfer method just for its convenience. China should construct Ecosystem services value table based on Chinese case studies. cases of comparison between benefit transfer method and 1 Introduction other valuation methods. Most of the comparative cases are value-comparison cases. There are few studies that In the past 30 years, China’s economy has developed compare different valuation methods in terms of their rapidly, with natural resources excessive consumption applicability, practice, rationale, and accuracy of and destruction.

Since it was launched in October 2011, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) Satellite has become a new satellite used to monitor nighttime light. This study performed the first evaluation on the NPP-VIIRS nighttime light imagery in modeling economy, analyzing 31 provincial regions and 393 county regions in China. For each region, the total nighttime light (TNL) and gross regional product (GRP) around the year of 2010 were derived, and a linear regression model was applied on the data.
