Urban Project
Urban Development Planning/Needs Assessment Collaborators: Guangxi University of Technology, Departments of Foreign Languages and Social Work Guangxi University, Nanning, School of Public Administration Pingxiang Mayor and City government Photo Courtesy of Field School Participants The purpose of this project was to illustrate objective, systematic, and representative community needs and assets assessment methodology to Chinese social science and public administration students and faculty; city and regional planning staff and officials; as well as U.S. graduate and undergraduate students. The objective of data collection was to help inform local planning and policy decisions and improve responsiveness of government, give some voice to local resident concerns, and serve as a pilot study for potential comparative urban studies (such as U.S. versus China perceived community needs). The urban project was planned to be implemented in the city of Liuzhou, but like the rural project, the urban development project was delayed by local officials so the research site was moved to Pingxiang and included the collaboration of students and faculty from Guangxi University in Nanning. Some of the findings include: • The only problem approaching a moderate level of concern was unemployment. • All the others were identified by most residents as “not a problem” or a small problem. • When asked what areas of the community needs the most improvement, the responses varied. The most common were public safety/security and street lighting, followed by the environment and maintenance of public property. • Asking about local services resulted in more critical responses: residents were only moderately satisfied with all the city services and neighborhood resources. -

Investing in the Power of Women in China
Impact Report on Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women Developed by Tsinghua University Entrepreneurship Research Center on G20 Economies INVESTING IN THE POWER OF WOMEN IN CHINA Investing in the Power of Women in China Supporting women entrepreneurs across China Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women is an ongoing initiative to foster economic growth by providing women entrepreneurs around the world with business and management education, and access to capital. The initiative is founded on research conducted by Goldman Sachs, the World Bank and others, which contends that such an investment can have a significant impact on GDP growth. Goldman Sachs10,000 Women was launched globally in 2008 and has operated in China since 2009 graduating more than 1,940 women from the program in partnership with four universities: Tsinghua University, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, Yunnan University and Zhejiang University. Globally, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women has supported more than 10,000 women from across 56 countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Brazil, China, Egypt, India and Rwanda through a network of 100 academic, nonprofit and bank partners. This report is the research result of the Entrepreneurship Research Center on G20 Economies, Tsinghua University. Under the leadership of Professor Gao Jian, Director of the Entrepreneurship Research Center on G20 Economies, the team included Shao Hong, Liu Yang, Ma Hongbiao and Guan Jingyi, as well as Mu Rui and Zhao Qi. This research was funded by a grant made by Goldman Sachs Foundation for the use of Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management.

Double-Double Row Planting Mode at Deficit Irrigation Regime
agronomy Article Double-Double Row Planting Mode at Deficit Irrigation Regime Increases Winter Wheat Yield and Water Use Efficiency in North China Plain Xun Bo Zhou , Guo Yun Wang, Li Yang and Hai Yan Wu * Guangxi Key Laboratory of Agric-Environment and Agric-Products Safety, National Demonstration Center for Experimental Plant Science Education, Agricultural College of Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China; [email protected] (X.B.Z.); [email protected] (G.Y.W.); [email protected] (L.Y.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-771-3235612 Received: 18 July 2020; Accepted: 1 September 2020; Published: 3 September 2020 Abstract: Low water availability coupled with poor planting method has posed a great challenge to winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. To improve productivity and water use efficiency (WUE) under deficit irrigation, an effective water-saving technology that is characterized by three planting modes has been developed (uniform with 30-cm row spacing (U), double-double row spacing of 5 cm (DD), and furrow-ridge row spacing of alternated 20 cm and 40 cm (F)) combined with three irrigation regimes (50 mm water each at growth stage 34 (GS34) and GS48 (W1), and 100 mm water at GS48 (W2), or 100 mm each water at GS34 and GS48 (W3)). Results showed that DD increased yield by 9.7% and WUE by 12.6% due to higher soil water status and less soil water depletion and evapotranspiration compared with U. Although the soil water status, soil water depletion, evapotranspiration, and yield increased with increasing irrigation amount, more soil water depletion and evapotranspiration resulted in low WUE. -

The 6Th International Workshop on Big Data Management and Service (BDMS 2019) in Conjunction with DASFAA 2019
The 6th International Workshop on Big Data Management and Service (BDMS 2019) in conjunction with DASFAA 2019 The proliferation of new technologies such as Internet of things, social networks and cloud computing produces datasets whose volume, velocity, and variability is beyond the ability of commonly-used software tools. Efficient processing of big data creates notable research challenges and opportunities for traditional databases and infrastructure. On the other hand, computing and software are turned into commodity services by cloud computing, so it is necessary to examine Big Data as a Service (BDaaS) from both technology and business aspects. This BDMS 2019 workshop intends to bring together researchers, practitioners, and developers from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on big data management and service, such that the interactions among the experts of these areas can be promoted and new interdisciplinary technologies can be developed. The scope of the workshop includes big data management techniques such as big data modeling, analytics, and toolkits, as well as techniques and case studies for providing big data as a service. This workshop welcomes different kinds of papers that emphasize theoretical foundations, algorithms, systems, and applications for big data management and service. Submitted papers may address issues including big data theory, architecture, modeling, analytics, mining, business, toolkits, visualization, open platforms, applications. Papers of applied research, industrial experience reports,
