Although widely used, supervised classification mapping requires a large number of field samples, and is consequently costly in terms of time and money. In order to reduce the need for sample size, this paper proposes an unsupervised classification method based on principal components isometric binning (PCIB). In particular, principal component analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction is applied to the classification features, followed by the division of the top k principal components into equidistant bins.

We particularly appeal to the international communities and request investigation of this systematic, ongoing, egregious violation of human rights committed by the Government of the People’s Republic of China against Falun Gong. Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual practice that includes exercise and meditation. Its principles are based on the values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The practice began in China in 1992 and quickly spread throughout China and then beyond. By the end of 1998, by the Chinese government's own estimate, there were 70 - 100 million people in China who had taken up the practice, outnumbering Communist Party member. Despite the fact that it was good for the people and for the stability of the country, former President JIANG Zemin launched in July 1999 an unprecedented persecution of Faun Gong out of fears of losing control. Today the persecution of Falun Gong still continues in China. As of the end of March 2004, 918 Falun Gong practitioners have been confirmed to die from persecution.

  • Environmental Issues in China's Northeast
    Environmental Issues in China’s Northeast By Sian Eiles, July 2014 Chinese environmental issues tend to centre around three particular issues: air pollution, water resources and desertification/ soil erosion. Air and water pollution are the most serious environmental problems in NE China Air pollution Air pollution is largely a result of China’s rapid period of industrialisation since the death of Mao and the economic reform era ushered in by his successor Deng Xiaoping. This has led to a growth in demand for power and in China this has been provided largely by coal, which has been the mainstay of electrical power generation as well as household energy for many years. Chinese domestic coal production is covered in another paper, but it is important to note the peculiarities of Chinese coal: which is that it is unusually ‘dirty’, particularly in the level of particulates it is likely to produce, along with a high sulphur content. Although the north east has seen a loss of industry since the beginning of the reform era the pollution problem still remains. In the south and the eastern coastal areas there been, over the past two decades, a movement away from ‘heavy’ industries such as steel smelting and car production. These are less energy intensive and have helped reduce pollution levels to some degree (although these areas now produce a lot of pollution via cars due to the increased wealth and increased demand for electricity, which is largely still coal fired). There is also a clear argument that pollution is an inevitable component of the development process, and that pollution levels reduce as economic wealth is more established.
