The University of Chicago has become both a source of my intellectual curiosity and a ladder I had to overcome. Fortunately, I have always enjoyed great help and support throughout the challenging journey. I cannot express enough thanks to my academic advisors—Professor Bruce Cumings, Professor Prasenjit Duara, and Professor Guy Alitto—for their dedicated teaching, inspiring guidance and continued encouragement. I have also benefited immensely, during various stages of my dissertation, from the discussions with and comments from Professor Salim Yaqub, Professor James Hevia, Professor Kenneth Pomeranz, and Professor Jacob Eyferth. Professor Dali Yang of Political Sciences and Professor Dingxin Zhao of Sociology provided valuable insights and critiques after my presentation at the East Asia Workshop. My sincere thanks also goes to Professor Shen Zhihua at the East China Normal University who initiated my historical inquiry. I am deeply indebted to my friends and colleagues without whom it would not have been possible to complete this work: Stephen Halsey, Paul Mariani, Grace Chae, Suzy Wang, Scott Relyea, Limin Teh, Nianshen Song, Covell Meyskens, Ling Zhang, Taeju Kim, Chengpang Lee, Guo Quan Seng, Geng Tian, Yang Zhang, and Noriko Yamaguchi.

This paper investigates and studies the two main cities and counties in Yanbian Prefecture. The results show that there is no significant difference in root weight and root diameter between the two-year-old farmland, the three-year-old rooting heavy Wang-qing experimental site is significantly higher than other experimental sites, and the three-year-rooting-rough-dunning experimental site is significantly higher than the other three experimental sites. Position. The correlation analysis of the two-year-old soil indicators with root traits and total saponin content showed that total saponin content only showed a significant positive correlation with total phosphorus content; available phosphorus showed a significant positive correlation with root weight and root diameter; root diameter had a significant positive correlation with electrical conductivity.

    Climate Variability and Human Activities in Relation to Northeast Asian Land-Ocean Interactions and Their Implications for Coastal Management 2005-05-CMY-Adrianov Final Report submitted to APN ©Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research, 2006 Overview of project work and outcomes Summary In course of the 2-year APN-funded project, new data on estuarine and coastal changes in areas adjoining the Amur, Tumen and Razdolnaya Rivers were obtained, and recommendations for management of sustainable coastal development of the region are presented including China and Korea coastal zones. Two expeditions to Amur and Razdolnaya Rivers mouth areas were orga- nized, and hydrological regime, oceanography, environmental contamination, state of benthic and plankton comminities were investigated in connection with climatic changes. Three workshops were held: in Nanjing, China, Dec. 2004; Training Course for Young Scientists, Vladivostok, Russia, Oct. 2005; back-to-back with a science session for local policy-makers; in Vladivostok, May 2006. A website of the project was created (http://www.imb.dvo.ru/misc/apn/index.htm), and two books, Ecological Studies and State of the Ecosystem of Amursky Bay and Razdolnaya River Mouth and a collective monograph are in preparation. Two books and 19 papers in peer- reviewed journals were published and/or prepared. Future directions may include comparison of different coastal management strategies and understanding of how we can use these national strategies to develop complex management approach. Objectives The main objectives of the project were: 1. to identify estuarine and coastal changes in terms of hydrology, hydrochemistry, geo- chemistry, geomorphology, ecosystem and material cycling patterns of the Northeastern Asia region, with special reference to the Amur, Tumen and Razdolnaya Rivers; 2.

  • The International Development of China, and to Form Programs Accordingly
    THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA By Sun Yat-sen SHANGHAI Printed by the Commercial Press, Ltd. 1920 LIBRARY UNIVERFTTY OF CAUFORNT* SANTA BARBARA 4 This work is affectionately dedicated to Sir James and Lady Cantlie, My revered teacher and devoted friends, to whom I once owed my life. PREFACE As soon as Armistice was declared in the recent world war, I began to take up the study of the International Development of China, and to form programs accordingly. I was prompted to do so by the desire to contribute my humble part in the realiza- tion of world peace. China, a country possessing a territory of 4,289,000 square miles, a population of 400,000,000 people, and the richest mineral and agricultural resources in the world, is now a prey of militaristic and capitalistic powers— a greater bone of contention than the Balkan Peninsula. Unless the Chinese question could be settled peacefully, another world war greater and more terrible than the one just past will be inevitable. In order to solve the Chinese question, I suggest that the vast resources of China should be developed internationally under a socialistic scheme for the good of the world in general and the Chinese people in particular. It is my hope that as a result of this, the present spheres of influence can be abolished; the in- ternational commercial war can be done with the inter- away ; necine capitalistic competition can be got rid of, and last, but not least, the class struggle between capital and labor can be avoided. Thus the root of war will be forever exterminated so far as the case of China is concerned.
