It has created “Ningguo Miracle” since 1990s. Its general economic capacity has been ranked #1 (the first) among all the counties or cities in Anhui Province since 2000. In order to analyze the influencing factors of competitive advantages of Ningguo City and explain “Ningguo Miracle”, this article have evaluated, analyzed and classified the general economic competitiveness of 61 counties (cities) in Anhui Province in 2004, by 14 indexes of evaluation index system. The result showed that compared with other counties (cities) in Anhui Province, Ningguo City has more advantages in competition. The competitive advantage of Ningguo City is due to the productivities, the effect of the second industry and industry, and the investment of fixed assets. Then the influencing factors of Ningguo’s competitiveness in terms of productivity were analyzed with authoritative data since 1990 and a log linear regression model was established by stepwise regression method. The results demonstrated that the key influencing factor of Ningguo City’s competitive advantage was the change of industry structure, especially the change of manufacture structure.

  • Analysis of Multiple Cyanobacteria in Chaohu Lake Xuan Hu
    International Symposium on Social Science (ISSS 2015) Analysis of Multiple Cyanobacteria in Chaohu Lake Xuan Hu School of Electrical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China [email protected] Keywords: Chaohu Lake; algae; Cyanobacteria bloom; Eutrophication. Abstract. Cyanobacteria are the most simple and most primitive algae, which bloom in some serious eutrophicative lake. When they form a layer of blue-green bubbles which smell, they are called water blooms. The most typical lakes in China where the cyanobacterial blooms break out are Taihu Lake and Chao Lake. Of the "three rivers and three lakes" which are famous for water pollution, the Chaohu Lake area is the key area for water pollution control. This paper collects relevant data of the amount of algae and the area of water bloom in Chaohu Lake, summarizes the research on the outbreak of algae bloom in the lake, and puts forward feasible suggestions for dealing with cyanobacterial bloom in the lake. 1. Introduction Chaohu is located in the southeast of Anhui Province, is one of China's five major freshwater. The area of the lake is 752km2, the annual rainfall is 1100mm. Chaohu Lake Basin belongs to the subtropical and warm temperate transition of the subtropical monsoon climate zone, climate mild and humid, moderate rainfall, humidity, monsoon climate significantly. Chaohu Lake is known as "Yumizhixiang" reputation, rich in grain, oil, cotton, hemp, vegetables and fruit crops, depending on the lake and textile, food and other pillar industries. In twentieth Century 50 's, Chaohu water quality is fine, the mineralization degree is extremely low, the acid base is moderate, the aquatic plants flourish, the biodiversity is rich.

  • 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.

  • Mercury Accumulation in Vegetable Houttuynia Cordata Thunb. from Two
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mercury accumulation in vegetable Houttuynia cordata Thunb. from two diferent geological areas in southwest China and implications for human consumption Qingfeng Wang1,2*, Zhonggen Li1,2, Xinbin Feng2, Ao Wang4, Xinyu Li2,3, Dan Wang1 & Leilei Fan1 Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (HCT) is a common vegetable native to southwest China, and grown for consumption. The results suggested that THg contents in all parts and MeHg in underground parts of HCT in Hg mining areas were much higher than those in non-Hg mining areas. The highest THg and MeHg content of HCT were found in the roots, followed by the other tissues in the sequence: roots > leaves > rhizomes > aboveground stems (THg), and roots > rhizomes > aboveground stems > leaves (MeHg). The average THg bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of HCT root in the Hg mining area and in non-Hg mining areas could reach 1.02 ± 0.71 and 0.99 ± 0.71 respectively, indicating that HCT is a Hg accumulator. And the THg and MeHg contents in all tissues of HCT, including the leaves, were signifcantly correlated with THg and MeHg content in the soil. Additionally, preferred dietary habits of HCT consumption could directly afect the Hg exposure risk. Consuming the aboveground parts (CAP) of HCT potentially poses a high THg exposure risk and consuming the underground parts (CUP) may lead to a relatively high MeHg exposure risk. Only consuming the rhizomes (OCR) of the underground parts could signifcantly reduce the exposure risk of THg and to some extent of MeHg. In summary, HCT should not be cultivated near the Hg contaminated sites, such as Hg tailings, as it is associated with a greater risk of Hg exposure and high root Hg levels, and the roots should be removed before consumption to reduce the Hg risk.
