  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China a Disser
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 © Copyright by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The How and Why of Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China by Jonathan Stanhope Bell Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Chair China’s urban landscape has changed rapidly since political and economic reforms were first adopted at the end of the 1970s. Redevelopment of historic city centers that characterized this change has been rampant and resulted in the loss of significant historic resources. Despite these losses, substantial historic neighborhoods survive and even thrive with some degree of integrity. This dissertation identifies the multiple social, political, and economic factors that contribute to the protection and preservation of these neighborhoods by examining neighborhoods in the cities of Beijing and Pingyao as case studies. One focus of the study is capturing the perspective of residential communities on the value of their neighborhoods and their capacity and willingness to become involved in preservation decision-making. The findings indicate the presence of a complex interplay of public and private interests overlaid by changing policy and economic limitations that are creating new opportunities for public involvement. Although the Pingyao case study represents a largely intact historic city that is also a World Heritage Site, the local ii focus on tourism has disenfranchised residents in order to focus on the perceived needs of tourists.

  • Enzymes Are Nature's Catalysts, Featuring High Reactivity, Selectivity
    ************************* Report Title************************************* Dr. Yao Chen Full Professor personal State Key Laboratory of Medicinal photograph Chemical Biology College of Pharmacy Nankai University Tianjin, China 300071 Phone: 01186-18222132527 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Enzymes are nature’s catalysts, featuring high reactivity, selectivity, and specificity under mild conditions. Enzymatic catalysis has long been of great interest to chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. However, the use of enzymes for industrial applications is often handicapped by their low operational stability, difficult recovery, and lack of reusability under operational conditions. Immobilization of enzymes on solid supports can enhance enzyme stability as well as facilitate separation and recovery for reuse while maintaining activity and selectivity. As new classes of crystalline solid- state materials, porous frameworks materials (such as covalent-organic frameworks, COFs and metal-organic frameworks, MOFs) feature high surface area, tunable pore size, high stability, and easily tailored functionality, which entitle them as ideal supports for encapsulation of biomolecules to form novel composite materials for various applications. Our researches mainly focus on their biocatalysis, biomimetic and medicinal applications. This novel platform based on those biomolecule-incorporation composite materials exhibited various functionality and superior separation efficiency, biocatalytic performances and great potentials on biopharmaceutical formulations. Brief Biography Dr. Yao Chen obtained master degree from Nanjing Tech University, then obtained Ph.D degree from University of South Florida. After finished a posdoc training at UC San Diego, she moved back to China, and is now a full professor of State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology and College of Pharmacy at Nankai University. Her research interest mostly focuses on incorporating biomolecule into porous supports (e.g.

This conference will offer to our Chinese and International colleagues a unique opportunity to learn about the recent advances, exchange scientific ideas and their experiences in the nuclear medicine therapy and molecular imaging as well as molecular targeting within a wonderful environment. Nanjing is one of the oldest cities in China, dating back to the 571 years BC, and served as the capital city of several Chinese imperial dynasties. Today, Nanjing combines history, culture, tradition, and modernity. Its geographic location is strate- gic and located less than 2 hours by train from Shanghai. Its International Airport connects most international cities with direct flights, such as Tokyo and Frankfurt. Attendees and visitors may appreciate the Imperial Mausoleums, old temples, tradi- tional gardens, City Wall and many other museums in Nanjing. Nanjing is among the leading Chinese cities for life science research with 74 colleges and universities; the Nanjing University, Southeast University, China Pharmaceutical University, and Nanjing Medical University are a few examples.

  • Chapter 4 China's High-Tech Development
    CHAPTER 4 CHINA’S HIGH-TECH DEVELOPMENT SECTION 1: CHINA’S PURSUIT OF DOMINANCE IN COMPUTING, ROBOTICS, AND BIOTECHNOLOGY Key Findings • China has laid out an ambitious whole-of-government plan to achieve dominance in advanced technology. This state-led ap- proach utilizes government financing and regulations, high market access and investment barriers for foreign firms, over- seas acquisitions and talent recruitment, and, in some cases, industrial espionage to create globally competitive firms. • China’s close integration of civilian and military technology de- velopment raises concerns that technology, expertise, and intel- lectual property shared by U.S. firms with Chinese commercial partners could be transferred to China’s military. • Artificialintelligence: China—led by Baidu—is now on par with the United States in artificial intelligence due in part to robust Chinese government support, establishment of research insti- tutes in the United States, recruitment of U.S.-based talent, investment in U.S. artificial intelligence-related startups and firms, and commercial and academic partnerships. • Quantum information science: China has closed the technolog- ical gap with the United States in quantum information sci- ence—a sector the United States has long dominated—due to a concerted strategy by the Chinese government and inconsistent and unstable levels of R&D funding and limited government coordination by the United States. • High performance computing: Through multilevel government support, China now has the world’s two fastest supercomputers and is on track to surpass the United States in the next gener- ation of supercomputers—exascale computers—with an expect- ed rollout by 2020 compared to the accelerated U.S.
