Beijing will take the lead in driving the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province, creating a capital-centred world-class city cluster. »» Spatial»Layout An urban spatial structure featuring "one core, one centre, one sub-centre, two axes, multiple points and one area." One Core: the capital's core functional area. The functional area has a total area of about 92.5 square kilometres (sq.km). One Centre: central urban area. The central urban area includes six downtown districts, namely Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai and Shijingshan, covering a total area of about 1,378 sq.km. One Sub-centre: Beijing's urban sub-centre. The planning scope of Beijing's urban sub-centre covers originally Tongzhou New Town with a total area of 155 sq.km. Two Axes: the Central Axis and its extensions, Chang'an Avenue and its extensions. The Central Axis and its extensions refer to the traditional Central Axis and its southern and northern extensions. The traditional Central Axis starts from Yongding Gate in the south and the Bell 8 Beijing Foreign Investment Guide 2019-2020 and Drum Towers in the north, spanning for about 7.8 kilometres (km). Its northern extension can reach the Yanshan Mountains and the southern extension to Beijing's new airport (Daxing International Airport) and the Yongding River. Centred on the Tiananmen Square, the Chang'an Avenue extends eastwards and westwards respectively. Of them, the section between Fuxing Gate and Jianguo Gate is about 7 km long. It extends westwards to Shougang area, Yongding River and the Western Hills, and eastwards to Beijing's urban sub-centre, the North Canal and the Chaobai River. Multiple Points: five new towns in the plains. They refer to Shunyi, Daxing, Yizhuang, Changping and Fangshan new towns, which are designated to carry out the functions of the central urban area and for dispersing population. These new towns serve as important areas to promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province. One Area: ecological conservation area. The ecological conservation area refers to the mountainous regions of Mentougou, Pinggu, Huairou, Miyun, Yanqing and Changping districts. It constitutes the ecological conservation area in the middle, west and north of the Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei Province regions, and is Beijing's "oxygen bar" and key to the capital's sustainable development. 9 A●BEIJING PROFILE Sketch Map of Beijing's Planned Layout 10 Beijing Foreign Investment Guide 2019-2020 Sketch Map of Beijing as China's Cultural Centre 11 A●BEIJING PROFILE Sketch Map of Beijing as China's Scientific and Technological Innovation Centre 12 Beijing Foreign Investment Guide 2019-2020 Sketch Map of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region 13 A●BEIJING PROFILE Infrastructure »» External»Transport Beijing is China's aviation and railway transport centre, with an advanced external transport network involving railways, air routes and highways.

    Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?

    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.

The paper discusses the coherence; vernacular placemaking problems created by tall buildings, and architecture; innovative simultaneously attempts to harness the potential of tall design. buildings to enhance placemaking. The research contends that instead of contributing to the problem of placelessness, well-designed tall buildings can rejuvenate cities, ignite economic activity, support social life and boost city pride through the science, engineering and craftsmanship embodied in these buildings. Although this study does not claim to possess all the solutions to these matters, it does propose 10 design and planning guidelines that can help to promote placemaking through tall buildings.

Abstract Cemetery is the place for institutionalised burial practice. Although burial land is of special meaning and importance to people, both the dead and the living, yet cemetery planning has long been ignored. The cemeteries capacity may be not enough to meet the increasing demand due to the fast increase of population, and the indiscriminate placing of cemetery sites arise many conflicts between burial land and other kind of land use because of its particular characteristic.

    Conservation Recommendations for Oryza Rufipogon Griff. in China

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Conservation recommendations for Oryza rufpogon Grif. in China based on genetic diversity analysis Junrui Wang1,6, Jinxia Shi2,6, Sha Liu1, Xiping Sun3, Juan Huang1,4, Weihua Qiao1,5, Yunlian Cheng1, Lifang Zhang1, Xiaoming Zheng1,5* & Qingwen Yang1,5* Over the past 30 years, human disturbance and habitat fragmentation have severely endangered the survival of common wild rice (Oryza rufpogon Grif.) in China. A better understanding of the genetic structure of O. rufpogon populations will therefore be useful for the development of conservation strategies. We examined the diversity and genetic structure of natural O. rufpogon populations at the national, provincial, and local levels using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Twenty representative populations from sites across China showed high levels of genetic variability, and approximately 44% of the total genetic variation was among populations. At the local level, we studied fourteen populations in Guangxi Province and four populations in Jiangxi Province. Populations from similar ecosystems showed less genetic diferentiation, and local environmental conditions rather than geographic distance appeared to have infuenced gene fow during population genetic evolution. We identifed a triangular area, including northern Hainan, southern Guangdong, and southwestern Guangxi, as the genetic diversity center of O. rufpogon in China, and we proposed that this area should be given priority during the development of ex situ and in situ conservation strategies. Populations from less common ecosystem types should also be given priority for in situ conservation. Common wild rice (Oryza rufpogon Grif.) is the putative progenitor of Asian cultivated rice, one of the most important food crops in the world.
