The tasks for this project consist of two parts: (1) Collection of various information relating to mercury in China, including policy and legal standards, science research documents, statistics, publications, etc. (2) Analysis and estimation of data for industries mercury use (including discharges of mercury into the environment from “intentional” and “unintentional” use) and the environment (i.e. air, water, soil and biology) for China, according to the categorization in the report of “Global Mercury Assessment” by UNEP. All materials and data were synthesized into three appendices: Appendix 1: Industries intentionally using mercury; Appendix 2: Industries/activities unintentionally using mercury; Appendix 3: mercury in different environmental media. All mercury emission sources listed in GMA can be found in China to some extent. Among them, there are over 10 industries that intentionally use mercury during their production process, and 4 industries/activities that emit mercury unintentionally. The analysis and evaluation of this report categorizes mercury-related industries into three groups, namely “good”, “medium” and “bad”, according to the amount of available and credible information these industries possess regarding mercury use. Comprehensive basic information is available for industries of the “good” category, including the background for these industries, statistics for consecutive years, and other more sufficient and reliable information. The industries in the “good” category include PVC, battery, thermometer and sphygmomanometer producers. For industries/activities assigned the “medium” category, the industries possess some information related to their mercury use, but the integrity and continuity of this information is of lower quality. These industries include florescent light and reagent producers, and coal burning activity. No information is available for industries in the “bad” category. These industries include automobile, electric switches, cement producers and metallurgical plants. Different environmental media can also be categorized into “good”, “medium” and “bad”, according to the amount of available and credible information. For 3 media such as water, which is categorized as “good”, sufficient background and historical data from routine monitoring have been accumulated. With relatively more literature, scientists can make scientific evaluations on the regional and national levels. For media such as air, which is categorized as “medium”, neither background nor historical data from routine monitoring have been accumulated. Yet, with relatively more literature, scientists can make partial scientific evaluations on the regional and national levels. For media such as soil and living organisms, which is categorized as“bad”, there are neither background nor historical data from routine monitoring. Although there is some relevant academic literature, it is not sufficient for making scientific evaluations on the regional and national levels. The data show that, in China, mercury-related information varies rapidly and significately, especially in the intentional use; weaknesses and inconsistencies in the fundamental data collected; and, mercury consumption is influenced deeply by the policy and management. On the base of analysis, it is suggested before carrying out any plans/actions for making release lists or deductions on essential limitations or restrictions, detailed investigations on the historical development, current status and prospects for mercury must be carried out, and the methods for investigation must be harmonized. 4 Preface Mercury is confirmed as a global pollutant. It draws close attention from the public, scientists, governments and international organizations. UNEP completed the Global Mercury Assessment at the end of 2002. In February 2005, UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum passed the international action plans for mercury. China’s consumption and release of mercury not only affects the health of its people and eco-environment, but also has deep impacts globally. China’s Sate Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) and US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) initially started cooperating in this area with the objective to summarize and analyze China’s mercury situation. This report was completed by the Chemical Registration Center of the SEPA of China, with the support of the Pollution Control Department and Foreign Affairs Office of SEPA. From October 2004 to April 2005, all public information concerning mercury in China was collected, including various policies, regulations and standard; scientific research literature; statistics, and other publications. According to “Global Mercury Assessment” (GMA), mercury discharge sources are divided into: mercury release resulting from intentional and unintentional use; and the key environmental elements are divded into four parts: air, water, soil and living organisms.All data are analyzed and assessed separately. 5 China Mercury-related Information Analysis Report 1 Industries consuming mercury for “intentional use” 1.1 Industrie s with detailed information Basic information for industries consuming mercury is either relatively complete or easy to acquire; mercury utilization techniques and discharge approaches are already well known; and policies, legal standards and laws have been enacted and are well supported. On the other hand, there have been actions and measures taken in the form of policies and legal standards to restrict the mercury use or render it obsolete. The PVC Industry Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) constitutes a vital part of China’s manufacturing economy. The demand for PVC in China is high and is predicted to continue at an increasingly rapid rate. The Chinese PVC industry has its own guild with approximately 100 members.

  • The Characteristics of Bribe-Taking by Chinese High-Level Officials
    Chinese Business Review, July-Sep. 2019, Vol. 18, No. 3, 1-9 doi: 10.17265/1537-1506/2019.03.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Characteristics of Bribe-Taking by Chinese High-Level Officials Huaiyuan Han, Lotfi Hamzi, Edgar Bellow NEOMA Business School, Reims, France The purpose of this paper is to analyze in detail the characteristics of bribe-taking by provincial and ministerial or senior-level officials. In this paper, we analyze the data concerning all provincial and ministerial level officials convicted of bribe-taking apart from army generals. We identify 110 cases between 1987 and the end of 2015, of which 76 cases involved bribery alone and the rest also involved other crimes. The achievements of China’s economic reforms and opening-up over the last 40 years are obvious to all, but they have encouraged significant problems of corruption by senior party and government officials. Between 1987 and 2015 the number of officials convicted of corruption grew significantly and, sentences became more severe. Since 1987, the amount of bribery has increased steadily and the time span of corruption has increased. Corrupt officials mostly use traditional kinds of exchange of interests, and corruption in China has spread into every part of society. China still has a long way to go if it is to win the fight against corruption. Keywords: China, corruption, power, self-interest Introduction China is undergoing unprecedented change, which requires us to advance our understanding of this country constantly. To understand China well, it is necessary to investigate not only the factors that will promote its further economic development, but also those that could hinder its social progress.

  • Li-Ion Polymer Batteries
    CM0256 Pervasive Computing Lecture 8 – Power Sources Tom Goodale [email protected] Lecture Outline In this lecture we: Examine power sources for mobile devices What power sources are there ? What are their characteristics ? What are their limitations ? Power Sources Mechanical e.g. clockwork Electrical mains power solar power batteries fuel cell Radiation ? Batteries A battery is a device to store energy and make it available in electrical form. Electricity is produced by a chemical reaction, producing electricity, and some by-products, such as heat or gases. In rechargable batteries this chemical reaction is reversible. Battery Arrangements Strictly, an electrical “battery” is an interconnected array of one or more similar “cells”. In current English usage, however, it is more common to call a single cell used on its own a battery than a cell. For example, a hand lamp (flashlight) (torch) is said to take one or more "batteries" even though they may be D cells. A car battery is a true "battery" because it uses multiple cells. Multiple batteries or cells may also be refered to as a battery pack, such as a set of multi-cell 12 V batteries in an electric vehicle. Battery Arrangements In almost any device that uses batteries, you do not use just one cell at a time. You normally group them together serially to form higher voltages, or in parallel to form higher currents. In a serial arrangement, the voltages add up. In a parallel arrangement, the currents add up. The upper arrangement is called a parallel arrangement. If you assume that each cell produces 1.5 volts, then four batteries in parallel will also produce 1.5 volts, but the current supplied will be four times that of a single cell.

In this article, we do a research on the chiral shift process of the isolated alpha alanine molecule using the basis set of 6-31+g(d,p), which is based on density functional theory B3LYP. Furthermore, the chiral transition path reaction potential en- ergy surface of ibuprofen molecule is drawn by looking for the extreme value point structure including the transition state and intermediate. Finally, the geometry and electronic structure properties of extreme value point are also analyzed. The results show that there are two achieve reaction paths of ibuprofen from S-type to R-type. Path 1 consists of three transition states and two intermediate states. Path 2 includes four transition states and three intermediate states. On the reaction path, the greatest barrier which is from the transfer of hydrogen in chiral carbon to oxygen in carboxyl, is 73.54 Kcal/mol. The research provides a theoretical reference to further realize some important application value over the chiral transition reaction control of point chiral molecule.
