  • Cynomorium Songaricum May Protect Against Spermatogenic Damage Caused by Cyclophosphamide in SD Rats
    Revista Română de Medicină de Laborator Vol. 27, Nr. 3, Iulie, 2019 291 Research article DOI:10.2478/rrlm-2019-0031 Cynomorium Songaricum may protect against spermatogenic damage caused by cyclophosphamide in SD rats Xiaoxiao Han1#, Rongsheng Zhou2#, Wei Zheng3#, Xitao Wang2,4, Shuyan Mao5, Zhenbei Li6, Lin Hao2, Zhenduo Shi2, Bo Chen2, Zhiguo Zhang2, Yijuan Cao6, Dianjun Yu7, Kun Pang2,8* , Conghui Han2,8* 1.

  • US Counter Notification of China Subsidy Programs Submitted to The
    WORLD TRADE G/SCM/Q2/CHN/42 11 October 2011 ORGANIZATION (11-4946) Committee on Subsidies Original: English and Countervailing Measures SUBSIDIES Request from the UNITED STATES to CHINA Pursuant to Article 25.10 of the Agreement The following communication, dated 6 October 2011, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of the United States. _______________ The United States notes that China has only submitted one notification of subsidies under Article XVI:1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (the GATT 1994) and Article 25.2 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (the Agreement) in its ten years of WTO membership. China submitted that notification (G/SCM/N/123/CHN) in 2006, covering the time period from 2001 to 2004. At that time, the United States and several other Members expressed serious concerns about the incompleteness of China's notification. Since 2006, the United States and several other Members have repeatedly requested that China submit its notifications for the periods subsequent to 2004. The United States has obtained information concerning numerous Chinese central government and sub-central government measures, listed below, covering the time period from 2004 to the present that were not included in China's single notification. The United States considers that these measures should be subject to notification to the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (the Committee) under Article XVI:1 of the GATT 1994 and Article 25.2 of the Agreement because they appear to provide specific subsidies within the meaning of Articles 1.1 and 2 of the Agreement.

But China remains one of the top investment hotspots in the world, despite ongoing trade and other disputes the country faces. While it is true that companies and countries are relocating or building up additional supply chains to lessen their dependence on China, it is also a fact that no other country has the industrial capacity, growing middle class and growth potential. The Chinese market attracts the most foreign direct investment and it well may do so for many years to come, given the large untapped markets in the central and western part of the country. Earlier this year, Premier Li Keqiang mentioned that there are 600 million Chinese citizens living with RMB 1,000 of monthly disposable income. While this may sounds surprising, it also shows the potential that Chinese inner regions have for the future. Investing in China and selling to the Chinese consumers is something that makes sense for companies from around the world. The development zones listed in this directory are here to support and help foreign investors to deal with the unique challenges in the Chinese market.

    Boise State University ScholarWorks Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations Department of Anthropology Summer 2017 Early “Neolithics” of China: Variation and Evolutionary Implications Shengqian Chen Renmin University of China Pei-Lin Yu Boise State University This document was originally published by University of Chicago Press in Journal of Anthropological Research. Copyright restrictions may apply. doi: 10.1086/692104 Early “Neolithics” of China: Variation and Evolutionary Implications SHENGQIAN CHEN, School of History, Renmin University of China, Beijing 100872 PEI-LIN YU, Department of Anthropology, Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725, USA. Email: [email protected] The growth and significance of scientific research into the origins of agriculture in China calls for fresh examination at scales large enough to facilitate explanation of cultural evolutionary processes. The Paleolithic to Neolithic transition (PNT) is not yet well-understood because most archaeo- logical research on early agriculture cites data from the more conspicuous and common early Neo- lithic sites. In this, the first of two papers, we synthesize a broad range of early Neolithic archae- ological data, including diagnostic artifacts, settlement patterns, site structure, and biological remains, to consider agriculture as a system-level adaptive phenomenon. Although farming by this period was already well-established in much of North China and the middle Yangtze River basin, echoes of the foraging past can be found in the persistence of hunting-related artifacts in North China’s Loess Plateau and aquatic-based intensification and vegeculture in South China. Our analysis of the growing body of Chinese data and projections using Binford’s hunting and gathering database indicate that agriculture was differentially developed, adopted, or resisted by foragers according to measurable, predictable initial conditions of habitat that influenced diet breadth.

  • Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta
    The Frontiers of Society, Science and Technology ISSN 2616-7433 Vol. 3, Issue 1: 23-35, DOI: 10.25236/FSST.2021.030106 Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta Yuxin Chen, Yuegang Chen Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China Abstract: The city cluster in Yangtze River Delta is the core area of China's modernization and economic development. The industry of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) in this area is relatively developed, and the distribution and spatial pattern of Minshuku will also get much attention. Earlier literature tried more to explore the influence of individual characteristics of Minshuku (such as the design style of Minshuku, etc.) on Minshuku. However, the development of Minshuku has a cluster effect, and the distribution of domestic B&Bs is very unbalanced. Analyzing the differences in the distribution of Minshuku and their causes can help the development of the backward areas and maintain the advantages of the developed areas in the industry of Minshuku. This article finds that the distribution of Minshuku is clustered in certain areas by presenting the overall spatial distribution of Minshuku and cultural attractions in Yangtze River Delta and the respective distribution of 27 cities. For example, Minshuku in the central and eastern parts of Yangtze River Delta are more concentrated, so are the scenic spots in these areas. There are also several concentrated Minshuku areas in other parts of Yangtze River Delta, but the number is significantly less than that of the central and eastern regions. Keywords: Minshuku, Yangtze River Delta, Spatial distribution, Concentrated distribution 1.

This paper discusses the relationship between the main building structures, infill elements, and space through examples in ancient China. It then describes the roles of owners, users, and craftsmen via examples from historical records. In studying these examples, this paper concludes that the craftsmen in ancient China are not merely involved in the period of construction but also in the whole period of use. Thus, the relationship between craftsmen and owners or users can continue for generations in some cases.

Accepted 3 February, 2012 Fourteen symbiotic isolates were obtained from root nodules of Casuarina equisetifolia and Casuarina cunninghamiana in Zhejiang, China. All isolates exhibited typical Frankia morphological characteristics, including filamentous hyphae, vesicles, and multilocular sporangia borne terminally or in an intercalary position. Combined with 16S rDNA sequence alignment results, all isolates were identified as Frankia spp. 4 isolates belonged to the physical Group A, 7 to Group B, and 3 to Group AB. The strains demonstrated varied nitrogenase activities, with the ZCN192 strain being the highest (2.897 μmol·mg-1h-1) and ZCN199 the lowest (0.056 μmol·mg-1h-1). After in vivo inoculation, all strains significantly increased seedling height, basal diameter, and dry biomass of Casuarina spp. Generally, strains with higher nitrogenase activities exhibited more effective nitrogen fixation in vivo.
