However, it is not 29 clear how these waters are being supplied and replenished. In particular, how 30 plausible hydrological cycles can be realized between tropical oceans and the TP. In 31 order to explore the mechanism sustaining the atmospheric “water tower” over the 32 TP， the relationship of a “heat source column” over the plateau and moist flows in 33 the Asian summer monsoon circulation is investigated, here we show that the 34 plateau’s thermal structure leads to dynamic processes with an integration of two 35 couples of lower convergences and upper divergences, respectively, over the 36 plateau’s southern slopes and main platform, which relay moist air in two ladders 37 up to the plateau.

Firstly, the atmospheric apparent heat source on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is estimated based on thermodynamic equations. The correlation between the atmospheric apparent heat source (Q1) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the air quality in China, especially in the five typical regions (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Fen-Wei Plain, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Sichuan-Chongqing regions) is analyzed and studied.

This article explores the history of radiobiology in twentieth-century China by examining the overlapping of radium research and biophysics, from roughly the 1920s Nationalist period to the 1960s Communist period; from the foreign purchase of radium by the Rockefeller Foundation’s China Medical Board during the Republican era, to the institutional establishment of radiobiology as a subset of biophysics in the People’s Republic. Western historiography of radiobiology highlights the connection between the military development of nuclear weapons and the civilian use of radiation in biology, as well as the international export of radioisotopes and nuclear reactors.

A secret mission awaited him at the battle front of the Korean \Var: The Chinese forces suspected the US had used "atomic sheils" and wanted W'ang to investigate the matter. \fang, a physicist who had gone to Berlin University to study with Hans Geiger but ended up receiving his Ph. D. with Lise Meitner at the Kaiser \Tilhelm Institute in 1933, was well-qualified for the job. With a primi- tive but effective Geiger counter, W'ang checked fragments of the suspect shells and found that there was no increase in radioactivity. He concluded that they were not mini atomic bombs, but perhaps a new type of conventional weapon.l A relatively minor incident in the Korean W'ar, it nevertheless marked a milestone toward the be ginning of an era when the Cold War and nuclear weapons increas- ingly and decisively shaped the context within which physics was practiced in the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong. A decade later, \fang emerged as a major architect of the Chinese nuclear weapons project and his whole institute and most of the leading Chinese physicists devoted themselves to it.

The story of building a scientific discipline in modern China illustrates how a science specialty evolved from an ambiguous and amorphous field into a full-fledged academic discipline in specific socio-institutional contexts. It focuses on archival sources and historical writings concerning the constitution and definition of biophysics in order to examine the relationship between particular scientific styles, national priorities, and institutional opportunities in the People's Republic of China. It argues that Chinese biophysicists exhibited a different style of conceiving and organizing their discipline by adapting to the institutional structure and political economy that had been created since 1949. The eight chapters demonstrate that biophysics as a scientific discipline flourished in China only where priorities of science were congruent with political and institutional imperatives. Initially consisting of cell biologists, the Chinese biophysics community redirected their disciplinary priorities toward rocket science in the late 1950s to accommodate the national need of the time. Biophysicists who had worked on biological sounding rockets were drawn to the military sector and continued to contribute to human spaceflight in post-Mao China.

  • China, Space, Culture and Intent Implications for US Policy
    China, Space, Culture and Intent Implications for US Policy Good afternoon! Thank you for coming. Kevin described what China is doing in space. US policy makers often ask why are they doing it, What are China’s intentions? And how should the US respond? It is hard to address these question without understanding the role of science in modern Chinese history. 1 “The accomplishments of the human space enterprise … strengthen the determination and faith of all the county’s peoples in the Chinese dream of a great renaissance of Chinese culture.” Using language that has its origins in the Chinese reform movements of the early twentieth century, Chinese president Xi Jinping recently tied China’s success in space to a renaissance of Chinese culture and civilization. 2 The idea of a renaissance implies something lost, and in China’s case it was the loss of self respect and the loss of the respect of others for Chinese culture and civilization. This occurred because China lost control of its own territory and of its ability to govern itself. Young Chinese reformers and revolutionaries struggled to recover, and fought among themselves about the best way to do it. 3 They disagreed about so many things that Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yatsen – pictured here – derisively described the Chinese body politic as “a loose sheet of sand.” But they all agreed that China fell victim to the predations of other nations because China failed to develop modern science and technology. 4 The imperial Chinese government focused on acquiring Western military technology, especially a navy.
