  • Report of the Officials of the Governments of India and the Peoples’ Republic of China on the Boundary Question
    Report of the Officials of the Governments of India and the Peoples’ Republic of China on the Boundary Question (Introduction & Item I till page 40) Ministry of External, Government of India 1. The Prime Minister of India and the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China met in Delhi from the 19th of April to the 25th of April 1960 to discuss certain differences relating to the border areas which had arisen between the Government of India and the Government of the People's Republic of China. The two Prime Ministers explained fully the respective stands of the two Governments and as a result, there was a better appreciation of the points of view of the two Governments. The talks, however, did not resolve the differences that had arisen and the two Prime Ministers decided that officials of the two Governments should examine the factual materials in the possession of the two Governments in support of their stands. 2. The Joint Communiqué issued on the 25th of April 1960 at the conclusion of the talks of the Prime Ministers in Delhi embodied their decisions and served as a broad directive for the official teams who were to undertake the examination envisaged by the Prime Ministers. The Joint Communiqué inter alia stated as follows: The two Prime Ministers, therefore, agreed that officials of the .two Governments should meet and examine, check and study all historical documents, records, accounts, maps and other material relevant to the boundary question, on which each side relied in support of its stand, and draw up a report for submission to the two Governments.

  • 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.

China Tel.: +86-771-5875207; Fax: +86-771-5865594 [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, use Nanning city as an example to show application of Background information database in drought monitoring. A near-real time drought monitoring approach is developed using Terra-Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectoradiometer (MODIS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) products. The approach is called Vegetation Temperature Condition Index (VTCI), which integrates land surface reflectance and thermal properties. VTCI is defined as the ratio of LST differ- ences among pixels with a specific NDVI value in a sufficiently large study area; The ground-measured precipitation data from a study area covering Nan- ning in Guangxi , CHINA, are used to validate the drought monitoring ap- proach. Taking the result of drought monitoring in background information of Nanning city ,the area of farmland drought of Mild drought Moderate droughts Severe drought were 223607.2 Ha ,310596.9 Ha and 513.2 Ha. Keywords: Background Information Database, Drought Monitoring, MODIS, Guangxi. 1 Introduction Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of climate. It occurs almost everywhere, although its features vary from region to region. Drought is one of the major envi- ronmental disasters in China, whereas in recent years it have happened in mid and southern of china seriously, so it is very important to detect and monitor drought peri- odically at large scale for decision making.

  • Understanding Chinese Jade in a World Context
    Journal of the British Academy, 6, 1–63. DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/006.001 Posted 05 March 2018. © The British Academy 2018 Understanding Chinese jade in a world context Elsley Zeitlyn Lecture on Chinese Archaeology and Culture read 2 February 2017 GINA L. BARNES SOAS, University of London Abstract: For millennia, jade has been valued in many cultures in Chinese archaeology. The favoured types and sources of jade have changed over time, as has our knowledge of the stones themselves. One of the greatest problems in dealing with archaeological jades is the correct identification of the stones in order to trace their source and thereby understand the social relations underlying their patterns of procurement, pro­ duction, and consumption. This paper examines the problems of identification and sourcing of Chinese archaeological jades from a worldwide point of view, dissecting terminological problems arising from mineralogy and rock geochemistry, and expli­ citly identifying the geological constraints on the formation of nephrite and jadeite. In particular, the role of plate tectonics in determining the occurrence of jade provides an overarching perspective on where in China jade sources might occur and how nephrite might be mined and distributed, together with its associated rocks and minerals. The latter associations are equally important to this jade sourcing endeavour. Keywords: jade, geochemistry, mineralogy, plate tectonics, nephrite, jadeite, Chinese archaeology INTRODUCTION The first problem encountered in discussing ‘jade’ is defining what we mean by this term. It is commonly used to translate the Chinese word yu (玉), traditionally desig­ nating ‘beautiful stones’ worthy of fashioning into ritual objects and personal ornaments.

Taken one of the rising national strategies of Xijiang river basin as the study area, we first established the sustainable utilization index system of water resources assessment. Then, the analytic hierarchy process was applied to calculate the index weights. And the composite index method was applied to evaluate the sustainability of water resources of the study area from 2010 to 2014. The results indicated that Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin and Fangchenggang four cities had higher level of sustainability. Qinzhou and Chongzuo city were in the status of unsustainable. The Guangxi Xijiang river basin was in the status of sustainable level in the last five years. The degree of sustainable utilization fluctuated during the years, with the score went up to 43.26 from 2010 to 2013 and then declined to 39.75 at 2014. Introduction The problem of water resources, which China is confronted with, is one of the most important problems in the 21st century [1].
