In this study we use a Nd isotope combination of bulk sediment geochemistry, Nd and Sr isotope geochemistry, and single grain zircon U-Pb Erosion dating to understand the source of sediment in the modern drainage. We also performed zircon U-Pb dating on Provenance Eocene sedimentary rocks sampled by International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 349 in order to Pearl River constrain the source of sediment to the rift before the Oligocene. -

Total-Factor Water Efficiency of Regions in China Jin-Li Hu,* Shih-Chuan Wang, and Fang-Yu Yeh Institute of Business and Management, National Chiao Tung University
Revised and Replied for Resources Policy (SSCI) Total-Factor Water Efficiency of Regions in China Jin-Li Hu,* Shih-Chuan Wang, and Fang-Yu Yeh Institute of Business and Management, National Chiao Tung University Abstract. Water is a limited and unbalanced distributed resource in China, with the per capita amount of water resource there is only about one-fourth of the world's average. However, water is an essential resource for people’s lives and economic development. Over the past two decades China has seen the fruit of its rapid economic growth, nevertheless, a severe water shortage is behind this prosperous scenario and is becoming worse. Efficient water supply is certainly essential for the sustainable development of human beings. This paper analyzes water efficiency by incorporating water as an input as well as using conventional inputs such as labor employment and capital stock. An index of a water adjustment target ratio (WATR) is established from the production frontier constructed by data envelopment analysis (DEA) including water as an input. The water efficiency of regions is obtained from a total-factor framework with both residential and productive water use. A U-shape relation is discovered between the total-factor water efficiency and per capita real income among areas in China. The central area has the worst water efficiency ranking and the total adjustment amount of water use there is around three-fourth of China’s total. More efficient production processes and advanced technologies need to be adopted in the central area in order to improve its water efficiency, especially for its productive use of water. -

Early African America: Archaeological Studies of Significance and Diversity
J Archaeol Res (2011) 19:1–49 DOI 10.1007/s10814-010-9042-x Early African America: Archaeological Studies of Significance and Diversity Christopher C. Fennell Published online: 15 July 2010 Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010 Abstract This article examines archaeological studies of the cultural heritage and social dynamics of African descendant populations in the United States and Canada from AD 1400 through 1865. European colonial enterprises expanded in Africa and the Americas during that time span, effecting an accompanying movement of free and captive Africans into North America. Archaeological investigations of early African America are remarkable for the diversity of analytic scales and research questions pursued. This diversity of research efforts has yielded a highly productive, interdisciplinary expansion of knowledge concerning African diaspora histories. Keywords African-American archaeology Á Slavery Á Resistance Á Cultural heritage Introduction Archaeological research of African descendant populations in North America has expanded dramatically in scope and diversity over the past several decades. In addition to exchanging information, theories, and data through published venues, researchers working on African-American archaeology and the African diaspora have collaborated through resources such as the African Diaspora Archaeology Network (ADAN). The field promises even greater future advances in compiled data, detailed contextual interpretations, and comparative analyses. We can anticipate an increasing emphasis on comparative and synthetic studies based on an expanding field of research in the areas within North, Central, and South America, the Caribbean, and the regions of Africa impacted by the trans-Atlantic C.

MORSE2 1Department of Entomology, Nanjing Agricultural University, Jiangsu, 210095, China 2School of Agricultural, Forest & Environmental Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson, SC, 29634-0310, USA 3Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Currently, 21 species of the genus Plectrocnemia are known from China. Examination of material collected from 13 provinces of China from 1990–2005 has revealed 9 new species and 3 new records of this genus, bringing the number of Chinese Plectrocnemia species to 33. Newly described species include: P. monacanthus sp. nov., P. huangi sp. nov., P. maoerensis sp. nov., P. pectinata sp. nov., P. fanjingensis sp. nov., P. platilobus sp. nov., P. paragryphalis sp. nov., P. bifoliolata sp. nov., and P. wuyiensis sp. nov. Two species, Plectrocnemia sinualis Wang & Yang and P. uncata Wang & Yang are synonymized with P. tsukuiensis (Kobayashi) and P. to rto sa Banks, respectively. Plectrocnemia jonam (Malicky), P. ondakeana Tsuda and P. salah Malicky are newly recorded for the Chinese fauna. All species are organized by monophyletic species groups; the diagnostic characters for the species groups are discussed. Key words: new species, new records, new synonyms, species groups. Introduction Ninety-two extant species and 24 fossil species of the genus Plectrocnemia Stephens (1836) are currently known from the world, of which 40 extant species occur in the Oriental Region (OL), 21 in the Eastern Palearctic Region (EP), 23 in the Western Palearctic Region (WP), and 8 in the Australasian Region (AU) (Morse, 2011). -
