The financial statements are translated and presented in RMB. The currency used in the Company‘s financial statements is RMB. (3) Business combinations (a) Common control business combination In a common control combination, assets and liabilities are transferred at book values.

The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Group‘s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the profit or loss. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of issuing equity or debt for a business combination should be included in the initial recognition of equity or debt. - 10 - CHINA METALLURGICAL GROUP CORPORATION Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2011 (All amounts in RMB Ten Thousand Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 4 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Continued) (4) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, call deposits with banks and short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement. (b) Translation of foreign currency financial statements The asset and liability items in the balance sheets for overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Among the owners‘ equity items, the items other than ―undistributed profits‖ are translated at the spot exchange rates of the transaction dates.

To take a careful study on village construction is very important for the future planning of China’s modernization. The accessibility and commuting behaviors of rural areas to a higher level of communities play an important function on the social and economic development. The influence of higher level communities to villages concerns the future redevelopment model and the industrial structure of local villages, as well as the lifestyle of local villagers. The linpan landscape is a wonderful case study because Chengdu has a relatively high population density with the scattered linpan landscape. Lots of local planners was seeking for a redevelopment planning model which can increase the accessibility of villages to outside without density 3 increase quickly, as well as to protect the valuable linpan traditional landscape. There is a contradiction between high intensity neighborhood and the traditional high density population and scattered linpan landscape.

  • Machine Learning Based Integrated Pedestrian Facilities Planning and Staff Assignment Problem in Transfer Stations
    Machine Learning based integrated pedestrian facilities planning and staff assignment problem in transfer stations Bisheng He a,b, Hongxiang Zhang a, Keyu Wen c,d, Gongyuan Lu a,b,1 a School of Transportation and Logistics, Southwest Jiaotong University P.O. Box 610031, Chengdu, China b National United Engineering Laboratory of Integrated and Intelligent Transportation P.O.

Box 610031, Chengdu, China 1 [email protected], Phone: +86 (0) 138 8060 9100 Abstract Optimizing the pedestrian facilities plan in transfer stations is the problem of adjusting the facilities on the layout of pedestrian flow route and the number of machines in service to service to meet the level of services requirements. In the practice, the operation of pedestrian facilities plan is always associated with the staff assignment. Hence, we develop a machine learning based integrated pedestrian facilities planning and staff assignment optimization model in transfer stations to schedule the pedestrian facilities plan and the staff assignment together. It aims to minimize the staff assignment cost and the deviation of working time of each employee of the station. The minimizing of the deviation gains the fairness of the assignment plan. The facilities plan is enforced by the level-of-services requirement in three performance indicators including transfer capacity, transfer average time and level- of-service. The performance indicators of facilities plans are evaluated by a simulation- based machine learning method. Based on simulation results, the random forest method fits a quantitative relationship among performance indicators of the facilities plans with operation scenario attributes and facilities plan attributes.
