General description of project activity A.1. Title of the project activity: Yunnan Mengjiahe Kachang Muwen Hydro Power Station Ver. 0.2 Apr. 03, 2007 A.2. Description of the project activity: Summary: The proposed project activity is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Mengjia River, in Kachang Town, Yingjiang County, Dehong Dai-Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The project is a run-of-river diversion type hydropower station with a low dam. The installed capacity is 40MW. On the average, the project activity is expected to operate during 5,000hours per year, which corresponds to an average annual generation of 200,000MWh and a net electricity supply to the grid of 142,180MWh. The power generated in the station will be transmitted to the Mengjia transformer substation, and then to the Yunnan Grid and, finally, to the Southern Grid. Contribution to sustainable development: The project activity contributes significantly to the region’s sustainable development in the following ways: - In recent years, China has witnessed a huge increase in power consumption. Both public and private parties are struggling to meet the demand for electricity. The proposed hydropower project will contribute in a sustainable manner to bridging the gap between supply and demand of power on a regional and national level. - In China, more than 80% of total electricity production is derived from coal based power plants. Being so heavily dependant on coal for its energy requirements, this project carries environmental benefits for the country’s air, soil and water sources. The project activity will displace the generation of fossil fuel power plants, reducing CO2, SOx and NOx emissions significantly, thus mitigating the air pollution and its adverse impacts on human health. The project activity promotes the growth of sustainable and renewable capacity in China and makes it less dependent on exhaustible and polluting fossil fuels. - The project will definitely contribute to the province’s economic development by improving the local energy generation infra-structure and generating employment during both the construction and the operation of the power plant. The proposed hydropower project is grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources, which will be supplied to the Southern Grid and will replace electricity generated by thermal power plants, which are predominant in the Southern Grid. This will reduce anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. A.3. Project participants: This template shall not be altered.

Monitoring methodology: Approved consolidated monitoring methodology ACM0002 (Version 6): “Consolidated monitoring methodology for zero-emissions grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources”. Reference: UNFCCC website: http://cdm.unfccc.int/methodologies/PAmethodologies/approved.html B.2. Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project activity: This project satisfies ACM0002 methodology applicable conditions, that is: 1 The project is a capacity addition from a renewable energy source, i.e. water resource. The electricity capacity addition is from a run-of-river hydropower station; 2 The proposed project activity does not involve renewable fuel switching from fossil fuels; 3 The geographic and system boundaries for the relevant electricity grid can be clearly identified (the Southern Grid) and information on the characteristics of the grid is available. B.3. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary: According to the definition of project boundary by ACM0002, the project boundary includes the project site (the physical site of the project plant) and the electricity system that the project is connected to. In this specific case, the station is connected to the Yunnan grid and, finally, to the Southern Grid. The Southern grid is a larger regional grid, which consists of four sub-grids: Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. According to the guidance given above, and considering the substantial inter grid power exchange throughout the Southern Grid, it is justifiable to identify the Southern Grid as the correct project boundary for this specific project.

    Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China

    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

Although mango is an economically important fruit tree, its genetic resources are still undocumented and are threatened in their natural habits. In this study, the variability of 452 mango accessions from three regions in China (Nujiang, Lancang river and Honghe) was assessed using 41 descriptors including qualitative and quantitative traits, with the aim to identify mango accessions with excellent agronomic and quality traits. To this end, descriptive and multivariate analyses were performed. Based on Shannon–Weaver diversity index, qualitative traits including pericarp color, fruit aroma, flesh color, and fruit flavor recorded the highest variability in the germplasm. Fruit related traits including pulp weight, peel weight, and fruit weight were the most diverse traits in the germplasm with a high coefficient of variation (CV > 40%). Significant differences (MANOVA test, p < 0.000) were observed among the three regions for most of the quantitative traits.

Johnson 马艾华 SIL International 世界少数民族语文研究院 East Asia Group 东亚部 2008 Eric C. Johnson and Susanne J. Johnson The Southern Zhuang Languages of Yunnan Province’s Wenshan Prefecture from a Sociolinguistic Perspective Abstract Although the majority of China’s 16 million Zhuang nationality people live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, over one million Zhuang also live in Yunnan Province, mostly in the Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in the extreme southeast of the province. More than half of these Zhuang speak Central Taic languages collectively known to linguists as “Southern Zhuang,” but referred to by their speakers as “Nong,” “Dai,” and “Min.” The goal of this paper is to introduce the sociolinguistic situation of the Yunnan Southern Zhuang languages, especially focusing on the current language use situation in rural Southern Zhuang villages, the present vitality of these languages and their prospects for future preservation and development. 1 Introduction The Zhuang people are the largest minority nationality within the People’s Republic of China, numbered at 16 million during the 2000 national census (National Bureau of Statistics 2003). Of these, approximately one third speak "Southern Zhuang," that is, Central Taic varieties, whereas two thirds speak "Northern Zhuang," or Northern Taic varieties. Over 1.1 million Zhuang nationality people live in Yunnan Province, and more than half of these are speakers of Central Taic language varieties. Though the Tai family as a whole has been the subject of a significant amount of research in Thailand, China, and elsewhere during the past century, much remains to be done.

This earthquake caused 25 deaths and over 250 injuries. In order to better understand the seismotectonics in the region, we collected the arrival time data from the Yunnan seismic observational bulletins during 1 January to 25 March 2011, and precisely hand-picked the arrival times from high-quality seismograms that were recorded by the temporary seismic stations deployed by our Institute of Crustal Dynamics, China Earthquake Administration. Using these arrival times, we relocated all the earthquakes including the Yingjiang mainshock and its aftershocks using the double-difference relocation algorithm. Our results show that the relocated earthquakes dominantly occurred along the ENE direction and formed an upside-down bow-shaped structure in depth. It is also observed that after the Yingjiang mainshock, some aftershocks extended toward the SSE over about 10 km. These results may indicate that the Yingjiang mainshock ruptured a conjugate fault system consisting of the ENE trending Da Yingjiang fault and a SSE trending blind fault. Such structural features could contribute to severely seismic hazards during the moderate-size Yingjiang earthquake.

Abstract: Leccinum is one of the most important groups of boletes. Most species in this genus are ectomycorrhizal symbionts of various plants, and some of them are well-known edible mushrooms, making it an exceptionally important group ecologically and economically. The scientific problems related to this genus include that the identification of species in this genus from China need to be verified, especially those referring to European or North American species, and knowledge of the phylogeny and diversity of the species from China is limited. In this study, we conducted multi- locus (nrLSU, tef1-a, rpb2) and single-locus (ITS) phylogenetic investigations and morphological observisions of Leccinum from China, Europe and North America.
