This Conference proposed a new model for the industry, creating a multi-exchange platform where professionals could share in-depth analysis of regulatory and policy trends, experiences in compliance and discuss barriers as well as future possible ways forward for the industry. Over the last ten years, CRAC has witnessed the rapid development of the chemical industry and its shift towards a greener approach. It has observed the pesticide industry's wave of transformation, growth and integration, noting how food safety and the quality of consumer products increasingly became an issue of public concern as well as a global focus area. Global oversight levels have risen, pressure for environmental protection has increased, competition has intensified and new opportunities and limitations have multiplied, which has injected a new impetus into various industries to change and rise up to the challenge. The 10th Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference (CRAC 2018) continues to increase its expertise in the exploration of the future of regulatory technology and industry, focusing on industrial chemicals, agrochemicals, food contact materials and consumer products. Following the principle of achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration, CRAC2018 will bring together government officials, technical experts and business representatives from all corners of the world to share the latest compliance information, and together build a greener industry. Details Time: September 9-12, 2018 (Sunday- Wednesday ) Venue: Shangri-La Hotel, Chengdu (9 Binjiang E Rd, HeJiangTing, Jinjiang District, Chengdu, China, 610000) Conference Highlights 10 years of accumulated experience backing this international-level event through 6 sessions to provide the latest regulatory information An opportunity to bring together experts representing authorities, companies, and international organizations to expand network opportunities Direct access to government representatives and authorities to assess the latest regulatory developments Chinese –English – Japanese simultaneous interpretation to ensure zero language barriers CRAC 2018 Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference Sessions ·Chemicals Environmental and Safety Management The chemical industry is traditionally one of the most powerful industries in the global economy. It is also regarded as a primary industry in many countries and has a definite economic and social impact on various sectors. However, the chemical industry includes numerous categories, complicated processes, and diverse products. The types of pollutants released during production are numerous and large in quantity, and they have become a large source of industrial pollution. At the same time, there are many segments within the production of chemicals such as processing, use, storage, sales, transportation, and waste disposal. Any omission or mishandling within any segment could cause unpredictable damage. In order to reduce the hazardous risks on human health or the environment during the life cycle of chemicals whilst promoting the green development of the chemical industry, chemical management departments all over the world have established a risk management system to effectively supervise chemicals and promote innovation and green development in the industry. On the other hand, technical trade measures constitute market access barriers, which stand in the way of development of international trade and limit the free circulation and optimal allocation of world resources. Access to natural resources and environmental issues are common challenges faced by humankind, which has led to an increasing global consensus on the issue of sustainability. The chemical industry is undergoing tremendous changes. Companies should use compliance as the cornerstone to explore the path to green innovation and development. Following this initiative, CRAC2018 promotes development through compliance, delivering the latest regulatory trends in global chemical regulations, and offering the necessary platform for professionals to explore the challenges faced in the development of the chemical industry, and enabling companies to grasp new opportunities. ·China-U.S.-Europe Transport of Dangerous Goods Management The transportation of goods is an indispensable segment within the trade process. Due to its hazardous nature, hazardous chemicals must not only meet the general transportation conditions, but also comply with specific rules according to the physical and chemical properties of the goods. Depending on the requirements, they may have to be assisted by specialized personnel, professional tools for specific transport vehicle models, and documentation for compliance of dangerous goods transport. There are various types of dangerous goods, and their mishandling or improper manipulation could easily lead to accidents. This has potential to cause significant loss of human life, property, as well as environmental resources. Since 2016, for the purpose of furthering the safe inland transport of dangerous goods, the Ministry of Transport of China has organized extensive researches and discussions, greatly focused on improving the inland transport management system of dangerous goods in China, as well as the level of safety management in the overall industry. CRAC 2018 Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference Sessions In order to strengthen the level of exchanges between China, U.S. and the EU in this field, while at the same time provide a platform for professionals and management experts in the dangerous goods transport industry to exchange views, CRAC2018 will invite officials, senior experts and company representatives from these countries and regions to share the latest experiences and policy trends. We also will aim to focus on hot topics, such as the transportation of limited quantities of dangerous goods and the safe storage and transportation of lithium batteries. By comparing the requirements of the three parties and seeking areas where they can complement each other through advanced concepts and effective experiences and practices, we hope to further promote the safe management of dangerous goods transportation. ·Global Pesticide Registration The use of pesticides is directly related to the quality and safety of agricultural products and the environment. Following current trends, the development of a green and sustainable plant protection industry has become the common goal pursued by pesticide management departments in various countries. With the constant development of the economy and technology, the compliance management system for pesticides across countries has gradually been strengthened, improving safety, production, and mutual benefits. However, due to differences in pesticide production and use, traditional management standards, technology, and resources available, the implementation of pesticide management systems varies globally. In turn, this causes different levels of regulatory standards and requirements, which ultimately complicate compliance work. Across the pesticide industry, green development has become the most important concept and mission, opening up to new possible changes, conforming to new standards in the field of compliance, and gradually becoming an industry trend. CRAC2018 has invited officials and technical experts from countries big in pesticide trade, such as China, the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and others from Europe, South America, and the Asia Pacific region to focus on global pesticide management, review regulatory changes, and help understand new developments in the industry. ·Food Contact Materials Food contact materials are regarded as a “double-edged sword” for food safety. On the one hand, suitable materials and packaging can prevent food from being contaminated and ensure that the quality and characteristics of foods are not altered. On the other hand, food contact materials and articles, they may release a certain amount of toxic chemicals when in contact with foods. Once these toxic chemicals migrate and exceed a certain value, they will have effect on food safety and do harm to human health. CRAC 2018 Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference Sessions In recent years, the traditional methods, technologies and materials used in packaging production are re-examined as people pay more and more attention to the safety of food contact materials. With the rapid development of the food science and packaging industry, many new types of packaging

Anonymous Referee #1 Received and published: 29 February 2016 This manuscript presented a 368-year temperature reconstruction based on tree-ring record in northeast edge of Tibetan Plateau. It is a necessary supplement of past cli- mate proxy records in this area, especially for the monthly mean maximum temperature reconstruction and its implication for rapid warming in recent at this region. Overall this manuscript is well-written, the work seems to be of high quality and is appropriate for Climate of the Past. Therefore, I would recommend this manuscript for publication in this Journal after the following issues are addressed. (1) In the past 368 years, you identified seven short cold periods and three long warm periods (two long and one short). Could you explain why it appeared like this? (2) You detected different significant periodicities of temperature variations in the past C1 368 years. Only for this, you thought the temperature variations could be driven by ENSO, PDO, AMO and solar activity, which may not accurate. Please give more evi- dences if possible. (3) References in text of the manuscript should be listed in chronological order. (4) It would be better if this manuscript is fluent by a native speaker again. Other detailed comments: Line 11, Page 1: replace “for” with “in” Line 12, Page 1: move “base on a chronology of tree-ring widths over the period 1646-2013” to the end of “variability”.

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.

  • 2172. Experimental Investigation of the Vibration-Attenuating Effect of Rail Suspension Fasteners on Environment Vibration Induced by Subway
    2172. Experimental investigation of the vibration-attenuating effect of rail suspension fasteners on environment vibration induced by subway Ping Wang1, Kai Wei2, Yingchun Liang3, Feng Wang4 MOE Key Laboratory of High-speed Railway Engineering, Chengdu, China School of Civil Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China 2Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received 17 March 2016; received in revised form 16 June 2016; accepted 20 July 2016 DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.21595/jve.2016.16984 Abstract. A field test of environment vibration due to subway was carried out so as to investigate the vibration-alleviating effect of rail suspension fasteners in both time and frequency domains. The experimental results show that the time-domain vertical ground vibration accelerations would transform from several concentrated vibrations to the decentralized and uniform ones after replacement of common rail fasteners with rail suspension fasteners. Moreover, rail suspension fasteners have more significant vibration-mitigation effect on the time-domain peak particle accelerations (PPAs) at the nearer positions than at the farther ones, and the minimum PPA induced by common rail fasteners is still higher than the maximal PPA caused by rail suspension fasteners at all measuring positions. In frequency domain, the vibration-reduction effect of rail suspension fasteners is more remarkable in the dominant 1/3 octave center frequencies of 50-125 Hz than in the non-dominant ones from 1 to 40 Hz. Compared with common rail fasteners, the highest vibration acceleration levels (VALmax) in the dominant 1/3 octave center frequencies between 50 and 125 Hz at all measuring positions decrease by 8.7-21 dB after adoption of rail suspension fasteners.
