(NASDAQ: DTSS), a technology company engaged in providing smart security solutions and developing education-related technologies in China, today announced that it has entered into six agreements with K-12 schools and public communities in the cities of Nanjing and Taiyuan, China, to provide them with infrared thermometers and related hardware and software solutions aimed at detecting and controlling the coronavirus outbreak. Datasea’s system includes real-time body temperature monitoring, health data management, and abnormal health status alarms. Once the alert is triggered, the system will provide real-time tracking, showing the trajectory of the affected person. Once the person is identified as a patient, using intelligent analysis, the system will generate a list of suspected infected people with whom the patient may have been in contact. Datasea’s systems are divided into a campus version for schools and a community version, each of which can be customized based on specific customer needs. Datasea’s customers pursuant to the six contracts include a primary school affiliated with Nanjing Normal University, the Nanjing Xuzhuang High-Tech Zone Experimental Primary School, Taiyuan No.1 Middle School of Jiancaoping District, Taiyuan Yingxin Primary School of Jiancaoping District, Nanjing Xuanwu Lake Community of Xuanwu District, and Taiyuan Xiurong Community of Lan County. Datasea intends to provide 13 price levels for its systems from approximately $1,457 to 27,086 (RMB 10,200 to RMB 189,600) per set with different hardware configurations and software functions. The signed contracts are for a trial period ending June 30, 2020. After the trail period concludes, customers can choose to return the devices or purchase them at a preferential price. Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province. As of December 31, 2018, there were 953 public communities with a population of 6.97million. At the same time, there were 1.7 million students in 1,614 schools in Nanjing. Among them, 1,539 schools are K-12 schools with more than 912 thousand students. Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province. As of December 31, 2018, there were more than 680 public communities with a population of 4.2 million. At the same time, there were 678,925 students in 1,430 schools in Taiyuan. All these schools are high-density public areas and 1,392 among them are K-12 schools.

  • Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Chinese Dialects
    Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Chinese Dialects Esra Erdem Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria [email protected] Feng Wang Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Peking University, Beijing, China [email protected] Evolutionary relations between languages based on their shared characteristics can be represented as a phylogeny --- a tree where the leaves represent the extant languages, the internal vertices represent the ancestral languages, and the edges represent the genetic relations between the languages. On the other hand, languages not only inherit characteristics from their ancestors but also sometimes borrow them from other languages. Such borrowings can be represented by additional non-tree edges, turning a phylogeny into a phylogenetic network. With this motivation, we reconstruct the evolutionary history of languages in two steps: first we compute a plausible phylogeny with a minimal number of incompatible characters, and then we turn this phylogeny into a perfect phylogenetic network, by adding a small number of lateral edges, so that all characters are compatible with the network. For both steps, to formulate the problems and to solve them, we use answer set programming --- a new form of declarative programming. This method has been successfully applied to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Indo-European languages. In the following we summarize its application to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Old Chinese and the following 23 Chinese dialects: Guangzhou, Liancheng, Meixian, Taiwan, Xiamen, Zhangping, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Anyi, Shuangfeng, Changsha, Beijing, Yuci, Taiyuan, Ningxia, Chengdu, Yingshan, Wuhan, Ningbo, Suzhou, Shangai 1, Shangai 2, Wenzhou. We have started with a dataset consisting of 200 lexical characters (the Swadesh wordlist), each with 1--24 states.

  • Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project Conducted by China Office
    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by China Office: Month, 201X Country Name The Project on Eco-environment Rehabilitation and Poverty Reduction in Yanmenguan Region, People’s Republic of China Shanxi Province I. Project Outline Yanmenguan Region, Shanxi Province, is located in the Loess Plateau in the Northern China. It is a region of arid sandy terrace where rain-fed farming is the major style of agriculture and poor population is concentrated. In lands where reclamation reached to mountain summits, soil eroded after every heavy rainfall in summer, and this reduced land productivity further accelerated poverty. In 2001, the Shanxi provincial government proposed the Yanmenguan Ecological Livestock Economic Zone Construction Background Plan with the goal of improving ecological environment and of farmers’ livelihood. By mobilizing budget at the state, provincial and county levels, this plan intended to increase the share of livestock farming, protect soil surface through cultivation of perennial plants and promote grass-fed livestock farming. Nevertheless, this region lacked human resources capable of initiating and implementing the above-mentioned plan, as well as grass seeds, livestock, and initial investment cost for livestock-house construction, causing major delays on transition from agriculture to livestock farming. 1. Overall Goal: To diffuse the model system created in the project, improve the ecological environment, and to improve livelihood of the farmers in the Yanmenguan Region. Objectives of the 2. Project Purpose: To construct a model system(Note) for improvement of both ecological environment Project and livelihood of farmers and to establish a system for diffusion in the Yanmenguan Region.

Identification of nitrate sources is important for the management of rivers. In this study, stable isotopes (δ15N and δ18O) and a Bayesian model (stable isotope analysis in R, SIAR) were applied to identify nitrate sources and estimate the proportional contributions of multiple nitrate sources in the upstream of Fenhe River Reservoir that serves as a source of drinking water in Shanxi Province of North China. *e results showed that the 86.4% of total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in the water samples exceeded the guided values of the Chinese Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard (GB 3838-2002). *e influent of tributary and discharges of sewage caused the severe nitrogen pollution. SIAR was used to estimate the proportional contribution of three nitrate sources (sewage, inorganic fertilizer, and soil nitrogen).

  • High-Speed Rail – the First Three Years: Taking the Pulse of China’S Emerging Program
    China Transport Topics No. 04 February 2012 High-Speed Rail – The First Three Years: Taking the Pulse of China’s Emerging Program Richard Bullock, Andrew Salzberg, and Ying Jin Public Disclosure Authorized World Bank Office, Beijing High-speed rail services have now been operating in China for three years. How are they performing? What has happened to the conventional services they parallel? What has been the impact on the airlines? Little comprehensive information has been published to date but a general picture is emerging in which high-speed rail, as in other countries, is competing strongly on short and medium-distance routes up to 1,000 km while air remains dominant over longer distances. Overall, however, diverted air passengers have not been a major source of high speed rail ridership. A larger source has been ‘generated’ trips: new trips by passengers who were induced to travel by the greater convenience of high speed service. Based on this evidence and the continuing strong growth in Chinese urban populations and incomes, we are cautiously optimistic about the long-term ridership (and hence economic viability) of the major trunk railways of the high-speed rail network in China. This optimism is tempered by the Public Disclosure Authorized need to develop a sustainable financing mechanism in the short to medium term and to carefully weigh the costs and benefits of the peripheral extensions of the network. THE NETWORK SO FAR Most lines have a large proportion of tunnel and China began to operate network-wide 200 km/h viaduct (in hilly areas)2 or elevated structure (in services in April 2007 as part of what is known as 3 1 flatter areas) , the latter to conserve farmland the Sixth Speed-Up but the first high-speed rail and minimize severance.
