PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03 CDM – Executive Board page 5 The scenario existing prior to the start of the implementation of the project activity (the same as baseline scenario): The electricity should have been supplied by the South China Power Grid, dominated by electricity generated by fossil fuel fired plants, prior to the start of the implementation of the project activity, which is the same as the baseline scenario. The South China Power Grid is dominated by electricity generated by fossil fuel fired plants, whose by-products are GHGs. The project scenario: The scope of activities that are being implemented with the project activity is shown in Table A.1. Table A.1 Indicators sheet of the project with different installed capacity [2] Indicator Unit Options of Installed capacity Installed capacity MW 9.6 16 18.9 Annual average power generation MWh 61,160 88,000 96,010 Annual utilization hours (load factor) Hours 6,371 5,500 5,080 Installed capacity multiple proportions Times 1.56 1.89 2.00 coefficient Incremental investment Yuan - 5,800,000 RMB Incremental electricity sales MWh - 5,610 Incremental annual revenue Yuan - 959,000 RMB IRR of Incremental investment % - 15.63 The Feasibility Study Report of the project compares 9.6MW, 16MW, and 18.9MW of installed capacities. Installed capacity multiple proportions coefficient of 16MW and 18.9MW fluctuate from 1.89 to 2.0, which is appropriate to this type of local power grid. Considering the actual hydropower indicators and according to the incremental utilization hours downward tendency analysis, 16MW and 18.9MW of installed capacity are more reasonable. For the comparison between 16MW and 18.9MW, the method of internal revenue rate of incremental investment is employed in the comparison. As the Table A.1 shows, it is rational that the installed capacity 18.9MW is recommended, since the IRR of incremental is higher than the benchmark of 10%. Total installed capacity of the project is 18.9MW. The project is run-of-river hydropower station. The new reservoir surface area is 0.02km2, and therefore the power density is 945W/m2, much more than 10W/m2. The project is a diversion run-of-river hydropower station, which mainly consist of dam, diversion channel and tunnel, pressure forebay, and power plant. It will employ three units CJA475-W-130/2×13.5 hydro turbines and three units SFW6300-8/2150 generators. The key technical parameters are shown in Table A.2: [2] Indicator sheet refers to p4-14~ p4-17 in Feasibility Study Report. This template shall not be altered. It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font.

    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.

These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 11 December 2019; Accepted: 3 January 2020; Published: 11 January 2020 Abstract: Collection, characterization and utilization of genetic resources are crucial for developing varieties to meet current and future needs. 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.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 85 4th International Conference on Management Science, Education Technology, Arts, Social Science and Economics (MSETASSE 2016) Discussions on Development of Cultural Tourism Industry in Region at the Source of the Pearl River Jingfeng Wang School of economics and management, Qujing Normal University, Qujing Yunnan, 655011, China Key words: Source of the Pearl River, Cultural tourism, Development. Abstract. The Pearl River is one of the three large inland rivers of China. The region at the source of the Pearl River is rich in natural landscape resources and human landscapes, has a profound historical and cultural foundation, and is distinctively featured by minority folk-custom, all of which are advantageous conditions for the development of cultural tourism industry. Yet the development situation of cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River is still less than satisfactory. Only by transformation and upgrading of scenic region at the source of the Pearl River, and development of minority folk-custom-themed the Three Kingdoms History-themed cultural tourism, and cultural heritage tourism products, the cultural tourism industry at the source of the Pearl River can have more development opportunities. Overview of the Pearl River and of Its Source The Pearl River is one of the three inland rivers of China. By streamflow, the Pearl River is the second largest inland river in China, second only to the Yangtze River; by length, the Pearl River is the third largest inland river in China, following the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The main stream of the Pearl River is 2320km long in total, the basin area is 446,768km2 [1], its river basin stretches over Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and it flows into the South China Sea from the 8th estuary in the Pearl River Delta.

    The Southern Zhuang Languages of Yunnan Province’s Wenshan Prefecture from a Sociolinguistic Perspective 从社会语言学方面看 云南省文山州的壮语南部方言 Eric C. Johnson 江子扬 Susanne J. 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.
