  • Symposium and Field Workshop on Ediacaran Stratigraphy of South
    Dayangcha International Workshop on the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary(DIWCOB) (September 20- 25, 2017 Changchun NE China) First Circular Rationale In the past 16 years, there have been tremendous advances in understanding of the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary on the basis of the study of the GSSP fixed at Green Point, Newfoundland in 2001. New discoveries and knowledge of fossils (conodonts, graptolites, trilobites etc.), radiometric dates and chemo-stratigraphic data have been published at an unprecedented pace. In the meantime, because each research group has been working more or less independently, there have been numerous discrepancies and inconsistencies with regard to important biomarkers of the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary and its relation to chemostratigraphic excursions, and sequence stratigraphic surfaces. This workshop is motivated by the need to resolve these discrepancies and to discuss the feasibility of re-defining a set of criteria for subdivision and correlation of the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary, in China and beyond. The workshop, supported by NSFC and Ministry of Science and Technology of China (NCSC), will be organized by National Commission on Stratigraphy of China (NCSC), Jilin Provincial Bureau of Land and Resources (JPBLR) and Wuhan Center for Geological Survey (WCGS) (Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources (WIGMR) and hosted by the Research Center of Paleontology and Stratigraphy (RCPS) of Jilin University together with Baishan City Bureau (BCBLR) and Jiangyuan District Bureau of Land and Resources (JDBLR).

The level of sustainable development in the 8 cities of Jilin Province. The results show that Changchun City, Baishan City, Liaoyuan City, and Songyuan City have reached a sound sustainable development level, and Jilin City, Tonghua City, Baicheng City, and Siping City are generally sustainable development level. Finally, corresponding suggestions are made for the sustainable development level of cities and towns in Jilin Province. 1. Introduction The term “sustainable development” first appeared in the “World Conservation Outline” formulated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1980 [1]. In 1987, “Our Common Future” was submitted to the UN General Assembly to propose the concept of “sustainable development formally” mode. “Sustainable development” is defined as “a development that meets the needs of the present and does not constitute a hazard to the ability of future generations to meet their needs.” It is a comprehensive concept covering economic, social, resource and environmental aspects.

R. China, 130012 Abstract Bronze ornaments for girdles of the Mohe-Nuzhen tradition unearthed from sites at Mohe, Bohai, and Nuzhen can be classified into two phases. One phase overlaps both the Mohe and early Bohai periods. These bronze ornaments for girdles of the Sumo Mohe-Bohai tradition are mostly distributed in the valleys of Songhuajiang and Mudanjiang. The other phase is called the Nuzhen period, when bronze ornaments for girdles belonged to the Heishui Mohe-Bohai tradition, and are frequently seen in the Heilongjiang Valley. Keywords: Mohe, Nuzhen, bronze ornaments for girdles, archaeological research 1. Archaeological Discoveries Bronze ornaments for girdles (bronze, card-shaped, and attached on waistbands) of the Mohe-Nuzhen tradition are rectangular or round artifacts with various decoration patterns hollowed out on the surface and 2 to 4 raised fasteners on the back.

  • RRP Sector Assessment (Summary)
    Jilin Urban Development Project (RRP PRC 46048) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): MULTISECTOR1 A. Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Following the implementation of reforms and accelerated industrialization in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), economic and urban growth have been rapid. During 1978–2013, the urban population increased from 170 million to 730 million, and the urbanization rate increased from 17.9% to 53.7%. The National Urbanization Strategy (2014–2020) and the PRC’s Twelfth Five-Year Plan indicate that urban development should continue, with the urbanization rate reaching 60% by 2020 (equivalent to 100 million new urban residents) and 70% by 2030 (300 million new urban residents).2 Urbanization is perceived as a main driving force in the effort to shift the economy from investment and exports to demand-driven, service-oriented growth. The National Urbanization Strategy and Twelfth Five-Year Plan also highlight the importance of quality in urbanization—in addition to accommodating the urban population, infrastructure should promote quality urbanization and best practices in municipal services to ensure urbanization is people-centered and resource efficient. However, this requires adequate financing for infrastructure investment and knowhow to manage services.3 2. From a spatial planning perspective, efforts to promote development of medium-sized cities are central to the PRC’s urbanization strategy.4 Mega cities and metropolitan clusters are a powerful economic driving force, but face increasing environmental and congestion challenges, which lead to significant territorial disparities, and exacerbate inequality. In response, the government has developed objectives and measures to decrease pressure on large cities, and encourage rural migration to smaller cities.5 Medium-sized cities account for one-third of the urban population, and have the potential to cluster economic activity, act as a vital link to remote areas, attract the local rural work force, and strengthen urban–rural integration.

Abstract: The low-carbon economy, as a major trend of global economic development, has been a widespread concern, which is a rare opportunity to realize the transformation of the economic way in China. The realization of a low-carbon economy requires improved resource utilization efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. The reasonable location of logistics nodes is of great significance in the optimization of a logistics network. This study formulates a double objective function optimization model of reverse logistics facility location considering the balance between the functional objectives of Citation: Chang, L.; Zhang, H.; the carbon emissions and the benefits.
