A New Freshwater Psammodictyon Species in the Taihu Basin, Jiangsu Province, China

There are several features of this diatom that suggest it should be included in the genus Psammodictyon, notably the possession of panduriform valves characterized by a longitudinal fold near the apical axis, coarsely areolate striae, and a keeled raphe system present on the valve margin. This species is distinct from others in the genus by its small size, being only 16.5–25.0 μm long and 10.0–12.5 μm wide in the central region, and with the widest valve being 10.5–13.5 μm in width. There are 8–11 distinct fibulae per 10 μm and the striae are composed of 18–22 coarse areolae per 10 μm. This is the first report of a freshwater member of the genus Psammodictyon in China, which expands the known geographical and ecological distributions of the genus and enhances our understanding of freshwater diatom diversity in China. Key words: diatom, new species, Psammodictyon, Taihu Lake, taxonomy Introduction opposing sides of the valves of the frustule (similar to the diagonal symmetry of other members of the family The genus Psammodictyon D.G.

Eriocheir Sinensis) Meat Using Electronic Tongue Analysis

Milne Edwards, 1853): those from the native culture area in the Yangcheng Lake, Yangcheng Lake-labeled crabs from the market, and those from aquaculture ponds. The electronic tongue data showed that umami was the most predominant taste in the steamed meat, followed by sweetness. The aftertaste of umami was clearly observed in all crab meat samples. Saltiness and bitterness varied widely depending on the geographic origin. There was only a little aftertaste of bitterness and no discernable sourness, astringency, or aftertaste of astringency. Principal component analysis (PCA) exhibited a clear grouping trend among the three crab groups. Linear discriminant analysis revealed that the crab groups can be separated from each other with 100% accuracy on the basis of the aforementioned measurable taste values. The taste sensing system can accurately profile the taste characteristics of crabs native to Yangcheng Lake, those marketed as Yangcheng Lake-labeled crabs, and those of pond-cultured crabs.

University Charter As the Basis of Internal Governance in Chinese Universities
2019 2nd International Workshop on Advances in Social Sciences (IWASS 2019) University Charter as the Basis of Internal Governance in Chinese Universities Wang Bing Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Moscow, Russia Keywords: University charter, Internal governance in the chinese universities, Modern university system Abstract: The development of the university charter is an important basic work for building a modern university system and promoting higher education in accordance with the law. The university charter is the link between social law and the university system and is an intermediary platform for the university to interact with the government and society. This article discusses the meaning and characteristics of the university charter, analyzes the relationship between the university charter and the internal management system in universities. 1. Introduction The university charter is the full laws and regulations of the university, which governs work in the university in accordance with laws and regulations of the competent education authorities. It should clearly define the duties and powers of organizations and power structures, the rules for the appointment of personnel and the exercise of authority under the mission and purpose of the university[1]. The charter of the university should cover everything related to the management of the university. 2. The Process of Formulation of the Charters in the Universities In 1995, the “Law of the PRC on Education” stated that universities have legal qualifications and the right to self-government in accordance with the charters. In 1998, the “Law of the PRC on Higher Education” stipulated that the charter on the establishment of the university should be sent to the approving authority.
