《病毒自组装中的静电效应-Electrostatic Regulation in Viral Genome Packaging

Electrostatic interaction is known to play a key role in the genome viral packaging because of the high negative charges on the DNA or RNA backbone.  In a subclass of ssDNA and ssRNA viruses, the viral capsid proteins contain flexible positively charged protamine tails that extend inwardly from the capsid surface.  In these viruses, electrostatic attraction between the nucleic acid and the protamine tails provides the main driving force for genome packaging.  Treating the viral packaging as a type of equilibrium self-assembly, we study the genome packaging in this class of viruses using a coarse-grained model and liquid-state density functional theory for chain molecules that accurately accounts for the excluded volume and electrostatic interactions.  By minimizing the appropriate free energy, we obtain the optimal length of the packaged genome at given capsid size, and length and charge of the protamine tails.  We find that under a wide range of conditions, the optimal packaged genome length is linearly proportional to the total charge carried by the capsid protamine tails. We make quantitative predictions for the wild-type and several mutant Hepatitis B viruses.

《科技创新范式的转型:挑战与机遇》(摘要)

   

随着全球范围内的生态、能源、食品安全、卫生健康及全球气候变化等问题日益凸现,科技创新的范式如何转型是一个亟待研究的重大课题。这至少需要回答三个方面问题:一是科技创新范式的基本内涵是什么?二是以往的或正在进行的科技创新范式的基本特征是什么?在造福人类的同时,带来了什么负面效应、严峻挑战或潜在危机?三是新的科技创新范式应以什么为核心、共同纲领或共同信念? 确立新的范式将给中国、世界的发展,以及中美各领域的科技合作与交流带来的机遇和前景?

笔者结合近年来在中国科技部工作期间,以及常驻和赴欧洲、亚洲、美洲多国考察研修期间所进行的有关科技创新的国际经验比较研究,并以农业科技创新为例,对上述问题谈几点初步思考和看法,以期抛砖引玉。

Abstract

Presenter: Dr. Qian Lu, M.D., Ph.D., research assistant professor at UCLA. Dr. Lu is a health psychologist and a physician who is interested in Developing culturally sensitive psychosocial interventions for Asian cancer survivors.

 

Abstract: Many Asian Americans diagnosed with cancer have limited English competency and thus few opportunities to participate in and benefit from psychosocial interventions carried out in English. With hundreds of diverse subgroups and different languages in Asian American communities, it is critical to develop and evaluate culturally sensitive intervention modules that could be easily adopted for targeted ethnic subgroups. While searching for culturally effective psychosocial interventions, Dr Lu became interested in interventions using expressive writing to improve health and well-being. Asians may benefit from expressive writing because of its intrinsic compatibility with Asian cultural communication styles. With the funding from Susan G. Koman foundation, Dr Lu and colleagues are working with Herald Cancer Association to test the health benefits of expressive writing among Chinese breast cancer survivors in local communities. If this technique is demonstrated effective in improving physical and psychological health among Chinese-speaking breast cancer survivors, it may be an easily disseminated intervention for other groups of Asian American breast cancer survivors with limited English proficiency across the country.

 

Bio and Research Interests

Dr. Qian Lu, Ph.D., M.D., is a research assistant professor at UCLA. Dr. Lu is a health psychologist and a physician who is interested in understanding psychosocial and cultural aspects of the origin, development, and consequences of diseases and to develop culturally sensitive psychosocial interventions, particularly for vulnerable populations. Dr. Lu developed several intertwined lines of research: (1) developing culturally competent social and behavioral interventions for Asian Americans cancer survivors, (2) examining risk factors of pain in childhood cancer survivors and developing targeted interventions, (3) ethnic and gender differences in pain, and (4)applying advanced quantitative methods (i.e., multivariate and multilevel modeling) in these areas above.

 

Randomized Controlled Trials of Written Emotional Disclosure among Asian Americans

Instructed writing interventions appear to have potential to be an appropriate tool for the prevention and treatment of psychological distress and physical symptoms associated with chronic diseases. Instructed writing interventions holds promise for patients and ethnic minorities because this type of intervention potentially increases both the availability and accessibility of health services. Collaborated with Dr. Stanton, Dr. Lu has finished a study of written emotional disclosure intervention among college students and discovered different responses between Caucasians and East Asians. Having conducted a community study to examine coping styles and quality of life among Chinese cancer survivors, Dr. Lu is continuing this line of research to study health benefits of written emotional disclosure among Chinese breast cancer survivors and childhood cancer survivors. Dr. Lu is currently funded by the Suzan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation and the National Cancer Institute to carry out this line of research.

 

Identifying Risk Factors of Pain among Childhood Cancer Survivors

As many as two-thirds of all survivors of childhood cancer experience at least one late effect of cancer treatment, and the experience of late effects may significantly increase survivors’ risk for developing pain or psychological distress. However, relatively little is known about the prevalence or etiology of pain in childhood cancer survivors, particularly ethnic minorities. Dr. Lu is collaborating with Dr. Zeltzer on identifying protective factors that potentially mitigate the effects of childhood cancer, treatment, and environmental context on pain and disability in this cohort. Such protective factors could serve as targets for treatment in order to reduce the quality of life burden borne by a subset of survivors of childhood cancer.

 

Biopsychosocial Mechanisms of Ethnic and Gender Differences in Pain

Dr. Lu is a co-investigator of a large scale R01 grant funded by NIH to examine gender differences in pain and how pain transfer through generations. By investigating biopsychosocial mechanisms of gender differences in experimental pain, Dr. Lu and colleagues examined the relationship between autonomic arousal and pain responses in children, and the relationship between parents’ anxiety and children’s laboratory pain responses. These studies support a family learning model in pain and suggest the important role of cultural environment. The study of biopsychosocial mechanisms of disease will facilitate an understanding from the molecular to the societal levels, of how diverse factors such as gender, ethnicity, and stress could contribute to disease pathogenesis, and help eventually develop behavioral intervention.

Topic 演讲主题:Earthquake Hazards and Tsunami-地震灾害和海啸》

 

Abstract 摘要:

Earthquake and tsunami are severe natural disasters threatening human’s life and properties in the world. Californians are living on an earthquake country where one of the world's most famous earthquake-generating faults – the San Andreas passes from Northern California nearby San Francisco Bay area to Southern California, aside Salton Sea. In Northern California, the last major earthquake was 100 years ago in 1906. Over 3,000 people were killed and 225,000 people were left homeless. In Southern California, the last major earthquake on the San Andreas Fault was 150 years ago (1857), rupturing the fault from Central California to San Bernardino. Further south along the San Andreas Fault, from San Bernardino through the Coachella Valley to the Salton Sea, over 300 years have passed since the last major earthquake. Another major earthquake is likely to happen on this section of the fault within our lifetime. Many other faults beneath the great Los Angeles Basin areas are also able to generate the devastating earthquakes, i.e. the Puente Hill fault lying under the San Gabriel Valley, can generate a M>7 earthquake and cause the lost over 100 billions of US dollars. In this talk, the speaker will introduce the information on hazards and scenarios of recent major devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in the world, particularly in southern California as well as the preparedness we should care about earthquakes in California and should do to be safe and reduce damage.

《道德的烦扰:21世纪中国人的伦理沉沦和困境》

The Embarrassment of Virtue:

Moral Decline and the Predicament of the Chinese Person in the 21st Century

 

 Modernization often involves changes in social norms, values, and beliefs, leading to a certain degree of moral crisis; China is by no means an exception.  However, the Chinese case also results from several rather unique factors, including the state-sponsored attack on traditional values and ethics, the quick rise and fall of socialist morality and its consequences, the lack of civic virtues in public sphere, and the continuing tight control of the public sphere by a strong state which makes the development of civic virtues extremely difficult.  All these have made the local/indigenous resources of values and ethics weak and vulnerable in the face of a sweeping global consumerism and its associated ethics of possessive individualism.  As a result, Chinese virtues are in an embarrassing situation of being out-of-date and powerless, a new system of civic virtues cannot grow out of a society without much freedom in the public sphere, the ethics and norms of being a decent person have yet to be negotiated, and the current structural arrangements of the society and the market do not reward individuals who pursue a virtuous life.  So much so that being a person of virtue has become an embarrassment.  Based on both ethnographic evidence and media reports, this paper will examine this emerging moral crisis and assess its potential impact on both Chinese society and the world.

Transformation of Mind-Set for Reform and Development: A Follow-Up Study of Returned Scholars in Guangzhou Government

 

演讲主题简介: 《改变思维方式,促进改革与发展:广州市政府海归学者追踪调研》

 

1998 2003年,广州市政府委托加州州立大学 (北岭)中国所培训了五批共94名年轻干部。 这些干部来自不同的政府和政策机构, 文教卫单位, 企业和经济实体。他们在完成了一年的 “跨世纪领导人培训计划”之后, 都按时回到广州,担当起更重要和更高的领导职位。 我们于2004年夏天去广州看望这些海归学者,通过个人和小组面谈的方式,开展了一项深入细致的追踪调研。 我们收集的数据包括以下几个方面: 1)学者们对在美学习和生活经历的反思和感受; 2)在美学习对他们世界观和思维方式的影响; 3)因此而引起的工作和生活上的变化; 4)中国学者对美国人民和社会的影响。 我们发现,访美学习生活使这些年轻干部的思维方式产生了根本性和持久性的变化,深刻地影响了他们的领导工作和个人生活, 逐渐地促进了中国的改革和发展。 在这一演讲中,我将介绍调研的部分重要发现, 并对未来美中学术合作的干部培训项目提出改进的建议。

 

 

Title:  “Transformation of Mind-Set for Reform and Development: A Follow-Up Study of Returned Scholars in Guangzhou Government”

 

Abstract:   From 1998 to 2003, at the request of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, the China Institute at California State University, Northridge, designed and successfully implemented “The Trans-Century Leadership Training Program” for five groups and a total of 94 young cadres and promising scholars from various governmental agencies, social and cultural organizations, economic and public health entities, and higher education institutions in Guangzhou.  All of them returned to Guangzhou upon completion of their year-long study programs at CSUN and assumed important and higher leadership positions.   In the summer of 2004, we traveled to Guangzhou and conducted an in-depth and face-to-face follow-up survey study with representatives from all five groups of our former scholars.  We obtained valuable data on 1) the scholars’ reflections and feelings about their learning and living experiences in the U.S.; 2) impact of their study in the U.S. on their mind-set, world outlook, and thinking process; 3) changes in their professional work and personal life in China as a result of their training in the U.S.; and 4) impact of the Chinese scholars’ presence in the U.S. on American people and society.   We found that the most fundamental and lasting change for these young leaders occurred in their mind-set and thinking process, which has significantly influenced their administrative work and daily life, gradually affecting the development and reform in China.   In this presentation, we will share some of our key findings, while speculating implications of this study for future leadership training programs in academic exchange and collaboration between the U.S. and China.

Da Vinci Code” of the Ancient Kong Chow Temple- A discussion on the spirit of the pioneers 

岡州古廟的密碼” - 早期远赴重洋华裔的心灵及精神支柱

 

洛杉机是美国西海岸的早期華人定居的主要城市。他們主要来自闽粤两省,尤其是廣東的“古岡州“ 地区:包括新会,鹤山,台山(或新寧),开平,恩平五邑的百姓。他们因海運影响,对外接觸频繁。最多人经香港及澳门顺利抵達太平洋彼岸。据说秦始皇帝南征及隋朝时,命名新会一带为岡州. 他們自稱是岡州人. 但回鄉时,大家都尊称他們做“金山伯“和金山阿姆”.

 

华人移居海外虽然解决了温飽问题,但他们心繫祖国,惦記亲人,盼望团聚的願望却与日俱增。許多时候,他们都感到求助無門。加上语言隔膜,内心痛苦,無时不巳!只好祈求上蒼,许愿神灵,尋求庇护。岡州古廟也就成为了游子心灵和精神的支柱。同時也是他们的“避風港“ 後援场所薪火相傳之寶地.

 

古廟的历史可远朔至公元1892年。迄今巳有114年了。古廟文物很多.處處顯示早期移民的心靈和精神支柱.

 

電影達芬奇的密碼有巧妙的劇情如爭權,謀利,宗教紛爭.相比岡州古廟亦不乏引人入勝,借喻暗示的詞語,更有詩歌寄意,為後輩提供打破天花板,成功致富的秘訣.  講座以中英雙語演譯.適合對華裔歷史有興趣研究的人士.

 

 “Da Vinci Code” of the Ancient Kong Chow Temple

- A discussion on the spirit of the pioneers

By

Kwan Ming Chan and Karen Chan

 

Los Angeles is a major port of entry for the early immigrants from the province of Guangdong. Most of them were from Wu Yi or Kong Chow districts. The name of Kong Chow was chosen by the Great Qin and Sui Dynasties to cover the Pearl River Estuary region. Theses pioneers were called Uncle Golden Mountain in their homeland.

 

After the immigrants have settled down in the new homeland, most people had solved their needs for food and shelter. However, their hearts and soul were still unsettled. They were unable to voice their concerns due to language difficulties and their heart-ached feeling was compounded daily. The best solution for them was to beg for mercy from their gods. The Kong Chow Temple has become their safe harbor and solid support.

 

The history of the temple can be traced back to 1892, which is more than 114 years ago. In the temple there are many cultural artifacts and objects, which reveal the secrets of success and overcoming the “glass ceiling”.

 

The recent picture “Da Vinci Code” has many interesting scripts about mysteries, fortune, power struggles, etc.  Similarly, when you visit the temple, you will discover the true “Spirit” of the pioneers of Kong Chow and their version of meaningful codes, which they wanted to pass to the future generations, including yourself.

 

The talk and the slide presentation will be bilingual, both in English and Chinese so as to benefit a wider range of audience. Either old or young, newly arrivals or long term residents are welcome. It will be rated as “excellent” for those, who still have an inquisitive mind to our history.

USCI Conference: China’s Great Western Development中国西部大开发 (10/5)

Evaluations and Perspectives on China’s Most Sweeping Developmental Initiative: The Great Western Development Project

USC Leavey Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA 90089

A Conference funded by the USC U.S. - China Institute and co-sponsored by the USC East Asian Studies Center

The US media and business world are obsessed with China’s phenomenal economic growth, but that growth is largely occurring in China’s Eastern coastal provinces. The majority of people living in China’s Western provinces are still mired in poverty. Moreover, China’s “West” accounts for over 50% of China’s territory and is the home to the vast majority of China’s ethnic minorities, including the politically sensitive Tibetans and Uighurs. The Chinese government is acutely aware that the Western Region represents a crucial economic and political challenge that must be addressed, and in 1999 announced its Great Western Development (Xibu Da Kaifa) initiative, a multi-billion dollar plan to promote development in the region. Experts from Chinese and US universities present research on the challenges of developing China’s northwest, the policies developed, and their impact thus far.

中国国务院侨办2007年中国创业政策咨询报告团莅临华府  10/6

 时间: 106日下午130分至4

 地点:马里兰州蒙郡邱吉尔高中

Winston Churchill High School, 11300 Gainsborough Road, Potomac MD 20854

中国国务院侨务办公室 2007年中国创业政策咨询报告团将于104日至106日访问美国大华府地区。报告团一行5人,由国侨办经济科技司张健青副司长带队。在华府期间,报告团将广泛接触侨学两界各方面的朋友,介绍中国政府建立和谐社会和创新国家的决策。报告团将于106日下午130分至4时在马里兰州蒙郡邱吉尔高中举办大型报告会,阐述中国政府推动海外华人华侨和留学人员回国创业的政策方针。

1978开始实行改革开放政策以来的30年时间,中国经济、政治、文化和社会建设各项事业取得了举世瞩目的伟大成就。最近几年,中国政府做出了一系列重大决策,着手调整经济结构和转变增长方式,大力加强资源节约和环境保护,着力解决民生问题,促进区域协调发展,深化改革开放,建设创新型国家,构建社会主义和谐社会。这一系列重大政策的实施,是保证中国经济和社会持续发展的的关键。

中国政府计划用15年的时间,在2020年建成创新型国家。建设创新型国家,核心就是把增强自主创新能力作为发展科学技术的战略基点,走出中国特色自主创新道路,推动科学技术的跨越式发展。建设创新型国家,关键在于科技,在于人才。最近,为了鼓励、扶持优秀海外人才回国创业,中国政府16个部门联合下发了《关于建立海外高层次留学人才回国工作绿色通道的意见》,帮助海外优秀人才解决回国创业面临的各种实际问题。

国务院侨务办公室是中国政府主管侨务工作的部门。吸引海外优秀人才回国发展,帮助华侨华人回国创业,是国侨办的重要职责之一。国侨办李海峰主任今年6月指出:华侨华人回国创业、投资面临着千载难逢的机遇。作为国侨办推动华侨华人回国创业的重要举措之一,国侨办经济科技司张健青副司长率领中国国务院侨务办公室2007年中国创业政策咨询报告团访问美国,将进一步帮助华人华侨了解相关政策,为有意回国发展的留学人员牵线搭桥创造机会,并解答大家关心的相关问题。

张健青副司长曾经长期在中国驻美大使馆工作,担任领事部副总领事,是大华府地区侨学两界的老朋友。报告团成员有:中国科技部政策法规司李新男副司长,常州津通国际工业园贡毅董事长,上海张江(集团)有限公司朱守淳副总经理和国侨办经济科技司于建明处长。李新男副司长长期参与国家科技政策法规的制定工作。 2005年初调入科技部政策法规与体制改革司,参加国家中长期科学技术规划配套政策的制定工作和《科技进步法》修订工作,负责技术创新引导工程和技术创新体系建设等项工作。贡毅博士曾在美国西北大学任教,1998年回国创业。2003年贡毅创立了津通集团,它是以工业科技地产开发管理为主业,集住宅、商业地产开发,产业发展、产品研发及制造和创业投资及管理为一体的集团公司。2005年,贡毅被授予中国首届华侨华人专业人士杰出创业奖。朱守淳曾获得上海市科技进步一等奖,现在担任上海张江(集团)有限公司副总经理。于建明处长长期从事侨务工作,现在主要负责华侨华人创业工作。

报告团在大华府的活动由中国大使馆领事部协调安排。美国华人生物医药科技协会和希望中文学校洛城校区负责接待报告团,主办 106日的报告会。美国华裔医学科学家协会、华盛顿华人社团联盟、大华府地区同乡会协会、希望中文学校、华盛顿中国大陆大专院校校友会联合会、华盛顿华人专业团体联合会、美中工商联合会等团体协助组织报告会。

报告会将于 106日下午130分至4时在马里兰州蒙郡邱吉尔高中(Winston Churchill High School, 11300 Gainsborough Road, Potomac MD 20854)举行,欢迎各界朋友参加。愿意参加者请于 105日前将姓名和电话号码以电子邮件送到 theragene@gmail.com or nsms_caa@yahoo.com ,以便做好会前筹备工作。

学者来稿精选 - 自卫防身的主要防范原则Prevention principles in self-defense (Chen Wang Gong Chen )

Prevention principles in self-defense

Cheng Wang, Professor, Xi-an Northwest Polytechnic University

Gong Chen, Ed.D. Professor, Sa Jose State University

 

           This article introduces prevention principles and prevention strategies in self-defense.  Practically everywhere you are, there are chances you may become a victim of violent crimes, even though some places are safer than other places.  Therefore, these principles apply to all locations and crimes.  These principles are developed based on research, principles of crime prevention, real-life cases, and recommendations from experts. Readers should not only understand these principles, but also apply them to everyday life.  None of these principles will work for you unless you actually apply them in your everyday life. 

            Prevention is the first and the most important step in self-defense.  The main purpose is to keep you away from any life-threatening situations in order to reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crimes.  The old saying in medicine, "One ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" also fits into self-defense perfectly.  We can say one act of prevention is worth a hundred fighting skills.  It is much easier to stay away from the trouble than to fight in a life-threatening situation.

            All crimes of violence are committed based on several elements:  the motivation of the criminals, the right place, the right time, and the right victim.  In another words, the criminals look for good opportunities.  The best prevention is to reduce these elements in order to limit their opportunities.  There are several important principles in prevention, and based on these principles, specific strategies and skills are developed for and applied to different situations.  The next article will introduce more detailed and specific strategies in self-defense prevention.

            The basic principles of prevention in self-defense are based on the analysis of the crime process.  Taking one or more rings a way from the crime ring will dramatically reduce the chance of becoming victims. 

            1.  Believe you may become a victim of crimes.  Believing anyone may become a victim of crimes can make people aware of the importance of crime prevention and self-defense and take it seriously.  Therefore, they are more likely to put safety as the top priority in everyday life and to initiate actions for better preparation.

            2.  Establish a safe lifestyle.  A safe lifestyle plays an important role in crime prevention and self-defense.  A safe lifestyle, such as always thinking of safety first before going anywhere, can reduce the risk of becoming a victim of crimes.  On the other hand, an unsafe lifestyle, such as regularly going to bars at night or jogging in the dark alone in an unsafe area, exposes you to dangerous situations.  People should eliminate these unsafe lifestyles.  Avoiding drinking and drugs will certainly reduce the facilitating factor of the crime process.

            3.  Do not create enemies (a good fellow model).  Creating enemies puts victims in the worst situation.  It triggers the crimes and makes you the victim of hate oriented crime easily.  Remember, hate is one of the two major motivations of criminals, and many cases are initiated by the victims.  There is little you can do to prevent this kind of crime because your enemy is highly motivated to attack you, while you cannot predict when, where, and how you are going to be attacked.  You may have to live in fear and under stress everyday.  Making an enemy is very easy, sometimes before you know it.  Examples include getting involved in an argument which has tension, treating people in a nasty way, trashing people, making nasty remarks, tailgating while driving, insulting other people's feelings, tricking people, and taking away another person’s property.   

            4.  Avoid dangerous places (the beaver model--beavers build their homes in a safe place only).  Location is an essential factor which may facilitate or impair the criminal's decision to attack or not.  You can avoid many bad situations by not going to the scenes where criminals can attack you easily.  The dangerous places include isolated areas, dark areas, gang-active areas, drug-related areas, and areas involving a lot of money.

            5.  Avoid dangerous times.  Time is another factor which may facilitate or impair the criminal's decision to attack or not.  You can avoid many bad situations by not going to dangerous scenes at dangerous times.  These dangerous times include when it is dark, you are alone, you are not prepared or alert, you are concentrating on something else (distracted), and anytime when you are in dangerous places.

            6.  Be a tough target (the porcupine model--few animals dare to attack a porcupine).  Vulnerability is the most essential factor which influences the criminal's decisions and actions.  Most criminals select weak victims because either they have more confidence to put the victim under control, or they can finish the crimes very quickly, thus with less risk of being found and caught; or they feel safe because the vulnerable victims will not fight back.  Tough targets warn the attackers to stay away and have less chance to be selected by criminals.  Becoming a tough target can be carried out in many ways.  For example, having a big dog in the house or installing an alarm system will make your house tough or look tough.  Walking with a mace in your hand also makes you look tough.  Being assertive is also recommended by experts.

            7.  Become an invisible target (the chameleon model).  The main idea of this principle is that you behave the same way as other people in your environment so that the criminals have no particular reason to pick you as the target among so many people.  On the other hand, showing off your richness or making someone hate you will make you a visible target and that can trigger the crimes easily.  Being an invisible target may be done in many ways.  For example, hiding your valuables instead of showing off your richness will not attract criminals to rob you, and being nice to other people will reduce the chance of becoming a target of revenge which may result in assaults or murders.

            8.  Take actions now.  Most people know the danger of crimes, but many of them are reluctant to take any actions to prevent and prepare for it.  No strategies or skills can make you safe, no matter how good they are unless you really want to apply them and actually carry out these principles, strategies, and skills in your life.

China plans to launch Chang'e No.1 in Oct

China plans to launch Chang'e No.1 moon probe satellite next month, one month later than the original launching plan, according to information from Nanfang Daily.

The moon probe satellite has been placed in the launching center for over one month now, ready for the launch. The launching platform has been made ready and the rocket that will carry Chang'e No. 1 will also be placed on the platform soon. Two viewing stands have been built for visitors to witness the exciting moment, said a worker at Xichang satellite launching center.

Early in last August, the moon probe satellite had been shipped to the launching center to run through a series of tests, said a guide in charge of the explanation work for Changzheng (Long March) carrier rocket.

Changzheng (Long March) 3A carrier rocket will carry Chang'e No.1 and send it into space. The launch will take place at the No.3 launching platform, a new platform that was completed in December, last year. So far, the new platform has sent two satellites into space to test its function. In its most recent launch, the platform successfully sent Xinnuo No. 3 satellite into space. The launch also marked the 100th successful launch for Changzheng (Long March) series carrier rockets.

The new platform will also be open to visitors. It sits next to Benyue Building, which has just finished construction. To invite more visitors to witness the launching moment, reconstruction for extension of the two viewing stands at the valley of Niutoushan on the right side of the Benyue Building is in full swing. When the extension work for the two viewing stands is completed, at least 2,000 people will be able to come to the center to see the launching process.

China to launch Zhongxing 9 satellite this year

 “If the launch of Xinnuo 2 satellite had not failed, Chinese public would have been able to watch TV programs broadcast by this satellite long time ago,” said Ma Ju, director of the Broadcasting Science Research Institute under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT).

He made the statement in an interview given to China Business News last Friday.

Earlier, when attending the 15th China International Radio and TV Information Network Exhibition, vice chairman of the Committee of Science and Technology under SARFT Du Baichuan said that Zhongxing 9 satellite might be launched around September or October. However, right now, it is almost the end of September and no officials have made any public announcement at the moment. It is now obvious that the launching schedule might be delayed.

Zhang Haitao, another official from SARFT, once disclosed that the launching might take place on November 9, or at a later time, this year.

This might reflect Chinese officials' cautiousness resulting from the failure of Xinnuo 2 satellite launch, because the launch of the two satellites, Xinnuo 2 and Zhongxing 9, should not be regarded as a simple launching event. Rather, they reflect China’s satellite technology level in the world.

The telecommunication satellites launch is regarded as one of the key projects for government efforts to extend radio and TV coverage to every village in China. With the launch of these telecommunication satellites, it is hoped that Chinese TV programs can further reach many remote villages previously not covered by the telecommunication satellites.

There are 378 million households in China. Of them, 140 million are cable TV users and 378 million receive radio or TV programs through wireless service.

China plans to build 31 new nuclear power plants by 2020

According to China's new national nuclear power development plan, by 2010 the installed capacity of China's nuclear power plants then being in operation will reach 12 million kilowatts. By 2020, China will build 31 new nuclear power plants, with the installed capacity of the operating nuclear power plants reaching 40 million kilowatts and the installed capacity of the nuclear power plants being under construction reaching 18 million kilowatts by that time, the Shanghai Securities Journal reported.

In order to realize this goal, China needs to build at least two nuclear power plants every year with an installed capacity of one million kilowatts and the country's total input for nuclear power plant construction will reach 500 billion yuan.

As one of the major nuclear nations in the world, China has a huge demand for nuclear power and it has carried out several cooperative projects with other countries with regard to nuclear use. This, as some experts say, might make China one of the most promising countries in the world in promoting nuclear power use.

In Asia, no other countries have a great demand for nuclear use as China. According to information from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), of all the 65 nuclear power plants that are being built or planned to be built in the world, two-thirds are located in Asia, especially in China. At present, nuclear power accounts for only 2% of the total power consumption in China. China has outlined a program that aims at changing the structure of its energy use. In complying with this program, the country will place nuclear power as the top priority.

动向:中国今后主要注重吸引少而精的高层次或紧缺留学人才

中国人事部、教育部等16个部门日前联合下发的一份通知显示,今后海外高层次留学人才回国工作,经有关主管部门批准,可不受编制数额、增人指标、工资总额和出国前户口所在地的限制。

旨在吸引海外高层次留学人才的其他措施还包括,回国工作的高层次留学人才的报酬与其本人能力、业绩、贡献挂钩;国家自然科学基金、863、973等重大科技计划和专项基金将面向回国工作的高层次留学人才平等开放;对特别优秀、国内急需的高层次留学人才,人事部将会同有关部门资助专项经费;高层次留学人才入出境及居留将享受一系列便利条件等。

根据16个部门共同制定的《关于建立海外高层次留学人才回国工作绿色通道的意见》表示,中国将根据少而精的原则吸引海外高层次留学人才,采取灵活多样的方式和特事特办的方法,围绕建设创新型国家的目标,围绕我国重点发展领域和行业的需要,围绕西部大开发、振兴东北地区等老工业基地、促进中部地区崛起等国家发展战略,有计划、有重点、有针对性地开展工作。

《意见》强调,要增强高层次留学人才引进工作的主动性,根据实际情况不断创新引进方式;积极吸引海外高层次留学人才回国到企事业单位工作,大力支持他们发挥自身优势,引进国外先进技术和资金,创办高新技术企业;发挥顶尖人才集聚效应,采取团队引进、核心人才带动引进等多种方式积极引进海外高层次留学人才和留学人才团队;对暂时无法回国的海外高层次留学人才,鼓励他们通过兼职、开展合作研究等各种适当方式为国服务。

截至2006年底,中国各类出国留学人员总数达106.7万人,留学回国人员总数达27.5万人,其中,2006年回国人员总数为4.2万人,比2005年增长21.3%,回国人数呈逐年上升趋势。

Cancer killed 3 mln Chinese in 2006

A report by Harbin Daily shows that in 2006 3 million Chinese died of cancer. It is estimated that cancer will kill more than 4 million Chinese by 2020.

The 10th National Conference of Clinical Oncology and the 2007 Annual Meeting of CSCO was kicked off last week, and a press briefing was held on September 20. According to the information revealed at the briefing, the incidence of lung cancer is the highest among all the malignant tumors of male patients, while breast cancer is the top among females. Lung cancer is also the most fatal killer in China.

Compared with 20 years ago, the incidence of lung cancer has increased by more than 100%. Apparently, air pollution should be blamed. Most patients are either very young or very old, including babies of several months old.

Colon and recta cancers have also become common, with the popularity of unhealthy diet.

普大華裔教授周郁再締奈米科技新猷  發明「斷裂引導」 可望推進新工業革命 World Journal宋俊杰)

曾經發明奈米印刷技術的普林斯頓大學電機系華裔教授周郁(Stephen Chou)領導的實驗室,最近發明了「斷裂引導」(Fracture-induced Structuring)奈米製造技術,突破現有技術。

周郁表示,利用該技術製造奈米的原理極為簡單,且可大為降低製造奈米產品的成本。

身為美國國家工程院(The Na-tional Academy of Engineering)院士的周郁認為,隨著原理簡單、成本低廉的「斷裂引導」奈米製造技術普及,將給美國科技工業帶來新動力,而這股新動力將可帶引出「新時代的工業革命」。

周郁領導的實驗室於7月發明該製造技術,並於本月2日發表在「自然奈米技術」(Nature Nan-otechnology)雜誌上。

周郁表示,傳統的奈米製造技術是用一束電子(electron)、離子(ion)或機械尖物(mechanical tip)在物體表面上鐫刻,該刻製過程緩慢,而且僅適用於一平方毫米或者更小的面積上;而可在較大面積上刻製的技術存有缺陷,並且非常昂貴。但他新發明的「斷裂引導」奈米技術,可在很大的面積上鐫刻。

周郁表示,新的「斷裂引導」奈米技術原理很簡單:首先,在硬盤上放上一層聚合物膜(polymer film),然後再放上一個硬盤,就像製作三明治一樣,然後再加熱讓它們黏在一起,再予以分開,當聚合物膜斷裂時,兩個硬盤上就自然形成兩套奈米刻層(nanoscale grating),而且在刻層之間的「節」(period)是聚合物膜的四倍。

他說,該技術和他之前發明的奈米技術具有互補功能。他之前發明的技術可以透過奈米製造模型,大規模生產,但生產該模型非常昂貴,而新發明的「斷裂引導」奈米製造技術,將使得生產該模型的成本大為降低。

周郁說,該奈米技術預期將可能帶來新的工業革命,他說,奈米技術在製造顯示器、偏光片、晶體分子排列上都有重要的應用,沒有奈米技術,很多科技發明都僅止於「構想」(idea)階段而無法具體化。

他說,例如ipod之能流行,就是因為記憶體價格大幅度下降,而奈米技術對降低記憶體的製造成本發揮很重要的作用。

4 bln treat diseases with herbal medicine

According to information released by the World Health Organization, at present there are about four billion people in the world who use herbal medicine to treat their diseases. The number accounts for 80% of the world's total population. Over the next decade, the use of herbal medicine will become popular around the world. More than 70 countries and regions have signed cooperative agreements with China with regard to the use and exploitation of herbal medicine. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has been widely used in over 160 countries and regions, said Zhang Qi, head of the International Cooperation Department under the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangzhou last weekend, the Nanfang Daily reported.

Many countries have their own traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinics. Britain has a population of 50 million people and there are about 3,000 TCM clinics in the country. There are 15 million people living in the Netherlands and the country has 1,600 TCM clinics. Canada has a population of 30 million people and the country has 3,000 TCM clinics. Australia has a population of 19 million people and there are 4,000 TCM clinics in the country. Apart from these, there are many TCM pharmacists in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Although there are a great number of TCM pharmacists in the world, their professional practicing capabilities vary greatly. Some of the TCM doctors actually do not have a certificate.

On September 22, a working committee that deals with the certificate registration and issuing for overseas TCM doctors and pharmacists was established in Guangzhou. The establishment of the working committee was approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and it was attached to the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In future, overseas TCM doctors and pharmacists can apply to the working committee for getting a professional certificate. The professional certificate can distinguish legal doctors from the illegal ones and it can also rate the doctors' practicing level.

The working committee will become a good source for overseas TCM doctors and pharmacists to learn knowledge about TCM and make their profession acknowledged in society.

360 mln Chinese smoke cigarettes

It is reported that there are 360 million people who smoke cigarettes. This number takes up 25% of the world’s smoking population and even greater than total population of the US, the origin of cigarette..

A survey conducted by the Horizon Research in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan, finds that 28.5% of adults in these cities smoke, lower than the national proportion.

Every two in three men smoke, while the proportion among women is only 3.1%. About 31.6% of female smokers in China started smoking no more than 5 years ago, while most of the male smokers have smoked for much longer time.

The proportion of smokers among those who have higher educational levels is lower than those with lower educational levels. Statistics show that only 21.2% of postgraduates smoke, while the proportion of those who have only completed elementary school is 34.5%.

Businesspeople, particularly senior managers, and salespersons tend to smoke more than people doing other jobs.

2007中国海归人才生存调查报告显示:五成海归没有工作经验 就业不易

 

    录用海归的企业认为,海归的不足之处最为突出的是缺乏务实精神,而这严重制约着海归人才的职业发展。越来越多的海归因为在国外留学生活时间越来越短,导致海外工作经验短缺,这也是造成海归人才就业不容易的原因之一。这是慧博研究院日前发布的2007中国海归人才生存调查报告的部分观点。

  五成海归没有工作经验

  海外工作经验少是因为留学时间短。调查中海外留学1-2年的海归最多,占31.91%,其次是3-4年的占26.97%5年及以上占23.03%左右。没有工作经历和做过兼职或短工等非正式工作经历的海归所占比例在一半左右,年龄越小,该年龄阶段中这类比例越大,反映出出国留学人员越来越倾向于在海外学习而回国就业,但由于缺乏工作实践中的亲身体验,而制约了海归顺利找到工作。

  在海外以工作为主的海归占13.16%,多数集中在对日软件开发、非洲和中东地区的建筑工程、中国公司在北美地区的驻外人员上。有近一半的海归从事管理方面的工作;而从事专业技术工作的海归比例为13.49%,显示出海归的职业发展方向与其专业分布较为吻合。另外,26-30岁年龄的海归接近七成已经成为企业的中高管理人员、高级和专家级技术人员或拥有自己的企业,而30岁以上年龄阶段中该比例更是高达八成以上,显示出海归在职业发展上的速度非常惊人。最值得关注的是,同时拥有两年以上海外留学经历和1年以上正式工作经历的海归中,已经在企业中担任中高级管理人员和高级技术人员的比例超过了九成。

  年薪期望超过10万元

  对自己的年薪期待在10万到20万元的海归占到了各个行业总调查人数的50%,其中,房地产建筑行业为55%IT行业为45.9%、金融行业为50%、多元化行业为50%、文化教育传媒行业为76.9%。从行业来看,房地产建筑业、IT业的薪酬最为可观,而在企业性质中,民营企业、上市公司的薪酬差异明显,薪酬幅度波动大,而外商独资的薪酬行情最好,国有/国有控股企业与中外合资企业薪酬水平居中,中外合资企业略高。而企业规模越大,海归的薪酬就越为可观,主要体现在高薪区间增多上。

  海归在求职中,竞争最为激烈的行业是行政类和国际贸易类,而竞争程度最不激烈的职位是技术/产品研发类和销售类。

  调查还显示,超过八成的海归倾向在北京工作,仅选择北京而没有选择其他城市的海归也在五成以上;选择上海的比例也在两成以上,排在第二位;接下来依次是深圳、广州、成都和西安。另外,被海归看好的城市还有大连、青岛、天津、苏州、杭州、沈阳、昆明,部分海归还选择去香港或国外工作。

  合资企业对海归最满意

  录用海归的企业比例超过了七成。从行业来看,金融业、多元化行业对海归使用最为广泛,中外合资企业使用海归的比例为84.21%,而外商独资企业使用海归的比例就上升到了接近九成半。另外,七成民营使用海归的企业比例在逐年加大,尤其是那些民营的上市公司。

  企业对海归的评价中,满意的比例接近一半,也有四成半的企业认为尚可。从行业来看,房地产建筑业、咨询法律财会专业服务业和制造业对海归评价不太高,这些行业对国内环境的熟悉度要求都较高。

外商独资企业对正在使用的海归人才的满意度不到三成,而国有/国有控股超过了六成。中外合资企业对海归的工作表现最为满意,而上市公司对海归则最不满。

高中生赴美读本科 ACTSAT考试的区别要知道

随着美国留学的不断升温,越来越多的中国高中生开始赴美国就读本科院校。为了获取通知书和高额的奖学金,很多学生开始报名参加ACTSAT考试。ACTSAT有啥区别?

 

ACT是什么

 

ACT是美国高中生报考美国大学的标准入学考试,相当于美国的高考,它包括语文和数理。美国的大学既把ACT视为入学条件,又把它作为发放奖学金的主要依据之一。中国考生参加ACT考试后,可直接申请美国大学入学和奖学金,获得美国本土学生的同等待遇。

 

该考试被美国的大学作为最重要的入学成绩依据。目前全世界每年有近200万人次参加美大学考试。ACT的考试成绩被美国3300多所大学、学院及奖金项目采用(包括哈佛、麻省理工、耶鲁大学等所有常春藤名校)。认可ACT考试的国家有美国、加拿大、英国、爱尔兰、澳大利亚、新西兰等英语国家。

 

ACT考试由美国大学测验组织机构 (ACT) 主办。ACT考试均不是单纯的语言考试,而是对学生综合能力的测试。考试重视学生对基础课程的掌握并检查学生一般学术能力,难度贴近高中生。必考科学为四个部分:英语、数学、阅读、科学,全部为选择题,共215道。总分36分,考试时间共175分钟。过去十年中美国本土平均考取20.8,去年美国本土高中生ACT平均分数在20.92005年美国高中毕业生获得ACT满分(36)的比例约为是16000

 

ACTSAT有何区别

 

ACT考试与SAT考试均被称为“美国高考”,它们既是美国大学的入学条件之一,又是大学发放奖学金的主要依据之一及对学生综合能力的测试标准。与SAT不同,ACT考试更像一种学科考试,它更强调考生对课程知识的掌握,同时也考虑到了对考生独立思考和判断能力的测试。从难度上看,ACT考试比SAT更容易一些,尤其对中国的考生来说,选择ACT考试可能更容易在短期内获得相对满意的成绩。因为SAT考试的范围更大,所考内容包括阅读、数学、写作三大部分,而且SAT包括两部分:SAT1SAT2,而SAT2是测试考生的全面思辨能力,是名符其实的拔尖考试。

 

在美国,ACTSAT都是大学录取新生的重要依据。如果高中生要申请美国前50位的顶尖大学,90%以上的美国顶尖名校会要求参考学生的SATACT成绩,而且成绩的高低是决定学生能否得到奖学金的重要参考。在过去,由于SAT设立时间早,在美国被较多的大学认可,而ACT主要在美国中西部的大学中流行。但是,近年来,高速发展的ACT考试已经在美国著名高校中获得承认,其中也包括哈佛、耶鲁这样的顶级名校。ACT考试包含英语、数学、阅读、科学四方面测试。全世界每年有近250万人次参加ACT考试。ACT考试一共包括215道选择填空题,整个考试时间为2小时55分钟。

 

ACT考试每年举行5次,具体时间分别是2月中、4月中、6月初、10月底和12月初。和SAT考试不同的是,学生可以参加多次ACT考试,并且可以选择任何一次分数提供给大学作为入学标准,而参加SAT考试的学生要把所有SAT考试的分数提供给所申请的大学,ACT考试更容易一些,并且问题似乎更加直接。”SATACT考试有实质上的不同,SAT考试是一种智能测试,是为测量学生的推理演绎能力而设计的。而ACT考试更加侧重于课程,对学生所学的四个方面的课程进行测量,包括英语,数学,阅读和科学知识。SAT考试中考生会因不准确的猜想而丢分;ACT考试则不会。新的SAT考试写作文是必须的; 而新的ACT考试写作文为选择性。在上个月的第一次新ACT考试中,不到一半的考生选择了“写作文”这一项。
