The Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis postulates an inverted-U shaped relationship between GDP per capita and various pollutants. Pollutants emission increases up to a certain level as income goes up; after that, it decreases. This paper investigates the relationship between industry pollutants taking industrial sulfur dioxide omission as example, and economic growth by using province-panel data set from 1989 to 2004 in 28 provinces of P. R. China. The result shows that the EKC hypothesis may be supported in the case of industrial sulfur dioxide, and the GDP per capital of turning point is about RMB 13,548 (at 1978 price). Except Shanghai, all the provinces GDP per capital in this study are less than RMB 13,548, indicating the amount of industrial sulfur dioxide emission will be increasing in the near future. To realize sustainable development and pollutants abatement, the central and local government should adopt an integrated strategy to protect environment.

China has pegged its currency to the US dollar (at RMB 8.3 to the dollar) since 1994. The yuan's dollar peg has increased demand for chinese exports, which account for about a third of gross domestic product. The peg has also helped to attract $308 billion in foreign investment. But there has been criticism that China has over the past two years been engaging in protracted, large-scale intervention in one direction in exchange markets. According to many reports, RMB is undervalued by somewhere between 15 and 30% by manipulation. China may not want to float the currency at once, since doing so would have a dramatic and negative effect on the economy. However, there has so far been strong pressure from trading partners including the Unite States, Japan, EU. Considered all these things, China may eventually allow some changes in the Yuan's value. This may come in the form of widening a band of movement for the currency, rather than letting it float freely in the market.

By applying the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM) to obliquely incident for Rubble Mound Breakwater (RMB), wave reflection and transmission the coefficients are studied numerically. The validity of and the present BIEM is confirmed by comparing it with 1)numerical results of the eigenfunction expansion method of Dalrymple et al.(1991), and 2)numerical results of the BIEM of Kojima et al.(1988). Therefore, the characteristics of RMB for obliquely incident waves are investigated according to the variations of the wave period, equivalent linear nondimensional friction coefficient and direction of incident waves. It is revealed that the wave transformations of obliquely incident waves are different from those of normally incident waves.

Phenomena induced by waves, such as overtopping, sediment transport, vibration/fluctuation and destruction of structures are highly influenced by the directionality of wave propagation. These phenomena are often dominated by non-linearity, and so hydraulic model experiments are widely adopted for stability analysis rather than numerical modeling, Thus, stability ofrubblc mound breakwaters(RMB) due to wavc directionality was experimentally investigated in this study. The incident wave angle $30^{\circ}$ was found more risky on the damage rate of RMB under directional regular waves, and the incident wave angle $40^{\circ}$ was found relatively risky under directional irregular waves. These results clarified the wave directionality effect on the stability ofRMB, These facts were found correspondent to the occurrence of the peak between $20^{\circ}$-$40^{\circ}$ with the directional frequency distribution of lIlO maximum water particle velocity.

Gansu, located in the northwestern region, is a typical agricultural province of arid, semiarid in China. The shortage of water resources is the biggest obstacle of Gansu Province's development, and the dry farming water-saving is the eternal theme of Gansu agricultural sustainable development. In recent years, intensify reform in Gansu, has walked out a successful way in the agricultural water-saving. Using the integrated river basin governance as opportunity, the total water-using quantity was regarded as rigidity to retrain, distributed to counties (districts), irrigated areas, towns, associations, groups step by step. Agricultural water price was substantially increased, with the surface water price from about $0.1RMB/m^3$ to more than $0.2 RMB/m^3$, and the ground water from zero to more than $0.1RMB/m^3$. Simultaneously, the difference water prices and over-quota water progression price markup were carried out. The transaction of water rights was encouraged to impel the peasant to establish the consciousness of saving-water. The regulatory documents were formulated to standardize the scope, condition, mode, program etc. of agriculture water-rights transaction, to guarantees the transaction of water rights is carries out in order. The pattern of farming was optimized and adjusted, reducing the high water-consumption crop, increasing economic crops with high benefit and low water-consumption, developing industrialized agricultures such as green house. The relative engineering and measuring facility were comprehensively improved, with the anti-seepage of canal system and the enforcement of dynamo-electric well, developing high-efficient water-saving irrigation and overall metering facilities. The water fine-grained management has realized, and obvious water-saving effect has obtained: water-using rate in the irrigation area by river water has brought up to 0.57 from 0.52, and by well water up to 0.84 from 0.76. Although the water price has increased, the proportion that the water rate expenditure accounted for the cost lasts decline, and the farmers' income has gone up. The peasants express, the used water is few, and it is few to till land, but the income is many, and life is better.

Nowadays, crowdfunding presents a promising development. This research focuses on the influence of platform strategy and market response on the success of crowdfunding from the perspective of the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) theory. Detailed product specifications, crowdfunding difficulty coefficient, vivid advertising video such as introduction and music, and recommendations from relevant figures are all used to depict platform strategy. Meanwhile, we use the number of lovers, followers, comments and 1 RMB backers to measure the level of market response. And thus, we model the impact of platform strategy and market response on crowdfunding success with empirical studies based on 400 samples of observed value. We found firstly that there exist significant positive relations between the total amount of funds pledged and detailed product specification, vivid advertising video, recommendations from relevant figures and the number of 1 RMB backers. Secondly, the crowdfunding difficulty of projects affects negatively, and significantly, the total amount of funds pledged. Thirdly, the influence of the number of lovers and followers on funds pledged is not significant.

Research activities on the fields of marine biotechnology becomes active not only in developing countries but also in Asian countries. Among those countries China recently initiate the national marine biotechnology R&D program. Since 1996, marine biotechnology has been approved to be a subject of the National High Technology Research and Development Program of China as 863 program. In the first five years from 1996 to 2000 and successively in the second five years from 2001 to 2005, Marine Biotechnology R&D 863 program has been funded by Chinese government with 97.5 million RMB and then more than 200 million RMB, respectively. Under this program there are mainly six R&D subjects of marine biotechnology; 1. Breeding engineering, 2. Control of the disease, 3. Production system and culture facilities, 4. Marine drug and bioproducts, 5. Functional genes and genomics, 6. Breeding of the saltresistant plants. In this paper the research activities and results of 863 program were introduced, and from chinese cases we could leam how we plan and perform the marine biotechnology program of Korea in future.

본 논문은 무선 셀룰러 시스템 환경에서 일정구간을 이동하는 지하철, 기차와 같이 규칙적인 이동 패턴을 보이는 운송 매체에 탑승한 사용자들의 이동성을 지원하기 위해 PGLT(Profile­based Group Location Tracking) 기법을 제안한다. 최근 무선 통신 기술의 발전으로 인한 이동 사용자(Mobile Terminal, MT)의 급증은 시그널링 트래픽의 증가로 이어져 결국 위치 관리 비용까지 높아지게 되었다. MT들이 동시에 새로운 등록 영역으로 이동할 때 GLT(Group Location Tracking) 위치 관리 기법에서는 기존 IS­41의 각 사용자들의 개별적인 위치 갱신 요청 대신에 그룹을 이용한 위치 갱신 요청으로써 위치 관리 비용을 줄였다. 그러나 본 논문에서 제안하는 PGLT 기법은 GLT 기법을 향상시킨 기법으로서, 사용자들의 규칙적인 이동 패턴 특성을 살린 프로파일 정보를 이용하여 그룹에 대한 위치 갱신 비용까지도 줄일 수 있다. MSRP­VLR(Mobility Scheduler on Regular Path)과 RMB(Regular path Movement Buffer)를 이용하여 일정구간을 이동하는 TV(Transportation Vehicle)가 위치 갱신 요청을 하면, MSRP­VLR은 이동 경로에 대한 프로파일 정보를 보내어 TV의 RMB에 저장함으로써 그 경로를 이동 시 그룹에 대한 위치 갱신 요청을 할 필요가 없게 된다. 따라서 PGLT 기법은 GLT 기법의 그룹 위치 갱신 비용을 줄임으로써 일정구간을 이동하는 TV에 탑승한 많은 사용자들에 대한 위치 관리 비용을 현저히 줄일 수 있다.

This paper uses Delphi Method and statistics provided by the State Administration of Market Regulation of China, attempts to develop the scale index of language service industry in China. Coupled with practical investigation and theoretical framework of SCP paradigm, a deep analysis on market behavior, market structure, and market performance of the industry have been explored. First, the study indicates that the scale index of Chinese language services industry has experienced an upward trend from 10.481million RMB in 2008 to 351.403 million RMB in 2017. Second, majority of language services enterprises are situated in Chinese coastal provinces and there are variations in demand for language services. Third, the standardization of language services are minimal while most of the talents involve a single discipline background. Fourth, most enterprises utilize language tools while there is lack of technological innovation for utilization of language resources and enhancement of service quality. The author mainly suggests four strategies which include: cultivating multilingual services, strengthening the development of industrial informatization and technical innovation, and optimizing the industrial talents structure while also adjusting for industrial distribution and regional coordination, which propose the meaningful implications for the development of language service industry in China.

This study examined the state of awareness, consumption, and purchasing behavior of Kimchi among Chinese adults in Beijing and Shanghai. Two-hundred Chinese individuals in Beijing and Shanghai were included as study subjects. The subjects selected "good Kimchi for Chinese taste" as excellent Kimchi; however, only 13% of the subjects selected "Kimchi from Korea is excellent." The first sites of Kimchi consumption in China included "home" (59.0%) and "restaurants" (40.0%) in Beijing and "restaurants" (57.0%) and "home" (32.0%) in Shanghai. Chinese people primarily purchase 400g pouches of Kimchi more than once a month, and the average price of Kimchi is RMB 12.59 in Beijing and RMB 18.32 in Shanghai. These results suggest that the interest in Kimchi varieties and the countries producing it differ among Chinese consumers depending on the region. Therefore, a sensory evaluation of Kimchi is essential to determine the preferred flavor of Kimchi among Chinese individuals and to promote the consumption of traditional Korean Kimchi.
