China faces a major challenge in managing its scarce water resources to sustain economic growth in the years ahead. This report provides an overview of China’s water scarcity situation, assesses the policy and institutional requirements for addressing it, and recommends key areas for strengthening and reform. The issues covered in the report are water governance, water rights, water pricing and affordability, watershed ecological compensation, water pollution control, and emergency prevention. The report’s recommendations identify the key measures needed to effectively address thes

Based on extensive original economic analysis, Chen examines key questions relating to corporate governance in China, including the relationship between ownership structure and corporate performance, the determinants of capital structure, and the nature of contemporary governance structures. It concludes that corporate performance is positively related to ownership concentration, but negatively related to state ownership, and that contemporary corporate governance structures are heavily dependent on previous structures in the centrally-planned economy and on the path of transition to the marke

Convective flow in the liquid phase is always present in a realistic process of freezing and melting and may significantly affect the dynamics and results of the process. The study of the interplay of growth and convection flow during the solidification has been an important subject in the broad fields of materials science, condensed matter physics, fluid physics, micro-gravity science, etc. The present book is concerned with the dynamics of free dendritic growth with convective flow in the melt. It systematically presents the results obtained in terms of a unified asymptotic approach

From Mi Jian, the highly acclaimed Chinese dissident, comes a satirical novel about the absurdities of life in a post-Tiananmen China.Two men meet for dinner each week. Over the course of one of these drunken evenings, the writer recounts the stories he would write, had he the courage: a young man buys an old kiln and opens a private crematorium, delighting in his ability to harass the corpses of police officers and Party secretaries, while swooning to banned Western music; a heartbroken actress performs a public suicide by stepping into the jaws of a wild tiger, watched nonchalantly by her ex

Sensory discriminative analysis forms a fundamental type of methodology and is used widely in sensory and consumer research. Sensory Discrimination Tests and Measurements: Statistical Principles, Procedures and Tables provides a comprehensive discussion of sensory discriminative analysis from a statistical perspective. A wide variety of test and measurement methods, which were developed during the past decades and scattered in various statistical and non-statistical journals, are included in the book. The book gives a unified picture of the state of the subject and reflects some features of ad

Dai Wei, a PhD student and protestor in Tiananmen Square in June 1989, was caught by a soldier’s bullet and fell into a deep coma. But as the millennium draws near, he begins to emerge from unconsciousness, and to sense the massive changes in his country. At once a powerful allegory of a rising China, and a seminal story of the Tiananmen Square protests, Beijing Coma is Ma Jian’s masterpiece. Ma Jian was born in Qingdao, China, in 1953. He worked as a watch—mender’s apprentice, a painter of propaganda boards, and a photojournalist. At the age of thirty, he le
