The document summarizes China's renewable energy resources, with a focus on wind power. It outlines that China has abundant wind resources, especially in northern and coastal areas, and details the country's growing wind power industry. As of 2003, China had over 500MW of installed wind capacity from over 1000 turbines across 40 wind farms. It also discusses China's targets to further develop its wind, biomass, and solar industries and the policies and incentives in place to support renewable energy growth.

The document outlines a project plan between Finland, the US, and China to develop renewable energy cooperation and business opportunities. The project aims to link Finnish renewable energy stakeholders with US companies pursuing projects in China's energy sector. This will be done by identifying key US-China clean energy initiatives and stakeholders, researching their plans and supply chains, and facilitating partnerships between Finnish and US-China entities. The project schedule involves research, status meetings with Finnish organizations in the US and China, and delivering a final report on opportunities for Finnish involvement in US-China clean energy cooperation and markets.
1) The document discusses the impact of information technology (IT) investments on productivity growth in the 1990s and 2000s.
2) It finds that while IT contributed to productivity acceleration, the size of its contribution is debated, as many expensive IT projects failed to generate benefits.
3) IT's impact varies significantly across industries and depends strongly on accompanying business process innovations tailored to each sector's operations. Successful IT applications evolved with complementary organizational changes.

Happy Valley in Beijing, China is a 560,000 square meter theme park opened in July 2006. It consists of six themed zones depicting cultures from around the world: Wild Fjord, Atlantis, the Lost Maya Kingdom, Aegean Harbor, Shangri-La, and Ants Kingdom. Each zone features rides and attractions based on its cultural theme. The park also hosts various festivals celebrating things like exercise, magic, water splashing, and Chinese Spring Festival through performances and activities.
Isae 2011 A HYBRID CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR KEEPING CONSTANT VOLTAGE AND CURREN...Pandu Sandi Pratama
This document summarizes a presentation on modeling and control of a gas metal arc welding (GMAW) system. [1] A proportional controller is proposed to maintain constant output welding voltage for the GMAW power supply. [2] A fuzzy-sliding mode controller is proposed for the wire feeding unit to keep the output welding current constant by adjusting the electrode feed rate. [3] Simulation results show the hybrid controller using these two controllers achieves better performance than a conventional PID controller in terms of rise time, settling time, and steady state error of the output current.
China’s emergence in the global wind power industryYibo Yang
The document discusses China's emergence as a global player in the wind power industry through technology transfer and local manufacturing. It analyzes different models of technology development used by foreign and domestic wind turbine manufacturers operating in China. It also examines the Chinese government policies that promote wind power and influence manufacturers' technology strategies. Current policies focus on local content requirements rather than technology transfer, but recommendations include supporting Chinese innovation through testing, certification and informal knowledge sharing.
【Original】Optimization of industrial distribution based on small world networksYibo Yang
This document discusses optimization of industrial distribution networks based on small-world network models. It provides an overview of small-world networks and how they can be applied to industrial distribution. As a case study, it analyzes the industrial network structure in Chaoyang District, Beijing, looking specifically at high-tech manufacturing and software services industries. Key aspects analyzed include network structure, node characteristics, critical chains, and buffering. Small sub-networks are identified within the larger industrial network that demonstrate small-world network properties of local clustering and short path lengths.

China energy and environmental challengesYibo Yang
- China faces enormous challenges in meeting its growing energy demand while addressing serious environmental and health impacts from air pollution. Electricity demand is growing at 15% annually while GDP grows at 10% per year.
- China's policies emphasize energy efficiency and environmental protection but it still lags targets to reduce energy intensity and emissions by 2010. New policies promote energy efficiency power plants, differential pricing, and environmental dispatch.
- China is considering how to better integrate energy and environmental policies and structure the power sector to address climate change, similar to issues facing other countries. Regulators from the US will visit to discuss these challenges.

Machine algorithms are great for tasks that require processing of large amounts of objective and structured data. However, they have difficulty with tasks that are relatively simple for skilled humans – For example, interpreting concepts in an image, or discerning tone in language, ..etc. Yet, there is a class of problems that call for precisely the combination of these tasks. This concept of human-assisted algorithmic processing is not new. It is inherent to many processes that we are familiar with. However, there are very few systems that embrace humans and machines as two resources within a single system. Instead, they are often independent and non-collaborating agents. In this talk, we explain how a single task-processing system can be architected to use diverse resources: be they human or machine. Such a system not only better utilizes each resource, but also produces better results and gets better with experience.
