Re-measuring Status of China＇s High-Tech Industries in International Division of Labor： Applying a Non-Competitive Input-Output Model

Based on a refined ＂non-competitive input-output model,＂ this paper proposes a new framework for analyzing the status of a country＇s high-tech industries in the international division of labor, i.e. calculates the index of＂ weighted value-added productivity ＂ by compiling non-competitive input-output tables which distinguish high-tech industries from traditional industries. The new method effectively avoids ＂statistical illusion＂ which stems from a biased focus on gross exports under intra-product specialization. The empirical study shows that since 1995, the status of China＇s high-tech industries has grown quickly as a result of enhanced labor productivity, but still lags behind those of major developed countries. In addition, the study also suggests that the status of China＇s high-tech industries has been over-estimated using the traditional gross export statistical method.

Medium-Pressure Hydro-upgrading (MHUG) Technology for Producing Clean Diesel Fuel

Abstract： This article introduces the development and application of the medium-pressure hydro-upgrading （MHUG） tech- nology developed by the Research Institute of Petroleum Processing （RIPP）. The MHUG technology based on the chemistry of diesel hydro-upgrading reactions has the advantages of flexible product slate and excellent product quality that can in- crease the cetane rating of diesel fuel up to more than 15 units. The hydrotreating and hydro-upgrading catalysts associated with the MHUG technology have outstanding performance to meet the demand of MHUG technology for hydro-saturation and selective ring-opening of aromatic rings. New MHUG process flow scheme can further increase the yield and selectivity of target products. Commercial application of multiple MHUG units has revealed that the MHUG technology designated for clean diesel production features good feedstock adaptability and operating stability.

Cloud Computing as Area of Modem Industry

Cloud computing is a new vision about the needs of information technology （IT）. It provides a comprehensive concept for building a homogeneous environment through services offered in the cloud Software-as-a-Service （SaaS）, Platform-as-a-Service （PaaS）, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service （IaaS）. Cloud computing is location-independent computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid. Cloud computing is computing paradigm that is driven by economies of scale, in which a set of dynamically-scalable resources such as servers, storages, platforms, and services are delivered on demand to the customers over the interuet. ＂Cloud computing is a continuation of the direction the industry has been going for the last several years in terms of using shared and elastically scalable computing resources,＂ says Rex Wang1, VP of Product Marketing at Oracle, who spoke at the Gartner Data Center Conference, in January 2011. Cloud computing refers to dynamic provision of virtual distributed computational resources on demand via a computer network. Cloud computing is a new high technology industry that possesses a number of advantages over existing business practices： a reduction of expenses, technical staff, and efforts of the end users.

Discussion on Existing Problems and the Development Trend of Electrical Automation Monitoring System

With the continuous improvement of industrial automation in our country and the use of high technology, promoted the scientific content of traditional industry. The development of electric automation control system inevitably turn towards a systematic, comprehensive development direction. This article first analyze the present problems in electrical automation monitoring system, analyzes its future development trends, so as to provide some reference for the effective application of electrical automation in the future monitoring system, fundamentally realize the resources sharing.

China＇s Industrial Competitiveness and Evolving Trends on the World Market--- Analysis Based on Commodities Export Data

On the basis of classification of technology content for export goods＇, this＇ paper employs the latest trade statistics to examine the situation and evolving trend of China＇s industrial international competitiveness. Results indicate that.＂ （1） ranked by the order of low-, medium- and high-technology content, international competitiveness of China＇s industrial manufactured products is in a U-shaped distribution pattern; （2） distance between China＇s export advantage products and products with potentials is relatively small, which provides favorable micro-basis for steady transformation of export structure; （3） medium- and high-technology manufactured products including machinery and transport equipment will lead the upgrade of China＇s export,＂ and （4） countries in south Europe, transitional countries of the Central and Eastern Europe, and lndia will challenge China＇s leading position in low-technology products; China will compete with advanced countries of Europe in the area of medium-technology manufactured products and needs to catch up with and overtake the United States, and the developed economies in Europe and East Asia in the area of high-technology manufactured products. In order to enhance China＇s industrial international competitiveness, the government should pay great attention to the issue of the lack of competitiveness and low product density of medium-technology manufactured products, objectively view the dual effect of labor-intensive manufactured products in the upgrade of China＇s export structure, timely optimize policy portfolio for high-technology industries and give the highest priority to climbing up the value chain.
