中国馆,建筑与国家身份

2010世博会中国馆建筑是国家形象的展现,这样的象征设计有其历史渊源。论文通过对"中国建筑"特征认知及形式"建构"之历史过程的回溯,反映中西文化交流、碰撞在(民族)国家身份认同中的影响作用,以揭示建筑的民族独特性既是在文化差异中被识别的,也是在融入时代发展之进程中被诠释的,以此构筑阅读2010中国馆建筑设计的观念和形式框架。

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms: Magnetic resonance imaging features according to grade and stage

AIMTo describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) according to their grade and tumor-nodes-metastases stage by comparing them to histopathology and to determine the accuracy of MR imaging features in predicting their biological behavior.METHODSThis study was approved by our institutional review board; requirement for informed patient consent was waived due to the retrospective nature of the study. Preoperative MR examinations of 55 PanNEN patients (29 men, 26 women; mean age of 57.6 years, range 21-83 years) performed between June 2013 and December 2015 were reviewed. Qualitative and quantitative features were compared between tumor grades and stages determined by histopathological analysis.RESULTSIll defined margins were more common in G2-3 and stage III-IV PanNENs than in G1 and low-stage tumors (P < 0.001); this feature had high specificity in the identification of G2-3 and stage III-IV tumors (90.3% and 96%, 95%CI: 73.1-97.5 and 77.7-99.8). The mean apparent diffusion coefficient value was significantly lower in G2-3 and stage III-IV lesions compared to well differentiated and low-stage tumors (1.09 × 10-3 mm2/s vs 1.45 × 10-3 mm2/s and 1.10 × 10-3 mm2/s vs 1.53 × 10-3 mm2/s, P = 0.003 and 0.001). Receiving operator characteristic analysis determined optimal cut-offs of 1.21 and 1.28 × 10-3 mm2/s for the identification of G2-3 and stage III-IV tumors, with sensitivity and specificity values of 70.8/80.7% and 64.5/64% (95%CI: 48.7-86.6/60-92.7 and 45.4-80.2/42.6-81.3).CONCLUSIONMR features of PanNENs vary according to their grade of differentiation and their stage at diagnosis and could predict the biological behavior of these tumors.

China Actively Made Application to Hold 2010 World Fair

1. Application Procedure of 2010 World FairOn May 2, 2001, China, the first country, submitted formally an application for holding 2010 Shanghai World Fair to theBureau of International Exhibition (BIE). There were China, Russia, ROK, Poland, Mexico and Argentina (Afterwards ArgentinaWithdrew) formally submitting applications. The deadline for application is six months after the application was formally submittedby the first country. Then BIE sent investigation delegation to investigate various countries that made applications, and submittedreports to the Executive Commission and General Assembly. China stated reports at BIE 129th, 130th and 131st General Assembliesin June and November 2001 and July 2002 respectively. In December 2002, China stated the last report at BIE 132nd GeneralAssembly.

Standardization Contributes to preparation for Expo 2010 Shanghai

The task of standardization includes the formulation, organization, and supervision of standards, as well as the implementation of those standards. This paper outlines how standardization was illustrated, analyzed, and brought forward developmentally, while emphasizing implementation and supervision in accordance with the target and scope of the Expo 2010 Shanghai China Informatization.

The Shanghai Corporate Pavilion design for World Expo in Shanghai 2010

New technologies are becoming today’s basic building blocks.This paper presents a case study of the Shanghai Corporate Pavilion for the 2010World Expo in Shanghai.From the shape of the building to the use of solar energy,the Shanghai Corporate Pavilion incorporates the state-of-art technologies to convey the spirit of the architecture.It addresses the pressing issue of energy,environment,and sustainability and reflects the spirit of Shanghai as a historically progressive yet still fast moving international metropolis.

Analysis of air quality variability in Shanghai using AOD and API data in the recent decade

We use the aerosol optical depth （AOD） measured by the moderate resolution imaging spectrometer （MOD1S） onboard the Terra satellite, air pollution index （API） daily data measured by the Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center （SEMC）, and the ensemble empirical mode decomposition （EEMD） method to analyze the air quality variability in Shanghai in the recent decade. The results indicate that a trend with amplitude of 1.0 is a dominant component for the AOD variability in the recent decade. During the World Expo 2010, the average AOD level reduced 30% in comparison to the long-term trend. Two dominant annual components decreased 80% and 100%. This implies that the air quality in Shanghai was remarkably improved, and environmental initiatives and comprehensive actions for effective. AOD and API reducing air pollution are variability analysis results indicate that semi-annual and annual signals are dominant components implying that the monsoon weather is a dominant factor in modulating the AOD and API variability. The variability of AOD and API in selected districts located in both downtown and suburban areas shows similar trends; i.e., in 2000 the AOD began a monotonic increase, reached the maxima around 2006, then monotonically decreased to 2011 and from around 2006 the API started to decrease till 2011. This indicates that the air quality in the entire Shanghai area, whether urban or suburban areas, has remarkably been improved. The AOD improved degrees （IDS） in all the selected districts are （8.6±1.9）%, and API IDS are （9.2±7.1）%, ranging from a minimum value of 1.5% for Putuo District to a maximum value of 22% for Xuhui District.
