Analysis of the Books Issued by Yadong Library, Published by Peking University Publishing Department: Taking Several Bibliography Advertisements Carried in Newspapers and Magazines From 1919-1922 as Examples

Based on several bibliographic advertisements carried in newspapers and magazines from 1919 to 1922 for books published by Peking University Publishing Department,and issued by Yadong Library,the paper analyzes the characteristics of the books published by Peking University Publishing Department during this period,and points out that Yadong Library entered its golden period of development due to move from the alley to the main road and obtain the management rights of the books published by Peking University Publishing Department.

Preface to the special issue on seismotectonics of Asia: Progress in seismotectonic studies at Peking University

Seismotectonics is one of the new research areas of seismology with its main focus on studying the detailed seismic structure of lithosphere and upper mantle using seismic records, particularly the records collected at portable seismic arrays. Development of new seismic methods utilizing seismic arrays such as receiver functions, SKS-splitting analysis, body- and surface-wave tomography, and recently ambient noise tomography （Langston, 1977; Dueker and Sheehan, 1997;

Medical Reform Should Follow Market Rules——Exclusive interview with Professor Hai Wen,Vice President of Peking University

Hai Wen, economist and vice president of Peking University, has for many years been involved in in-depth investigation and research of China's medical reform, earning a reputation as one of the foremost economists in the field of medical reform. However, in the recent debate on medical reform policy, Hai Wen deliberately decided to keep a low profile. In his view, some of the ideas coming out of academic circles these days are "too short-sighted and political-motivated." During this interview, he talks about this recent round of medical reform debate, its challenges, and prospects for future reform.

Peking University Campus:From Ruined Garden to Yan Yuan

The current location of Peking University used to be the campus of Yenching University which was called Yan Yuan. It is situated in the northwestern suburb of Beijing, neighboring the well-known Qing-Dynasty imperial resorts "Summer Palace" and "Fragrant Hill" and the celebrated Tsinghua University.With the naturally endowed landscape, the northwest of Beijing became famous as ideal scenic resorts as early as 800 years ago. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, a cluster of imperial and private gardens were built on the site of

My Experience at Peking University

The Life of a human being is guided by his destiny, where "dreams" constitute the long and unforeseeable road for his day-today accomplishments. The tremendous secret in following this "road" is that we know what we did before, we discover what we will do today, but we have no idea what we will be harvesting tomorrow from what we have done and are doing.Peking University (PKU) is a part of my "road" in life. It

United with the Countrymen:Folklore Studies at Peking University,1918-26

Late nineteenth and early twentieth century China faced a grave national crisis resulting from intense foreign pressure and a rigid political system that was incapable of adapting to the challenges of the modern world.China's decline did,however,lead to a wave of nationalism that swept across Chinese society.Set against this backdrop,a new generation of patriotically minded intellectuals,one with relatively broad exposure to Western thinking and academic methods,turned its focus to enlightening the oppressed masses as a means of bringing about national salvation.These intellectuals pursued this forward-looking aim by looking to the past for inspiration.More specifically,they looked to folk culture as a means of connecting with the common people and weaving together a new discourse that promoted national unity.Under these circumstances,a group of professors at Peking University,including Zhou Zuoren,Liu Fu,and Gu Jiegang,began to search for vernacular works in folk culture.This article examines folklore studies at Peking University expanding from folksongs to folk customs and other forms of folk literature.It focuses on early folklorists’activities,folklore organizations,and primary publications.Under the university’s influence,folklore studies appeared in various newspapers and other research institutions in Beijing and Shanghai in rapid succession.

Bridging the Unbridged: A Case Study of a U.S. University’s Study Abroad Program in Beijing

Purpose:Studying abroad is an importantway for universities tocultivate talent with international vision and global competitiveness.Based on its analysis of a U.S.university’s study in China program,this study provides policy recommendations to promote the overseas study and exchange ofU.S.students inChina.Design/Approach/Methods:This study examines the Beijing Overseas Learning Program of L University to examine the actual operations of a study abroad program in China.More specifically,this study examines the cooperative institution where the U.S.study program is located in China to analyze the operation mechanism and underlying logical framework of the program.Findings:This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the logical factors as well as internal and external reasons behind U.S.students’decisions to study in China.This study demonstrates that the“peer factor”has a decisive influence on students’decisions to study in China.Originality/Value:Study abroad programs constitute an integral part of China’s initiatives to enhance people-to-people exchanges with other countries.This study improves our understanding of the practical dynamics of study abroad programs in China,thereby enhancing abilities to attract U.S.students to study in China.

Reduced representation genome sequencing reveals patterns of genetic diversity and selection in apple

Identifying DNA sequence variations is a fundamental step towards deciphering the genetic basis of traits of interest. Here, a total of 20 cultivated and lo wild apples were genotyped using specific-locus ampli- fied fragment sequencing, and 39,635 single nucleotide polymorphisms with no missing genotypes and evenly distributed along the genome were selected to investi- gate patterns of genome-wide genetic variations between cultivated and wild apples. Overall, wild apples displayed higher levels of genetic diversity than culti- vated apples. Linkage disequilibrium （LD） decays were observed quite rapidly in cultivated and wild apples, with an r2-value below 0.2 at 440 and 280 bp, respectively. Moreover, bidirectional gene flow and different distribu- tion patterns of LD blocks were detected betweendomesticated and wild apples. Most LD blocks unique to cultivated apples were located within QTL regions controlling fruit quality, thus suggesting that fruit quality had probably undergone selection during apple domes- tication. The genome of the earliest cultivated apple in China, Nai, was highly similar to that of Malus sieversii, and contained a small portion of genetic material from other wild apple species. This suggested that introgres- sion could have been an important driving force during initial domestication of apple. These findings will facilitate future breeding and genetic dissection of complex traits in apple.
