Significant Breakthrough in Industrial Test of the "Methanol to Olefins" Process Developed by Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences

A process of ＂Methanol or Dimethylether to Olefins＂ developed by Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics （DICP）, designated as the DMTO process, has attained great success in industrial scaling up testing. DICP, by collaborating with the Xinxing Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. of Shaanxi Province and the Luoyang Petrochemical Engineering Co. of the SINOPEC Group, operated successfully a 50t（methanol）/d unit for the conversion of methanol to lower olefins, with a methanol conversion of close to 100%, and a selectivity to lower olefins（ethylene, propylene and butylenes） of higher than 90%. On 23rd August, the industrial test project has passed a state appraisal. The experts of the Appraisal Group, headed by Prof. YUAN Qingtang, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, drew the conclusions that the DMTO process, by utilizing a proprietary SAPO-34 catalyst system and a recycling fluidized bed reaction system for the production of lower olefins from methanol, is the first unit in the world having a capacity of producing nearly ten thousand tons lower olefins per year. The technological level of the industrial test is at a leading position internationally. This accomplishment will provide a sound base for the subsequent commercialization of the DMTO process.

Yunnan snub-nosed monkey research of the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

At the beginning of 2016, I returned to the Baima Snow Mountain with a CC＇I-V film crew. As the birth place of the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, Baima Snow Mountain in northwest Yunnan belongs to the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet and Yunnan-Guizhou plateaus, and is regarded as the most magnificent of the Yunling Mountains. Revisiting my old haunt, I cannot help but recall the international snub-nosed monkey research launched by the Kunming Institute of Zoology （KIZ） so many years ago.

Developing institutional repositories network:Taking IR Grid at Chinese Academy of Sciences as an example

This paper introduces the current practice of building a network of institutional repositories(IRs) at Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS), which is named CAS IR Grid.National Science Library(NSL) of CAS plays a leading role in the construction, promotion and implementation of CAS IR Grid. It aims to promote each institute of CAS to build IR of its own, and finally form the IR network of CAS institutes. NSL's experience is introduced in coordinating and supporting institutes' building of their respective IRs and promoting IR services by adopting collaborative and progressive development strategies. Achievements made during the development of CAS IR Grid are described and challenges for its future development are discussed. The authors aim to provide best practices for developing a network of institutional repositories in research institute settings, which can serve as a practical reference to other institutions engaged in the similar task.

Effects of Diazepam on Rat Cholinesterase andMembrane Stability of Red Cell in vitro

The results confirmed that diazepam inhibits the cholinesterase in rat serum,red cell,corpus striatum and diaphragm in vitro,that the higher the diazepam concentration,the stronger the cholinesterase inhibition,and that diazepam is a reversible inhibitor to acetylcholinesterase and diazepam has a stabilizing action on red cell membranes.The role of these effects of diazepam in the treatment of organic phosphate poisoning is discussed

Being the Pioneer of Life Sciences in China——Introduction to Beijing Genomics Institute

The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) wasofficially founded in December 2003. Its predecessor, Beijing Huada Genomics Research Center, haspresented significant contributions to the development of life sciences in China by its excellentscientific innovations and achievements in the last five years. From the participation ofInternational Human Genome Project (HGP) to the independent completion of the whole-genome draft andfine maps of Chinese super hybrid rice genome, from the porcine genome research cooperated withDenmark to the international chicken genome research, and from the silkworm genome projectaccomplished together with The Southwest Agriculture University of China to the great contributionsto the national campaign against SARS, all these facts illustrate that BGI not only has afirst-class scientific research power in the world but also is full of devotion to the flourish ofscience and nation. During these years, we have upheld the strategy of ''Advance through projects,strive for innovation, grow through cooperation'', in the aim of making BGI as one of the pioneers ofCAS climbing the peak of life sciences in the world.

To be the best in marine sciences

Every institute in the world has its own history,culture,and legacy that show its unique characters.As an oldest,largest,and one of the most advanced institute in marine sciences in China,the Institute of Oceanology,Chinese Academy of Sciences(IOCAS)was established by her founders in 1950 and cherished by her successors ever since.IOCAS has undertaken her own development roadmap over the last seventy years.Many people know its history,achievements,and contributions in marine sciences,but few would know the stories behind the success.This paper intends to reveal the driven factors pushing the institute forward in the past,present,and future.

喀斯特山区洼地表层土壤水分的时空变异

研究用地统计学方法在桂西北典型喀斯特洼地研究了表层土壤水分(0～15cm)的时空变异特征及其分布格局。结果表明在取样时段内洼地表层土壤水分总体不高(15.0%～27.5%),呈现弱至中等变异特征,并且中等变异一般与含水量较低相对应。洼地表层土壤水分的半变异函数参数及其影响因素产生一定的季节变化;块金值、基台值和变程的变化范围分别是0.01～2.74,2.04～7.52和6.0～36.8。块金值和基台值的变化大致与平均含水量呈相反变化趋势;变程在采样初期和中期与土壤水分的变化趋势相反,在后期变化趋势相同,结果说明平均含水量对表层土壤水分的时空变异具有持续主导作用,结合研究目标可以有效指导后续的土壤采样。在剔除趋势效应后,表层土壤水分呈明显的斑块或条带状分布,样块土壤水分不仅具有空间分布的差异而且具有明显季节变化,其中旱、雨季的土壤水分分布特征明显不同。在喀斯特山区特殊地貌中,土壤平均含水量、地形、微地貌(石丛)和人为管理等因素是造成洼地表层土壤水分时空变异及其分布差异的主要影响因素。
