In 1998, the Qingdao Twin Registry was initiated as the main part of the Chinese National Twin Registry. By 2005, a total of 10,655 twin pairs had been recruited. Since then new twin cohorts have been sampled, with one longitudinal cohort of adolescent twins selected to explore determinants of metabolic disorders and health behaviors during puberty and young adulthood. Adult twins have been sam...

In China, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) problems are growing fast. The annual waste generation increasing almost 10% per year and the population of municipalities is expanding, but sanitary landfill and recycling facilities are still rare to see. With rapid economic development, it is even harder to achieve waste reduction, reuse and recycling than developed countries which have significantly med...

as the main actor of implementing energy saving and pollution abatement, corporations and their response to the policy are studied in this paper. we find that corporate properties as scale, ownership, current environmental performance on energy using and pollution, target market and listed situation have impact on the corporate responding conduct and progress. especially, current environmental ...

China Abstract This work is concerned with the Dirichlet initial boundary problem for a semilinear viscoelastic wave system with nonlinear weak damping and source terms. For nonincreasing positive functions g and h, we show the finite time blow-up of some solutions whose initial data hav...
