China developed small hydropower (SHP) with its own resources instead of importing advanced technology from other countries. SHP has been instrumental in rural electrification. In 1997, SHP accounted for 28.6% of whole exploitable hydro energy in China. The peculiarities of SHP of China are:1. Decentralized approach for SHP development with county as basic unit,2. Special policies and strategies adopted- self construction, self management and self consumption- rural hydropower development fund set up - levy of 2 cents of each kWh- electricity generates electricity policy3. Various Channels of investment are mobilizedTo exploit China's experience in SHP the International Network on Small Hydropower (IN-SHP) was established in Hangzhou, China.Hydro Nepal: Journal of Water, Energy and Environment Issue No. 4, January, 2009 Page 11-14

China is endowed with rich rural hydropower. According to the latest National Rural Water Resources Survey, the technically feasible potential amounts to 128GW, mainly distributed in the central and west part of China as well as those ethic regions, which are less developed but more populated. With the support of the Chinese government’s policy of ‘Self Construction, Self Management and Self Utilization’, Small Hydropower development has been scaled up. Thanks to the Small Hydropower (SHP) development and the grid construction, nowadays about one half of the territory, one third of the counties and 300 million rural population in China have access to electricity. The practice of China to realize rural electrification through SHP has attracted the attention of the world community including the United Nations. In future, China will continue to enhance the rural hydropower development and the environmental protection under the framework of the Renewable Energy Master Plan. Its experiences and technology could be learned by other developing countries.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hn.v9i0.7063 Hydro Nepal Vol.9 July 2011 12-14

This paper provides insight on hydropower development in general and mini-scale hydropower in particular, for rural electrification in Nepal. It also analyses the opportunities and challenges in the development of mini-scale hydropower to supply reliable electricity in remote rural areas of the country as an aid to poverty reduction and economic progress.

SummaryThe European Commission is an increasingly important source of funding for international research projects and is due to announce its Framework 5 program early in 1999. The Outcomes of Depression International Network (ODIN), funded from the current EC Biomed 2 program, is a case study in European academic co-operation. Its organization has three key elements. First, engaging the principal investigators: this has involved identifying potential partners, ensuring reciprocity of interests, effective co-ordination, `dividing the spoils' in advance, and setting up good personal and electronic communication systems. Second, an esprit de corps has been created amongst the researchers, maintaining contact and consistency, and promoting higher degrees. Third, ongoing problems including difficulties in negotiations with the EC, divergence of detailed study methods, and isolation and demoralization amongst researchers, have been addressed. ODIN may provide a useful model for researchers wishing to set up international collaborative groups.

The Laser Plasma Division at the Centre for Advanced Technology is engaged in a variety of research and development activities on laser-plasma interaction with special emphasis on laser-matter interaction at ultra-high intensities. An important aspect of our future work is studies in laser-plasma based acceleration using an elaborate infrastructural set-up of ultra-fast laser and plasma diagnostic systems and recently acquired 10TW, 50fs Ti :Sapphire laser system. This paper presents outline of the planned studies in this field.

In most cases, in genetic breeding of Arabica coffee, plot size is defined in an empirical manner. It is often based only on the experience of the breeders and the availability of resources, potentially leading to a reduction in precision. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the size of the experimental plot for evaluation of coffee yield. We evaluated two experiments for validation of cultivars with 12 treatments set up in a randomized complete block design with three replicates and plots composed of 50 plants. Each plant was considered as a basic unit. Estimates of ideal plot size were made by maximum curvature of the coefficient of variation, linear-plateau segmented model and by the resampling methods. We discussed the variations in the parameter estimates for different plot sizes. Divergence was seen among the plot sizes estimated by the different methodologies. Increasing the number of plants per plot led to a higher experimental precision to the point that the increase was no longer significant. The plot size recommended for evaluating coffee production is from seven to 19 plants.

Measurement of human posture and movement is an important area of research in the bioengineering and rehabilitation fields. Various attempts have been initiated for different clinical application goals, such as diagnosis of pathological posture and movements, assessment of pre- and post-treatment efficacy and comparison of different treatment protocols. Image-based methods for measurements of human posture and movements have been developed, such as the photogrammetry, optoelectric technique and video analysis. However, it is found that these methods are complicated to set up, time-consuming to operate and could only be applied in laboratory environments. Electronic sensors and systems with advanced technology, namely accelerometer, gyroscope, flexible angular sensor, electromagnetic tracking system and sensing fabrics, have been developed and applied to solve the relevant application problems of the image-based methods. Nonetheless, other problems for using these electronic sensors emerged, including the environment influence and signal extraction difficulties. Further development of these electronic sensors and measurement methods could enhance their clinical applications in institutional as well as community levels. This article reviews the possible applications of these electronic sensors and systems, and precautions of their applications in analysis of human posture and movement. Such information would help researchers and clinicians in selecting and developing the most appropriate measurement techniques of using the electronic sensors for clinical applications of human posture and movement analysis.

This article analysis the current situation of the virtual construction in university, which information non-sharing, poor safety and difficult management. Aiming at data diversification and the difference between platform, develop tools and system, making every network teaching resources system as an “information islet”, thus cause the disperse and independence of resources and data, integrate each resources system effectively by looking for a service governance structure. We proposed management system and method for private universities of long-term development. The main research is to set up the unified authentication system which can complete unified authentication and authority and administer. Using the virtual server technology, Information Office will set up a virtual campus portal platform with unified planning and concentration deployment, which is simple operation, advanced technology, safe and reliable, to realize unified management and guarantee the information resources interoperability and consistency.
