The study empirically tests the results by applying different panel data approaches to the study of telecommunications infrastructure in regional economic growth across China. The pattern of regional economic growth across 29 regions in China from
Regional features of the temperature trend in China based on Empirical Mode Decomposition
China ; Climatic trend ; Climatic variability ; Regional climate ; Temperature
By the Empirical Mode Decomposition method, the AA. analyzed the observed monthly average temperature in more than 700 stations from 1951-2001 over China. Simultaneously, the temperature variability of each station is calculated by this method
, and classification chart of long term trend and temperature variability distributing chart of China are obtained, supported by GIS. Results and discussion.

China is today´s leading global provider of plagiarized products, with growing international pressure to improve efforts on protecting intellectual property. For now more than two decades, the Chinese economy has been importing other countries´ know
. Under this policy, China proposed by becoming the manufacturing center of the world; but it also created an economy highly dependent on foreign technology. - (IfL)

This paper discusses with the aid of GIS technology the whole trend and spatio-temporal characteristics of arable land losing and land occupation for construction in the coastal area of China over the last decade, analyzes the dominant factors
and mechanisms of land-use change, and attempts to provide some suggestions for the decision-making of optimal land use to promote urban-rural balanced development and new socialist countryside construction in coastal China.

and monthly HTDs in East China were studied. Both the mean annual HTDs and the MDMT during annual HTDs were negative anomaly in the 1980s and positive anomaly in the other periods of time, oscillating with a cycle of about 12-15 years. The mean annual HTDs
were more in the southern part, but less in the northern part of East China. The MDMT during annual HTDs was higher in Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces in the central and western parts of East China. The high temperature process (HTP) was more
in the southwestern part, but less in northeastern part of East China. Both the HTDs and the numbers of HTP were at most in July, and the MDMT during monthly HTDS was also the highest in July. In the first 5 years of the 21st century, the mean annual HTDs and the MDMT
Evaluation of human bioclimates using quantile regression : a China case study
Bioclimatology ; Cartography ; China ; Climatic index ; Clothing ; Comfort ; Human bioclimatology ; Regression analysis ; Spatial distribution ; Temperature
A nonparametric version of quantile regressions was applied to investigate the human bioclimates in China through the use of the CLO (clothing requirements) index. Quantile regression surface maps produced from the whole spectrum of the CLO
at different locations. Hence, this analysis produced a more complete picture of the human bioclimates of the various regions in China.
