21世纪中国水价、水权与水市场建设研讨会召开

“21世纪中国水价、水权与水市场建设研讨会”于2001年3月20日在广西壮族自治区北海市开幕.在为期两天的研讨会上，有来自全国各地的近170位水行业的代表讨论和交流了中外水权和水价问题. 开幕式由主办方代表刘思政主持，广西壮族自治区水利厅副厅长陈中宁首先发表讲话，他代表广西对代表的到来表示欢迎，随后他向代表们介绍了广西的水价以及在水市场方面的情况.他说，此次研讨会的召开对广西水市场工作有指导意义. 参加会议的领导还有：中国水利经济研究会理事长陈美章、水利部经调司领导魏炳才、太湖流域管理局副局长叶寿仁、江苏省水利厅副厅长徐俊仁、湖南省水利厅副厅长皮颂妥、珠江水利经济研究会常务副理事长李志远. “21世纪中国水价、水权与水市场建设研讨会”引起了各新闻媒体的关注，水信息网、中国水利报、水利水电技术杂志、三联生活周刊、中国环境报等都派驻记者进行报道.

北极冰川融化影响几何？

北极冰川融化将使跨北极通航成为可能，运输公司可减少40％的航运距离。马六甲海峡也将不再垄断国际通运。国际经济将进一步融合。     

What Prompts the People＇s Bank of China to Change Its Monetary Policy Stance？ Evidence from a Discrete Choice Model

In the present paper, we model the policy stance of the People＇s Bank of China （PBC） as a latent variable, and the discrete changes in the reserve requirement ratio, policy interest rates, and the scale of open market operations are taken as signals of movement of this latent variable. We run a discrete choice regression that relates these observed indicators of policy stance to major trends of macroeconomic and financial developments, which are represented by common factors extracted from a large number of variables. The predicted value of the estimated model can then be interpreted as the implicit policy stance of the PBC. In a second step, we estimate how much of the variation in the PBC＇ s implicit stance can be explained by measures of its policy objectives on inflation, growth and financial stability. We find that deviations of CPI inflation from an implicit target and deviations of broad money growth from the announced targets, but not output gaps, figure significantly in the PBC＇s policy changes.     

全球存款保险制度：如何运作？

1.简介 在过去的二十年中,一股银行体制危机浪潮席卷全球。这股浪潮袭击了发达国家和发展中国家,在93个国家造成了112起体制性危机,在46个国家中造成51起边线危机。 大规模银行危机的扩散是极具破坏性的,且代价昂贵。储户失去了使用他们资金的权利,     

水轮机运行经历的重大问题(美国陆军工程师团的经验)

美国陆军工程师团经管运行的有344台水轮机,有些水轮机运行已超过50年。某些机组曾经历过重大的运行问题。为获得满意的解决,在工程师团成员、设计者、制造者和运行人员之间的有效合作是必需的。美国陆军工程师团已建成的水力发电设施遍布全美国,现在仍有70％在运行。其规模可从弗吉尼亚州罗诺克河上的14MW费尔波特水电站起,到位于华盛顿州和俄勒冈州哥伦比亚河上的2200     

SIMILARITY LAW OF FLUCTUATING PRESSURE WITHIN HYDRAULIC JUMP AREA

Through a series of model tests of five scales for 2-D free hydraulic jump, the da-ta of fluctuating pressure acting on the floor level within the hydraulic jump were obtained. Dur-ing the experiments, Froude number varied from 2.94 to 8.61, and Reynolds number rangedfrom 2×10~4 to 6×10~5. Experiment results indicate that the amplitude scale of fluctuating pres-sure is the length scale of model, i. e. P'=L, which agrees with gravity similarity law: Thefrequency scale of the fluctuating pressure is a unity i. e., f=1, which does not satisfy thegravity similarity law.     

THE FLOW PRODUCED IN PARTICLE-SUSPENSION BY AN INFINITE ROTATING DISK:SERIES SOLUTION

To the flow produced in particle-suspension by a rotating disk of infinite extent,the asymptotic behavior at infinity is analyzed.A corresponding series solution is presented.It isshown that this approach yields widely valid solutions of high accuracy for all the cases in whichthat suction or weak injection at the disk surface exists.For the cases that strong injection or par-ticle-free band exists,the series method fails.     

TURBULENCE MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT WITH A SILICON PIEZORE-SISTANCE BEAM

A newly developed turbulence measurement instrument is introduced in the paper.The transducer of the device is based on the principle of the effect of silicon piezoresistance that isintegrated in a Wheatstone bridge on a pure silicon beam. At one end of the beam, a small lightball is installed as the target forced by the water flow. The other parts are prevented from thewater flow with a sophisticated stainless steel tube. The instrument can be used to measure turbu-lent velocities either in clear Water or in flows bearing hyperconcentration of sediment. It can al-so be used to measure velocities in both glass flume and model experiments as well as in pipe ex-periment by being mounted in a special way.
