Endemicity of H9N2 and H5N1 avian influenza viruses in poultry in China poses a serious threat to poultry

Jiao HU,Xiufan LIU

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2016, Volume 3, Issue 1,   Pages 11-24 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2016092

Abstract: The H9N2 and H5N1 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have been circulating in poultry in China and become endemic since 1998 and 2004, respectively. Currently, they are prevalent in poultry throughout China. This endemicity makes them actively involved in the emergence of the novel lineages of other subtypes of influenza viruses, such as the well-known viruses of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N2 and the 2013 novel H7N7, H7N9 and H10N8 subtypes, thereby threatening both the poultry industry and public health. Here, we will review briefly the prevalence and evolution, pathogenicity, transmission, and disease control of these two subtypes and also discuss the possibility of emergence of potentially virulent and highly transmissible AIVs to humans.

Impact of household transitions on domestic energy consumption and its applicability to urban energy planning

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2017, Volume 4, Issue 2,   Pages 171-183 doi: 10.15302/J-FEM-2017029

Abstract: The household sector consumes roughly 30% of Earth’s energy resources and emits approximately 17% of its carbon dioxide. As such, developing appropriate policies to reduce the CO emissions, which are associated with the world’s rapidly growing urban population, is a high priority. This, in turn, will enable the creation of cities that respect the natural environment and the well-being of future generations. However, most of the existing expertise focuses on enhancing the thermal quality of buildings through building physics while few studies address the social and behavioral aspects. In fact, focusing on these aspects should be more prominent, as they cause between 4% and 30% of variation in domestic energy consumption. Premised on that, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect in the context of the UK of household transitions on household energy consumption patterns. To achieve this, we applied statistical procedures (e.g., logistic regression) to official panel survey data comprising more than 5500 households in the UK tracked annually over the course of 18 years. This helped in predicting future transition patterns for different household types for the next 10 to 15 years. Furthermore, it enabled us to study the relationship between the predicted patterns and the household energy usage for both gas and electricity. The findings indicate that the life cycle transitions of a household significantly influence its domestic energy usage. However, this effect is mostly positive in direction and weak in magnitude. Finally, we present our developed urban energy model “EvoEnergy” to demonstrate the importance of incorporating such a concept in energy forecasting for effective sustainable energy decision-making.

Discovery of the Triggering Factor on Exceptional Serious Natural Disasters and Its Physical Study

Strategic Study of CAE 2004, Volume 6, Issue 12,   Pages 1-6

Abstract:

Applying the traditional Chinese whole view thought and the principles of the modern statistics, meteorology and seismology, it is found that most natural disasters of a sudden (include the extraordinary rainstorm, typhoon sudden change, impending violent earthquake,volcanic eruption, etc. ) are triggered by tide-generating force resonance at collinearity of three stars when the internal conditions are satisfied. Using the internal-external cause coupling method to predict extraordinary rainstorms and impending violent earthquakes, the success rate is respectively about 72.7 % and 40 % . This study program include serie observation experiments to test whether there exist amplifications of the gravitational force and the electromagnetic force at the time of collinearity of three stars and sets up the forecasting mode of extraordinary rainstorm.
