Ground colour sandy yellow, with abundant white or ash grey suffusion giving to moths a characteristic appearance. Wing pattern dark grey, prominent, submarginal field of the fore wing is covered with dark yellowbrown to chestnut scales whereas in hind wing it is brighter dark yellow to ochre-yellow. Wing serration distinct in hind wing, but marginal teeth are short and massive, forming sometimes very short bifurcate tail; in fore wing, medial projection may be double and the falcate part is smooth. Female similarly patterned, a bit darker, with the same kind of serration and a short bifurcate tail. Male genitalia (Fig. 26). Uncus lobes curved, lyre-shaped, with rounded apices; valvae short and broad; harpe strong, rather short and covered with dense spines on its distal third; right apical spur rather slender and pointed. Female genitalia as illustrated (Fig. 28). Diagnosis. Small size, contrasting ‘grey-scaled’ coloration, prominent wing pattern and short but distinct wing serration makes identification of the species rather easy. From the similar and sometimes sympatric O. yandu it differs being paler, a bit smaller, with shorter wing serration. Bionomics. The population of the species of the type locality is native to montaine forests where it inhabits altitudes of 1300–2600 m but more commonly 1500–1800 m, and is on the wing from late April to early September, develops 1–2 generation(s) depending on the altitude. Lowland populations (of Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan) are known develop two generations per season and is known from May to August. Distribution (Fig. 34). Mountains of Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Hubei, also known from N and NW Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong and Hainan. PLATE 4. Figs 30–33. Biotopes. 30.

The type series came from montane forests at altitudes of 1300–2600 m, but most common between 1500–1800 m (Zolotuhin & Wang, 2013). There it appears from late April to early September, with 1–2 generation(s) per year depending on altitude. Lowland populations (in Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan) have two generations per year and moths fly from May to August (Plate 8 C). Distribution. Mainland China (Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan) and Hainan. Remarks. The lowland populations of Guangdong Province may represent a separate subspecies but such status needs special investigation. The species is seemingly a mountain inhabitor.Published as part of Wang, Xing, Wang, Min, Zolotuhin, Vadim V., Hirowatari, Toshiya, Wu, Shipher & Huang, Guo-Hua, 2015, The fauna of the family Bombycidae sensu lato (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Bombycoidea) from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hainan Islands, pp. 1-138 in Zootaxa 3989 (1) on pages 60-61, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/23871

Acothrura orientalis Wang & Soulier-Perkins & Wang & Bourgoin 2016, comb. nov.
No full textAcothrura orientalis (Liang, 2000) comb. nov. Lacusa orientalis Liang, 2000: 289. Note The species Lacusa orientalis was described by Liang in 2000. Xing & Chen (2014) reviewed all the species of the genus Lacusa. According to their observations, this species should be removed from the genus Lacusa and placed in the genera Sarebasa Distant, 1909 or Acothrura Melichar, 1915 (Xing & Chen 2014). After comparing habitus and phallic complexes of L. orientalis (Liang 2000: figs 17, 23–27) and Acothrura fucizona Wang, Chou & Yuan, 2000 (Figs 91–101), the very similar brown markings on vertex and thorax, shape of anal tube, pygofer with dorsal margin straight, posterior margin curved and gonostylus with apical margin concave at middle lead us to place L. orientalis in the genus Acothrura Melichar, 1915. The following new combination is accordingly proposed: Acothrura orientalis (Liang, 2000) comb. nov.

Foreign direct investment and China's bilateral intra-industry trade with Japan and the US
No full textThis paper analyzes dynamic changes of China's intra-industry trade with its major trading partners, Japan and the US, from 1980 to 2004. It also investigates to what extent foreign direct investment promoted intra-industry trade. The empirical results show that, while shares of China's intra-industry trade with both Japan and U.S rose substantially, its intra-industry trade with Japan has reached 35 per cent of the overall trade, considerably larger than 10 per cent with the US. Sino-Japan intra-industry trade concentrated in the electrical and machinery sectors accounted for 52 per cent and 46 per cent of overall trade respectively. On the other hand, it is in the chemical and food sectors where intra-industry trade represented a relatively large proportion of Sino-US trade, 50 per cent and 30 per cent accordingly in each sector. In addition, the analysis indicates that Japanese direct investment in China performed a significant role in enhancing intra-industry trade between Japan and China. However, it found no evidence that the US direct investment in China contributed to the growth of the bilateral intra-industry trade between the two countries.intra-industry trade; FDI; China

Vibration problem of a spherical tank containing jet propellant: numerical simulations
No full textThis document is the final report on the joint research project on vibration problem of a spherical tank containing jet propellant between IHI, Japan and SES, University of Southampton, UK. The background of the project is described. The fundamental principles and numerical method used in numerical simulations are presented. The detailed FEA models for each studied cases are given. The calculation results are presented using tables, curves, figures as well as the attached data files. The available experiment results are listed to compare with the numerical calculations. The calculation results show a fundamental agreement with the experiment results. The numerical analysis confirms that:1)Due to water – tank interaction, the natural frequencies of the water – tank system are decreased with the water level increase. For the 25% water level, the natural frequencies, especially heave mode frequency, shows a significant decrease compared with the empty case. However, with continuing increase the filed water more than 25% level, the decrease gradient of the natural frequencies gradually tends to zero. In the 100% water case, the natural frequency of heave mode is about 200 Hz which can not equal zero.2)Considering free surface wave effect produces a lot of sloshing modes of very low frequencies compared with the natural frequencies of the dry tank structure. Therefore, for dynamic response analysis with high frequency excitations, the free surface wave may be neglected. However, to assess loads caused by sloshing modes, the free surface waves have to be considered.3)There exist relative big deformations at the four tank support places in several vibration modes, which may produce a large local stress at support places to cause the product fail in vibration environment. A strengthen local design at the support places is needed.4)The dynamic response results are affected by damping coefficients of all modes used in the dynamic response analysis. The damping coefficients are approximately presented and therefore, the numerical results are good reference for practical designs.The report confirms that the original purpose of this joint research project has well completed by IHI and SES
Daplasa melanoma Pang & Rindoš & Kishida & Wang 2019, comb. n.

This species is similar to D. postincisa (Moore, 1879) from Bengal (Fig. 16) in wing patterns, both have white forewings with a dark postmedial line, but D. melanoma can be separated from the latter by anal angle of forewing having a short clear-cut dark line. In male genitalia, D. melanoma resembles D. blacklinea, but can be distinguished from the latter by stronger bifid uncus, wider but shorter valve, and a smaller cornuti. Material examined.

This species is transferred into the genus Daplasa from Euproctis for the first time, based on its venation and male genital characters. The postmedial line of forewings is slightly curved in Sichuan specimen, but it is straight in types. This is considered as intraspecific variation due to geographical isolation. The male genitalia of D. melanoma from Sichuan is illustrated as Fig. 20.Published as part of Pang, Xing-Yan, Rindoš, Michal, Kishida, Yasunori & Wang, Hou-Shuai, 2019, Review of the genus Daplasa Moore (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Lymantriinae) from China, with description of new species, pp. 577-585 in Zootaxa 4695 (6) on page 582, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4695.6.8, http://zenodo.org/record/354274
