[quick news] May 5, 2019 British media review ranking list of Asian universities in 2019: Tsinghua tops the list

British media review 2019 Asian University Rankings: Tsinghua University topped the UK Higher Education Journal times higher education (the), and published the latest "2019 Asian University Rankings" Tsinghua University and Singapore National University exchange positions Tsinghua University ranks first in Asia, and it is the first time that mainland universities have won the rankings This year, the number of Asian universities on the list has increased to 417, and their scores are based on learning environment, research impact, internationalization, industry income and other indicators Tsinghua's outstanding performance is mainly due to the significant increase in learning environment, citation impact and international scores Phil Baty, chief knowledge officer of the E, pointed out that the mainland's sustained and substantial investment in education over the years has become a major success story in the ranking of Asian universities A total of 26 universities in the mainland have entered the top 100 Asian universities In addition to Tsinghua University, another top university, Peking University, is also ranked fifth, slightly down two places from last year The University of science and technology of China, Zhejiang University, Fudan University and Nanjing University also ranked 12th to 18th In Hong Kong, as in last year, six universities ranked in the top 100, and HKUST surpassed HKU to become the third in Asia; HKU and CUHK remained unchanged, ranking fourth and seventh respectively; while cityway and Lidong, like last year, fell one place, ranking 15th and 20th respectively However, Baptist University dropped 15 places to the 70th place Http://www.chinanews.com/gj/2019/05-02/8826115.shtml China's innovation index jumped to the 17th place in the world in 2018, the construction of China's intellectual property power was steadily promoted, the quality and efficiency of intellectual property examination continued to improve, the average examination cycle of trademark registration was shortened to six months, the examination cycle of high-value patents was reduced by 10%, and the annual accumulative patent fee was reduced by 58.6 Billion yuan At the same time, the quantity and quality of intellectual property creation are rising Data shows that by the end of 2018, the number of domestic (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) invention patents had reached 1.602 million, an increase of 18.1% year on year, and the number of invention patents per 10000 population had reached 11.5 The number of applications for international trademark registration in Madrid was 6594, up 37.1% year on year 2380 geographical indication products and 4867 registered trademarks have been approved A total of 1990 new varieties of agricultural plants and 405 new varieties of forestry plants were awarded, an increase of 34% and 153.1% respectively on a year-on-year basis The number of works and computer software copyrights registered reached 2.35

17th place in the world, becoming the only middle-income economy in the top 20 Http://paper.people.com.cn/rmrbhwb/html/2019-05/04/content_.htm recently, Chinese scholars have transformed carbon dioxide into clean energy methanol Professor Zeng Jie's research team of University of science and technology of China, in cooperation with Si Rui, researcher of Shanghai synchrotron radiation light source, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a new platinum monoatomic catalyst, which can transform carbon dioxide into purity efficiently More than 90% of methanol, which is of great significance for emission reduction and development of new energy The international authoritative academic journal Nature · communication recently published this achievement The products of hydrogenation of carbon dioxide are complex, which may be methanol, carbon monoxide, formic acid or even another greenhouse gas methane This is also a scientific and technological problem that the international scientific community is committed to solving in recent years Professor Zeng Jie's research team worked with researcher Siri to develop a platinum monoatomic catalyst supported on a metal organic framework The purity of methanol is up to 90.3%, and other components are less than 10% Https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-09918-z study three kinds of stem cells needed for transforming experimental mouse skin cells into embryos· In animal experiments, they have successfully transformed skin cells into the three main stem cells needed by early embryos, which can be differentiated into embryonic, placental and umbilical cord tissues, the journal stem cells reported This result is not only of great significance to the study of embryo and placental defects and to the solution of some infertility problems, but also means that it is possible to use human skin cells to cultivate complete human embryos in the future without sperm and eggs According to reports, before that, researchers tried to cultivate experimental mouse embryos without sperm and eggs, but they used these three kinds of stem cells isolated from living and developing experimental mouse embryo related tissues, and used them to re culture experimental mouse embryos On the basis of this study, it is possible to develop experimental mouse embryos in vitro by using skin cells without sacrificing live embryos Https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/fulltext/s1934-5909 (19) 30117-1 It is of great significance for China to realize the localization of key equipment of million ton coal direct oil production series, to develop clean and efficient utilization technology of coal, to expand the supply channel of liquid fuel, to ensure the safety of national energy sources and to relieve the pressure of environmental protection Ordos coal to oil company is the first demonstration project of direct coal to oil production of one million tons in China, which is an integral part of the national energy strategy The first production line of the demonstration project was started in 2004, with an annual output of 1.08 million tons of diesel oil, naphtha and other oil products It was completed and successfully tested by the end of 2008 Since the start of the demonstration project, in addition to the high differential pressure reducing valve, key equipment such as high temperature and high solid wear-resistant centrifugal pump, coal slurry feed pump, wear-resistant ball valve, ceramic filter element of coal gasification fly ash filter have been localized At present, the equipment localization rate of the first production line has reached more than 98%, which not only solves the bottleneck of long-term stable operation of the production line, but also promotes the R & D and manufacturing capacity of key equipment of coal chemical industry in China, clearing the obstacles for the scale development of modern coal chemical industry in China
