URUMQI cheap nike air vapormax plus , June 4 (Xinhua) -- The trial run for the first high-speed railway in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region started on Tuesday, marking a countdown to formal operations by the end of the year and a confidence boost to the region.


A CRH2-061C high-speed train ran through the 300-km Urumqi-Shanshan section at speeds of 160 km to 277 km per hour. The designed speed is 250 km per hour, but the train must slow down when passing through windy areas.


The train is part of the Second Double-track Line of the Lanxin Railway, which links Lanzhou City in northwestern Gansu Province and Urumqi.


The 1,776-km line crosses a vast expanse of the Gobi Desert and windy areas -- a major technical feat -- and will be Xinjiang's first high-speed railway when it begins operation by the end of 2014. With the new railway cheap nike just do it shoes , travel time between Lanzhou and Urumqi will be cut from the current 21 hours to 8 hours or less.


During the test run, Adi Turdi, 34, became the first Uygur man to operate a bullet train. He normally operates the train from Urumqi to Hami at a speed of 140 km per hour.


The trial run included tests on dynamic response, rails cheap nike air max 90 white , communications and aerodynamics, and all results were within safety limits, said Fu Lianzhu, chief engineer of the line's trial run project.


Since the railway passes four major windy areas in China, a 462-km wind shield was built to prevent any damage caused by gales cheap nike air max 90 black , said Fu.


The Lanxin Railway is currently the only railway connecting Xinjiang with other provincial regions. The new line takes a slightly different route, winding into neighboring Qinghai Province before re-entering Gansu and picking up the old route that heads northwest toward Xinjiang.


The operation of the new line will complement the current railway networks and serve more of the population, said Erkin Tuniyaz, vice chairman of the regional government.


The line will greatly improve Xinjiang's transport capabilities to Central Asian and European countries and strengthen its role of being the transportation hub along the Silk Road Economic Belt, he said.


In a speech in Kazakhstan last September cheap nike air max 90 ultra se , Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed the construction of a "Silk Road Economic Belt" as a way of developing political and economic ties with China's neighbors and accelerating the development of China's western regions.


Xinjiang is a major energy powerhouse for China. Insufficient transport capacity has long restricted the region's development as lots of raw materials and products have to be sent to the inland regions by trucks, which take more time and are more costly, said Lai Xin, a senior official with the region's development and reform commission.


The new line is solely a passenger line, which will spare railway transport capacity and make it more convenient for bulk commodities to be sent out of Xinjiang cheap nike air max 90 pinnacle , he said.


The high-speed railway will also prompt the concentration of talent, goods and capital and boost economic development along the line, said Lai.


Xinjiang is a remote region, and more than half of its population is made up of ethnic minorities who hold Muslim beliefs. Violence in the name of "jihad" has been increasing since 2009 and represents the biggest threat to the region. The far western region saw its bloodiest day in five years on May 22 when 39 innocent people were killed in a terrorist attack in Urumqi.


Affected by the terrorist attacks, inbound direct investment in the region was cut by half and tourism revenues were reduced by 40 percent this year cheap nike air max 97 , said Lai.


Li Wenqing, an official with the regional tourism bureau, pins hopes on the high-speed railway to revive tourism, which has been hit hard by recent attacks.


Xinjiang received 52 million domestic tourists and 1.1 million foreign tourists in 2013. Li is still optimistic about reaching the target of receiving 57 million tourists this year.


Zulhumar Tursun, 23 cheap nike air max flair , an attendant on the test train, is also confident of Xinjang's future. She appears at ease on the security issue as she attends counter-terrorist training every month.


"Xinjiang is not so terrible as you hear in rumors," she said.


"There are Uygurs, Hui and Han colleagues in my nine-member team and we live in peace," she said. Enditem




MELBOURNE, Aug.12 (Xinhua) -- Australian universities have taken to using Wi-Fi routers to track how students are responding to their curricula.


By tracking students in this way, the University of Melbourne was able to analyze websites which students accessed to determine what parts of the syllabus students were interested in and what parts failed to maintain their attention.


Gregor Kennedy, vice-chancellor of education innovation at the University of Melbourne, said the practice, known as "learning analytics", was an important way to improve the student experience.


"It provides valuable feedback and helps us understand how the design of our curriculum is working so we can modify it," Kennedy told Fairfax Media on Friday.


"There's a benefit in simply understanding student learning processes and outcomes."


While Australia is the leader of the practice worldwide, privacy experts have warned that the institutions need to receive consent from students before they collect data.


"Some students don't want to be tracked. If people want to be tracked then that's okay, but if they don't, they shouldn't be," Australian Privacy Foundation vice-chair Kat Lane said.


The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and University of Sydney have taken the practice a step further, using learning analytics to identify students who are likely to drop out of their courses.


The two institutions use data gathered about their course engagement during university classes, in conjunction with demographic data, to identify the students and alter the curriculum so that they were more engaged.
