Among all regions, the strongest growth of TC index exists in JUs, with a
five-year cumulative growth rate as large as 45.2%. Owing to JUs’outstanding
performance, thefive-year cumulative growth rate of eastern 211Us reaches 31.7%,
much higher than that of central 211Us (26%) and western 211Us (29.4%).
No matter in which subgroup, we canfind that there is very large difference
between NEAM and HSS disciplines. On the one hand, HSS disciplines of OUs
don’t have strong growth effects as NEAM disciplines. On the other hand, HSS
