This divides into 1,100 TWh wind energy potential and 1,500 TWh solar power potential per year. Therefore after an estimation, 3% of the Gobi area would be enough, which includes around 1,3 Mio. km² to produce more than 21.400 TWh of energy in one year. Calculations existed, that this energy production per year would have been enough to serve the energy demand of the whole world in the year 2008. www.energy.gov.mn 7 The DESERTEC Concept (for EU-MENA) www.energy.gov.mn The SEATEC Concept (for Northern Europe) European offshore super grid: Transmitting electricity through HVDC interconnectors within Northern Europe Source: European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) 2009 / 2010 www.energy.gov.mn GOBITEC and Asian Super Grid INITIATIVE (NORTHEAST ASIA) •9 www.energy.gov.mn•9 •Resource: “GOBITEC AND ASIAN SUPER GRID FOR RENEWABLE ENERGIES IN NORTHEAST ASIA” Report 2014 •Ази, номхон далайн бүсийн орнуудын хүрээндCOAL эрчим хүчнийOIL нэгдсэнNATURAL систем GAS байгуулахELECTRICITY санаачлагууд Energy Demand Outlook in NEA RUSSIA 506 406 310 257 126 159 Currently, NEAsian region 69 103 use 1/5 and countries use 1/4 of world energy supply 2015 2030 9 3 3 1 0 1 0 2 2015 MONGOLIA2035 2240 66 45 CHINA 1708 2010 DPRKOREA 787 754 67 94 76 93 43 49 185 500 552 40 39 152 129 129 400 111 101 86 92 164 2015 KOREA 2035 •10 2015 2035 2015 JAPAN 2035 •Unit: Mtoe www.energy.gov.mn •Source: ADB 2013 Road to Very Large Scale PV MW-scale PV system : already ‘proven’ 100MW PV system : now realizing!

  • Research Article WILDMEN in MYANMAR
    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 4:53-66 (2015) Research Article WILDMEN IN MYANMAR: A COMPENDIUM OF PUBLISHED ACCOUNTS AND REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE Steven G. Platt1, Thomas R. Rainwater2* 1 Wildlife Conservation Society-Myanmar Program, Office Block C-1, Aye Yeik Mon 1st Street, Hlaing Township, Yangon, Myanmar 2 Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science, Clemson University, P.O. Box 596, Georgetown, SC 29442, USA ABSTRACT. In contrast to other countries in Asia, little is known concerning the possible occurrence of undescribed Hominoidea (i.e., wildmen) in Myanmar (Burma). We here present six accounts from Myanmar describing wildmen or their sign published between 1910 and 1972; three of these reports antedate popularization of wildmen (e.g., yeti and sasquatch) in the global media. Most reports emanate from mountainous regions of northern Myanmar (primarily Kachin State) where wildmen appear to inhabit montane forests. Wildman tracks are described as superficially similar to human (Homo sapiens) footprints, and about the same size to almost twice the size of human tracks. Presumptive pressure ridges were described in one set of wildman tracks. Accounts suggest wildmen are bipedal, 120-245 cm in height, and covered in longish pale to orange-red hair with a head-neck ruff. Wildmen are said to utter distinctive vocalizations, emit strong odors, and sometimes behave aggressively towards humans. Published accounts of wildmen in Myanmar are largely based on narratives provided by indigenous informants. We found nothing to indicate informants were attempting to beguile investigators, and consider it unlikely that wildmen might be confused with other large mammals native to the region.

  • Millet, Wheat, and Society in North China in the Very Long Term By
    Cereals and Societies: Millet, Wheat, and Society in North China in the Very Long Term By Hongzhong He, Joseph Lawson, Martin Bell, and Fuping Hui. Abstract: This paper outlines a very longue durée history of three of North China’s most important cereal crops—broomcorn and foxtail millet, and wheat—to illustrate their place within broader social-environmental formations, to illustrate the various biological and cultural factors that enable the spread of these crops, and the ways in which these crops and the patterns in which they are grown influenced the further development of the societies that grew them. This article aims to demonstrate that a very long-run approach raises new questions and clarifies the significance of particular transitions. It, firstly, charts the transition from broomcorn to foxtail millet cultivation in the late Neolithic; secondly, shows efforts to spread winter wheat often met some degree of resistance from farming communities; thirdly, considers the significance of the different processing requirements of wheat and millet, and their implications for social and economic development; and, fourthly, considers the debate over the spread of multiple-cropping systems to North China. Introduction Scholars have highlighted the importance of crops in comparative studies that seek to explain broad differences in development among various Eurasian societies over long periods of time.1 European crops—oats, barley, wheat, and rye—entailed the proliferation of mills, establishing the monasteries and magnates who owned them, and rudimentary mechanization, at the heart of European society. In contrast, the East Asian rice growing communities invested not in milling-machines, but in skilled labour.

MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out for peer review, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. We do, however, strongly recommend that prospective authors consult our style guidelines at www.sino-platonic.org/stylesheet.doc.

I demonstrate that the efforts of officials following an ideology of domination and transformation rooted in the Chinese Classics changed the ways that people associated with each other and defined themselves and how Muslims understood their place in history and in global space.

The Mongol-Yuan relied heavily on the Duan 段, descendants of the royal family of the Dali kingdom (937–1253), to administrate local society in western Yunnan. The first Ming Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, continued many Mon- gol-Yuan administrative policies in Yunnan. His practice of appointing local ethnic leaders as native officialstuguan ( 土官) to administer ethnic populations is well known. In addition, he implemented novel measures that became catalysts for change at the level of local society. One such case was the establishment of Guards and Battalions (weisuo 衛所) to control local society and to prevent unrest by indi- genous peoples, particularly those inhabiting the borders with Southeast Asia. The Mongol-Yuan had also stationed troops in Yunnan. However, the Ming innovated by establishing a system for delivering grain to the troops. The early Ming state solved the problem of provisioning the Guards and the Battalions in border areas through two methods. The first was to set up military colonies tuntian( 屯田), while demobilising seven out of every ten soldiers to grow food for the army.

    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 5:8-31 (2016) Research Article DNA AS EVIDENCE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF RELICT HOMINOIDS Haskell V. Hart* Canyon Lake, TX 78133 ABSTRACT. DNA sequencing methods available to the wildlife biologist or forensic anthropologist are briefly summarized. Their recent applications to potential relict hominoid samples are critically reviewed. Guidelines for sample collection and transport, analytical method selection, and interpretation of results are presented. None of the six published DNA studies to date have yielded any credible evidence for the existence of a relict hominoid.
