    Zootaxa 1588: 1–29 (2007) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2007 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Namtokocoris Sites, a new genus of Naucoridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in waterfalls of Indochina, with descriptions of six new species ROBERT W. SITES AND AKEKAWAT VITHEEPRADIT Enns Entomology Museum, Division of Plant Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211, USA Abstract A new genus with six new species of Naucoridae inhabiting waterfalls of Indochina are described from a decade of aquatic insect collections in Thailand and Vietnam. Namtokocoris Sites NEW GENUS is diagnosed by a pair of promi- nent scutellar protuberances, the prosternal midline bears an expansive, thin, plate-like carina, the forelegs of both sexes have a one-segmented tarsus apparently fused with the tibia, and a single claw. Prominent linear series of stout hairs occur on the hemelytra, although this attribute is not unique within the subfamily. Despite the lack of sexual dimorphism in the forelegs, this new genus is a member of the subfamily Laccocorinae, an assignment based on other characters con- sistent with this subfamily. Character states of this genus are compared with those of other Asian genera of Laccocori- nae. The type species, Namtokocoris siamensis Sites NEW SPECIES, is widely distributed from northern through eastern Thailand in waterfalls of several mountain ranges. Namtokocoris khlonglan Sites NEW SPECIES was collected only at Namtok Khlong Lan at Khlong Lan National Park. Namtokocoris minor Sites NEW SPECIES was collected at two waterfalls near the border with Burma in Kanchanaburi Province and is the smallest species known.

This common form of nitrogen is usually found in resource protection in Thailand, well-known as an agricultural water. In general, occurring concentrations of nitrate in country. Nitrate has no taste and odorless in water and can be detected by chemical test only. It was reported that Suphan Buri is groundwater are naturally less than 2 mg/L originated from considered as one of the provinces with intensive agricultural natural sources such as decaying plant materials, atmospheric - areas, especially sugarcane fields. In this study, NO3 deposition, and inorganic fertilizers. concentrations were measured in 8 groundwater wells located in In Asia, nitrogen fertilizer application has increased - sugarcane fields in this province. NO3 concentration in the area dramatically approximately 17-fold in the last 40 years [8]. was ranged from 2.39 to 68.19 mg/L with an average As comparing to other countries, it was found that average concentration of 30.49 mg/L which was a bit higher than the previous study by Department of Groundwater Resources or fertilizer application rates of Thailand are low (Thailand: 101 - DGR, which found that NO3 was in the range of 0.53-66 mg/L kg/ha; USA: 113 kg/ha; China: 321 kg/ha).

  • Design and Development of Phanat Nikhom Basketry in Chon Buri for European Market
    Burapha University International Conference 2014 Burapha University, Thailand July 3-4, 2014 DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PHANAT NIKHOM BASKETRY IN CHON BURI FOR EUROPEAN MARKET KRIANGSAK KHIOMANG Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Department of Product Design. 169 Longhard Bangsaen Rd. Tambon Saensuk, Amphoe Muang, Chon Buri, Thailand. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The main aim of this academic research was to magnify the value of local resources and basketry folk wisdom from Phanat Nikhom, Chon Buri Province in order to extend distribution channels out there to the international market, create a unique identity of the products and also suite to what target audience wants to fill the customers’ demand. According to the research results, experimenting on the design as well as developing basketry products from Phanat Nikhom, Chon Buri province itself, the researcher found that the C3 hanging lamp and the S2 stand lamp were suitable to be developed further on the design of these two forms. Since the European market tends to be interested and more familiar with geometric forms and also they prefer the simple forms of the products than others. This target market as well favors products made from natural materials. Consequently, the researcher has used the delicacy of basketry patterns which were designed and developed from the local people together with the research team. The patterns were used to decorate the lamps harmoniously with the composition and form. They also can be took off and adapted the positions comfortably by users themselves. In terms of distribution channel for these products to European market, the researcher has designed the selling, the purchasing, and the delivering through the system of E- commerce in order to create an easily way for the products to reach international market easy.

  • Geographical Information System Based Model of Land Suitability for Good Yield of Rice in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand
    Sci., Tech. and Dev., 31 (1): 1-9, 2012 GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM BASED MODEL OF LAND SUITABILITY FOR GOOD YIELD OF RICE IN PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN PROVINCE, THAILAND WALAYAT HUSSAIN*1, OSAMA SOHAIB1, AFTAB AHMED2 AND MUHAMMAD QASIM KHAN2 1Department of Computer Science, Balochistan University of I.T, Engineering and Management Science, Quetta, Pakistan. 2Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Balochistan University of I.T, Engineering and Management Science, Quetta, Pakistan. Abstract Correct assessment of land is a major issue in agricultural sector to use possible capability of any land, to raise cultivation and production of rice. Geographical Information System (GIS) provides broad techniques for suitable land classifications. This study is GIS based on land suitability analysis for rice farming in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand, where the main livelihood of people is rice farming. This analysis was conducted considering the relationship of rice production with various data layers of elevation, slope, soil pH, rainfall, fertilizer use and land use. ArcView GIS 3.2 software is used to consider each layer according to related data. To weigh every coefficient, ranking techniques are used. It was based on determining correlation of rice production and these variables. This analysis showed a positive correlation with these variables in varying degrees depending on the magnitude and quality of these factors. By combining both data layers of GIS and weighted linear combination, various suitable lands have been developed for cultivation of rice. Integrated suitable assessment map and current land were compared to find suitable land in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province of Thailand. As a result of this comparison, we get a land which is suitable for optimum utilization for rice production in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

The objectives were (1) to monitoring the quality of the source water, with discharged into the Kwae-om Canal Bang Khonthi District, (2) to study the relationship between the water quality and source of water pollutant, and to determine the factors that affect water quality. Water samples were collected from 41 points (for summer and rainy) and analyzed water quality according to standard methods. The results showed that the water quality does not meet the quality standards of surface water category 3 of the PCD. Seasonal effect on the amount of cadmium in the water. Water temperatures, pH, nitrogen in nitrate, copper, manganese and zinc compounds were met category 3 of the PCD. According to the factors of land use, dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, fecal coliform bacteria and total coliform bacteria did not meet the standard. © 20152015 The The Authors. Authors.
