Development of English Text for the engineers to preserve the environment of North-East Asia Yuji Minami National Institute of Technology, Ube College 2-14-1 Tokiwadai, Ube, 755-8555, Japan Fukuchi Kenji, Shinya Tagawa National Institute of Technology, Ube College 2-14-1 Tokiwadai, Ube, 755-8555, Japan E-mail : [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] www.ube-k.ac.jp Abstract Our research began in 2007 as a part of the activities of ‘Good Practice’ for Education of Engineers in cooperation with the UMICNEA, that is, “Union of Machinery Industrial Cities in North-East Asia”. Through our study, we found it necessary to acquire the knowledge of ‘Fish Breeding Forest’ when developing and preserving the area of North-East Asia, where the river Amur plays an important role for sustaining the environment of this region. We made the research of the origin of the river Amur, named ‘the river Onon’, located in the area of ‘Strictly Protected Area’ in Mongolia by the agreement of Mongolia, Russia, and China in 2005. We plan to make it clear that future engineers should find a good way of cooperation through English as a communication tool for the purpose of playing an active part together. Keywords: North-East Asia, Strictly Protected Area, Amur Green Belt, Fish Breeding Forest 1. Introduction ‘ICAP : International Conference of Aqua-polices’ held every 4 years since 1990. The purpose of this thesis is to make it clear that the After taking those 3 projects into consideration, we younger generation of engineers who are expected to continued to send students to the foreign internship, to work especially in the area of North-East Asia should exchange students mutually, and planned to make a learn the basic concept of safe and sound but dynamic textbook in English for all those engineers who wish to circulation system of environment for the preservation play active part and to take an important role for of Amur River Basin. developing and preserving the environment of the area Before reaching the above-mentioned recognition of of North-East Asia . the importance of preserving the origin of the River Amur, chronologically speaking, we learned some basic 2.

Natural pre-conditions, current realities and factors of development of aeolian processes are investigated. The paper considers regularities of spatial distribution of deflation, transit, and aeolian accumulation zones. Main directions of aeolian migration of matter are determined. Pulsating nature of aeolian processes development in Holocene has been established. Identified are intrasecular cycles and Holocene dynamics of aeolian processes. We identified intrasecular (11, 27–35 years old), secular (80 year old) and Holocene (500, 2000 year old) cycles of aeolian process dynamics. The paper shows the influence of anthropogenic activity on the activation of aeolian migration of material for the historical period. It presents an overview of extreme aeolian events. Regionalization of Transbaikalia was carried out according to the degree of probable desertification of the territory due to development of aeolian processes. Areas of catastrophic manifestation of processes are highlighted. The results of long-term experimental observations of deflation and aeolian accumulation are presented. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the aeolian corridors. The important role of aeolian processes in the intensive material transport from Transbaikalia to the south and southeast to neighboring regions of Mongolia and China is shown.

Lars Fischer rated it liked it Sep 15, After plundering the southern Russian steppes, the Russian princes united with the retreating Cuman confederacy to defeat the Mongols with an 80, man host. Unlike in —23 when the majority of the Rus' states allied against Subutai and Jebe, this time the Mongols apparently struck with such speed that the Russians were either too paralyzed, or possibly too bitter or distracted to ally. Army War College students express what can be learned from the Mongol art of war; interesting stuff, much of which can be learned from other generals and is likely in one field manual or another. Apr 22, James Kenney rated it it was amazing. The Mongol dispersion helped them avoid contagion by the plague that devastated Kaifeng, and after being stretched to the limit, the Emperor fled and the city surrendered.

    Amur, One of the World Biggest Rivers, Starts from a Mountain in Mongolia

    Amur, one of the world biggest rivers, starts from a mountain in Mongolia Davaa, Uvur and Unguljiin rivers start from Khan Khentii Mountain, a peak of Khentii Mountain range, and running along on two sides of Botokhon and Boorji that lie next to Mountains Burkhan Khaldun create a river called “Onon”. The river runs for 808 km along beautiful high mountains that support forests including boreal coniferous forests and through vast meadows and steppe in Khentii and Dornod aimags of Mongolia and then goes to a territory of Chita province of Russian Federation. While running through the territory of Russian Federation, Onon River creates Shilk River by joining Ingedei River started from Sohond Mountain, a peak mountain continued from Khentii Mountain range to the north east. Joining Ergune River, the Shilk River creates scenic Amur River that marks off borders of Russia and China and inflows into Pacific Ocean having run through vast taiga/boreal coniferous forests. Thus, starting from a tributary of Ungulj and Davaa rivers and inflowing into the ocean, this big river runs for 4,444 km. The river width is five km in average by running in narrow streams in its some parts. It is internationally recognized that Onon River is a head river of Amur River, one of five world biggest rivers that freely runs without any natural embankments and barriers. There are over 400 rivers and streams inflowing in Onon, Ulz, Kherlen, and Khalkh rivers in Mongolia that belong to Amur River basin. Amur River basin is one of 35 eco-regions that require inevitable conservation as announced by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

    A Proposed Crinoid Zonation of the Devonian Deposits of Eastern Transbaikal

    A proposed crinoid zonation of the Devonian deposits of eastern Transbaikal ALENA V. KURILENKO & NIKOLAY P. KULKOV Devonian deposits of eastern Transbaikal, Russia, are widely distributed in the Onon, Argun and Upper Amur terranes, each with a different geological development history. Two lithofacies are represented in the geological section: carbon- ate-volcanogenic-terrigenous (Onon terrane) and terrigenous-carbonate (Argun and Upper Amur terranes), with strata in the latter characterized by abundant fossil remains, especially numerous crinoids and brachiopods. Brachiopod assem- blages are stated for each strata of the Transbaikal Devonian. A crinoid biostratigraphic zonation is proposed within the Mongol-Okhotsk fold belt as follows: Scyphocrinites mariannae, Costatocrinus bicostatus and Tastjicrinus pauci- costatus (Lower Lochkovian); Amazaricrinus ildicanensis (Pragian); Paradecacrinus orientalis (Emsian); Raricrinus minimus and Vasticrinus vastus (Eifelian); Ononicrinus gracilis (Givetian); Hexacrinites? stukalinae sp. nov. (Frasnian) and Platycrinites? subtuberosus (Upper Famennian). Local and regional crinoid ages accord well with those of brachio- pods. Lateral distribution of faunal assemblages allows regional correlation. • Keywords: Devonian, crinoid biozonation, brachiopods, assemblages, biostratigraphy, Transbaikal.

    99 CHAPTER 2 DRAINAGE BASINS OF THE SEA OF OKHOTSK AND SEA OF JAPAN This chapter deals with the assessment of transboundary rivers, lakes and groundwaters, as well as selected Ramsar Sites and other wetlands of transboundary importance, which are located in the basins of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan.
