  • Chapter 5 Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro
    Comprehensive capacity development project for the Bangsamoro Final Report Chapter 5. Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.

  • Market Survey Philippines
    //V/J - y-/l./J~o 7 MARKET SURVEY FOR NUCLEAR POWER IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES PHILIPPINES PRINTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY IN VIENNA SEPTEMBER 1973 FOREWORD It is generally recognized that within the coming decades nuclear power is likely to play an important role in many developing countries because many such countries have limited indigenous energy resources and in recent years have been adversely affected by increases in world oil prices. The International Atomic Energy Agency has been fully aware of this potential need for nuclear power and has actively pursued a program of assisting such countries with the development of their nuclear power programs. So far, inter alia, the Agency has: (a) Sponsored power reactor survey and siting missions; (b) Conducted feasibility studies; (c) Organized technical meetings; (d) Published reports on small and medium power reactors; and (e) Awarded fellowships for training in nuclear power and technology. At present only eight developing countries1 have nuclear power plants in operation or under construction - Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, India, the Republic of Korea, Mexico and Pakistan. The total of their nuclear power commitments to date amounts to about 5200 MW as compared to an estimated installed electric generation capacity of about 56 000 MW. It is estimated that by 1980 only 8% of the installed electrical capacity of all developing countries of the world will be nuclear. In contrast, in the in- dustrialized countries more than 16% of total electrical capacity will be nuclear by 1980. In view of the possible greater need for nuclear power in developing countries it was recommended at the Fourth International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, held in Geneva in 1971, and at the fifteenth regular session of the General Conference2, that efforts should be intensified to assist these countries in planning their nuclear power program.

  • Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Body Shape Variation Among And
    Research Journal of Fisheries and Hydrobiology, 5(1): 44-51, 2010 © 2010, INSInet Publication Body Shape Variation Between Two Populations of the White Goby, Glossogobius giuris (Hamilton and Buchanan) 1Sherwin S. Nacua, 2Emma L. Dorado, 3Mark Anthony J. Torres and 3Cesar G. Demayo 1Biology Department, MSU, Marawi City; 2Notre Dame of Marbel University, Koronadal City, South Cotabato; 3Department of Biological Sciences, MSU-IIT, Iligan City, Philippines Abstract: The major objective of this study is to determine the body shape variation among and between the two populations (Lake Lanao and Lake Buluan) of Glosssogobius giuris (Hamilton and Buchanan), using landmark-based geometric morphometrics. A total of 33 specimens from Lake Lanao (17 males, 16 females) and 31 from Lake Buluan (16 females, 15 males) were examined. Nineteen landmark points were digitized on the specimens from which relative warp scores were derived. Discriminant function analysis showed that both populations exhibit sexual dimorphism. Body shape between the two populations also shows significant difference, with Lake Lanao gobies having bigger head aspect ratio (low) and mouth with a narrower body and more elongated dorsal and anal fins. These characteristics are suggestive of a more efficient carnivore with a more active habit or a fast flowing environment for Lake Lanao gobies. Key words: landmark-based geometric morphometrics, Procrustees distance, relative warp analysis INTRODUCTION freshwater fishes, among them the White Goby, Glossogobius giuris (Hamilton and Buchanan). Exposed to different environmental conditions, The White Goby is a freshwater fish that lives in fishes, like all organisms are capable of making freshwater but spawns in seawater. It is widely adaptations to enable them to survive.
