  • Preliminary Analysis of Correlated Evolution of Morphology and Ecological Diversification in Lacertid Lizards
    Butll. Soc. Cat. Herp., 19 (2011) Preliminary analysis of correlated evolution of morphology and ecological diversification in lacertid lizards Fèlix Amat Orriols Àrea d'Herpetologia, Museu de Granollers-Ciències Naturals. Francesc Macià 51. 08402 Granollers. Catalonia. Spain. [email protected] Resum S'ha investigat la diversitat morfològica en 129 espècies de lacèrtids i la seva relació amb l'ecologia, per mitjà de mètodes comparatius, utilitzant set variables morfomètriques. La mida corporal és la variable més important, determinant un gradient entre espècies de petita i gran mida independentment evolucionades al llarg de la filogènia dels lacèrtids. Aquesta variable està forta i positivament correlacionada amb les altres, emmascarant els patrons de diversitat morfològica. Anàlisis multivariants en les variables ajustades a la mida corporal mostren una covariació negativa entre les mides relatives de la cua i les extremitats. Remarcablement, les espècies arborícoles i semiarborícoles (Takydromus i el clade africà equatorial) han aparegut dues vegades independentment durant l'evolució dels lacèrtids i es caracteritzen per cues extremadament llargues i extremitats anteriors relativament llargues en comparació a les posteriors. El llangardaix arborícola i planador Holaspis, amb la seva cua curta, constitueix l’única excepció. Un altre cas de convergència ha estat trobat en algunes espècies que es mouen dins de vegetació densa o herba (Tropidosaura, Lacerta agilis, Takydromus amurensis o Zootoca) que presenten cues llargues i extremitats curtes. Al contrari, les especies que viuen en deserts, estepes o matollars amb escassa vegetació aïllada dins grans espais oberts han desenvolupat extremitats posteriors llargues i anteriors curtes per tal d'assolir elevades velocitats i maniobrabilitat. Aquest és el cas especialment de Acanthodactylus i Eremias Abstract Morphologic diversity was studied in 129 species of lacertid lizards and their relationship with ecology by means of comparative analysis on seven linear morphometric measurements.

  • SCAR: Uzbekistan: Khauzak-Shady and Kandym Gas Field Development
    Social Safeguards Compliance Audit Report Date: March 2011 UZB: Khauzak-Shady and Kandym Gas Field Development This report is made publicly available in accordance with ADB’s Public Communications Policy (2005). It does not necessarily reflect the views of ADB. UZB: Kandym Gas Field Development Social Safeguards Compliance Audit Report I. INTRODUCTION 1. Lukoil Uzbekistan Operating Company (LUOC, the Operator) is seeking financial assistance for the development of the Kandym Group of gas field (the Project) located in Bukhara Region in Uzbekistan. The Project will start production in 2017 and will reach its peak production of 8 billion cubic meters (bcm) per year of natural gas in 2019 and will continue production till 2039. It is part of a development program governed by production sharing agreements (PSA) signed by the Government of Uzbekistan and a consortium of investors including Lukoil and Uzbekneftegaz. The prospecting works for the Kandym Group started in 1960-63. The Project plans to drill 126 production wells and develop gathering stations, field pipeline transfers, gas processing plant, gas main pipelines and other infrastructure facilities such as power substations, access roads and railway for logistics and supply. 2. For projects where there are existing facilities, ongoing construction or involves prior land acquisition, ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement requires the conduct of a social compliance audit, including on-site assessment, to identify past or present concerns related to land acquisition and involuntary resettlement and indigenous peoples impacts. The objective of the social compliance audit is to determine whether actions were in accordance with ADB’s SPS and Safeguard Requirement (SR) 2-3 and to identify and plan appropriate measures to address outstanding compliance issues.

  • CHAPTER 3 HYDROLOGICAL MODELING 3.1 Introduction 3.2
    The Study on Flood and Debris Flow Supporting Report I (Master Plan) Paper IV in the Caspian Coastal Area Meteo-Hydrology focusing on the Flood-hit Region in Golestan Province CHAPTER 3 HYDROLOGICAL MODELING 3.1 Introduction An integrated and distributed MIKE SHE hydrological model is used to evaluate rainfall-runoff process in the Madarsoo River basin. The model is able to analyze impacts of watershed management practices, land use, soil types, topographic features, flow regulation structures, etc. over the basin on river flows. For this, MIKE SHE model was coupled with MIKE 11 river modeling system to simulate flows in the river system. Inflows and hydrodynamic processes in rivers are taken into consideration for model development. The model computes river flows taking account of overland flow, interflow and base-flow. An integrated and distributed hydrological model MIKE SHE was set up for the Madarsoo River basin for the following reasons: (1) To generate probable or design discharges precisely in the river system to assist on flood control master plan development, (2) To analyze the impacts of watershed management practices and biological measures of flood mitigation by quantifying river flows under these circumstances, and (3) To analyze the impact of incorporation of flood regulation structures like dam in the river system to reduce peak flows. 3.2 MIKE SHE MIKE SHE is an integrated hydrological model because all components of hydrological cycle (precipitation, evapotranspiration, surface flow, infiltration, groundwater flow, etc.) are incorporated into the model. Similarly, and it is also a distributed model because the model can handle spatial and temporal distributions of parameters.

Abstract: The article focuses on the role of the Trans-Caspian (Central Asian) Railroad to increase the trade turnover between Russia and Bukhara in the late XIX-early XX centuries. Key Words: Trans-Caspian Railway, Kagan, Cotton, Factories, Trade, Sale, Cotton Cleaning Machines & Pressing The Impact of the Construction of the Transcaspian Railway on the Economic and Trade Relations between Russia and Bukhara: The transformation of Turkestan into a colony, the Bukhara and Khiva khanates into semi-colony opened wide opportunities for the penetration of Russian industrial goods to Central Asia and export of local raw materials to Russia. But traditional historical caravan transportations could not ensure the uninterrupted delivery of a growing scale of goods turnover from one end to the other and back. Of great importance in resolving this matter was the construction of the first major railway line, Transcaspian, which connected Russian industry with Central Asian raw materials and sales market.

  • Asia-Europe Connectivity Vision 2025
    Asia–Europe Connectivity Vision 2025 Challenges and Opportunities The Asia–Europe Meeting (ASEM) enters into its third decade with commitments for a renewed and deepened engagement between Asia and Europe. After 20 years, and with tremendous global and regional changes behind it, there is a consensus that ASEM must bring out a new road map of Asia–Europe connectivity and cooperation. It is commonly understood that improved connectivity and increased cooperation between Europe and Asia require plans that are both sustainable and that can be upscaled. Asia–Europe Connectivity Vision 2025: Challenges and Opportunities, a joint work of ERIA and the Government of Mongolia for the 11th ASEM Summit 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, provides the ideas for an ASEM connectivity road map for the next decade which can give ASEM a unity of purpose comparable to, if not more advanced than, the integration and cooperation efforts in other regional groups. ASEM has the platform to create a connectivity blueprint for Asia and Europe. This ASEM Connectivity Vision Document provides the template for this blueprint. About ERIA The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) was established at the Third East Asia Summit (EAS) in Singapore on 21 November 2007. It is an international organisation providing research and policy support to the East Asia region, and the ASEAN and EAS summit process. The 16 member countries of EAS—Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam, Australia, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, and New Zealand—are members of ERIA.

  • Life Science Journal 2013;10(7S) 799 a Study on Buddhism in the Parthian Era in Iran Dr Mehrn
    Life Science Journal 2013;10(7s) http://www.lifesciencesite.com A Study on Buddhism in the Parthian Era in Iran Dr Mehrnaz Behroozy1, Khadijeh Naghipourfar 2 1. Central Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 2. Graduated in pre Islamic Historical Era of Iran, Central Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Abstract: Religion among Iranians, like other nations, has always been very important. Religious tolerance in Achaemenid Empire continued in Parthian Era as well. This religious openness among public lasts in Seleucid Empire and after them, in Parthian era, and let the other religions to enter to Iran. Of course it shall be considered that after Seleucid’s attack to Iran, the Iranian’s lost their self-esteem, therefore their belief to religion became poor and acceptance of foreign religions was common in this era. One of these foreign religions was Buddhism. Buddhism formed in east and northeast of Iran. Its missionaries tried to extend their influence inside Iran and find some followers among Iranians. This is a library study to investigate Iranians approach toward Buddhism in Parthian Era, the followers of this religion, and the areas affected by this religion in the Parthian Era. This investigation is performed using different reference texts, historical resources and the literatures regarding Buddhism in Iran in Parthian Era. This is worth to mention that one can conclude that due to the religious tolerance in Parthian Era, a lot of new religions emerged in this era and Buddhism is one of them. The main problem of the author is the lack of references for the chosen subject and there is no direct reference about Buddhism history in the Parthian Era.
