Factiva RTF Display Format SE REGIONAL HD Phase I of Handri-Neeva in three years, says YSR BY By Our Staff Reporter WC 479 words PD 21 June 2004 SN The Hindu SC THINDU PG 03 LA English CY (c) 2004 Kasturi & Sons Ltd LP The Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, has announced that the first phase of Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanti (HNSS) irrigation project will be completed in the next three years. About two lakhs acres in Kurnool and Anantapur district will be given water in the first phase, he stated. Addressing an impromptu press conference near Gudibanda in the district today during his Rajiv Pallebata visit he stated that the project cost had now escalated to Rs. 3,000 crores. The first phase would be completed with Rs. 1,300 crores. TD Asked about the availability of water to the project the Chief Minister said there was no way but diversion of Godavari waters to the Krishna delta and Nagarjunasagar. Admitting that there were problems in allocation of water to the project in the Krishna-Tungabhadra basin he said the two river systems were over-exploited and over-depended. All projects for diversion of Godavari waters to the Krishna basin would be taken up on a war- footing and would be completed in three-four years time. Diversion of Godavari waters would also help give additional water to Mahabubnagar and Nalgonda districts, he said. Page 1 © 2014 Factiva, Inc. All rights reserved. Mr. Rajasekhara Reddy stated that the first phase of Handri-Neeva would involve eight lifts with an estimated cost of Rs. 700 crores. It was being planned to irrigate 80,000 acres in Kurnool and 1.2 lakh acres in Anantapur in the first phase. About Rs. 50 to 100 crores would be spent on the project this year, he said. As the water would reach till Uravakonda by the end of first phase it would be taken to Madakasira area in the next three years in the second phase. Besides, the State Government was also concentrating on the reallocation of Krishna waters. The drinking water needs of Madakasira, Penukonda, Hindupur and Gorantla areas would also be met with the pipeline project from Penna Ahobilam Balancing Reservoir. An amount of Rs. 100 crores was already sanctioned for the project, he noted. He also assured taking up the second stage of PABR at the earliest. The Chief Minister also announced that the farmers taking up pongamia (kanuga) and jatropha (adavi amudam) plantation for bio-diesel production would be given loans of Rs. 5,000 to 6,000 every year till they reached the production stage. It was being planned to cover 30,000 acres with bio-diesel plantation in Anantapur this year, he stated. On the issue of unemployment the Chief Minister said a detailed study was already under progress to ascertain the number of sanctioned posts in all Government departments. Details were being gathered about permanent, project-based and contract posts. The actual requirement would also be know after the study. Later, all the vacancies would be filled within the limits of law.

TD The bank paid $645 to Powerguda villagers to neutralise emissions from aeroplanes and local transport used by participants attending an international conference at Washington DC, in October 2003. This interesting transaction has put Powerguda, a watershed-project area of the International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), and a secluded Gond tribal village, on the global carbon trade map. International invitees to the World Bank conference burnt aviation fuel to fly to the meeting resulting in greenhouse gas emission. To compensate for the adverse environmental impact of this, the bank paid the Powerguda villagers to grow pongamia trees in the watershed. By growing these trees, the villagers have been providing a three-fold environmental service - prevent the spread of desertification; sequester atmospheric carbon; and extract pongamia Page 4 of 354 © 2014 Factiva, Inc.

The income of villagers improved due to the watershed activities that include soil and water conservation, improved agricultural practices, integrated nutrient, and pest management. A recent study noted a 77% increase in family income over three years, an ICRISAT release said. ICRISAT's model for watershed development is replicated in Andhra Pradesh through the Andhra Pradesh Rural Livelihoods Program.

First, it is now entering its 3rd year of activity since its conception with its first volume and first issue being launched 2 years ago. Second, it is now a 100% e-journal (no more hard copies), which means an article can be published anytime as soon as it is ready (as always being the case from the beginning, however.) Thirdly, our managing editor, Dr. Weerachai Phutdhawong, the technical and key founder of this journal, has reluctantly left us for a new academic position at Kasetsart University. Without him from the start, this journal would never have been as it is now. He and the webmasters of Maejo University have jointly created a website for a journal which is freely, fully, and easily accessible. And this is most probably one of the factors that contribute to its unexpected and continuing popularity from the beginning as well as to the increasing international recognition of the journal now.* Lastly, the editor sincerely hopes that, with a well-laid foundation in store and a strong editorial committee at present, and despite his failing health after two years in office, which may result in a new editor for the journal in the near future, this journal will continue on well towards serving submitters, both local and abroad, as well as improving on its standard further.

    Maintenance and conservation of Dipterocarp diversity in tropical forests _______________________________________________ Mohammad Nazrin B Abdul Malik A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science Department of Animal and Plant Sciences November 2019 1 i Thesis abstract Many theories and hypotheses have been developed to explain the maintenance of diversity in plant communities, particularly in hyperdiverse tropical forests. Maintenance of the composition and diversity of tropical forests is vital, especially species of high commercial value. I focus on the high value dipterocarp timber species of Malaysia and Borneo as these have been extensive logged owing to increased demands from global timber trade. In this thesis, I explore the drivers of diversity of this group, as well as the determinants of global abundance, conservation and timber value. The most widely supported hypothesis for explaining tropical diversity is the Janzen Connell hypothesis. I experimentally tested the key elements of this, namely density and distance dependence, in two dipterocarp species. The results showed that different species exhibited different density and distance dependence effects. To further test the strength of this hypothesis, I conducted a meta-analysis combining multiple studies across tropical and temperate study sites, and with many species tested. It revealed significant support for the Janzen- Connell predictions in terms of distance and density dependence. Using a phylogenetic comparative approach, I highlight how environmental adaptation affects dipterocarp distribution, and the relationships of plant traits with ecological factors and conservation status. This analysis showed that environmental and ecological factors are related to plant traits and highlights the need for dipterocarp conservation priorities.

Furan and pyran moieties located at ring A in a linear or angular position, linked to either C-6/C-7 or C-7/C-8, respectively, are a common characteristic of the flavonoids produced by plants of this genus (Alvarez-Solano et al., 2000; Borges-Argaez et al., 2002; Lima et al., 2009; Magalhães et al., 1996; Magalhães et al., 1999; Nascimento et al., 1976; Nascimento and Mors, 1981).
