Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. The PTD Skylab-2 Handheid Imagery Catalog is oriented by Magazine and Frame Number to facilitate imagery tracking and provides a summary of features visible for each photograph. Imagery researchers require the opposite; i.e., given: state, country, or other feature name; find which images contain the given .Teature. The data contained herein has been sorted by Geographical Feature Names to assist imagery researchers. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ii I. Introduction 1 11. i4ork Performed 1 I 11.

INTRODUCTION This publication ,*epresents a relisting of the Skylab-2, PTD Handheld Photography Catalog. The purpose of this publication is to provide imagery researchers a supplement to the PTG Catalog by alphabetically sorting together all similar major and minor features. Some cross-referencing of feature tiames was accomplished where the authors deemed necessary; however, no attempt was made to exhaust all possible means of cross-referencing. An example of the cross-referenci ng which was done: "Kuril Islands" may be found under the major feature column and also as J minor feature of "Islands." 21. WORK PERFORMED The data contained herein was thoroughly researched using the Times Index-Gazetteer of the World, the Times Atlas of the World, and the National Atlas of the United States of America to ensure correct spelling and location of named features. The spelling and major geographical features applied to smaller features (minor) such as cities, towns, mountain peaks, etc., are in accordance with these publications. It is understood that some political boundaries and names of countries are subject to change. The data was written on NASA keypunch transmittal sheets and punched into data cards. These data cards were then machine scjrted alphabetically by major feature and minor feature and printed by other Electronic Accounting Machines. 1 111.

  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizas in a Hot and Arid Ecosystem in Southwest China
    Applied Soil Ecology 29 (2005) 135–141 www.elsevier.com/locate/apsoil Arbuscular mycorrhizas in a hot and arid ecosystem in southwest China Li Tao, Zhao Zhiwei* Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Bio-resources, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, PR China Accepted 19 November 2004 Abstract The colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore abundance and community were investigated in a valley-type semi-savanna vegetation of Yuan River in southwest China. Of the 62 plants representing 33 families surveyed, 59 plant species (about 95%) were arbuscular mycorrhizal and 3 species (5%) were possibly arbuscular mycorrhizal. Rhizosphere soils harbored abundant arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores in a range of 240–6430 per 100 g soil with an average of 2096, and most spores were small with diameter less than 70 mm (about 78%). The fungi most frequently found were members of the genera Acaulospora and Glomus. Acaulospora spinosa, A. denticulata, A. tuberculata, Glomus sinuosa, G. clarum, G. intraradices and G. microaggregatum were the most common species. These results revealed that arbuscular mycorrhizas are a common and important component in this semi-savanna vegetation; the high spore density and colonization were presumably a selective adaptation toward the hot and arid ecosystem. # 2004 Elsevier B.V.

  • The Neolithic Ofsouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal
    The Neolithic ofSouthern China-Origin, Development, and Dispersal ZHANG CHI AND HSIAO-CHUN HUNG INTRODUCTION SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE YELLOW RIVER and Mainland Southeast Asia, southern China1 lies centrally within eastern Asia. This geographical area can be divided into three geomorphological terrains: the middle and lower Yangtze allu­ vial plain, the Lingnan (southern Nanling Mountains)-Fujian region,2 and the Yungui Plateau3 (Fig. 1). During the past 30 years, abundant archaeological dis­ coveries have stimulated a rethinking of the role ofsouthern China in the prehis­ tory of China and Southeast Asia. This article aims to outline briefly the Neolithic cultural developments in the middle and lower Yangtze alluvial plain, to discuss cultural influences over adjacent regions and, most importantly, to examine the issue of southward population dispersal during this time period. First, we give an overview of some significant prehistoric discoveries in south­ ern China. With the discovery of Hemudu in the mid-1970s as the divide, the history of archaeology in this region can be divided into two phases. The first phase (c. 1920s-1970s) involved extensive discovery, when archaeologists un­ earthed Pleistocene human remains at Yuanmou, Ziyang, Liujiang, Maba, and Changyang, and Palaeolithic industries in many caves. The major Neolithic cul­ tures, including Daxi, Qujialing, Shijiahe, Majiabang, Songze, Liangzhu, and Beiyinyangying in the middle and lower Yangtze, and several shell midden sites in Lingnan, were also discovered in this phase. During the systematic research phase (1970s to the present), ongoing major ex­ cavation at many sites contributed significantly to our understanding of prehis­ toric southern China. Additional early human remains at Wushan, Jianshi, Yun­ xian, Nanjing, and Hexian were recovered together with Palaeolithic assemblages from Yuanmou, the Baise basin, Jianshi Longgu cave, Hanzhong, the Li and Yuan valleys, Dadong and Jigongshan.

Through a survey of watershed managers and a literature analysis, it was found that water diversion projects should be the top priority of water resource management by considering the recovery construction of water diversion projects. Case studies of WRDSs in the South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) and Pearl River Basin are discussed in this article. The results show that total water consumption management (WCM), water quality monitoring and management (WQMM), minimum discharge flow management (MDFM), and water dispatch management (WDM) modules should be considered in WRDSs. Finally, strategies and needs for resolving water resource management problems are discussed, along with other applications of WRDSs in China.

This paper discusses the water status in China and claims that governance is the cause of water-related problems. The structure of the current water management is analyzed to conclude that the control-command is a static approach which is less capable of dealing with the uncertainty in the water resources system. An adaptive governance frame is introduced, which highlights the learning process and participation. The learning process avoids making the same mistake twice and the participation ensures the diversity of information, which are both necessary for water resources management. Keywords: water status; adaptive governance; water management frame; adaptive water resource management 1. Introduction Sustainable water management is of fundamental importance for society but remains an extraordinary challenge across the world, with many pressing issues to be addressed, such as the lack of sanitation, the depletion of water resources, and the financial loss associated with hydrological extremes such as floods and droughts [1].

According to this study, we found that West Dongting Lake is at high 10 11 ecological risk of heavy metal pollution, and the major contaminant, mercury, may come from 12 continuous pollutant anthropogenic activities such as regional industrial activities within Yuan 13 River and Li River watershed. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts Page 2 of 28 1 2 3 1 Spatial distribution of heavy metals in the West Dongting Lake floodplain, 4 5 6 2 China 7 8 1,2 1 1 1,3 1 9 3 Dong Peng (1), Ziyu Liu (2), Xinyue Su (2), Yaqian Xiao (3), Yuechen Wang (4), 10 11 4 Beth A Middleton4, Ting Lei1,* 12 13 5 *Corresponding author email: [email protected].

Chan) Shih-Pin Huang, Yahui Zhao, I-Shiung Chen, and Kwang-Tsao Shao (2017) Microphysogobio zhangi n. sp., a new cyprinid species is described from Guangxi Province, China. Morphological and molecular evidence based on mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome b (Cyt b) sequence were used for comparing this new species and other related species. The phylogenetic tree topology revealed that this new species is closely related to M. elongatus and M. fukiensis. We also observed the existence of a peculiar trans-river gene flow in the Pearl River and the Yangtze River populations, and speculated that it was caused by an ancient artificial canal, the Lingqu Canal, which forming a pathway directly connecting these two rivers. Key words: Taxonomy, Gudgeon, Cytochrome b, Freshwater Fish, Pearl River.
