  • The Journal of the Geological Society of Jamaica Bauxite /Alumina Symposium 1971
    I THE JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF JAMAICA BAUXITE /ALUMINA SYMPOSIUM 1971 LIBRARY 01' ISSUE '/// <°* PREFACE The recent Bauxite/Alumina Industry Symposium, which was sponsored by the Geo­ logical Society of Jamaica, was an attempt to bring together scientists and engineers to discuss the many problems relating to the industry. Ihe use of a multi-dicipli- nary approach has the advantage of permitting different lines of attack on the same problems, and thereby increasing the likelihood of finding solutions to them. Also, the interaction of people from the University, industry and Government greatly facilitates communication and allows problems to be evaluated and examined from different points of view. The bauxite/alumina industry was selected for discussion because of its significance in the economy of Jamaica. It contributed about 16% of the country's total Gross Domestic Product in 1970, and is the economic sector with the greatest potential for growth. Jamaica's present viable mineral industry only dates back to 19S2 when Reynolds Jamaica Mines, Limited started the export of kiln dried metallurgical grade bauxite ore. This was followed shortly by the production and export of alumina by the then Alumina Jamaica Limited (now Alcan Jamaica, Limited), a subsidiary of the Aluminium Company of Canada. The commencement of this new and major industry followed a successful exploration and development programme which resulted largely from the keen perception and perseverance of two men. First, Mr. R.F. Innis observed that some of the cattle lands on the St. Ann plateau were potential sources of aluminium ore, and then Sir Alfred DaCosta persisted in attempts to interest aluminium companies in undertaking exploration work here.

Fairfax Drive Prepared by: Suite 600 Arlington, VA 22203 Tel: +1-571-227-9000 Fax: +1-571-227-9001 www.paconsulting.com Version: 1.0 Jamaica Social Investment Fund 7/14/09 FOREWORD This report is the compilation of deliverables under the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) contract with PA Consulting Group (PA) to provide input in the design of the tourism sector elements of the Second National Community Development Project (NCDP2). Rural poverty is a major challenge for Jamaica, with the rural poverty rate twice the level of the urban areas. There is large potential for rural development, especially through closer linkages with the large and expanding tourism sector which offers numerous opportunities that are yet to be tapped. Improvements in productivity and competitiveness are key to realizing the potential synergies between tourism and small farmer agriculture. The objective of the proposed NCDP2 is to increase income and jobs in poor communities in targeted rural areas. Because of the focus on productive, income generating initiatives, the NCDP 2 project was named Rural Enterprise Development Initiative (REDI). The project l builds on the success of the community-based development approach utilized under NCDP1. The focus of income generation interventions will be supported by rural-based tourism development, agricultural technology improvements in small and medium farms, and the linkages between agriculture and tourism.

  • Evolutionary Consequences of Dioecy in Angiosperms: the Effects of Breeding System on Speciation and Extinction Rates
    EVOLUTIONARY CONSEQUENCES OF DIOECY IN ANGIOSPERMS: THE EFFECTS OF BREEDING SYSTEM ON SPECIATION AND EXTINCTION RATES by JANA C. HEILBUTH B.Sc, Simon Fraser University, 1996 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Zoology) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA July 2001 © Jana Heilbuth, 2001 Wednesday, April 25, 2001 UBC Special Collections - Thesis Authorisation Form Page: 1 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/thesauth.html ABSTRACT Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems.

  • Jamaica‟S Physical Features
    Jamaica‟s Physical Features Objective: Describe Jamaica‟s physical features. Jamaica has physical features including: valleys, mountains, hills, rivers, waterfalls, plateau, caves, cays, mineral springs, harbours and plains. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 1 Valleys A valley is a low area that lies between two hills or mountains. A list of valleys in Jamaica is shown below. St. James Queen of Spain Valley Trelawny Queen of Spain Valley Hanover Great River Westmoreland Dean St. Catherine Luidas Vale St. Mary St Thomas in the Vale Portland Rio Grande St. Thomas Plantain Garden www.caribbeanexams.com Page 2 Mountains The mountains of the island can be broken up into three main groups. The first group is in the eastern section composed primarily of the Blue Mountain. This group also has the John Crow Mountains and is the most easterly mountain range in the island. They run from north-west to south-east in the parish of Portland and divide the Rio Grande valley from the east coast of the island. The second group or central region is formed chiefly of limestone, and extends from Stony Hill in St Andrew to the Cockpit country. The central range starts from Stony Hill and runs in a north westerly direction through Mammee Hill, Red Hills, Bog Walk, Guy's Hill, Mount Diablo and finally into the Cockpit country. The third group is the western section with Dolphin Head as its centre. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 3 Major Mountains www.caribbeanexams.com Page 4 Rivers Major Rivers in Jamaica www.caribbeanexams.com Page 5 Black River As the main mountain ranges in Jamaica run from west to east, the rivers, which start on their slopes, generally flow north or south.

Bailey Hortorium, Department of Plant Biology, 412 Mann Library Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, U.S.A. *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We report fossil wood specimens from two Miocene sites in Panama, Central America: Hodges Hill (Cucaracha Formation; Burdigalian, c.19 Ma) and Lago Alajuela (Alajuela Formation; Tortonian, c.10 Ma), where material is preserved as calcic and silicic permineralizations, respectively. The fossils show an unusual combination of features: diffuse porous vessel arrangement, simple perforation plates, alternate intervessel pitting, vessel–ray parenchyma pits either with much reduced borders or similar to the intervessel pits, abundant sclerotic tyloses, rays markedly heterocellular with long uniseriate tails, and rare to absent axial parenchyma. This combination of features allows assignment of the fossils to Malpighiales, and we note similarities with four predominantly tropical families: Salicaceae, Achariaceae, and especially, Phyllanthaceae, and Euphorbiaceae.

Prince Lincoln University 2010 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract Investigating the Livelihoods of Families Operating Small Sugarcane Farms in Jamaica: A Case Study Perspective by Michael. N. Prince This research project sets out to gain theoretical insights and develop an understanding of issues relevant to the livelihoods of families operating small sugarcane farms in Jamaica. The study started with the observation that small sugarcane operations in Jamaica were on the verge of collapse. This observation was based on the existing situation together with the fact that the preferential market price Jamaica received from the European Union for sugar would be reduced by 36 per cent in the 2009/2010 marketing year, and that these families would be severely affected.
