Introduction A. Project Brief and Construction Progress 1. The proposed Longrui expressway component includes a 128.96 km expressway, 6.0 km of link roads to 7 interchanges and a 34.44 km Class II road. The expressway starts at the end of the Baoshan-Longling Expressway in Longling County, passes Mangshi (Mangshi City) and ends at Mengmao Township of Ruili City. A new Class II road will continue from the end of the expressway to Nongdao Border Port (China–Myanmar border). The expressway and Class II road traverse 4 state farms and 42 villages/communities of 14 townships/subdistricts in Longling County, Mangshi City and Ruili City. 2. Figure 1 shows the Longrui Expressway in Yunnan Province. 3. The Mangshi-Wanding section of the Longrui Expressway opened for operation on 30 May 2015 and the construction of Wanding-Ruili section is basically completed as of 25 September 2015 and is scheduled for operation on September 2015; while construction of the Longling-Mangshi section is largely done and it is scheduled to open for traffic in October 2015. 4. The toll gates were designed and constructed of ethnic minority styles (see Figure 2). B. This Report 5. This report, the seventh semi-annual monitoring report, 1 summarized EMDP implementation before September 2015. II. Methodology 6. The monitoring of EMDP implementation was combined with that for RP implementation. The monitor visited the project area in September 2015, met/interviewed about 230 persons, including APs in 12 ethnic minority (EM) natural villages, staff of LREC, staff of prefecture and county/city coordination offices, as well as township and village officials. The visited EM (natural) villages, are listed in the table below.2 As indicated in the table, the 12 natural covered 4 ethnic minority groups of Dai, De’ang, Jingpo and Lisu. Two natural villages, Xiaomidi and Chudonggua, were specifically targeted as they are dominated by two less populated ethnic minority groups of De’ang and Lisu respectively. 7. The methods used for monitoring included: (i) simple questionnaire survey of sample HHs aimed at rapid assessment of income and livelihood restorations status of EM APs (detailed survey results are presented in monitoring report on LAR); (ii) site visits of ethnic minority villages to assess income restoration and other development activities; (iii) interviewing LREC and coordination offices, township officials and village leaders to assess the implementation status of restoration measures; and (iv) literature review regarding local governments’ efforts in promoting ethnic minority development. 1 The first and second monitoring reports were termed as social monitoring reports that combined both RP and EMDP implementation monitoring. At the requirement of the ADB social specialist responsible for this project, separated mentoring reports were prepared since the third report. 2 The monitor revisited same villages as that presented in the previous monitoring report. 7 Table 1: EM Villages Surveyed County/City Township Administrative village Natural village Ethnic group Mangshi Santaishan Chudonggua 1.

These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 11 December 2019; Accepted: 3 January 2020; Published: 11 January 2020 Abstract: Collection, characterization and utilization of genetic resources are crucial for developing varieties to meet current and future needs. Although mango is an economically important fruit tree, its genetic resources are still undocumented and are threatened in their natural habits. In this study, the variability of 452 mango accessions from three regions in China (Nujiang, Lancang river and Honghe) was assessed using 41 descriptors including qualitative and quantitative traits, with the aim to identify mango accessions with excellent agronomic and quality traits. To this end, descriptive and multivariate analyses were performed. Based on Shannon–Weaver diversity index, qualitative traits including pericarp color, fruit aroma, flesh color, and fruit flavor recorded the highest variability in the germplasm. Fruit related traits including pulp weight, peel weight, and fruit weight were the most diverse traits in the germplasm with a high coefficient of variation (CV > 40%). Significant differences (MANOVA test, p < 0.000) were observed among the three regions for most of the quantitative traits.

  • Relocation of the 10 March 2011 Yingjiang, China, Earthquake Sequence and Its Tectonic Implications∗

This earthquake caused 25 deaths and over 250 injuries. In order to better understand the seismotectonics in the region, we collected the arrival time data from the Yunnan seismic observational bulletins during 1 January to 25 March 2011, and precisely hand-picked the arrival times from high-quality seismograms that were recorded by the temporary seismic stations deployed by our Institute of Crustal Dynamics, China Earthquake Administration. Using these arrival times, we relocated all the earthquakes including the Yingjiang mainshock and its aftershocks using the double-difference relocation algorithm. Our results show that the relocated earthquakes dominantly occurred along the ENE direction and formed an upside-down bow-shaped structure in depth. It is also observed that after the Yingjiang mainshock, some aftershocks extended toward the SSE over about 10 km. These results may indicate that the Yingjiang mainshock ruptured a conjugate fault system consisting of the ENE trending Da Yingjiang fault and a SSE trending blind fault. Such structural features could contribute to severely seismic hazards during the moderate-size Yingjiang earthquake.

Abstract: Leccinum is one of the most important groups of boletes. Most species in this genus are ectomycorrhizal symbionts of various plants, and some of them are well-known edible mushrooms, making it an exceptionally important group ecologically and economically. The scientific problems related to this genus include that the identification of species in this genus from China need to be verified, especially those referring to European or North American species, and knowledge of the phylogeny and diversity of the species from China is limited. In this study, we conducted multi- locus (nrLSU, tef1-a, rpb2) and single-locus (ITS) phylogenetic investigations and morphological observisions of Leccinum from China, Europe and North America.
