  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

  • Contagious Jihad: Turmoil in Central Asia
    © Kamoludin Abdullaev 2012 Contagious Jihad: Turmoil in Central Asia CONTENT INTRODUCTION Central Asia: Land and People - Defining Central Asia - Ethnic composition - Brief historical background The 19th Century Great Game - State and border formation - The end of stateless “free ride”? - The Evolution of the Insurgency in Central Asia - The Basmachis: mujaheeds, bandits or national liberators? - Soviet-Afghan war and Central Asians - Civil war in Tajikistan: local conflict? - Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan joins Afghan jihad - Recent rise in violence in Central Asia Prospect of Talibanization of Central Asia - Major conflict triggers - What makes spillover effect possible? - Central Asian Partnership in Solving the Afghan-Pakistan Conflict - Central Asian state policies toward Afghanistan and Pakistan - Cooperation between US and international community in Afghan-Pak with Central Asian states CONCLUSION 1 Introduction This book focuses on the impact of the Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict and recent large-scale military operations against Taliban militants and international jihadis on the neighboring independent Central Asian states. The study will provide policymakers with comprehensive historical background, analyses, and policy options for developing regional security strategies that closely engage countries of Central Asia in resolving the Afghanistan-Pakistan issue. Afghanistan’s protracted conflict has long attracted militants from all over the world eager to fight a “holy war” against the “unbelievers”. During the Soviet-Afghan war they were known as mujahedeen. Since the launch of the US-led Operation Enduring Freedom and ouster of the Taliban from Afghanistan, these militants have become to be known as jihadis. The jihadi movement is a combination of various militant groups that came to existence with the Western, Saudi, and Pakistani support during the Afghan resistance to the Soviet occupation in the 1980s.

Burtman Geological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pyzhevskii per. 7, Moscow, 119017 Russia email: [email protected] Received December 19, 2011 Abstract—The collision of Hindustan with Eurasia in the Oligocene–early Miocene resulted in the rear rangement of the convective system in the upper mantle of the Pamir–Karakoram margin of the Eurasian Plate with subduction of the Hindustan continental lithosphere beneath this margin. The Pamir–Punjab syn taxis was formed in the Miocene as a giant horizontal extrusion (protrusion). Extensive nappes developed in the southern and central Pamirs along with deformation of its outer zone. The Pamir–Punjab syntaxis con tinued to form in the Pliocene–Quaternary when the deformed Pamirs, which propagated northward, were being transformed into a giant allochthon. A fold–nappe system was formed in the outer zone of the Pamirs at the front of this allochthon. A geodynamic model of syntaxis formation is proposed here.

In this study, we investigate the age and geochemical variability of volcanic arc rocks found in the Chinese, Kyrgyz, and Tajik North Pamir in Central Asia. New geochemical and geochronological data together with compiled data from the literature give a holistic view of an early to mid-Carboniferous intraoceanic arc preserved in the northeastern Pamir. This North Pamir volcanic arc complex involves continental slivers in its western reaches and transforms into a Cordilleran-style collision zone with arc- magmatic rocks. These are hosted in part by Devonian to Carboniferous oceanic crust and the metamorphic Kurguvad basement block of Ediacaran age (maximum deposition age) in Tajikistan.

  • Glacial Chronology and Paleoclimatic Implications
    SURFACE EXPOSURE DATING OF STREAM TERRACES IN THE CHINESE PAMIR: GLACIAL CHRONOLOGY AND PALEOCLIMATIC IMPLICATIONS THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Benjamin T. Kirby, B.S. The Ohio State University 2008 Thesis Committee: Professor Lindsay Schoenbohm, Advisor Approved By: Professor Garry McKenzie ___________________________________ Professor Doug Pride Advisor Geological Sciences Graduate Program ABSTRACT The extreme spatial and temporal variability of climate systems in the Himalayas has thus far limited our understanding of the evolution of the paleoclimate in Central Asia and Tibet during the late Quaternary. Given the extreme pressures currently being placed upon water resources in Asia by increasing populations, a detailed understanding of the past and present climate has never been more sought-after by those seeking to mitigate climate change. In the Chinese Pamir, a region in which the South Asian monsoon and the mid-latitude westerlies vie for influence over the regional climate, surface exposure dating was performed on glacially-derived stream terraces to investigate the relative influences of these competing systems as well as possible climate teleconnections in the Northern Hemisphere. Terrace ages of 53 ± 9 ka, 46 ± 12 ka, 36 ± 2 ka, ~17 ka, 15 ± 3 ka, and ~600 years reveal a periodicity similar to well-known climate events in the Northern Hemisphere and may be indicative of the ability of the westerlies to convey climate signals globally. Considered in conjunction with glacial chronologies throughout the Western Himalayas, these data may also have implications for the evolution of the South Asian monsoon during the last glacial cycle.

Key paragraphs of Operational Guidelines: 77 Property meet natural criteria. 78 Property meets conditions of integrity and protection and management requirements. Background note: In 2009/2010 a smaller percentage of the Tajik National Park (TNP) was nominated as Tajik National Park (Mountains of the Pamirs). The nominated property was 1,266,500 ha with a buffer zone of 1,385,174 ha, both areas within the boundaries of the TNP. The IUCN evaluation and Committee decision noted that the property met criteria (vii) and (viii) and that these values could be strengthened by adding additional areas in the TNP. The IUCN evaluation concluded that the property did not meet criteria (ix) and (x). The Committee deferred the nomination to allow the State Party to refocus a nomination on criteria (vii) and (viii) with redefined boundaries; improve the comparative analysis to justify Outstanding Universal Value; provide a clear commitment and plan to improve resourcing; and to prepare and implement an effective management plan. The Committee requested the State Party to keep open the possibility of a future transnational nomination for the Pamir Mountains with neighbouring countries (Decision 34COM 8B.3). 1.
