Developing an Orthography for Onya Darat (Western Borneo) Practical and Theoretical Considerations

Onya Darat is a language spoken, with great dialectal variation, in the interiorof western Borneo. It is the southernmost member of Land Dayak, a branchof the Austronesian language family. This article reports on the developmentof a writing system for Onya Darat. In addition to five vowels and 19 simpleconsonants, Onya Darat also exhibits three series of complex oral-nasalsegments: prenasalized oral stops, preoralized nasals, and postoralized nasals.An analysis of the Onya Darat sound system reveals that of these three seriesonly postoralized nasals are distinctive and therefore need to be representedin the writing system. The proposed orthography, developed with the aid ofnative speakers, represents all and only the phonemes of Onya Darat withoutresorting to diacritics or special characters

The economic importance and control of vertebrate pests of graminaceous crops with particular reference to rice (Oryza sativa) in Nigeria--a review

Graminaceous crops, especially rice (Orzya sativa), have within the last years in Nigeria, surged to be of utmost economic importance, not in improving the economy but in depleting the country of fast foreign exchange. Attempts at improving and massively increasing the production and cultivation of rice (and other graminaceous crops) to meet the enormous demand have proved abortive. This is mainly a result of the ineffective control measures applied against destructive avian pests that sometimes reduce rice plantations to nothing. Much research is still needed to enhance better and effective control strategies
