Global warming, climate changes mostly associates with solar-renewable energy; however wind-energy potential has no detail reports in Indonesia. This study aims to mapping of characteristics and potential of wind as renewable-energy from long-term (1997-2009) satellite remote-sensing. Wind direction (WD), speed (WS) derives from microwave/ scatterometer sensor on satellite operational years as follows: ADEOS (1997), DMSP (1998-1999), AMI (1997-1999), QuikSCAT (1999- 2009). Data processed into 0.25o grid, monthly temporal resolution. The regional characteristics of WD/WS, seasonal and zonal-longitudinal reveals by statistic. Electrical energy derives from kinetic energy of turbine-blades per-unit time. Energy conversion uses power-curves and technical parameters of 1.50 and 3.40 MW (GE 1.5s, 3.4-137 models) onshore installations with 25km2 per point, 15% availability area. Result shows WS has low characteristics in Indonesian-waters (<3.7ms-1). WS has high at north-south Java-Sumatra, Banda waters (<6.9ms-1). The zonal-seasonal wind variability of WD, WS stables at equator. Increases of degree-zonal (>5deg), wind curve follows north-south hemisphere characteristics and crosses in April, October. The north-west, south-east monsoon shows clearly only on north-western of Java-Sumatra waters. WS has range of 0-25.20ms-1, average 6.64ms-1 with Std. 1.64ms-1. With these WS, generation of electrical energy has range from 104.0 to 2230.5 kWh per-point installation grid.

Accurate information about the wind resource and the wind energy potential is required for federal and local authority policy initiatives that will expand the use of wind energy. This paper presents the experience of creating an information-analytical system (IAS), based on GIS technologies, for wind energy potential (theoretical and practically achievable) of Leningrad and Pskov regions, located in the North-West of Russia. IAS consists of GIS database coupled with models for support of decision making for regional planning. The paper presents the general methodological approaches and possible practical difficulties during the creation of such systems.

Oreochromis mossambicus is currently receiving much attention as a candidater species for aquaculture programs within Southern Africa. This has stimulated interest in its breeding cycle as well as the morphological characteristics of the gonads. Limited information is available on SEM and TEM observations of the male gonads. It is known that the testis of O. mossambicus is a paired, intra-abdominal structure of the lobular type, although further details of its characteristics are not known. Current investigations have shown that spermatids reach full maturity some two months after the female becomes gravid. Throughout the year, the testes contain spermatids at various stages of development although spermiogenesis appears to be maximal during November when spawning occurs. This paper describes the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of the testes and spermatids.Specimens of this fish were collected at Syferkuil Dam, 8 km north- west of the University of the North over a twelve month period, sacrificed and the testes excised.

Statistical data on reserves, production and exports of Russian oil are provided in the article. The author pays special attention to the expansion of opportunities of sea oil transportation by construction of new oil terminals in the North-West of the country and first of all the largest terminal in Murmansk. In his opinion, one of the main problems in this sphere is prevention of ecological accidents in the process of oil transportation through the Baltic sea ports.
