Many engineers perform managerial roles; however, their professional education in engineering usually does not include management education. Thus, this study examined the participation of the Nigerian licensed engineers in professional development activities in management. The study proposed (1) to determine if, in fact, Nigerian licensed engineers participate in management education and training; (2) to determine the management programs in which the engineers participated and whether...

The source mechanisms and focal depths of 23 African earthquakes, most of them associated with the East African rift system, have been accurately determined using Rayleigh-wave inversion and body-wave modelling techniques. In so doing we have demonstrated the viability of applying these techniques to intermediate-sized earthquakes in regions of relatively sparse seismicity but high tectonic interest. Earthquake source mechanisms in East Africa are mostly of the normal faulting type. Least...

Many of the conditions no doubt have already improved in those areas where international relief efforts are under way. The comments made here are based on observations by my colleagues and myself during the emergency phase of the famine and refugee crises and perhaps should be considered more as lessons learned that are better applied to newly emerging situations than to those relief efforts already in progress. In summary, the highest priority emergency health requirements identified during...

Abstract Using rainfall data from five stations in The Gambia, it is shown that there has been a very marked decrease in annual rainfall over the last thirty years. This decrease is thought to be due to a reduction in the number of rain‐producing synoptic situations rather than a decrease in intensity of rainfall. Using monthly data for the five stations and decadal and daily data for one station, it is demonstrated that the characteristics of the rainfall season have varied systematically...

This report is the outcome of a three-month research project which was conducted from August to October, 1985, on behalf of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa through its subregional office, the Multinational Programming and Operational Centre, Lusaka. The research was undertaken in accordance with the ECA/MULPOC Project Proposal which provided the general framework for the study. The report deviates in format from the ECA/MULPOC framework. In focusing upon access for...

The Kadawcb and Homogar Volcanic Groups occur in the Sudanese portion of the Nubian Shield and are late Proterozoic in age (723 Ma and 671 Ma, respectively). The lavas of both groups display a calc-alkaline character, are broadly similar in terms of their lithology, phenocryst mineralogy and major element composition, and geochemically they are similar to modern arc lavas associated with converging plate margins. However, a clear distinction can be made between the two groups on the basis of...
