This work deals with the geochemistry of lava and pyroclastic rocks of the Lac Vert cone. We present the results of geochemicals analyzes of major and traces elements performed at the University of Naples. The results showed that these rocks are primarily nephelinite - ultrabasic very rich in iron and have calc-alkaline affinities. The geochemical compositions of lavas and pyroclastic rocks of cone of Lac Vert demonstrated a positive correlation with lavas from the 1977 and 2002 Nyiragongo...

Abstract Sweetpotato is grown throughout the year in Mozambique but drought affects storage root yield and biomass productivity. The objectives of this research were to estimate the impact of genotype × environment interactions (G × E) in sweetpotato and select genotypes based on drought indices such as geometric mean, percent yield reduction, drought sensitivity index and harvest index. A total of 58 clones were evaluated during the dry season of 2006, 2008 and 2009. Two treatments were...

This creates a “lonely” language learning experience for students despite their clear...

The long-term success of water projects in water-stressed communities hinges not only on providing access to safe water, but also on equipping communities for sustainable resource management. Coupling research with education facilitates sustainability by growing local hydrogeologic knowledge and supporting prudent management. Adjusting management practices requires time, and it is helped through collaboration and trust between researchers and stakeholders.
