Abstract The drought event which reached severe levels in 1972 and 1973 caused a major disaster in the Sahalian and sub-Sahalian zones in Africa. This disaster has drawn attention to the need for data surveys and detailed studies for meaningful long-term measures to combat the effects of future droughts. The study reported in this paper is an attempt to assess the hydrological aspects of the drought event in Nigeria in 1972 and 1973. There exist relatively long and reliable records of...

Major and trace element characteristics of dacites and rhyolites overlying and intruding basement rocks in northwestern Nigeria most closely resemble those of intracontinental orogenic volcanic associations. REE patterns point to a deep-seated source for the magmas, perhaps involving garnet fractionation at mantle depths and low-pressure plagioclase fractionation. The occurrence of calc-alkaline volcanics, small basic-ultrabasic complexes and major transcurrent faulting, is consistent with...

Late-Proterozoic volcanic graywackes from the NW Hoggar (Algeria) have been investigated from geological and petrological points of view. Thirty-five samples have been analysed for major elements and the following trace elements: Li, Rb, Sr, Ba, Ni, Co, Cr, V, Zn, Cu. These graywackes constitutes a thick flysch-like formation deposited in a marine environment. They are composed of volcanic (mainly andesites) and plutonic detritus. The chemical analyses confirm this observation and...

Monocular acquisition and interocular transfer of a horizontal-vertical discrimination were measured in 16 male albino guinea pigs which were restricted to using either the contralateral or ipsilateral primary visual fibers; restriction was accomplished by introduction of a unilateral striate lesion coupled with monocular occlusion. Eight sham-operated animals served as controls. The animals restricted to use of the contralateral fibers showed reliably enhanced rates of acquisition as...

Britain. It's Ghana. The parallel between the experiences of the two countries is apparent from the foregoing summary and can be confirmed from the statistical record. Tables 1 and 2 show for both Britain and Ghana the rapid growth of the teacher-training system in the 1960s and indicate the probable scale of reduction by 1981. The slow response of output to increases in admissions and enrolments, and the effect on output of lengthening courses in the early sixties, is clearly visible in...

Developing countries like developed ones need highly skilled medical personnel, referred to as ‘specialists’. In the case of developing countries, the training of these specialists abroad is expensive to the sponsoring governments, imposes a lot of hardship on the doctors and, above all, the coursecontent of such training takes little or no cognizance of the environment in which these doctors would later practise. The developing countries also cannot afford the loss of years in valuable...

The point has been made about the dangers inherent in attempts to analyze the underdeveloped world's problems purely in terms of the experiences or models of the industrialized, developed countries of the world. It is often warned that nations and cultures differ; and that what may have worked for one society may not necessarily work for another. Consequently, these critics caution against a blind transplantation of foreign tools or models to the distinctive conditions of the contemporary...
