The effect of supplementary dietary protein on humoral immune capacity was assessed in overtly healthy New Guinean children aged 9-11 years attending the Bundi school. The supplemented group received an additional 25 g. of dietary protein, and the control group received the usual daily intake of about 10 g. protein. The supplemented group produced significantly more antibody after primary immunisation with flagellin than did the control group. Augmented antibody responses in the supplemented...

Historically a poor, unindustrialized country, Nigeria since the civil war faces many problems of reconstruction and development, including the necessity of attaining a more stable economy, a high contribution of agriculture to the Gross Domestic Product, and the encouragement of literacy and more innovative approaches among the farmers.

In Africa, as in other parts of the world, most people have traditionally acquired their skills, knowledge, and attitudes from institutions other than formal schools. Even where formal school systems have been established (a relatively recent phenomenon), it is still difficult to separate the impact of schooling from that of one's family, community, cultural and social institutions, and training on the job. But it has increasingly become apparent in all countries that learning acquired in a...

Summary Palaeomagnetic results are presented for 205 sites and over 600 cores from Upper Tertiary to Recent lavas and intrusions in the Gulf of Guinea volcanic area of equatorial West Africa. The island of Annobon is built up of a suite of reversely magnetized lavas about 18.4 My in age which give a mean direction of D = 189-2, I = 11.2 (N = 7, a95 = 153). A younger phase of volcanism dated as 2.6My has produced lavas with a mean direction of magnetization of D = 337-1, I = -44.3 (N = 7, ag5...

In 1970, 2383 Moroccan school children from twelve different areas, equally distributed by age (8-year-old and 12-year-old) and sex were examined. The examination procedure and the criteria employed were those described by WHO (1969). Variations were observed in the prevalence of dental caries among children in the twelve areas. Some, but not all, of these variations could be explained on the basis of variations in the fluoride content of the drinking water even though this was found to be...
