Manam volcano consists of relatively mafic and compositionally similar tholeiitic basalts and low-SiO2 andesites that are characterized by notably low (mainly 0·3–0·35 weight per cent) TiO2 contents. These rocks provide an ideal opportunity to investigate both the extent of depletion in their peridotite magma-source regions (which are evidently similar in many respects to the highly depleted sources of boninitic magmas), and the interplay of the high-level processes of magma mixing, crystal...

The most common forms of construction, consisting of stone masonry and adobe, suffered very extensive damage. The destruction of houses was mainly due to failure of the superstructure and none due to the movement of foundations. An above-ground reinforced concrete...

The frequency selectivity of the cochlea was measured in pigmented guinea pigs with implanted electrodes using simultaneous masking paradigm. In animals with experimentally induced deafness, AP tuning curves are broadened by a factor of 2-3 as compared with normal animals. The deterioration of frequency selectivity is thought to correlate with extent of the outer hair cells loss. The deterioration of threshold and tuning properties of the cochlea seem to be induced by the loss of the functional integrity of the outer hair cells.

Oil spillages are prominent features of petroleum exploitation in Nigeria. For instance, within the decade 1970-1980, the country experienced 18 major spills. Oil pollution adversely affects the water and soil resources of the petroleum-producing Niger Delta. There have been attempts to manage the increasing menace of oil spills, and two strategies may be identified. These are the legislative and the project implementation approaches. The first approach relies on preventative laws, while the...
