Argyrella richardsiae, a new species of Melastomataceae from the wet miombo woodlands of south-central Africa
2017
A new species from the wet miombo woodlands of Tanzania and Angola, Argyrella richardsiae Veranso-Libalah & G.Kadereit, sp. nov. (Melastomataceae, Melastomateae), is described and illustrated. Although the widespread Argyrella canescens also occurs in Tanzania and northeastern Angola, A. richardsiae is morphologically most similar to Argyrella bambutorum known only from the Northwest of Cameroon, but differs by its indumentum of glandular trichomes on the entire plant (versus a mixture of stellate and glandular trichomes in other species of Argyrella), leaf-blades with serrulate margins (versus entire margins in A. bambutorum) and lateral nerves that become faint mid-way and never reach…
Studies on the Australia antigen
1972
Australia antigen typings on leprosy and control samples from West Bengal (India) and Angola (Africa) showed a considerably higher incidence of this antigen in lepromatous lepers as compared with other types of this disease resp. controls. By this the findings of Blumberg et al. (1967) in the Philippines could be confirmed. The possible reasons for this observations are discussed.
Polymorphism of C'3 in German, Bulgarian, Iranian and Angola population
1973
Using agarose gel electrophoresis, C'3 was typed in 4 populations. The gene frequencies of the common allele C'3S in these 4 populations were Germans (0.8071), Bulgarians (0.8149), Iranians (0.7920) and Angola (0.9532). The results are discussed.
Segmentation and differential post-rift uplift at the Angola margin as recorded by the transform-rifted Benguela and oblique-to-orthogonal-rifted Kwa…
2010
29 pages; International audience; We analyse tectonic and sedimentary field and subsurface data for the Angola onshore margin together with free-air gravity anomaly data for the offshore margin. This enables us to characterize the mode of synrift tectonism inherited from the Precambrian and its impact on the segmentation of the Angola margin. We illustrate that segmentation by the progressive transition from the Benguela transform-rifted margin segment to the oblique-rifted South Kwanza and orthogonal-rifted North Kwanza margin segments. The spatial variation in the intensity of post-rift uplift is demonstrated by the study of a set of geomorphic markers detected in the post-rift succession…
LAS REFORMAS INSTITUCIONALES COMO MEDIO DE FORTALECIMIENTO DE LA DEMOCRACIA, Y COMO COMBATE CONTRA LA CORRUPCIÓN Y LA IMPUNIDAD: UNA CONTRIBUCIÓN PAR…
2019
Es común ver regímenes dictatoriales o conflictos armados, o ambos, repetidos en el mismo país. Esto nos invita a iniciar una reflexión sobre la necesidad de demostrar que la implementación y puesta en marcha de una agenda de "transición política" debe centrarse en la seriedad y en el tipo de reformas institucionales a adoptar, ya que se trata de medidas importantes y elementales para garantizar el fortalecimiento del Estado de Derecho, la reconstrucción del Estado, la reconciliación nacional, la consolidación democrática y las respectivas instituciones, que permitan superar el legado autoritario o el conflicto armado que ha vivido una sociedad. Es evidente que cuando hablamos del país que …
Further studies on associations between leprosy and genetic markers in human serum.
1973
Seven serum proteins were typed on a sample of 910 individuals from Angola, Africa. The sample consisted of both leprosy patients and healthy controls from the same geographical area. Significant associations with leprosy were found for the Hp and Pi systems. The results are discussed.
A review of carbonatitic magmatism in the Parana-Angola-Namibia (PAN) system.
2007
Mesozoic to Cenozoic alkaline-carbonatitic complexes from southern Brazil, Angola and Namibia occur along main tectonic lineaments. In general, the alkaline-carbonatite complexes show intrusive/subintrusive, subcircular or oval shaped structures and are indicative of high upwelling energy. Processes of liquid immiscibility from trachytic-phonolitic liquids, starting from parental alkaline mafic magmas are believed to have generated carbonatitic liquids, as suggested by field relationships and geochemical characteristics. Ca-, Mg- and Fe-carbonatites are widespread even in the same complex. The occurrences comprise three main chronogroups, i.e. 1) Early Cretaceous (Eastern Paraguay; Brazil, …
Les ammonites de la limite Albien - Cénomanien dans la région de Sumbe (Bassin de la Kwanza, Angola).
2011
97 pages; International audience; Une faune originale, pour l’essentiel constituée d’ammonites de grande taille, est décrite pour le Crétacé angolais (Albien supérieur etCénomanien inférieur) de la région de Sumbe. La limite de ces étages est précisée et est caractérisée par la présence de Mortoniceras(Subschloenbachia) aff. perinflatum (Spath), Arestoceras goliath (Haas), Mariella (Mariella) gr. bergeri (Brongniart) pour l’Albienterminal et de Mariella (Mariella) gr. oehlerti (Pervinquière), Mariella (Mariella) aff. gallienii (Boule, Lemoine & Thévenin)et des Sharpeiceras du groupe de S. florencae Spath et de Sharpeiceras aff. schlueteri Hyatt pour le Cénomanien basal. L’espèceA. goliath (…
On the population genetics of the ceruloplasmin polymorphism
1972
The frequencies of Cp-variants in 3 European, 1 Asiatic and 3 African populations are reported. The most striking fact is the high incidence of the CpA-allele not only in the African but also in 2 European samples.
Distribution of Albian clastic deposits in the Benguela basin (Angola): evidence of a Benguela palaeocurrent?
2009
Abstract The Albian clastic Tuenza Formation of the Benguela basin (south Angola) is described and its geographic distribution analysed in detail. From these observations, the existence of an Albian “PalaeoBenguela current” is proposed. This would imply that a marine longshore current reworked the sand transported by palaeorivers and settled it northward along the coast of the young Atlantic Ocean (during the Albian). A parallel between Albian clastic deposits and the modern sediments deposited by the Benguela current is drawn, focusing on the striking resemblance between the two currents, i.e. the actual Benguela current and the Albian marine current, and the associated sedimentary bodies.
