A new Salmonella type (S. Zega) from the Belgian Congo.
From the intestines of ducklings which became ill or died during an epidemic in Zega (Lac Albel't) 2 Salmonella strains belonging to a new type were isolated. One strain (1740) was sent to the International Salmonella Centre in Copenhagen and analysed. The biochemical behaviour of this new type is as follows: No fermentation of adonitol, inositol, lactose, salicin, and sucrose. No production of...
متن کاملAnalysis of statistics and anomalies of rainfall in Iran during the Warm period(1951-2010)
Investigating the variability of the spatial-temporal pattern of rainfall, which can lead to climate change, due to its strong impact, is of interest to various scientists. For this purpose, after receiving the daily precipitation data of 27 stations for the period of 60 years (2010-1951), its quality and the total monthly precipitation and statistics necessary for the continuation of the resea...
متن کاملCongo Basin rainfall climatology: can we believe the climate models?
The Congo Basin is one of three key convective regions on the planet which, during the transition seasons, dominates global tropical rainfall. There is little agreement as to the distribution and quantity of rainfall across the basin with datasets differing by an order of magnitude in some seasons. The location of maximum rainfall is in the far eastern sector of the basin in some datasets but t...
متن کاملCutting the Flesh: Surgery, Autopsy and Cannibalism in the Belgian Congo
Within the colonial setting of the Belgian Congo, the process of cutting the body, whether living or dead, lent itself to conflation with cannibalism and other fantastic consumption stories by both Congolese and Belgian observers. In part this was due to the instability of the meaning of the human body and the human corpse in the colonial setting. This essay maps out different views of the cada...
متن کاملRainfall statistics, stationarity, and climate change
There is a growing research interest in the detection of changes in hydrologic and climatic time series. Stationarity can be assessed using the autocorrelation function, but this is not yet common practice in hydrology and climate. Here, we use a global land-based gridded annual precipitation (hereafter P) database (1940-2009) and find that the lag 1 autocorrelation coefficient is statistically...
