An error in the program for verifying the Ankeny-Artin-Chowla (AAC) conjecture is reported. As a result, in the case of primes p which are ≡ 5 mod 8, the AAC conjecture has been verified using a different multiple of the regulator of the quadratic field Q(√p) than was meant. However, since any multiple of this regulator is suitable for this purpose, provided that it is smaller than 8p, the main...

An analysis of wetland inventory undertaken in Africa was conducted during 1998/99. This was part of a global project to examine the extent of wetland inventory and provide best estimates of the extent of wetlands. The best estimate for Africa was a total area of wetlands estimated as ca. 123 000 000 ha, covering about 4% of the land surface. More than 85% of the area (ca. 107 500 000 ha) of th...
