Co-lenders : African Development Bank (AfDB) US$21.0 million equivalent, for 19 years, including 4 years of grace, at 11.5 percent interest per annum; Caisse Centrale de Cooperation Economique (CCCE-France), US$5.0 million equivalent, 15 years, including 5 years of grace, at 10 percent per annum; and Fonds d'Aide et de Cooperation (FAC-France), US$1.0 million equivalent (grant). Project Description The Project seeks to rehabilitate the deep-water port at M4atadi and the river port at Kinshasa, and includes: civil works for the reconstruction or construction of quays and related facilities and service systems; procurement of cargo handling and fire-fighting equipment, and replacement of ONATRA's main computer; and the provision of consulting services for supervision of civil works, technical assistance, training and studies. Project Benefits : The main benefit of the Project would be to arrest the deterioration of the facilities and improve the productivity of the two ports which handle the bulk of Zaire's international trade and, in the case of Kinshasa, a major portion of national trade as well. Technical risks associated with the Project are minimal, given the proven capability of ONATRA, and the supervision of works by consultants.

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSED CREDIT TO THE REPUBLIC OF ZAIRE FOR A PORTS REHABILITATION PROJECT 1. I submit the following report and recommendation on a proposed development credit to the Republic of Zaire for the equivalent of SDR 23.1 million (US$25.0 million equivalent) on standard IDA terms to help finance a ports rehabilitation project. The proceeds of the proposed Credit (except for the equivalent of US$500,000, for studies) would be relent by the Republic of Zaire to the Office National des Transports (ONATRA) for a period of 14 years, including 4 years of grace, at an interest rate of 15 percent per annum. Co-financing for the Project is being considered by the African Development Bank (AfDB) for the equivalent of US$21.0 million; by the Caisse Centrale de Cooperation Economique (CCCE-France), for the equivalent of US$5.0 million, and by the Fonds d'Aide et de Cooperation (FAC-France), for US$1.0 million equivalent. PART I - THE ECONOMY 1/ 2. The last economic memorandum (Report No. 3287-ZR) was distributed on June 8, 1981 and focused on developments in 1979 and 1980. An economic mission visited Zaire in March 1982; its report has been recently discussed with the Government and will be distributed in January 1983. Background 3. Zaire is the third largest country in Africa in terms of area and the fifth largest in terms of population, but its GNP per capita, estimated at about US$220 in 1980, ranks among the lowest in the continent. Approximately one-third of its population of about 28 million live in urban areas, and the population density is 12 persons per sq. km. Urbanization has been proceeding at a rate of about 7 percent per annum, or more than two and a half times the rate of population growth. Although agriculture (commercialized and subsistence) normally accounts for 30 percent of GDP, it provides employment and income for more than three-quarters of the population. Mining and mineral-processing normally account for about 18 percent of GDP; this sector has traditionally been the largest source of public revenue and provides more than two-thirds of the country's export earnings. (The shares cited are 1979-81 averages). 4. When Zaire gained independence in 1960, it was ill-prepared for the change, both technically and institutionally. The first six to seven years following independence were marked by violent political strife and a severe disruption of the economy. But after the restoration of political order and stability in 1967, GDP grew by about 7 percent in real terms annually until 1974. Since then, however, Zaire has been experiencing serious economic difficulties which have brought about a continuous decline in per capita income. 1/ This section is reprinted verbatim from Report No. P-3447-ZR, of January 11, 1983; (Report and Recommendation of the President for a Northeast Rural Development Project). -2- Beginning of Current Difficulties 5. Although the downswing of the Zairian economy started in 1975, the current difficulties of Zaire are in many respects the result of developments which took place in earlier years. Among these were: the progressive accentuation of the country's dependence on the mining sector, accompanied by the relative neglect of agricultural production; heavy external borrowing during 1973-74, mostly from private banks, at average terms inconsistent with Zaire's level of development and for projects with long gestation periods and uncertain economic benefits; and attempts to change drastically the ownership structure of the economy through the zairianization and nationalization measures of 1973-74. Though since rescinded, the zairianization and nationalization measures had particularly adverse and lasting effects on the economy: they seriously damaged private sector confidence both at home and abroad, severely disrupted the transport and marketing, links between urban centers and the interior, and resulted in the neglect of the country's productive capacity and infrastructure. The deterioration of Zaire's terms of trade since 1975, owing largely to the fall in the international price of copper, was a major contributor to both the severity and the duration of the crisis. 6. Zaire's attempts to cope with the crisis were uneven and uncoordinated. As a result, by 1978, commercialized GDP contracted to about 10 percent below the pre-crisis (1972-74) level; the overall budgetary deficit attained a record level equivalent to about 12 percent of commercialized GDP; and deficit financing, together with the worsening shortages of basic consumer goods, fuel and intermediate products, pushed the annual inflation rate to about 50 percent.

Davies ([email protected]) Received: 7 October 2019 – Discussion started: 25 October 2019 Revised: 3 February 2020 – Accepted: 8 February 2020 – Published: 20 March 2020 Abstract. The Earth is currently 180 Myr into a supercontinent cycle that began with the break-up of Pangaea and which will end around 200–250 Myr (million years) in the future, as the next supercontinent forms. As the continents move around the planet they change the geometry of ocean basins, and thereby modify their resonant properties. In doing so, oceans move through tidal resonance, causing the global tides to be profoundly affected. Here, we use a dedicated and established global tidal model to simulate the evolution of tides during four future supercontinent scenarios. We show that the number of tidal resonances on Earth varies between one and five in a supercontinent cycle and that they last for no longer than 20 Myr.

  • Mantle Plumes and Mantle Dynamics in the Wilson Cycle
    Mantle plumes and mantle dynamics in the Wilson cycle PHILIP J. HERON Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University, Elvet Hill, Durham DH1 3LE, UK 0000-0002-4813-0504 [email protected] Abstract: This review discusses the thermal evolution of the mantle following large-scale tectonic activities such as continental collision and continental rifting. About 300 myr ago, continental material amalgamated through the large-scale subduction of oceanic seafloor, marking the termination of one or more oceanic basins (e.g. Wilson cycles) and the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea. The present day location of the continents is due to the rifting apart of Pangaea, with the dispersal of the supercontinent being characterized by increased volcanic activity linked to the generation of deep mantle plumes. The discussion presented here investigates theories regarding the thermal evolution of the mantle (e.g. mantle temperatures and sub-continental plumes) following the formation of a supercontinent. Rifting, orogenesis and mass eruptions from large igneous prov- inces change the landscape of the lithosphere, whereas processes related to the initiation and termination of oce- anic subduction have a profound impact on deep mantle reservoirs and thermal upwelling through the modification of mantle flow. Upwelling and downwelling in mantle convection are dynamically linked and can influence processes from the crust to the core, placing the Wilson cycle and the evolution of oceans at the forefront of our dynamic Earth. The theory of plate tectonics describes the movement proposed a cycle describing the opening and closing of the Earth’s lithosphere, while the convective of oceanic basins, and therefore a method of amal- motion of the Earth’s mantle drives the tectonic gamating continental material that would subse- plates to determine the present day position of the quently be dispersed.

In the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid our institute celebrated its hundredth birthday, a festive event which illustrated once more that ITM has indeed acquired an enviable reputation with regard to education, research and the provision of services in tropical health care. We were most pleased that directors of our partner institutions worldwide, as well as the chairmen of important international organizations, amongst whom also our former professor Dr. Peter Piot, director of UNAIDS, travelled to Antwerp to partake in the celebrations. It proves how much the efforts of our institute are appreciated. The undisputed highlight of the jubilee, however, was the official opening of our brand new teaching campus at the beautifully renovated 7th century Capuchin convent. Once a forgotten piece of Antwerp, today it is a marvellous campus, which will not only make a lasting impression on our students, but will also contribute to the dynamism of our institute.

    Uncommon Knowledge.indd 3 14/08/2019 15:56 Untitled-2 1 29/11/2017 16:30 Introduction: The joy of uncommon knowledge “EVERYTHING THAT IS NEW or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination,” wrote Joseph Addison, an English essayist and poet, “because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.” He was writing in 1712, but today, more than three centuries later, his remark neatly summarises the objective of this book. This is a compendium of explanations, and what they all have in common is that they are uncommon: a word that has two meanings. On the one hand, it refers to things that are rare or infrequently encountered. In the realm of knowledge, that means things that not many people are aware of or know about. But these unusual explanations also have the power to stretch your mind and subtly change how you see the world. In other words, they are uncommon in the second sense of the word, which means exceptional and extraordinary. As Addison observed, uncommon knowledge is enjoyable to encounter because it is unexpected and surprising; because a neat explanation is mentally satisfying; and because encountering a previously unfamiliar idea, and storing it away for future reference, expands the intellect. Many people would be surprised to hear that the global suicide rate is falling; that most refugees do not live in camps; that carrots were not originally orange; or that the far side of the Moon isn’t always dark.
