Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae
Bull. Mus. nati. Hist, nat., Paris, 4' sér., 14, 1992, section A, nos 3-4 : 655-691. Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae by P. Graham OLIVER and Rudo VON COSEL Abstract. — Five species of Noetiidae are described from tropical West Africa, defined here as between 23° N and 17°S. The Noetiidae are represented by five genera, and four new taxa are introduced : Stenocista n. gen., erected for Area gambiensis Reeve; Sheldonella minutalis n. sp., Striarca lactea scoliosa n. subsp. and Striarca lactea epetrima n. subsp. Striarca lactea shows considerable variation within species. Ecological factors and geographical clines are invoked to explain some of this variation but local genetic isolation could not be excluded. The relationships of the shallow water West African noetiid species are analysed and compared to the faunas of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panamic and Indo- Pacific regions. Stenocista is the only genus endemic to West Africa. A general discussion on the relationships of all the shallow water West African Arcoidea is presented. The level of generic endemism is low and there is clear evidence of circumtropical patterns of similarity between species. The greatest affinity is with the Indo-Pacific but this pattern is not consistent between subfamilies. Notably the Anadarinae have greatest similarity to the Panamic faunal province. Résumé. — Description de cinq espèces de Noetiidae d'Afrique occidentale tropicale, ici définie entre 23° N et 17° S. Les Noetiidae sont représentés par cinq genres.

En Route to the Cape Verde Islands: Las Palmas – Santiago
EN ROUTE TO THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS: LAS PALMAS – SANTIAGO El Hierro – the most pristine of the Canary Islands Little El Hierro with its tranquil villages is the perfect island to unwind. Far from the bustle of the Canaries, walkers and hikers find here their perfect natural paradise. From steep ciffs to green highlands, from lava deserts to mystical cloud forests, this small volcanic island of just 278 square kilometres (107 square miles) features the most diverse natural landscapes and temperate zones. The rich cultural mix of Cape Verde Not just geographically, Cape Verde is situated between Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. The Portuguese colony was a hub of the slave trade and exile for the religiously persecuted. Since 1461, customs, musical traditions and genes have amalgamated to the entirely new Creole culture. In 1975, the República Cabo Verde proudly declared its independence. São Vicente – native island of Cesária Évora Violin sounds mingle with African drums, Fado meets Polka and creates musical styles like Morna, Batuque and Funaná: The Cape Verde Islands are a melting pot of world music. Cesária Évora from lively Mindelo was the isles’ most famous singer. Barefoot and with a sweet melancholy, she sang of love, hurt and hope and is still revered today as the “Queen of Morna”. Santo Antão, the island of contrast The second largest island of Cape Verde enchants with its ITINERARY spectacular natural diversity. While the volcanic craters in the barren south are reminiscent of moonscapes, rocky Day 1 Las Palmas/Gran Canaria mountainous landscapes alternate with green and fertile valleys in the north. -

The Kunming-Vientiane Railway: the Economic, Procurement, Labor, and Safeguards Dimensions of a Chinese Belt and Road Project
The Kunming-Vientiane Railway: The Economic, Procurement, Labor, and Safeguards Dimensions of a Chinese Belt and Road Project Scott Morris Abstract The Kunming-Vientiane (K-V) railway, part of the Kunming-Singapore multi-country rail network (or “Pan-Asia Railway”), is an anchor investment of the Chinese government’s Belt and Road initiative (BRI). This case study will assess the rail project along four dimensions: economic implications; procurement arrangements; labor; and environmental and social safeguards. In each of these areas, evidence from the railway project suggests that Chinese policy and practice could be better aligned with the practices of other sources of multilateral and bilateral development finance. Where the project’s standards are broadly aligned, at least in principle, there is nonetheless reason to believe that China’s approach carries heightened risks given the overall scale of financing. These risks hold for China’s global program of official finance, which has made the country the largest source of official credit in the world. In this regard, BRI policymakers should consider a more rigorous set of “best practices” that align Chinese official finance with leading multilateral standards, even if these practices don’t currently characterize many other Center for Global Development bilateral lenders. Such an approach would be consistent with the multilateral vision for BRI 2055 L Street NW espoused by Chinese officials and reflected in the framework of the annual Belt and Road Fifth Floor Forum for International Cooperation. This study considers what a stronger set of standards Washington DC 20036 would look like in the context of the four areas of focus. -
URBAN BIOCLIMATE and COMFORT ASSESSMENT in the AFRICAN CITY of PRAIA (CAPE VERDE)
Finisterra, XLIX, 98, 2014, pp. 33-48 URBAN BIOCLIMATE AND COMFORT ASSESSMENT IN THE AFRICAN CITY OF PRAIA (CAPE VERDE) ANTÓNIO LOPES1 EZEQUIEL CORREIA2 JUDITE M. DO NASCIMENTO3 PAULO CANÁRIO4 Abstract – The population of Praia (Ilha de Santiago/Cape Verde) has recently increased from 90,000 inhabitants in 2000 to 132,300 in 2012. Located in the southern part of the Santiago Island, the city has an average temperature of 22ºC and high values of humidity. The hot and rainy season occurs between July and October. According to the Cape Verde “National Climate Change Adaptation” report, the temperatures increased about 1ºC in the last 15 years and s cenarios indicate an annual warming between 0.7ºC and 2.5ºC until 2060. This will lead to the deterioration of bioclimatic comfort conditions, especially in urban areas. The main goals of this research are: i) to make a first-hand assessment of bioclimatic conditions and human comfort in the city of Praia; ii) to evaluate the main microclimatic and urban factors that increase thermal stress in a “planned” neighbourhood (Palmarejo). It was shown that “moderate and strong heat stress” (PET>29ºC) occurs between August and October. The rest of the year hardly any heat stress occurs (18ºC<PET<29ºC). In the Palmarejo neighbourhood, heat stress in hot days (PET>40ºC) happens especially in poorly ventilated streets, well exposed to the sun. Keywords: Urban bioclimatology, thermal patterns, heat stress, PET, Praia, Cape Verde. Resumo – AVALIAÇÃO DO BIOCLIMA URBANO E DO CONFORTO TÉRMICO DA PRAIA (CABO VERDE). A população da cidade da Praia aumentou de 90 000 habitantes, em 2000, para 132 300 em 2012. -
