A/AC.105/4I UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales Number :E.68.I.4 Price : W.S. 2.00 (or equivalent in other currencies) Note by the Secretariat To assist the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space in its worki the Secretary-General has been asked to continue the compilation and updating of information on facilities for education and training 'n basic subjects related to the peaceful uses of outer space. Following requests by the Secretary-General in 1965, many Member States submitted information on their national programmes, and further replies were received fromthespecializedagencies. PublicationsA/AC.105/28 and A/AC.105/C.1/L.11 and L.11/Add.1 were based thereon. The prcsent directory includes all this information, modified when necessary in the light of additional replies since receved, and it includes also much new material obtained from government agencies, learned societies, research establish- ments, universities and other institutions throughout the world.Acknowledgement is also made to the many sources listed in the bibliography at the end of this directory. The Secretariat of the United Nations was assisted in the compilatioa of the directory by a special consultant, Mr. S. Buchanan, B.Sc., A.F.R.Ae.S., F.B.I.S., A.F.A.I.A.A., of the City University, London. Although efforts have been made to check the accuracy and completeness of the information herein, it has not always been possible to do so.Inevitably, in work of this complexity, some omissions and mistakes will have occurred, and the Outer Space Affairs Group of the Secretariat of the United Nations would be grateful if recipients of the directory would advise them of any such errors. In interpreting the phrase " basic subjects related to the peaceful uses of outer space ", it is cleatly possible to include a very wide range of the total field of formal education in all countries. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, medicine, law, economics and other domains could all be relevant. The compilers have taken the main peaceful uses as scientific investigation, communication, meteorology and navigation, and have tried to include all these and diyectly allied subjects, with other basic subjects brought in where they seemed especially important. The designation of countries and territories and the arrangements of material in this publication should not be considered as implying any endorsement or other judgement by the Secretariat of the United Nations regarding the legal status of any country or territory, or of its authorities, or in respect of the delimitation of its boundaries. *40.

  • Unity-Progress-Justice” Burkina Faso
    Burkina Faso Unity-Progress-Justice” The official flag of Burkina Faso The rural countryside Woman in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso 1 Location and Geography Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa and is around 274,200 square kilometres in size. It is surrounded by six other nations: Mali to the north, Niger to the east, Benin to the southeast, Togo and Ghana to the south, and the Ivory Coast to the southwest. As of 2014, it had an estimated population of 17.3 million people. It is home to 42 people per square kilometer. The capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou. This country is made up of two types of land. Majority of the country is covered by a peneplain, with a few isolated hills. However, the southwest of the country is the opposite. It forms a sandstone massif and houses the highest peak in Burkina Faso—Mount Tenakourou. At an elevation of 749 meters (or 2,457 ft), Mount Tenakourou stands out in the relatively flat country which averages an altitude of 400 meters. Mount Tenakourou The country we know as Burkina Faso was formerly known as the Republic of Upper Volta up until 1984. It owes its former name to the three rivers which run across it. The Black Volta, the White Volta, and the Red Volta. The Black Volta is one of only two rivers which flows year round and is a primary source of water to many animals, and sadly, people. Natives canoeing in the Black Volta Location of Burkina Faso 2 Climate and Environment Burkina Faso has a primarily tropical climate but has two very distinct seasons—the rainy season and the dry season.

  • Sexual Selection Can Reduce Mutational Load in Drosophila Subobscura
    UDC 575 DOI: 10.2298/GENSR1302537V Original scientific paper SEXUAL SELECTION CAN REDUCE MUTATIONAL LOAD IN DROSOPHILA SUBOBSCURA Marija SAVI Ć VESELINOVI Ć1, Sofija PAVKOVI Ć-LU ČIĆ1, Zorana KURBALIJA NOVI ČIĆ2, Mihailo JELI Ć1, Marko AN ĐELKOVI Ć1,2,3 1 Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 2 Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 3 Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, Serbia Veselinovi ć Savi ć M., S. Pavkovi ć Lu čić, Z. Kurbalija Novi čić, M. Jeli ć and M. An đelkovi ć (2013): Sexual selection can reduce mutational load in Drosophila subobscura. Genetika, Vol 45, No. 2, 537-552. According to theoretical predictions sexual selection can reduce mutational load through male mating success. Males of good genetic quality should be more successful in matings, compared to the males of low genetic quality, thus in this way females can prevent deleterious alleles to be transmitted to the next generation. We tested this hypothesis through set up of two experimental groups from same genetic pool, where in one group genetic quality was manipulated by ionizing radiation. Within each group opportunity for choosing mates was imposed: males and females had no choice or had multiple choice. Mutational load was measured through the variability of different fitness components: fecundity and egg-to-adult viability. Our results indicate that sexual selection can reduce mutational load, only for fecundity. Group with the presence of female choice exhibited higher fecundity than group in which sexual selection was experimentally eliminated, but only in “irradiated” group. There was no overall difference in egg-to-adult viability between different sexual selection regimes in any of the group.
