Ratio of natural isotopes of nitrogen. I. Primary results: soils of Dombes [Translation from: Revue d'Ecologie et de Biologie du Sol 14, 279-287, 1977]

Utilization of the heavy isotope of nitrogen as a tracer has found numerous applications in soil biology. It allows better definition of different stages of the nitrogen cycle, in particular the immobilization-mineralization cycle. In this work, the authors report the results of calculations of natural isotope ratios of nitrogen in samples of water, soil and vegetation prevailing in Dombes and discuss the possibilities of errors and coefficients of fractionation.

The role of ciliates in the pelagic life cycle of the Mediterranean [Translation from: Rapports et Proces Verbaux des Reunions-Conseil International pour l'Exploration de la Mer 17, 511-512, 1963]

During hydrographic and plankton studies carried out since 1960 in the coastal zone between the Ebro and Castellon (western Mediterranean), data has been collected which confirms the importance of ciliates in the composition and activity of the plankton. The ciliates in 413 samples of 100 ml of water were counted, having been examined with the Utermohl microscope after sedimentation. The samples studied were distributed according to the density of their population. subject for study. The author concludes that recognition of the role of ciliates as an important link in the food chain of the sea would simplify the interpretation of certain problems posed by the nutrition of certain groups of planktonic animals.

Vision 2050: changement climatique, pêche et aquaculture en Afrique de l’Ouest Du 14 au 16 avril 2010, Dakar, Sénégal

Ce rapport présente les activités et les résultats de l’atelier Vision 2050: Changement climatique, pêche et aquaculture en Afrique de l’Ouest. Les objectifs de l’atelier étaient de discuter les questions critiques et les incertitudes auxquelles est confronté le secteur de la pêche et de l’aquaculture au Ghana, au Sénégal et en Mauritanie, d’élaborer des scénarios sectoriels pour 2050 et de discuter de l’implication de ces scénarios dans le contexte du changement climatique pour ces pays et la région ouest africaine.

The different coding methods concerning artisanal collective fishing in the Ebrié lagoon, are exposed. For each computer program one example is proposed.

Eléments nutritifs et production primaire dans les lagunes du Côte d'Ivoire : cycle annuel

This paper collects most of the information gathered between October 1974 and July 1976 within the framework of a research program concerning the hydrobioclimate of ivorian lagoons and especially the Ebrié lagoon. Monthly surveys concerning the latter were carried out during 1975. The following parameters - and their vertical distribution wherever it had a meaning - were systematically gathered in a system of fifty-five stations: Transparency (Secchi), Temperature, Salinity, Chlorophylla, Dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite. These data provide an outline of the annual cycle of nutrients and primary production of the Ivoirian lagoons

This publication gives the results of the bottom trawlings made during the cruises Togo 3 and logo 4 by the oceanographic research vessel "Andre NIZERY" on the continental shelf of Togo during the estimation program of halieutic resources. The report includes: 1 - The report of the cruises Togo 3 and Togo 4 2 - Some information on the presentation of the results 3 - The trawl recording cards for the 2 cruises 4 - The length frequency distributions of the measured samples.

Variation saisonniere des structures hydrologique et dynamique du plateau continental ivoirien (VASPI I, II, III)

This data report contains all the meteorological, hydrological and dynamic data gathered during the VASPI cruises (I : from December 8th to December 13th 1982, II : from March 5th to March 9th 1983, and III : from October 6th to October 10th 1983) carried out along the continental shelf of Ivory Coast by the oceanographic ship "Andre NIZERY". These cruises, which represent a part of a coastal programme, are included in the more general scientific program FOCAL, whose main scientific objective is the study of the thermal context of the intertropical atlantic area.

O lúdico no trabalho: o ponto de vista da atividade como operador de análise do lúdico no trabalho dos menores em um programa adolescente trabalhador

A presente tese de doutorado propõe-se a investigar o lúdico como um ingrediente das situações de trabalho. Tem-se como referência teórica os materiais oriundos da Ergologia e das abordagens clinicas sobre trabalho: Psicodinâmica do Trabalho e Clinica da Atividade. Os autores pesquisados concordam que independentemente de época histórica, cultura e classe social, jogar e brincar fazem parte da vida da criança, onde real e imaginário se confundem. O jogo constitui uma função tão fundamental para a humanidade quanto a razão e a fabricação de objetos. A cultura possui um caráter essencialmente lúdico; é no jogo e pelo jogo que a civilização surge e se desenvolve. O brincar é uma atividade humana universal, própria da saúde, fundamento de todo o viver criativo, assim como da arte e da cultura. O próprio homem medieval é muito sensível ao lúdico e convive a cada instante com o riso e com a brincadeira. O foco desta pesquisa foi uma aproximação à realidade do trabalho de alguns integrantes de um Programa Adolescente Trabalhador, com idade entre 14 e 18 anos. O campo empírico foi a Gerência Regional de Logística do Banco do Brasil, situada no bairro do Andaraí, no município do Rio de Janeiro. Sete adolescentes participaram da Comunidade Ampliada de Pesquisa. O trabalho de campo foi norteado pela preocupação em evitar a supremacia do saber científico em relação a saberes advindos da prática. Este trabalho de pesquisa não se propôs a pesquisar a realidade de trabalho dos menores, mas investigar os movimentos discursivos produzidos nos Encontros desta Comunidade de Pesquisa. Conforme a abordagem da Clínica da Atividade chama-se à atenção para vários impedimentos da emergência da dimensão lúdica em função dos constrangimentos da organização do trabalho. Por fim, questiona-se que modos de gestão olham para a realidade e o real do trabalho e da atividade, aceitando o lúdico como foco analítico, incorporando essa reserva de alternativa, investigando toda uma riqueza aí potencialmente presente e desconhecida.

Résumé des connaissances actuelles sur la biologie et la pêche des thons tropicaux en Atlantique

This work summarizes the present knowledge on biology and fisheries of Atlantic tuna such as yellowfin (Thunnus albacares), skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) and to a lesser extent, bigeye (Thunnus obesus) and albacore (Thunnus alalunga). Current appraisal of these stocks

Stations cotieres et station hydrologique cotiere d'Abidjan: annees 1980-1981

Beach surface temperature is recorded every morning between 7h30 and 8h00 at each coastal station. On figure 2, 3, 4 and 5 it has been plotted daily variation and mean variation computed on 7, 15 and 30 days basis of sea surface temperature. However it seems that variations of dynamic height anomaly are reflecting more accurately the stages of the coastal upwelling than the sea surface temperature.

Observations de la temperature et des courants sur le plateau continental ivoirien

The Centre de Recherches Océanographiques d'Abidjan has carried out the HYDROBIOCLIMAT program in order to study the seasonal and interannual fluctuations of the physical and biological parameters over the continental shelf of Ivory Coast ; two subsurface moorings with from one to three AANDERAA current meters fixed on the lines, were deployed in front of Abidjan and San Pedro. Temperature and current measurement records are presented at these two locations.
