متن کاملInstantaneous dynamics of the cratonic Congo basin
[1] Understanding the formation mechanisms of cratonic basins provides an examination of the rheological, compositional and thermal properties of continental cratons. However, these mechanisms are poorly understood because there are few currently active cratonic basins. One cratonic basin thought to be active is the Congo basin located in equatorial Africa. The Congo basin is coincident with a ...

Using historical, longitudinal study data from the rural area of Bwamanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, we investigated the potential causal association between diet and the development of kwashiorkor in 5 657 preschool children followed 3-monthly during 15 months.

متن کاملNew insights into chimpanzees, tools, and termites from the Congo Basin.
The tool-using behaviors of wild chimpanzees comprise the most impressive assemblages and flexible repertoires of nonhuman material culture. We expand knowledge of the breadth and complexity of tool use in this species by providing the first descriptions of the form and function of two distinct tool sets used by chimpanzees in preying upon termites within the forests of the Goualougo Triangle, ...
