Distribution of the Common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) and the Desert warthog (P. aethiopicus) in the Horn of Africa and N Kenya.

The rediscovery of Ph. aethiopicus in N Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia prompted a detailed investigation on the respective distribution of the two species of warthog, with a focus on their status, hab itat, diet and behaviour. Areas of sympatry help determine their distinct ecological niche and possible interspecific interactions. Joint research project with Drs Y. de Jong and T. Butynski. ... [more]

Eastern Africa Primate Conservation and Diversity Program

The Eastern Africa Primate Diversity and Conservation Program is a long term research program based in Kenya. The program, founded in 2003, focuses mainly on primate biogeography, diversity, taxono my and conservation in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. However, the program also looks into the biogeography of other African mammals including the desert warthog, various antilope species and the African golden cat. ... [more]

Lolldaiga Hills Research Programme

The Lolldaiga Hills Research Programme (LHRP) was initiated on 1st August 2013 as part of the research arm of the Sustainability Centre Eastern Africa (SCEA). The goal of the LHRP is to maintain, i f not enhance, the conservation values of the LHCL over the long-term, while allowing for the sustainable use of the landscape’s natural resources. The LHRP will (1) establish climatic, ecological, and land-use baselines, and document and evaluate climatic, ecological, and land-use change, its direction (trend), its extent, and its significance (impact), (2) undertake and support applied ecological research, particularly on threatened species and habitats, and (3) conduct and support research relevant to the sustainable use of, and reclamation of, natural resources. ...

Africa, Where Art Thou? Pondering Post-Apartheid South African New Testament Scholarship

January 2014 · Neotestamentica

Maarman Tshehla

Nearly fifty years' worth of organised New Testament research has South Africa firmly secured on the world map as a locale for serious biblical scholarship. A little over half of this accomplishment unfolded during apartheid days. The apparent dearth of black South African contributions from this impressive gallery is both understandable and difficult. This article ponders the story of New ... [Show full abstract] Testament scholarship in South Africa chiefly through the porthole that is the New Testament Society of South(ern) Africa. It enquires what it would take for all of Africa to embrace and be embraced by the outstanding legacy that is South African New Testament scholarship.

Software development on large dimension astronomical images

January 1988

Numerical reduction techniques for large-dimension (10,000 x 10,000-pixel) astronomical images obtained by microdensitometer scanning of photographic plates are described and demonstrated. Consideration is given to the calibration procedure, smoothing algorithms and other noise-reduction methods, image stacking, search algorithms for object detection, photometric analysis, and star-galaxy ... [Show full abstract] separation. The catalogs produced by the reduction include positions with accuracy about 0.3 arcsec, classification and morphological data, magnitudes within a number of apertures, and multiple listings when data from different wavelength bands or at different epochs are analyzed. Diagrams, graphs, and sample contour maps are provided.
