Some aspects of the geochemistry of gallium in silicate rocks and stony meteorites by Willis, James P

“…The objects of the work presented here were: to develop an accurate method for the determination of gallium on a routine basis in rocks and meteorites at concentrations down to or less than 1 ppm Ga with a precision (c.o.v.) at the 10 ppm level and above of 1-2% (1s); to apply this technique to the determination of Ga in rocks and meteorites; by critically examining the high quality data thus obtained, to compare the distribution of gallium in various meteorite types, as well as in igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, seeking to define, where possible, the fine structure of its distribution and its relationship with aluminium during geological processes; and to evaluate the possibility of using variations in the gallium contents and Ga/Al ratios of rocks both to assist in the interpretation of the geochemical history of differentiated suites and to define regional differences, as has been done with other trace elements. …”

To what extent can a South African resident donor's offshore investment trust be arranged so as to avoid the following South African taxes and duty by May, Carl

“…The report will also examine the ramifications for a South African donor and beneficiary from an income tax, capital gains tax, donations tax and estate duty point of view that will exclude a consideration of value added tax and regional services council levies on the basis that the offshore trusts being considered here, are not business or trading trusts in most instances. …”

The limits on the use of force in international dispute resolution the case of Somalia by Abdellaoui, Jamila El

“…Somalia is often the first country that comes to mind when one searches for an example of a 'failed state.'1 The country has known civil strife for more than 15 years.2 After almost a decade of civil war, in which no functioning government existed, a peace process was initiated in early 2000.3 A Transitional National Government (TNG) was established in August 2000 but the newly acquired peace in the country soon proved to be short-lived.4 Another peace process followed in 2004, which finally led to the establishment of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG).5 Unfortunately, this regionally initiated peace process also failed to be inclusive and responsive to the root causes of the conflict that has ravaged the country for so long and fighting between different parties continued.…”

Potential impacts of climate change on hydrological droughts in the Limpopo river basin by Makhanya, Nokwethaba Zamanguni

“…This thesis projects the potential effect of climate change on the future characteristics of hydrological droughts in the Limpopo River Basin (LRB). The study uses regional climate model (RCM) measurements (from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment, CORDEX) and a combination of hydrological simulations (using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool Plus model, SWAT+) to predict the impacts at four global warming levels (GWLs: 1.5℃, 2.0℃, 2.5℃, and 3.0℃) under the RCP8.5 future climate scenario. …”
