Turkey Moves Forward to Demine Upper Mesopotamia

The Turkish-Syrian border was first drawn in 1921, altered in 1938, and finally demarcated once again in 1956. Between 1991 and 1993, portions of the border were further demarcated, bringing the border deeper into Turkish territory. Most of the land in near the Turkish-Syrian border falls under the legal category of Forbidden Military Zone in the First and Second Degrees (i.e., public land administered by the Turkish military). Some of it is formerly privately-owned farmland nationalized during the 1956 demarcation

The food of the larvae of the northern anchovy Engraulis mordax

ENGLISH: Hitherto the only investigation dealing with the food and feeding of the larvae of the northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax Girard, was that of Arthur (1956). His main consideration was, however, with the Pacific sardine, Sardinops caerulea (Girard), and his work on the anchovy can only be considered preliminary. The present investigation is a continuation of Arthur's work on the food of the larval northern anchovy. SPANISH:El único trabajo publicado hasta ahora que trata sobre el alimento y nutrición de las larvas de la anchoa norteña, Engraulis mordax Girard, es el de Arthur (1956); pero su objeto principal fué la sardina del Pacifico, Sardinops caendea (Girard), y el estudio dedicado a la anchoa solo puede considerarse como preliminar. La presente investigación es una continuación del estudio de Arthur sobre el alimento de las larvas de la anchoa norteña

Ice Transport in the East Greenland Current and Its Causes

Examines, especially, the export of ice from the Arctic Ocean between Greenland and Svalbard, as it effects the Ocean's energy budget. The amounts exported monthly and annually by wind and by current are calculated, methods described. Total export, estimated at 950,000-1,000,000 km approaches the Russian estimates of 1,036,000 km. Annual variations 1921-1956 are calculated, and export by wind and that by current found equally variable. The general heat gain by ice and currents for the Arctic Ocean fluctuates with a mean deviation of 4.7%; but for a particular year, a difference of 15-20% is likely
