Topic: Guinea Current


  
  The Guinea Current
Thus, Lemasson and Rebert suggested that the presence of a westward current at the surface near the coast could be due to the surfacing of the Ivoirian Undercurrent and the seaward displacement of the Guinea Current, not due to the reversal of the Guinea Current (Colin 1988).

 USAID Guinea / Agriculture,Economic Growth and Trade: Microfinance Linked to U.S. Bank   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Guinea, "the watershed of West Africa," whose mountains yield the origins of the Gambia, Senegal and Niger rivers, has been recovering from Sekou Toure’s suppressive, isolationist rule in which, among other things, a prosperous agriculture sector was devastated.
In 1998, an estimated two/thirds of the economically active population in Guinea was employed in informal activities, and 62% of the GDP came from the informal economy.
This active informal sector, interfacing with Guinea’s largely agriculturally based economy, had to be taken into to account in formulating and refocusing USAID NRM activities, which had as one of its goals the development of micro- and small enterprise, along with capital management.

 LME28: Guinea Current
Guinea Current Project is the largest one in Africa aimed at increasing socioeconomic benefits.
In the Gulf of Guinea Project, 6 countries, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Cameroon, sought to strengthen regional institutional capacities to prevent and remedy pollution of the LME and the associated degradation of critical habitats.

The Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME) project is an ecosystem based effort to assist countries adjacent to the guinea current ecosystem to achieve environmental and resource sustainability.
The intent of a separate, new project, the subject of this PDF Block-B proposal, is to extend the Gulf of Guinea project from six to 16 countries, all of which are influenced by the Guinea Current.
A project goal is to build capacity of Guinea Current countries to work jointly and in concert with other nations, regions, and GEF projects in West Africa to define and address transboundary priority environmental issues within the framework of their existing responsibilities under the Abidjan Convention and its Regional Seas Programme.

AIM: To investigate the effect of actin microfilament on potassium current and hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increase of potassium current in gastric antral circular myocytes of guinea pig.
In order to investigate the mechanism of hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increase of potassium current, in the present study, the effect of actin microfilament on potassium currents was observed and the possibility whether acin microfilament was involved in the process of hyposmotic membrane stretch-induced increase of potassium currents was examined.
In the present study, the two kinds of potassium current were activated by hyposmotic swelling in gastric antral smooth muscle cells of guinea pigs (Figures 5-6).

ACh-induced rebound stimulation of L-type Ca2+ current in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, mediated by Gbetagamma-dependent activation of adenylyl cyclase -- Belevych et al.
The effects that muscarinic receptor stimulation have on the cAMP-dependent regulation of L-type Ca currents were studied in isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique.
These results suggest that muscarinic receptor stimulation facilitates as well as inhibits cAMP-dependent regulation of the Ca current and that the net response is a balance between these two actions.
