As the survey operations frequently take place away from [the] mainland or suitable islands or coral reefs, a bottom mounted tide gauge(BMTG) was needed. These gauges had to have [an] operational depth limit of at least [200 metres] and produce [a] depth data with an accuracy of 0. 05%. Several deployment options were envisaged; from a free standing bottom deployment for long term data acquisition without telemetry, through shallow water installation with a hard wire connection to a shore telemetry station, to a bottom mounted gauge equipped with an acoustic modem for communication with [a] surface telemetry buoy for retransmission of the data... 2, record 2, English, - bottom%20mounted%20tide%20gauge

Gender in the World Bank's Poverty Assessments : Six Case Studies from Sub-Sahara Africa... Since the late 1980s, Poverty Assessments(PAs) have emerged as the most important statements by the World Bank about poverty in particular countries. This paper examines, in some depth and from a gender perpespective, a set of PAs from sub-Saharan African countries... Although country teams did have a good deal of autonomy in designing their PAs, they were given guidance on poverty measurement analysis and policy in two significant World Bank documents : the Poverty Reduction Handbook(1992a) and Operational Directive on Poverty Reduction(or OD 4. 15, 1991). 1, record 3, English, - Operational%20Directive%20on%20Poverty%20Reduction
