An experimental study of sapped drainage network development
Catchment area;Watershed ; Colorado ; Drainage network ; Erosion ; Sediment transport ; United States
This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation of network evolution in a three-dimensional, subsurface flow-generated drainage system. Particular attention was paid to monitoring changes in sediment discharge as the drainage network
evolved, in an attempt to couple them to changes in network morphology.
Introduction to the Internet computer network (which allows people to connect to other computers), showing how to access and use current network resources in a physical geography course. Using this network one can get text information, satellite
Decision making process ; Economic environment ; Enterprise ; Industrial district ; Industry ; Innovation ; Network ; Organization
The survey of a sample of 64 empirical industrial district studies shows that few researchers have measured and analysed network structures, and none have studied performance outcomes of variations in network structure. An evolutionary perspective
is used to propose a research agenda for a better understanding of the relationship between network structure and innovation.

In this paper, the world city network is identified as an unusual form of network with three levels of structure : cities as the nodes, the world economy as the supranodal network level, and advanced producer service firms operating through cities
who are the prime actors in world city network formation. This process is formally specified in terms of four international relational matrices. Through this specification it becomes possible to apply standard techniques of network analysis to world

This paper reports New Zealand evidence from a survey of small-firm network behaviour and the impact of an intermediary agency in seeking to assist network development. Small businesses engage in various types of networking including information
sharing, resource sharing and subcontracting. There is little evidence of deliberate strategy about networking. Network promotion is isentified as a way of assisting small-firm development.
Topology and dependency tests in spatial and network autoregressive models
Matrix analysis ; Network ; Regression analysis ; Simulation ; Social network ; Spatial analysis ; Test ; Topology
The objective of the paper is to investigate, within a simulation setting, the ability of spatial dependency tests to identify a spatial/network autoregressive model when two network topology measures, namely degree distribution and clustering
, are controlled. Drawing a large data set of controlled social networks, the impact of network topology on dependency tests is investigated under a hierarchy of factors.

Germany ; Local policy ; Network ; North Rhine Westfalia ; Regional development ; Regionalization ; Urban network ; Urban policy
The contribution deals with the following subjects : 1)Policy innovation as context management : 1) Regionalisation in Northrhine-Westphalia. 2) Local responses to regionalisation : Duisburg and its region. 3) Networking the urban policy arena : new
forms of governance in Duisburg. 4) Local and regional networking : potentials and contradictions for innovative governance. 5) Challenges to networking : bridging the local-regional mismatch. - (MT)
The geography of international business telecommunications : the role of leased networks
Bank ; Centrality ; Economic integration ; Finance ; Information ; International economy ; Internationalisation ; Network ; Telecommunications ; Transnational corporation
Leased networks are a small but important part of international telecommunications, especially for large transnational corporations. Many of these firms, particularly in the banking and finance and electronics industries, view their networks as key
elements of their global corporate strategy. The networks use high-speed circuits to link major industrialized countries. There is a competition between countries to become regional hubs for traffic on international networks.
Power networks and early Chinese immigrants in Pennsylvania
Association ; Chinese ; Historical geography ; Immigration ; International migration ; Pennsylvania ; Social integration ; Social network ; United States of America
Early Chinese immigrants in Pennsylvania were influenced by networks ranging from the global economic system to friendship with colleagues working in the same cities. Despite encountering poverty, hostility and institutional bias, Chinese were able
to persist in part because their social and cultural networks complemented global and Euro-American economic networks. These networks shielded immigrants from the hostility of Euro-Americans and the penalties of the American government.
