Assessing cultural-spatial change in European border areas. Theory-based considerations in developing an understanding of social (re)constructions of space
The article presents a theoretical approach to the empirical reconstruction of cultural-spatial change, building on knowledge sociology and social constructivism. A model is presented, based on the assumption that cultural-spatial change in European
A unit stream power based sediment transport function for overland flow
and sediment conditions for which each was formulated. To improve predictions of transport capacity under overland flow conditions, especially at low flow intensities, a new function, based on the unit stream power concept, was derived using experimental data.
Extending the resource-based approach to livelihoods : an urban application to Turkish Gecekondu households
Examen critique des concepts et explications autour du comportement socio-économique des familles pauvres, afin d'étayer la construction d'un nouveau modèle visant à étendre l'approche des conditions d'existence basée sur les ressources. En étudiant
This article discusses a practice-based perspective on routines in connection with diffusion processes. An approach is developed by placing Feldman and Pentland’s concept of routines, which draws on structuration and actor network theories
, in relation to a knowing in practice perspective. Within a relational approach, the authors propose taking a practice-based perspective to the diffusion of organizational routines, with (i) knowing, (ii) collaborations, and (iii) policy relevance being
bases to these key and related terms. The paper also cautions about too readily tracing intellectual connections between, on the one hand, geographies in and of the Enlightenment and the Enlightenment's varied cosmopolitan geographies with, on the other
, the geographical bases to cosmopolitanism in modern context.
One of the research topics in social urban geography is spatial patterning and measuring of social difference and inequality. The A. analyses the characteristics of social spatial segregation in Ljubljana on the base of data from the 2011 population
census. The basic method was an analysis of the socio-economic, ethnic and family segregation of population in the Ljubljana Urban Municipality based on a comparison of the share of selected population groups in the former local communities. - (IKR)
The paper deals with the spatial structure of Europe, using spatial moving average, potential model and the bidimensional regression analysis based on gravity model. Many theoretical and practical works aim at describing the spatial structures
, such as zones, axes, formations and polycentric models. Based on some examinations, the engravings of the structures are described. The position of the core area of EU countries clearly justifies the banana shape, while the catching up regions take shape

Knowledge-based development in leading regions across the globe : an exploratory analysis of the co-evolution of resources, capabilities and outputs
Les AA. analysent la structure et la co-évolution de la dynamique des principales régions économiques du monde en se basant sur les deux principales tendances que sont la croissance basée sur la connaissance et celle du marché du travail. Ils
constatent une croissance spectaculaire des principales régions chinoises basées sur l’économie de la connaissance et qu’au niveau des différentes régions étudiées, pas plus l’investissement dans la production de connaissance que la capacité de faire appel au
of the following approaches : (1) empirical estimation from spectral vegetation indices; (2) models that are based on light-use-efficiency (LUE) theory; (3) models that are not based on LUE theory, but the biophysical processes of plant photosynthesis. Among
these three, models based on LUE are the primary approach. At the same time, major efforts have been dedicated to mapping vegetation canopy biochemical composition via imaging spectroscopy for use in process-based models to estimating primary productivity
Response of savanna gross primary productivity to interannual variability in rainfall : Results of a remote sensing based light use efficiency model
Studying the temporal pattern of savanna gross primary productivity (GPP) is essential for predicting the response of the biome to global environmental changes. In this study, MODIS satellite data coupled with eddy covariance based flux measurements
were used to estimate GPP using a remote sensing based light use efficiency model across a significant rainfall gradient in the Northern Territory (NT) region of Australia. The results provide valuable information on the carbon uptake across the savanna
benefits? ; what way are existing approaches likely to be inadequate for demarcating substitutability-based submarkets? and what are the prospects for developing a substitutability metric that will make the Rapkin–Grigsby definition empirically feasible
?. Then, a new measure is proposed, based on the cross-price elasticity of price (CPEP), which is illustrated using data for Glasgow, Scotland.
This paper presents an agent-based model that simulates policy scenarios to characterize how the production of poppy can be dampened and replaced with licit crops over time. The model is initialized with spatial data, including transportation
