The GazaStrip coastal aquifer is affected by increasing salinity and falling groundwater levels. Several authors believe these processes are related to the increasing water demand in the GazaStrip corresponding to population growth during the past

The evolving commercial strip : crossing Ford's typology in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona
Author evaluates Ford's typology of commercial strip evolution by applying it to Phoenix. She finds that Ford's classification of eight architecturally distinct strips does explain the evolution of three commercial strips (McDowell Road, Camelback
Road and Bell Road). However, a fourth strip (Mill Avenue) is considered to represent the emergence of a ninth type : the Neotraditional Strip, where everything new is made to look old in an effort to reinvent the Main street. - (SLD)
The orientation of sorted stripes in the maritime subantarctic, Marion Island
The orientation of sorted stripes developed in glacial deposits on Marion Island is examined. This study confirms earlier reports of preferential occurrence of sorted stripes on windward slopes. However, sorted stripes were also found to occur
on low angle leeward slopes. Mechanisms for the orientation of sorted stripes by wind action are discussed.
A note on the morphology of minature sortes stripes at Mafadi Summit, High Drakensberg
The dimensions and sorting characteristics of minature sortes stripes at High altitudes in the Drakensberg are examined. The reasons for this preservation of cold-region landforms are postulated. - (AJC)
The soil surface characteristics of vegetation stripes in Northern Mexico and their influences on the system hydrodynamics. An experimental approach
To characterise the spatial variability of the soil surface features and their role in the hydrodynamics of the vegetation stripes, the AA. first described them along a transect perpendicular to the main axis of a stripe together with the detailed
topography. The study was conducted in the Mapimi Biosphere Reserve (Chihuahuan desert, Mexico). The transect crossed a bare zone and the pioneer, central and senescence zones of a stripe. Rainfall simulations were then used to analyse the relationship
Die Erscheinung des Commercial-Strip. Eine Konsequenz der nordamerikanischen Siedlungsentwicklung
L'apparition du commercial-strip. Une conséquence du développement de l'habitat en Amérique du Nord
Le commercial strip, boulevard d'achat pour les clients motorisés, est présent dans de nombreuses villes des Etats-Unis d'Amérique. La caractéristique la plus frappante de ces strips est une agglomération adaptée à l'automobile et constituée de
Lithological evidence for the evolution of weathered mantles in Uganda by tectonically controlled cycles of deep weathering and stripping
geochemistry, and was conducted in 2 catchments of central and southwestern Uganda which feature contrasting geomorphic processes (deep weathering and stripping) and different (post mid-Miocene) evolutionary histories.
Floodplain stripping : another form of adjustment to secular hydrologic regime change in Southeast Australia
The main aims of this paper are : 1) to demonstrate what kinds of alluvial stripping have occurred in the coastal valleys of Southeast Australia; 2) to show how these can be related to post-deforestation periods, and in particular to illustrate
Selecting a survey design to monitor recreational angling for striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay
Fisheries managers must select a survey design that accurately tracks the striped bass catch of recreational anglers. The selection process is complex because many political, social and technical factors must be taken into account. The angler survey
