Morphological characteristics of gully networks and their relationship to host materials, Baringo District, Kenya in Soil erosion and host materials in Africa.
This paper looks at the morphological characteristics of gully networks developed within three contrasting host materials (one of weathered bedrock, the other two are alluvial deposits) in the Baringo District of Kenya.
Immigration and welfare for the host economy with imperfect competition
In the literature, the beneficial result of immigration to the host country relies on the assumption of perfect competition in the goods market. However, for an economy characterized by imperfect competition, immigration of unskilled workers can
Soil erosion on a sub-tropical coastal dune complex, Transkei, Southern Africa in Soil erosion and host materials in Africa.
This paper examines erosion forms developed on a coastal dune complex at Mbolompo Point (32o04'30''S| 29o05'E) on the Transkei coast to examine the influence of unlithified cohesionless host materials on the development of soil erosion forms.
The role of rock properties in the development of bedrock-incised rills and gullies : examples from Southern Africa in Soil erosion and host materials in Africa.
The article focuses on how the position of Czech-based automotive firms in the global production networks (GPNs) affects the intensity of upgrading and the amount of value captured for the benefit of the host regions through wages, corporate taxes
revenues and reinvested profits. The results suggest large differences in profitability and value capture between the regions hosting vehicle assembly firms and those hosting component suppliers. - (EN)
The distribution of soil erosion as a function of slope aspect and parent material in Ciskei, Southern Africa in Soil erosion and host materials in Africa.
Focusing on mega events in South Africa, China and Brazil, this paper contrasts and critiques the associated image and identity opportunities and risks, as well as comparative motivations for hosting such events. In the context of an increasing
number of mega events being hosted in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), the paper provides broader continuity and introduces a broader research agenda. - (AJC)
The glacial and periglacial geomorphology for the Simen and Bale Mountains in Ethiopia is reviewed. The Simen Mountains are mostly absent of relict perglacial landforms and today host a variety of miniature cryogenic phenomena. The Bale Mountains
host a few localized large relict cryogenic landforms (e.g. stone stripes), suggesting past sporadic permafrost. A variety of regional factors may have contributed to the more extensive periglacial activity in southern Ethiopia than in the higher Simen
In the second part of this article, the discussion is extended to both microparasites (viruses, bacteria and protozoa) and macroparasites (helmiuths and arthropods), transmitted either directly or indirectly via one or more intermediate hosts
. Consideration is given to the relation between the ecology and evolution of the transmission processes and the overall dynamics, and to the mechanisms that can produce cyclic patterns, or multiple stable states, in the levels of injection in the host population.
An examination of the Franco-Mauritian community in South Africa and the extent of its integration into the host community. The problems and strategies of integration are examined. - (AJC)
This paper analyzes the determinants of the location of a host multinational RandD projects in NUTS-1 regions of EU-15 countries during the period 2003–08. It finds that the probability of RandD projects being located in a host region is positively
affected by the host region’s academic strength—after controlling for industry agglomeration, the technological strength of the region, RandD tax incentives, and other characteristics of host locations. The results further suggest that a major mechanism
