Etude comparée ; Evolution du sol ; Paysage ; Pédiment ; Pédogenèse ; Quaternaire ; Sol ; Stone-line ; Théorie ; Zone intertropicale ; Zone subtropicale
Deux principales théories ont été proposées pour expliquer l'origine des nappes de gravats (Stone-Lines) dans les paysages quaternaires. Ces théories sont comparées par une analyse chronographique.
Deregulation in the American banking industry has led to well established banks moving to cities in other states. One result is an increase in the geographic concentration of banking resources control. - (D. W. Gade).
Archéologie préhistorique et processus de formation des stones-lines en Afrique centrale (Congo-Brazzaville et zones périphériques)
Les stone-lines étudiées correspondraient à une surface de sol du type pavage datant du Maluekien (70 000-40 000 BP, avec une industrie lithique attribuée au Sangoen), recouverte postérieurement par des matériaux meubles remontés par les termites ou

The object of this article is development and analysis of ferryboat traffic between coast and Kvarner Islands. The connections between Kvarner Islands and land at first by steamboat lines and now ferryboat lines are conditions for touristic
Flood dynamics of a concrete-lined, urban stream in Kansas City, Missouri
Channel geometry, slope, and floodwater elevations were determined in the field for segments of the concrete-lined section of Brush Creek for a flood event that occurred on September 18, 1986. Discharge was computed by indirect methods and compared
The Fall Line : a physiographic-forest vegetation boundary
Les AA. émettent l'hypothèse que la présence ou l'absence d'habitats adaptés à la régénération des espèces d'arbres de chaque côté de la Fall Line basée sur des caractéristiques géomorphologiques et de sol sont les facteurs primaires déterminant la
The McMahon line and after. A study of the triangular contest on India's North eastern frontier between Britain, China and Tibet
Etude très documentée qui déborde largement les rapports indo-thibétains-chinois pendant cette période. C. r. par D. E. Roux, J. Asian Studies, 1977, n4, pp.711-712.
In the northern Peelhorst the influence of fracture movements is still clearly visible in the terrain. A particular feature is the curious circumstance that at the location of the fracture line wet and marshy grounds occur on the higher horst while
the lower grounds in the direct vicinity, on the other side of the fracture line, thus in the graben are dry. This is a rather unique situation in Western Europe. (AIS).
A statistical study of the nebulosity and the rain, associated to the composite analysis of the humidity has shown that rainfall generated by the squall line issue with the squall lines issue from the convective part essentially. Too less ten hours
before the passage of squall lines, we note an increase of the relative humidity in the atmosphere low layer. During the squall lines passage, the humidity is maximal in the layer 700-600 hPa. After the passage, the humidity decreases in the low
Operational flood forecasting on the River Meuse using on-line identification
Operational flood forecasting on the River Meuse in Belgium is based on both hydrologic and hydraulic modelling. This paper discusses a methodology based on on-line estimation of parameters, to model short variations in the response of the main
The equilibrium line altitude in the most critical parameter in the link between glaciers and climate. Following discussion of methods of reconstructing former glaciers and calculating their equilibrium line altitudes, the application
If the longer-term sustainability of tourist environments is to be maintained, tourism has to be restructured along ecological lines that take into account recreational carrying capacities, valuing local people, and « doing more with less ». - (DWG)
