On the origin of the drumlins of the South German Alpine Foreland (II) : the sediments underneath
Some marginal conditions, especially place and time of formation, are of more importance than originally supposed. The A. distinguishes regional types of drumlins, to examine their special properties, of which the sediments are an important
Recent findings of relic terraces, ditches, and canals suggest a much more intensive agriculture among the prehistoric Maya than previously known. - (D. W. Gade).
Carbonate deposition in turloughs (seasonal lakes) on the western limestone lowlands of Ireland. II: the sedimentary record
Deposits found in seasonal groundwater-fed lakes (turloughs) on the limestone lowland of Ireland were investigated, and of ninety turloughs surveyed, forty-six contained calcareous deposits known as marl, consisting of more than 60% calcium
Population biology of infections diseases: Part II
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
The book shows the papers presented achievements of agricultural geography in twelve big scientific centers in Poland. After the World War II - to the end of sixtieths there were domination of land use studies and land use mapping. Next period
- to the beginnings of ninetieths spatial studies in agriculture were more sintetic and devoted to such a problem as : agricultural typology and spatial organization of agriculture. At the same time geographers more frequently have been adopt quantitative methods
in their studies. Last years agricultural geography is oriented more to the problems of changes after 1990 and integrated more with rural geography. - (BJ)
The conference Habitat II is an indicator of the state of policy and programmatic dilemmas, vith aspirations for future effective progress. International organisations have achieved substantial reform of urban conditions since the 1970 and sometimes
improved policy frameworks in some developing countries. By 1996, international policy has become more comprehensive and wide-ranging. The AA. have variously written on evaluative histories, housing and urban finance, land and tenure, urban indicators
The A. traces the evolution of his geopolitical thinking since World War II and more recently in the light of the decline of Marxist ideology and shifts in East-West alignments. He opines that increasing inter-dependence decreases the need for large

and less advanced yet. Much less companies are privatized (companies with foreign participation, worker’s companies and/or companies with Polish non-public sector participation). On the other hand, much more are public companies (single-personality local
Patterns of climatic variation in Argentina and Chile. II. Temperature, 1931-60
Eigenvector analysis of 30 years of monthly and annual temperature data at a selected network of 46 stations in Argentina and 4 stations in Chile reveals that the first three patterns of year-to-year variability account for more than 60
). The number of states in the world has more than doubled since the end of World War II. The forces of separation seem on the rise, those of union of multicultural nations, on the decline.
The experiments described in this paper were carried out to provide more detailed information on the types and mechanisms of seal formation on slopes influenced by rainsplash, sheetwash and rillwash processes. Specific objectives were i) to identify
and characterize different forms of seal morphologically using micromorphological analysis, and on the basis of the laboratory results ii) to determine the possible mechanism of seal formation for each category of seal identified.
After a century of decline in the United States, microbreweries made a resurgence starting around 1980. A. discusses how a handful of Germanic giants after world War II drove hundreds of smaller breweries out of business. In the 1980s new American
breweries emerged in California, modeled after a similar renaissance in Great Britain. The microbrewery has now diffused throughout the country as beer drinkers crave more local flavor and a sense of place. - (SLD)
Soil fertility in the mid-elevation hillsides of the Cochabamba region of Bolivia has been declining as natural fallow times have been reduced in order to bring more land into crop production. A photothermal model is used to simulate climate
To offer a more formal approach in line with classical statistical framework, the AA. develop an exact method for computing the p-values of the local Moran's Ii, local Geary's ci, and the modified Ord and Getis G statistics based
