The AA. demonstrate that children who are born within 15 months of a preceding birth are much more likely than other children to die in the first two years of life, once the confounding effecs of prematurity are removed.
In this study, the AA. demonstrate for the first time the radiocarbon dating of pollen concentrate samples by accelerator mass spectrometry. The dates obtained by this method should provide more reliable radiocarbon chronologies for paleo
It is suggested that geomorphological systems containing bifurcations will have both deterministic and probabilistic elements| they will have more than one solution and this fact calls into question notions of process domains leading
More than a decade has elapsed since the traumatic events of 1974 in Cyprus. Sufficient time has now passed to examine the economic significance of the events in historical perspective. Were they of long term significance for the Cypriot economy
The main results of hither to analyses of the precipitation regime are summarized. The first procession of precipitation conditions with more climatological studies comes from the 19th century (J. G. Mendel). The series of new studies begins
The first section of this paper provides a very brief overview of the main trends in Anglo-American glacial geomorphology from 1900 to the present. The A. then discusses more detail work on process modeling of glacial landform development, an area
The chemistry of soils on the main channel and tributary floodplains are distinctly different. But the concentrations of basic cations and pH in these alluvial soils were always higher than those in the more common high-land (terra firme) soils
The aim of this study is to examine secondary dispersal in exclosures, and more specifically to test the hypotheses that seeds of African wild olive deposited under the protective crowns of shrubs are less likely to be lost by surface wash than
seeds in the bare inter-plant areas; and that seeds in the latter are more likely to be translocated by runoff to microsites under shrubs than to other open areas. The study area is located in the Geba river catchment, central Tigray, northern Ethiopia.
volume eruptions of basic, unevolved potassic magma. Subsequent eruptions produced more differentiated rocks. The tectonic activity created room for magma at shallow level, where crystallization and minor magma mixing took place.
and demonstrate that the process of deindustrialization is more complex than it has been said. Fordism and the making of trade union response to closure is then studied.
Following recent World Bank-financed efforts to rehabilitate the railways of many developing countries, the AA. attempt to provide some fresh analytical insights into rail transport investment in countries whose economies are becoming ever more
This discussion aims at placing the problems and prospects for effective coastal management in Ireland, and more widely in the British Isles as a whole, in the context of the likely physical environmental changes that might be expected around our
channels underwent a metamorphosis. This metamorphosis, which is explained by the stable-bed aggrading-banks model (SBAB), is the key factor in the Holocene evolution of low-energy floodplain systems in the United Kingdom, upon which more subtle short-term
levels. It will be shown that the genesis of lateritic crusts seems to be more dependant on the petrological conditions than had before been assumed. Finally a comparison of the planation surfaces of Togo with the planation chronologies of West Africa
and air at the particular sampling sites. Local microclimate and environmental conditions at a particular site are more important in determining the weathering condition of the building stones than the local air studied, a very small contribution
