Several researchers have argued that Australia is becoming more unequal. The paper explores the reasons why this might be the case before undertaking a social indicator based exmination of whether income inequality extends to well-being generally
in their mass balance. Further, the more maritime Storsteinsfjellbreen does not seem to collect more snow during the winter than the more continental Storglaciären.
then be multiplied by the cross-sectional area to produce an estimate of discharge. In more recent times, researchers have also begun to study energy loss, a use for which the area-weighted average is inappropriate. The discharge-weighted average velocity
of streamflow is proposed as an alternative. More generalized resistance equations may assist in evaluating the range of channel conditions in the natural world.
The aim of this study is to model the wild fire behaviour in the Eparchy of Pylias (Southwest-Messinia, Greece), and more specific to acquire more knowledge about the wild fires control problem as it concerns the fire frequency and the possibility
The A. wants to explore more closely Lefebvre's injunction for a careful examination of the relationship between space, language and politics. He wants to examine the metaphors used by scholars theorizing urban space and everyday urban life
The paper reports on an enquiry into the provision of health care facilities in rural northern KwaZulu-Natal. It concludes that there are more varied types of health facilities available for community members than those conventionally found in urban
The transport issue has been one of the territorial component not yet thoroughly analysed. The reason lies in the not well defined transport competences of the institutions. Their character is provisional since they are not connected to a more
used. The models show that the net migration loss of unskilled native workers from metropolitan areas is a function of the cities's population size rather than immigrant flow to them. It is more likely the result of industrial restructuring than
Global, regional, and national-level forces are shaping East Asian television broadcasting industries. Global and regional forces are becoming more important than national factors. Global media firms are forming strategic alliances with other media
This study focuses on one important force that affects China's regional development : state investment in basic construction. The more developed eastern region always enjoyed a greater proportion of state investment than the other regions
Biomedical literature was reviewed for the period 1965-1995 to determine the spatial distribution of shigellosis or bacillary dysentery. The more virulent specis of Shigella (S. dysenteriae and S. flexneri) predominated in less economically advanced
tourism promotion. Both communities started in the late 1800s as Mormon lumber towns, but today the more diversified Pinetop-Lakeside seeks rapid tourist development while Heber-Overgaard pursues appropriate development that will not overwhelm its
more on values of neighborliness, personalization of space, security, etc than on the physical shelter. The residents wanted the camp to remain open permanently, suggesting that US housing policies do not meet the needs of many homeless people. - (SLD)
stability is non-monotonic but predictable in the degree of differentiation, the outcome is very much more ambiguous when the latter formulation is employed. He also examines the implications for stablility when demand shocks occur.
Attention is given to the role of rural roads in countering remoteness and promoting more equitable development. The paper focuses on three economic impacts of roads - agricultural production, employment, and household income. The impact of roads
This paper describes dust deposition processes in Mali, West Africa, during April and May 1990, and examines the relative contributions of dusts from local, regional and more distant sources using dust particle size data. The significance
to case studies in the field of environmental economics is potentially more intricate than in many other areas of economics. Meta-analysis is a potentially useful way of supplementing knowledge in a relatively speedy and cost-effective way.
The paper should be seen as part of an increasing interest in a social constructivist view of housing which partly reflects developments in related disciplines such as sociology, but is also a reaction to the calls for the introduction of more
