Formulaic follies revisited: or, why geography researchers get almost twice as much money as do planners in English universities
The funding for research activities in English universities is based on a formula allocation which has many apparent anomalies. The A. shows that a much fairer system can and must replace that currently operated.
The paper presents the results of empirical analysis of ownership transformation in Polish firms of urban transport - the processes of transformation, although started earlier than in the case of Polish Road Transport enterprises, are much slower
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
. The efficiency of the downstream transfer of sediments is documented, and a sediment delivery ratio is derived for the upper Wolumla catchment. This is based on assessment of the volume of sediment stored in the system in 1865, how much material has been removed
, how much remains intact, and how much has been reworked and stored along channel courses.
The spatial and economic evolution of the flour milling industry in the Prairie Provinces of Canada is examined. A few major extra-regionally owned and controlled companies came to dominate the export industry, and also influence much
of the development of the cultural landscapes of the region. A much larger number of locally owned mills were established that basically served their tributary areas.
Looking at urban regeneration or inner-city policy from the point of view of a social policy analyst, one is struck by how much of the literature on the subject originates with geographers and how much this seems to have coloured the debate. It has
, had similar amounts and rates of weathering over the last 100-150 years. Gravestones in Swansea appear to have weathered much more and much faster than gravestones at the other two sites. These differences may be the result of the differing pollution
An Australian perspective on the history of research activities and findings on this vast island. Research dates from the 1950s, mainly in six disciplines, and has given much attention to historical change. Understanding of human adaptation
of Irian Jaya (the western half of the island) are much more poorly known. - (DWG)
Pine plantations over the past 30 years have been widely established on much abandoned farm land below 1 88 m a.s.l., but much more in the Central, than the Western, Pyrenees. The effect of reforestation on cattle raising has been negative and mass
temperature, because so much interest is now focused upon the connection between the greenhouse effect and average temperature. For Karesuando in northernmost Sweden the extraordinary warm period 1931-1940 and the much colder 1979-1988 are compared.
. Cryoplanation also invokes a process suite, but one that also embraces nivation. Research in the last 2 or 3 decades has begun to provide a much sharper definition of nivation, but the available information is still inadequate for a central mechanism
in periglacial landscapes. A case is presented for viewing nivation and cryoplanation as a single process spectrum much in need of state-of-the-art research.
