Geomorphological analysis of the Stožecká hornatina (Mountains)
A complex geomorphological analysis of the relief of Stožecká hornatina Mts (Šumava). The structural relief features and a high number of cryogenous forms give to that territory an original geomorphological character, which is only seldom
Location-specific cumulative distribution function (LSCDF) : an alternative to spatial correlation analysis
Correlation ; Distance ; Distribution of points ; Population ; Spatial aggregation ; Spatial analysis ; Spatial distribution ; Statistics ; United States of America
The paper presents an approach for spatial correlation analysis for count variables by comparing their cumulative spatial distributions. Using the concept of LSCDF in classical statistics, it shows that location-specific and its associated K-S-like
GRADISTAT : a grain size distribution and statistics package for the analysis of unconsolidated sediments
Grain size analysis is an essential tool for classifying sedimentary environments. A computer program called GRADISTAT has been written for the rapid analysis of grain size statistics from any of the standard measuring techniques, such as sieving
Application of shrubs for dendrogeomorphological analysis to reconstruct spatial and temporal landslide movemen patterns. A preliminary study
A detailed dendrogeomorphological landslide investigation has been carried out at the Tertiary escarpment in northwest Rheinhessen, Germany. For the first time, analysis of shrub growth curves using optical and statistical techniques has
demonstrated the potential of this type of vegetation for dendrogeomorphological analysis. Indications of known dates of landslide occurence (1981/82) have been found in growth rings and showed the potential of shrubs for this type of analysis. In addition
Accessibility ; Congestion ; Cost-benefit analysis ; Economic efficiency ; Labour market ; Labour productivity ; Production fonction ; United States of America ; Urban economy ; Urban theory ; Urbanization
The influences of urban form and transport infrastructure on economic performance show up in several contemporary policy debates. The paper probes these relationships using two scales of analysis. At the macro scale, an econometric analysis using
data across 47 US metropolitan areas reveals that employment densities and urban primacy are positively associated with worker productivity, suggesting the presence of agglomeration economies. An intrametropolitan analysis using data on sub-districts
of the San Francisco Bay Area reinforces the finding of the macro-scale analysis.
Resource-based industrialisation strategies : a comparative analysis of the South African and international experience
This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of resource-based industrialisation in South Africa with international experience. The role of mineral resources is highlighted in the economic and industrial development of South Africa. - (AJC)
A large and geographically diverse data set consisting of meandering, braiding, incising, and post-incision equilibrium streams was used in conjunction with logistic regression analysis to develop a probabilistic approach to predicting thresholds
A GIS - environmental justice analysis of particulate air pollution in Hamilton, Canada
robust to the method of statistical analysis. Low income and unemployment are also significant predictors of exposure, although results vary depending on the method of analysis. This result emphasizes the value of GIS and spatial statistical techniques
Beijing ; China ; Correlation ; Discriminant analysis ; Humid environment ; Hydrochemistry ; Principal components analysis ; Salt marsh
. This analysis is an effective way to explain the differences of element source, movement and accumulation under special conditions. This paper clarifies the movement laws of saline-alkaline components in the region, and establishes a set of a four -class
discriminant for the analysis of salt marsh water bodies. And the goal is to develop and utilize the water resources in this region reasonably by means of controlling and preventing regional salinization.

Fluvial geomorphological analysis of the recruitment of large woody debris in the Yalobusha River network, Central Mississippi, USA
significance of the LWD recruitment in terms of debris dam formation. From this basis, rational management decisions may be taken. The overall accuracy of the model is largely dependent on 3 factors, namely : bank-stability analysis, knickpoint dimensions
The study is a comparative analysis of agriculture in Poland and Bulgaria during the period of transition (198-1999). Subject to the analysis were changes which occurred in agriculture and its environment in both countries as a result of the change
of the political system. Tha analysis comprises issues related to social and ownership changes, demographic problems of rural areas, means of agricultural production, production outputs, export of plant, meat and dairy products. Changes which take place
