Aim of this paper is the analysis of landscape heterogeneity in different natural conditions by identification of the composition and spatial configuration of CORINE land cover classes on the 2nd classification level. The results of the analysis

inference tree analysis to determine statistically significant values of a range of measured variables that predicted average runoff, peak runoff, sediment concentration and sediment production at the microscale. The analysis presented here identified
the critical role of soil surface roughness, particularly where total ground cover is sparse. The analysis also provided evidence that a two-phase mosaic of patches and inter-patches identified via rapid visual assessment could be further delineated

normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and surface temperatures, parcel-level zoning and assessor data, and residential water use records. Spatial analysis results demonstrate that cooling from vegetative evapotranspiration is mediated by development
factors as well as by topography and wind patterns. Findings also suggest that outdoor water use aside from irrigation, particularly the use of swimming pools, promotes cooling without elevating the NDVI. Temporal analysis reveal that most residential

This paper is an analysis of the constituencies in the electoral system that selects representatives for the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia. Emphasized are the factors that engendered Slovenia’s specific three-level organization
of constituencies. The last part is an analysis of the organization of constituencies and electoral districts in light of fulfilling the principles of voter equality, homogeneity and compactness.
The paper analyses and explains the phenomenon of daily commutes of workers in Slovenia. The first part of the article presents the daily mobility analysis of workers in the ten biggest employment centers between 2000 and 2009. The second part
describes the analysis of the worker's mode of transportation and the reasons for the regional differences. - (IKR)

The paper discusses the applicability of Butler's model of the life cycle of a tourist area in interpreting various development patterns of Slovene tourist resorts. In order to find out similar development patterns a hierarchical cluster analysis
The AA. perform an analysis of large dark dunes within Moreux Crater and Herschel Crater on Mars using High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) and Context Camera (CTX) data sets. These data allowing to conduct a detailed analysis of dune
morphology and slip faces, the AA. conclude that the studied dune fields are influenced by topographically-controlled complex wind directions. Their morphological analysis reveals that inside Moreux Crater in particular, the topographic setting dominates
of complex dunes and dune fields. This analysis indicate that the studied dune systems is not the result of paleo-wind regimes.
Identifying hotspots of rip current activity using wavelet analysis at Pensacola Beach, Florida
; Wavelet analysis
these recently identified hotspots were present before Hurricane Ivan and if the development of the rip system is a response to the bar cycle. Wavelet analysis of aerial and satellite imagery from 1951 to 2004 was used to quantify the alongshore variation in bar
Feasibility analysis of widely accepted indicators as key ones in river health assessment
In this paper, some key indicators which can be applied for river health assessment in general were selected, based on the analysis of 45 assessment index systems with 902 variables within around 150 published papers and documents in 1972–2010
. According to the fields covered by the variables, they were divided into 4 groups : habitat condition, water environment, biotic status and water utilization. Under the correlation analysis amongst the key indicators in candidate, 8 indicators were finally
The AA. apply both spectral analysis and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modeling, a parsimonious stochastic approach to 11 alluvial mountain step-pool streams for identifying their periodicities. They interpolate the original
procedure for identifying the periodicity of a step-pool sequence using spectral analysis with the differencing detrending method and multiple equal-space intervals is proposed. The identified periodicities might serve as an independent morphologic index
