Vietnamese activity in the Adelaide real estate market
Significant real estate activity by Vietnamese households in Adelaide did not occur until 1979, and since then the groups buying activity has been heavily concentrated in the north-west region of the metropolitan area. Concentration causes
Vietnamese buyers to be disproportionately active in the middle-to-lower end of the market within which there has been a strong preference for rural properties and for houses rather than home units and maisonettes.

Des mesures des températures de l'air, de la surface du sol, de la couche active et du pergélisol ont été enregistrées toutes les 4 heures de 1986 à 1992 près du dock ouest de Prudhoe Bay, à l'aéroport Deadhorse et à Franklin Bluffs, dans le but de
constituer une base de données continue et d'étudier les réponses thermiques de la couche active et de la surface du pergélisol en fonction des variations climatiques.
The effect of moisture distribution on bacterial numbers and microbial activities along a hillslope, northern Negev, Israel
The objective of this work was to systematically study the response of microbial activity to rainfall events along an arid hillslope, where sharp gradients in moisture regime were previously observed. A refined study was made of the spatial aspects
of the factors controlling microbial activity under arid conditions, as well as the role of this activity in the decomposition of organic matter.
Active citizenship and local governance: political and geographical dimensions

Global temperature trends on time scales of years to centuries have recently been shown to be related to volcanic aerosols, carbon dioxide levels, and solar activity. The most visible and well-studied indicators of solar variability are dark areas
or sunspots on the surface of the Sun, with sunspot numbers directly related to the level of solar activity. In this paper the AA. show some preliminary findings in using feedforward neural networks for the prediction of peak sunspot cycle amplitude
Association of flower and pollinator activity in the Negev Desert, Israel
The objetives of this study were to investigate the following aspects of flower-pollinator plant relationships, in a desert environment: 1) synchronization of flower and pollinator activity; 2) flower - pollinator association, i.e., the floral

This paper aims to examine the relationship between the daily activities of metropolitan suburbanities and the urban dialy rhythm. The A. choosed two cities in big metropolitan area and he analyzed behavioral patterns of women.
Late-Holocene snow-avalanche activity in Southern Norway: interpreting lichen size-frequency distributions using an alternative to simulation modelling
A new approach to lichenometry, employing the single largest lichens on each boulder in a large sample, has recently been used to reconstruct the pattern of late-Holocene avalanche activity in southern Norway. The number of very large lichens
Evidence of active dune sands on the Great Plains in the 19th century from accounts of early explorers
Accounts published by early explorers indicate that at least parts of dune fields in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas were active in the 19th century. Based of an index of dune mobility and a regional tree-ring record, the probable
cases for these periods of greater eolian activity are droughts, accompanied by higher temperatures, which greatly lowered the precitation-to-evapotranspiration ratio and diminished the cover of stabilizing vegetation. Dune fields in the Great Plains
