The paper seeks to broaden the shadow state concept in order to incorporate the relational interaction of government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Many different types of interaction are possible. Two case studies of immigrant-serving
organizations in the USA : they illustrate some of the particular arrangements of power which animate shadow state relationships.

Atmospheric circulation ; Climatology ; Interannual variability ; Jet stream ; Seasonal variation ; Spatial variation ; United States of America
A forty-year (1961-2000) climatology of southerly and northerly low-level jets (LLJs) was prepared from twice-daily rawinsonde observations for 36 stations in the central United States. The motivation for developing the climatology was 1) to examine
in greater detail the spatial variation of LLJ characteristics across the central United States, 2) better document the nature of northerly LLJs, 3) provide a baseline for evaluating potential future changes in LLJ frequency and characteristics, and 4) assess
through comparisons with previous studies what aspects of LLJs in the central United States remain poorly understood.

The interannual variability in warm-season soil-moisture deficits were examined for the Southern United States from 1895-2005. Moisture deficit values are computed using the Thornthwaite/Mather water budget technique. Five soil-moisture deficit
The paper presents the method of ecomorphological assessment of river habitat quality EcoRivHab, based on field mapping with possible usage of distance data. Overall ecohydrological state is evaluated by five degrees (ES I-V), characterizing
the state of the watercourse in the context of the EC Water Framework Directive. The goal of this research was to assess the ecohydromorphological state of selected catchments in Czechia, representing varied relief types, and at the same, representing
The AA. examine absolute and conditional convergence among selected members of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. While the ECCB members fail to converge absolutely, two convergence groups appear to form, implying different steady states. They find
