L'A. étudie les caractéristiques des victimes d'accidents routiers en se basant sur les codes postaux et applique les résultats à une vaste analyse spatiale afin d'établir des modèles de propension aux accidents à Londres. Les résultats montrent des
The purpose of this paper is to review the findings of the ethnic minority business literature, the key debates arising therefrom and the manner in which the discourse is developed. The AA. begin with an evaluative summary of the emergence
of a British research agenda in the 1980s. They follow by a review of the most recent wave of British contributions, with its attempt to grapple with the rapidly changing nature of ethnic minority enterprise (maturation of South Asian business communities

This paper reviews recent elderly population trends in the towns and metropolitan areas of Great Britain with particular attention to changing age-group and spatial distributions, housing amenities and long-term illness.
En Angleterre, l'appel à une formation ciblée et à des initiatives en faveur de l'emploi dans certains lieux, certains secteurs de l'économie locale, et à l'intérieur de groupes sociaux particuliers ont caractérisé les principales initiatives de
régénération urbaine du début et du milieu des années 1990. L'accent est mis sur le soutien de l'esprit d'entreprise des groupes ethniques minoritaires dans des zones spécifiques des villes.

After briefly reviewing the history of settlement in Dundee, the paper examines the extent to which patterns of ethnic segregation have changed between 1991 and 2001. Some moves towards dispersal and suburbanisation are identified
but there are important contrasts between different black and minority ethnic groups. The implications of segregation for housing availability are assessed through Census of population data. The hypothesis is posed that the consequences of segregation for housing

The effects of particle hydrophobicity on splash behaviour by a single water drop impact were examined here using high-speed videography. Water drops were dropped on beds of hydrophilic and hydrophobic glass beads, serving as model soil particles
. The resulting impact behaviour was measured in terms of the trajectories of particles ejected from the beds and their final resting positions. The response to the impacting water drop was significantly different between hydrophilic and hydrophobic particles

Rough water, smooth water : a comprehensive classification of water-flow characteristics
Classification ; Montana ; Runoff ; Taxonomy ; United States of America ; Water
Article contains the author's original classification of water-flow characteristics. Classification is made up of 7 categories that may be combined into two broad groups. The A. provides a verbal description (no precise measurements
or instrumentation are needed) of the water in each category and a photograph from Montana to illustrate each. He ends by broefly discussing the uses of the classification scheme. - (SLD)
Formation of sorted patterned-grounds - a literature review
The article presents and compares current views on the development of sorted patterned-grounds in the periglacial zone. The theories can be divided into 8 groups, which assume : 1) convection and/or circulation of the ground en masse ; 2
) circulation of only fine particles of the ground ; 3) convection of pore water ; 4) heave-settlement pulsation and lateral expansion on the fine domains ; 5) cracking of the ground followed by heave-settlement pulsation and lateral expansion of the centres

Ecologies of creativity : the Village, the Group, and the heterarchic organisation of the British advertising industry
Communication ; England ; London ; Management ; Network ; Organization ; Publicity ; Service ; Spatial concentration ; UnitedKingdom
The paper starts from the assumption that both the localised cluster of advertising agencies in the advertising village and the global communications group share basic principles of social organisation. The organisational logic of both the Village
and the Group can be conceptualised in terms of a heterarchy. By drawing on case-study evidence from Soho and from the world leading communications business, the five basic features (diversity, rivalry, tags, projects and reflexivity) will provide the conceptual
tools for the investigation into the social organisation of the Village and the Group.

Most studies answer about the segregation of ethnic groups using single indices which address one aspect only of a multidimensional concept. An alternative approach is used here which identifies residential area types according to the degree
of ethnic mixing. Their relative importance is evaluated in 18 English cities. The AA. find little evidence of significant segregation of Black ethnic groups, but more with regard to Asian groups.
