This article develops a space–time panel filter model to measure the dragging effects of the arable land and available water resources on economic growth in China at both the national and regional levels. First, it describes the research design
resources reduces annual economic growth rate by about 1.3 percentage points in China as a whole, and significant differences exist in both disaggregate and aggregate drags over the provinces and regions.

A sequence of approximately 75 strand plain beach ridges located along the northern shore of Lake Michigan, USA, was used to explore rates of soil development in the initial stages of podzolisation. Well drained pedons were sampled on 24
of the ridges, with an age range of 10 to 5200 years. Chronofunctions were developed using statistical regression techniques. Discussion of the results.

The AA. examined 4 soils that span the range of the development on a relatively young, sandy, upland geomorphic surface in Michigan. The purpose was to examine the degree of variation in pedogenesis and weathering on this surface, as indicated by 4
typifying pedons. In so doing, they hope to assist those who develop and use chronofunctions by heightening their awareness of the potential variation in pedologic development and weathering across geomorphic surfaces.

Relationships between soil color patterns and depth and duration of water tables were studied using piezometers in three soil hydrosequences that had developed from different colored parent materials. Insufficient low chroma colors was the primary
reason for misclassification of soils developed from red parent materials and is thought to be related to the presence of hematite.

to establish whether shopping centres have started to develop social functions or are they still predominantly places of retail questionnaire survey in 5 largest shopping centres was conducted. - (IKR)
Over the past 15 years Slovenia has gone through major economic and political changes. Retail was one of the economic activities that experienced the most proufound changes in the process of economic transition. In the paper the main characteristics
