The demise of film, linked to the rise of digital photography and mobile phones with top-quality cameras, contributed to Polaroid's bankruptcy in 2001 and that of its old rival, Kodak, 11 years later.Yet as Ronald Fierstein's book demonstrates, Land was truly a great, both as an inventor and a businessman.
This study provided baseline data demonstrating land-cover alteration over the past three decades and a foundation for a land-cover change and landscape context protocol suitable for monitoring future changes of National Parks and protected areas.
As the Fingers in Ear exercise demonstrated, landing on the mid-section of your foot allows your body to absorb the shock of hitting the ground.
The study demonstrates how land use change (LUC) which also includes land cover, the local land use mix index (LLUM) and land use frequency (LUF) can be used as indicators of objective land use sustainability.
A regression analysis demonstrates that land use and landscape pattern are significantly correlated with transport-related carbon emissions.
Comparison of floodplain alluvial sequences in watersheds ranging in scale from headwater tributaries to the main valley Mississippi River demonstrates that land use changes triggered hydrologic responses that were transmitted nearly simultaneously to all watershed scales.
The relative ease with which settled farmers could obtain the 'certificate of occupancy' demonstrating land ownership, due to their 'indigene status' and higher literacy levels, left the Fulani in Nigeria 'permanently on the outside of land tenure' (Ezeomah [1985]).
REML analysis demonstrated that land use, rainfall, soil type and slope gradient had a significant impact on DSLT, while only land use, rainfall, and soil type influenced DSLFD significantly.
Instead, our results demonstrate that land systems changed gradually in terms of land cover and management intensity.
The data presented here demonstrate that land degradation (in the form of soil erosion) can be minimized significantly if appropriate and large scale soil and water conservation interventions are carried out, which are tailored to the biophysical setting.
"It remains our very strong determination not to allow this vessel or its occupants, save in excepting humanitarian circumstances clearly demonstrated, to land in Australia," Mr. Howard said before a cheering Parliament.
