Until now, all the clouds imaged in Titan’s troposphere have been found at far southern latitudes (60 –90 south). The occurrence and location of these clouds is thought to be the result of convection driven by the maximum annual solar heating of Titan’s surface, which occurs at summer solstice (2002 October) in this south polar region. We report the first observations of a new recurring type of...

During the late 1990s, ‘new media’ has increasingly been targeted by policy makers at all levels for its potential as a new growth industry. Until now, most of our understanding of new media has been drawn from (largely) industry-driven technoevangelising, and from studies of particular geographical clusters, derived from new institutional economics. The validity of these approaches is examined...

The aim of the Task Force was to derive continuous prediction equations and their lower limits of normal for spirometric indices, which are applicable globally. Over 160,000 data points from 72 centres in 33 countries were shared with the European Respiratory Society Global Lung Function Initiative. Eliminating data that could not be used (mostly missing ethnic group, some outliers) left 97,759...

Therefore, same-ethnic friendship preferences, or ethnic homophily, can work at cross-purposes with policy recommendations to diversify ethnic representation in social settings. In order to effectively overcome ethnic segregation, we need to identify thos...

In the course of preparing this paper, which initially focused solely on identifying the impacts of input-output analysis on geography, a much broader perspective on the impacts of Walter Isard on geography ultimately emerged. In the tradition of input-output analysis, these impacts are grouped into direct, indirect, and induced effects, and summarized under the heading of influence. Walter Isa...
