Root Wedging And Rock Disintegration, James E. Stembridge
Root Wedging And Rock Disintegration, James E. Stembridge
The Geographical Bulletin
Plants and their roots are very active in the process of rock disintegration and weathering. We are all familiar with sidewalks that have been lifted and cracked by tree roots. Most of us have seen concrete cracks widened by weed growth. Yet plant roots have been almost completely ignored by geomorphologists in their studies of weathering agents. Common opinion has been limited to the view that plants prevent erosion rather than cause it. The importance of plants in erosion control was given widespread popular recognition early in the nineteenth century after the Alpine torrents were blamed on the removal of …
The American Southwest', Lewis I. Deitch, David W. Lantis
The American Southwest', Lewis I. Deitch, David W. Lantis
The Geographical Bulletin
Nearly everyone seems to agree that there is a Southwest. But its location differs considerably according to the authority cited.2 Few would seem to agree that the collegiate athletic conference of that name is in the Southwest at all. " Our" Southwest (see map) is a dry land where there has been a blending of Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures. Hence it extends from the eastern face of the Peninsular Ranges (in southern California) to the Great Plains. It stretches northward from the Mexican border-but how far? In the northeastern quadrant physiography is important-the Southwest abuts against the Southern Rocky …
The Resolution Of The Rann Of Kutch Boundary Problem, John B. Ray
The Resolution Of The Rann Of Kutch Boundary Problem, John B. Ray
The Geographical Bulletin
Political geographers have long been concerned with international disputes resulting from ineffectively established boundaries. Some of these conflicts have led to the severing of diplomatic relations between states but have escaped general public notice. Others, more extreme in nature, have produced newspaper headlines, particularly if they resulted in armed clashes between the competing claimants. In modern terms most international boundaries are finite lines delimited by treaty, located on accompanying large scale maps and demarcated on the ground. Along these boundaries the effective sovereign ty of one state is separated from that of another state. Times are long past, in most …

South Acirema, Hjalmar B. Froiland
South Acirema, Hjalmar B. Froiland
The Geographical Bulletin
INTRODUCTION The continent of South Acirema is a fictitious region made by turning a familiar continent north to south in order to provide the student with a familiar land mass which has been changed. In this new context, students should be able to illustrate their understanding of the concepts which develop the world wide phenomena of climate, site location and transportation. The changed continent challenges the student to go beyond his knowledge of the real world. This exercise is developed for mature students who are concluding their studies of geography and a basic understanding of geographic concepts is therefore assumed. …
Response Error And Reality In Geographic Investigation, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
Response Error And Reality In Geographic Investigation, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
The Geographical Bulletin
The effect of response and nonresponse errors on the results of research is more dangerous and distroting of reality than the sampling error, since the exact amount of error in resronse nonresponse errors cannot be determined. Therefore, it is very essential that an adequate concern be given to response nonresponse errors in geographic investigation. The fundamentality of such concern should be emphasized at a stage of geographic research where a growing interest among geographers is geared toward the behavioral aspects of spatial phenomena. Such behavioral characteristics are emphasized in many recent studies such as that of Cox and Golledge,' Olsson …
Electricity, How An Energy Form Implements Geographic Change, Harold E. Murray
Electricity, How An Energy Form Implements Geographic Change, Harold E. Murray
The Geographical Bulletin
Agriculture is the greatest energy consuming industry of modern society. In this entire nation factories consume only half as much energy as do farms. Thus the farmer constantly searches for a cheaper form of power. Through the years he has utilized the wind, animals, water power, gas motors, and the human back. Since 1935 he has learned to use the almost miracle power of electricity-cheaper-more efficiently applied-more pliable than energy in any previously known form, the known uses total nearly five hundred-the end is nowhere in sight!' The intent here is to show, narratively and statistically, how the increase in …
The Mobile Home: A Neglected Phenomenon In Geographic Researc, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
The Mobile Home: A Neglected Phenomenon In Geographic Researc, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
The Geographical Bulletin
The neglect of certain types of housing units in geographic research implies a loss of vital information concerning different aspects such as the problems of location, housing, and behavioral patterns. The characteristics of the residential units may be approximations of the characteristics of their occupants. An individual's characteristics are the determinants which exert their influence on his behavior by initiating or constraining his action. It may be argued that the occupants of different types of housing units tend to exhibit different behavioral patterns. The aim of this paper is to bring to the attention of geographers a neglected phenomenon in …

The Via Egnatia: Rome's Traverse Of A Multi-Cultural Marchland, G. Philip Curti
The Geographical Bulletin
During the fourth century B.C., the Athenian empire encircled the Aegean Sea, Epirus tended to be independent, and Thessaly allied to Athens. Northward limits of Athenian control on the mainland approximately the latitude of Mount Olympus, and beyond the Haliacmon was Illyria and Macedonia. One of Alexander's first tasks was to control Balkan waist from Apollonia to the Hebrus, enforcing subservience of peoples such as the Paconians, Agrianis and Thracians and using those marchlands to exclude inroads from Illyria and Tribali along the lower Danube. As a result of the first Punic War (238 B.C.), Rome acquired a foothold across …

Toward A Viable Chapter Organization, Alice T.M. Rechlin
Toward A Viable Chapter Organization, Alice T.M. Rechlin
The Geographical Bulletin
On April 24, 1972, approximately ninety students and faculty from colleges and universities across the nation convened in Kansas City for the Gamma Theta Upsilon special session, held during the Sixty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers. The format for the session included group discussions and reports concentrating upon the theme: "Toward a Viable Chapter Organization." The underlying purpose was to provide participants with the opportunity to pool their ideas in an effort to strengthen Gamma Theta Upsilon at the local level. Sponsors of G. T. U. chapters have long realized how difficult it is to come up …
Toward An Alumni Chapter Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, Frederick A. Hirsch
Toward An Alumni Chapter Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, Frederick A. Hirsch
The Geographical Bulletin
Gamma Theta Upsilon is embarking on another venture to increase its service to the geographic community by establishing an alumni membership which will allow initiates to maintain an active identification with Gamma Theta Upsilon after they leave an active college chapter. Hopefully it will encourage our thousands of past initiates who are still interested in Geography to resume participation in Gamma Theta Upsilon activities. The alumni chapter is envisioned as a means of supporting an initiate's lifetime interest in Geography. It will allow the national organization to provide more services to the members, such as an expanded Gamma Theta Upsi …

This issue of The Geographical Bulletin represents some new ventures for Gamma Theta Upsilon. First, is the discussion of chapter activities from the meetings in Kansas City as organized by Dr. Alice Rechlin. It is a fine article which hopefully can be the springboard for "viable chapters." The venture lies in good chapter communications. The second is an article by Dr. Fred Hirsch who has been appointed by the GTU Executive Committee to establish an "alumni chapter" which can bring past members of GTU back into activity with the Society. We should all give wholehearted support to this venture. The …

College of Population Health Faculty Papers
The impact of living near environmental contamination on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is not well understood. This study examined the impacts of the residential proximity (RP) and time spent near a former Department of Energy uranium processing facility (located in Fernald, Ohio) on the surrounding community’s HRQoL outcomes. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using the data collected from participants using the Short Form-36 survey at the time of the enrollment in the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program (n = 7957). Mental and physical component summary scores (MCS and PCS, respectively) were computed for each participant. The scores were compared …
The Intersection Of Spirituality, Commerce, And Art In The Work Of William Keith, Joan Gallagher
The Intersection Of Spirituality, Commerce, And Art In The Work Of William Keith, Joan Gallagher
Theses
This thesis examines the nineteenth-century Tonalist artist William Keith, focusing on how he successfully integrated commerce, art, and spirituality to achieve financial success, artistic innovation, and spiritual depth. While scholars often emphasize the symbolism and religiosity in his work, they tend to overlook his financial accomplishments. This study explores Keith's background, religious influences, and artistic development within the cultural, economic, and social context of nineteenth-century America. As a Tonalist, Keith produced popular works for the art market; as a Swedenborgian, his art reflected the spiritual principles of that faith. Unlike his East Coast counterparts, Keith’s California-based landscapes captured the dramatic …
Regional Variations In Maternal Mortality, Infant Mortality, And Infants With Low Birth Weight: Implications For Sub Sahara Africa And Gender-Sensitive Policies, Guang-Zhen Wang
Journal of African Policy Studies
The paper examines regional variations in maternal mortality, infant mortality, and percentage infants with low birth weight in relation to economic development, gender equality, and women's rights by using data obtained from 137 developing countries (or areas). The 137 developing countries are divided into six regions: sub-Saharan Africa (N=45), Arab states (N=20), East Asia/Pacific (N=28), South Asia (N=9), Latin America/Caribbean (N=33), and Southern Europe (N=2). To examine regional variations, this paper is divided into four parts. The first part discusses regional variations in maternal mortality, infant mortality, and infants with low birth weight across and within regions. Part two focuses …

Economic Integration As A Contribution To Sustainable Development In The Horn Of Africa, Mengsteab Tesfayohannes, Hany Besada
Journal of African Policy Studies
The Horn of Africa is one of the most geopolitically important regions of the world, with great human and natural resource potential. Unfortunately, the region is notorious for its crises and instability. This is due to internal and external destabilising factors related to ethnicity, tribalism, resource sharing, poverty, superpower rivalry, porous borders and hegemonic desires. Although it differs slightly between countries, the average per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of the region is less than $200. Gender disparity in education and economic activity is prevalent in the region at all levels. Over 75% of the labour force is engaged in …
The Inescapable Ideology: How Third Cinema And Afrofuturism Can Change The Future, Daniel Silver
The Inescapable Ideology: How Third Cinema And Afrofuturism Can Change The Future, Daniel Silver
James Madison Undergraduate Research Journal (JMURJ)
Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther films brought the genre of Afrofuturism to a mainstream audience. Afrofuturism seeks to reclaim a past that was stolen by Western colonial and imperialist powers; because that past has been erased, it must be imagined in fiction. Afrofuturistic stories are then used to address issues in the present and look towards a better future. This paper examines how those stories are told using the words and symbols of the dominant ideology in society. It uses Althusser’s theory of Ideological State Apparatuses, Gramsci’s concept of cultural hegemony, and Solanas and Getino’s understanding of the Third Cinema movement, …

Population Increase, Environment, Food Access And Development In Africa: The Role Of The African Union, Amado J. Kaba
Journal of African Policy Studies
This paper examines the impact of the massive population increase in Africa in the post World War II era and the environmental challenges the continent confronts in trying to feed such a high number of people. The paper is divided into three sections. The first section examines the demographics of Africa, which show that the continent has increased its total population by 750 million people from 1950 to 2008. The second section of this paper then presents arguments by scholars pertaining to the environmental challenges, especially for agriculture, facing Africa as it finds ways to feed this massive number of …
