Two-ballot versus plurality rule: an empirical investigation on the number of candidates
Gonçalves, Carlos Eduardo S.; Madeira, Ricardo A.; … - Departamento de Economia, Universidade Federal do Paraná - 2011
Duverger claimed more than 50 years ago that the number of candidates in elections should be a function of electoral rules. Both his “law” and “hypothesis” suggest the number of candidates vying for seats in elections to be tightly linked to characteristics of the electoral process such...

Flood Modeling for Complex Terrain Using GIS and Remote Sensed Information
Liu, Y.; Smedt, F. - In: Water Resources Management 19 (2005) 5, pp. 605-624
A spatially distributed hydrological model WetSpa (Water and Energy Transfer between Soil, Plants and Atmosphere) working on an hourly time scale is presented in this paper. The model combines elevation, soil and land use data, and predicts flood hydrograph and the spatial distribution of...

The Flood Risk in Cairns
Baddiley, Peter - In: Natural Hazards 30 (2003) 2, pp. 155-164
The Cairns region, on the north tropical coast of Queensland, forms part of the wettest area in Australia, with mean annual rainfalls of 2,000 to 4,000 mm. During the summer and early autumn months, intense rainfalls associated with cyclones and other tropical weather influences persist for...
