Classical theories of urban sprawl are based on the assumption that peri-urban formation evolves in a
homogeneous rural-urban space surface. As a result, urban sprawl is mistakenly viewed to take place in

Analysis of fatigue crack initiation and S–N response of model cast aluminium piston alloys
(2011)
Fatigue crack initiation and S–N fatigue behaviour of hipped model Al7Si–Sr and Al0.7Si piston alloys have been investigated after overaging at 260 °C for 100 h to provide a practical simulation of in-service conditions. ...
Flow-Based Structural Modelling And Dynamic Simulation Of Lake Water Levels.
(2011)
The continuing decline in lake water levels is both a concern and daunting challenge to scientists and policymakers in this era, demanding a rethinking of technological and policy interventions in the context of broader ...
Analysis of natural degradation of high-density polyethylene lining using time-dependent properties
(2011)
The main objective of this study was to determine the service life of high-density polyethylene lining when exposed to natural degradation in tropical climates using time-dependant properties. The changes in material ...
Land Tenure in Slum Upgrading Projects
(2011)
This paper gives an overview of slum upgrading in Kenya observing that slums are a major urban housing phenomena in Kenya that require immediate attention. Rather than demolishing them, which renders many people homeless, ...
