Large Enterprises

This article focuses on spatial structure of one hundred largest enterprises in the Czech Republic from evolutionary perspective. The location of large enterprise headquarters in the Czech Republic and its implications for country’s economic spatial profile and unevenly distributed economic power is discussed thoroughly. The whole analysis is pragmatically accomplished at the level of self-governmental NUTS III regions. As it is shown, intense concentration processes in the location of largest enterprise headquarters were observed during the analyzed period between 1995 and 2010. The capital city with its surroundings proved to be the winners of this process. Currently, the spatial pattern of afore mentioned head offices is basically stabilized. On the other hand, weight of large enterprises of many regions is almost negligible and subsequently, rank of individual regions can be rather volatile. Generally speaking, economic map of the Czech Republic is not entirely in compliance with country’s settlement system. Simultaneously, fundamental factors determining the location of large enterprise head offices are evaluated also from qualitative perspective. Traditional hard location factors, such as infrastructure, geographical location or agglomeration economies turned out to be decisive for location decision-making. Apart from Prague, headquarters of large enterprises tend to prefer other big towns in the country, such as Brno, Ostrava, Olomouc, Hradec Králové or Plzeň.

Spatial Use

Long-term tagging studies, particularly those that target life stages away from nesting beaches can provide important insights in key life history traits, which are essential for the effective management of endangered species. The coast of Bahia hosts important green turtle foraging areas, but information on demography, spatial use and foraging ecology in this region is lacking. Here, we (1) examined the size-class structure of green turtles in Bahia, (2) compared the size distribution from Bahia to other foraging aggregations in Brazil, and (3) studied the somatic growth dynamics. Additionally, we investigated the (4) diet, (5) habitat use and (6) activity patterns of green turtles along shallow reefs in Bahia. From 2009 to 2013, 322 green turtles were captured and 44 were recaptured between 7 and 1218 days after initial tagging. Curved carapace length varied from 32.9 to 122.5 cm. Mean annual growth rate was 3.03 ± 1.18 cm year−1. The diet of the turtles was mainly composed of red algae of the family Gelidiaceae, Gelidiellaceae and Cystocloniaceae. There was a positive relationship between the abundance of red algae and the number of turtle sightings, with a significant increase in foraging activity during late afternoon. This study highlights the importance of this area as a mixed foraging aggregation of juvenile and adult green turtles, and reveals that foraging grounds for this species in Brazil exhibit southern immature-dominated assemblages and northern mixed aggregations. Areas with high aggregation of green turtles comprising individuals from different life stages must be targeted for conservation management.

<p>Analysis of correlation among precipitation, wind, and solar resources could explore their complementary features, enhance the utilization efficiency of renewable energy and further alleviate the carbon emission issues caused by fossil energy. In this study, we discuss the correlation between precipitation and wind, wind and solar, precipitation and solar from various Spatio-temporal perspectives (from east to west in China, in terms of plain, plateau, hill, and mountain, from daily to ten days and monthly) with observed data. With investigation of daily time series of precipitation, wind speed and solar radiation ranging from 1961-1-1 to 2016-12-31 of 726 meteorological stations located in various landform and distributed dispersedly in China, the results show that 1) the fluctuation value, quantified by Mei-Wang Fluctuation index, denotes the descending tendency when the time resolution increases, and this tendency is stronger in the southern and eastern China; 2) the correlation coefficient, characterized by Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient, changes from east to west in China, and the strength of this correlation displays certain connection to the local topography (e.g., in Qinghai province which is located in the plateau region the complementarity between precipitation and wind speed is stronger than that between precipitation and solar, the mid-stream basin of Yangtze River where the topography is scattered and complex has the weaker complementarity compared to other areas in China). According to the results of this research, it is helpful from the temporal perspective to understand the requirement of complementarity in the utilization of wind, and solar resources which are intermittent, and from the spatial perspective to know the solution of mitigating fluctuation via integration of multi-renewable energy situated in different locations.</p>
