Having It Both Ways? Land Use Change in a U.S. Midwestern Agricultural Ecoregion

ANDTRANSLATION - Having it both - Kenji Hakuta ways

The problem of bilingualism is socially important for obvious reasons. Even if relatively stringent definitions of language ability were employed, probably a majority of the world’s population would be considered bilingual. Further, with increasing immigration, significant proportions of students in schools are coming from language backgrounds other than that of the majority culture. One study ...

Having it both ways: transcription factors that bind DNA and RNA.

Multifunctional proteins challenge the conventional 'one protein-one function' paradigm. Here we note apparent multifunctional proteins with nucleic acid partners, tabulating eight examples. We then focus on eight additional cases of transcription factors that bind double-stranded DNA with sequence specificity, but that also appear to lead alternative lives as RNA-binding proteins. Exemplified ...

The SLEUTH Land Use Change Model: A Review

Land use change is driven by interaction in space and time between humans and the environment that can be captured by computer simulation models (Veldkamp and Verburg, 2004). In the last few decades, land use change models have played an important role in understanding the causes, mechanisms and consequences of land use dynamics. SLEUTH is an open source cellular automata based land use change ...

A GIS Based Integrated Land Use/Cover Change Model to Study Agricultural and Urban Land Use Changes

Land use and land cover is an important component in understanding the interactions of the human activities with the environment and thus it is necessary to be able to simulate such changes. The authors have developed a national scale, integrated, dynamic time-series simulation model called the ‘Anthropogenically Engineered Transformations of Land Use and Land Cover’ (AGENT-LUC) Model, which si...
