Land of Tempest, Travels in Patagonia 1958-1962

Biol. Pharm. Bull. 28(10) 1958—1962 (2005)

fragments, containing the normal sequences, have been examined for their gene correction abilities by the small fragment homologous replacement (SFHR) method. Correction of mutations in the CFTR and dystrophin genes by the SFHR method has been examined and partial gene corrections were obtained. The corrected genes should be properly expressed under the control of the original promoter. When co...

introduction generally speaking, this article offers a critical analysis of the land tenure systems in iran with an emphasis on land tenure system in kurdistan and prior to the land reform in 1962. the objective of this article is to address the contradictory narratives that have taken shape regarding the geographical boundaries of boneh in iran. this is an attempt to offer a new and fundamenta...

A Scientific Tempest

Travels in Gene Space

The Captain peers over the bow of his computer ship, Floating down the river of evolution-time, In the landscape of gene-space. Gene sequences running parallel on either side, Spreading, evolving, as far as the eye can see. Ahead, the future is unclear, sequences shrouded in mist. But this is no surprise. Prediction is a risky business. Looking behind, some sequences shine brightly, Known sampl...

A Markov Chain Model of Land Use Change in the Twin Cities , 1958 - 2005

The set of models available to predict land use change in urban regions has become increasingly complex in recent years. Despite their complexity, the predictive power of these models remains relatively weak. This paper presents an example of an alternative modeling framework based on the concept of a Markov chain. The model assumes that land use at any given time, which is viewed as a discrete...
