Posttranscriptional regulation in eukaryotes requires cis- and trans-acting features and factors including RNA secondary structure and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, a comprehensive view of the structural and RBP interaction landscape of nuclear RNAs has yet to be compiled for any organism. Here, we use our ribonuclease-mediated structure and RBP-binding site mapping approaches to global...

A closed view of a database schema is one which is totally encapsulated. Insofar as the user is concerned, the view is the database schema. The rest of the database system is not visible through the view, and is is not required for complete use of the view. Similarly, the updates which may be effected through the view have their scope limited entirely to that view. In this paper, we lay the mat...

We used a comparative mensurative landscape-level experiment to quantify the relative importance of mature forest area and fragmentation and differences among watersheds in influencing avian community diversity in the Oregon Coast Range, USA. Our study design included three large hydrological basins, two levels of fragmentation, and six levels of mature forest area. We recorded 82 species of bi...

In this contribution we consider the eeect of a class of \averaging op-erators" on isotropic tness landscapes. Explicit expressions for the correlation function of the averaged landscapes are derived. A new class of tunably rugged landscapes, obtained by iterated smoothing of the random energy model, is established. The correlation structure of certain landscapes, among them the Sherrington-Kir...

Insect communities depend on both their local environment and features of the surrounding habitats. Diverse plant communities may enhance the abundance and species diversity of local natural enemies, which is possible due to a higher abundance and species diversity in complex landscapes. This hypothesis was tested using cereal aphid parasitoids and hyper-parasitoids by comparing 18 spring wheat...

Cultural identity is strongly associated with the ways in which people interact with their landscapes. A few special landscapes may have universal’ or ‘outstanding’ values, but almost all landscapes will be valued in multiple ways by those people who are closely associated with them. t is important that those making decisions affecting landscapes are aware of the potential nature and range of c...

Traditional rural landscapes emerged from the long term interaction of the natural and anthropogenic environment. These landscapes are now threatened by drastic social-ecological changes. Recent international trends on sustaining cultural landscapes place great emphasis on understanding of multiple values, presented in the landscape, by considering various stakeholder perspectives. It is now re...

The article analyzes the features of landscape design two different subzones Montenegro – northern part Adriatic coast and Bay Kotor. aim is to identify main natural urban planning factors that determine nature greening in resort towns North Coastal region Montenegro, characteristic techniques basic approaches territory recreational facilities. methods geospatial analysis, historical analysis c...

Human-dominated landscapes often feature patches that fluctuate in suitability through space and time, but there is little experimental evidence relating the consequences of dynamic patches for species persistence. We used a spatially and temporally dynamic metapopulation model to assess and compare metapopulation capacity and persistence for red flour beetles (Tribolium castaneum) in experimen...
