A few years ago, validating proteins to see if they were good or bad was a process that took years. With the creation of Ramachandran Graph evaluates protein structures through angles φ (phi) and ψ (psi), this task became less onerous. evolution computing bioinformatics, platforms have been created generate graphs in an online manner, however, high degree usability complexity. The system...

Objectives: To analyze Transcultural Landscapes defined by Public Space and Bioclimatic Architecture of African Brazilians Indigenous Cultures. architecture from native ethnic groups added to Africans who came the country as slaves. Such Brazilian tropical is characterized moving away not only usual constructive methods, but also a characteristic western culture aggressiveness towards nature. T...

to facilitate a comprehensive whole population visual acuity screening, a 1-meter vision screener “e” chart was prepared to be used in the person-by-person household visual acuity examination by non-expert health workers. the chart is designed to be used in measuring visual acuity from a distance of one meter. the scaling is in terms of-log mar (logarithm of minimum angle of resolution) with a ...

ANUCLIM (Xu and Hutchinson, 2011) is a software package used to support the spatial modelling of environmental and natural resources. It enables users to readily obtain estimates, in point and grid form, of monthly, seasonal and annual mean climate variables from supplied elevation dependent monthly mean climate surfaces and an underlying digital elevation model. The climate surfaces are derive...

Bioclimatic envelope models of species' responses to climate change are used to predict how species will respond to increasing temperatures. These models are frequently based on the assumption that the northern and southern boundaries of a species' range define its thermal niche. However, this assumption may be violated if populations are adapted to local temperature regimes and have evolved po...

Aim To analyse the effects of nine species trait variables on the accuracy of bioclimatic envelope models built for 98 butterfly species. Location Finland, northern Europe. Methods Data from a national butterfly atlas monitoring scheme (NAFI) collected from 1991–2003 with a resolution of 10 × 10 km were used in the analyses. Generalized additive models (GAMs) were constructed for 98 butterfly s...
