Over the past decades, several studies have shown that tumor-related somatic and germline alterations predicts tumor prognosis, drug response and toxicity. Latin American populations present a vast geno-phenotypic diversity due to the great interethnic and interracial mixing. This genetic flow leads to the appearance of complex characteristics that allow individuals to adapt to endemic environm...

Protected areas and national parks need periodic assessment and monitoring for evaluating natural resources, effectiveness of management and studying the effects of global climate change. The present work has been undertaken to prepare the multi-date vegetation density maps in terms of Normalised vegetation index (NDVI) and to monitor the changes in and around the areas close to transition, buf...

This article explores the popularized history of a state-peasant conservation alliance in southern Mexico. Following poststructural calls, it treats this history as a locally constructed "regime of nature," a story that condenses and attempts to direct the intersection of history, cultural mediation, and ecology. Using ethnographic and archival material, it examines what factors made capitalist...

Given a grammar (or other sorts of meta-data), one can trivially derive combinatorially exhaustive test-data sets up to a specified depth. Without further efforts, such test-data sets would be huge at the least and explosive most of the time. Fortunately, scenarios of grammar-based testing tend to admit nonexplosive approximations of naive combinatorial coverage. In this paper, we describe the ...

parishan lake has been selected by unesco as a biosphere reserve and was recorded as an international wetland in ramsar convention in 1986. this region is located (29°31'n 51°48'e) at 820 m in kazeroon, fars province, south of iran and is the largest freshwater lake in the country. parishan lake is extremely important for a wide variety of wintering waterfowl and also for breeding waterfowl, es...

Prevention of environment- and gene-dependent, teratogenic malfunctions ("Functional Teratogenesis")-- caused by abnormal hormone, neurotransmitter and cytokine concentrations during organization of the neuro-endocrine-immune system (NEIS) should be considered as a global challenge of outstanding relevance. By optimizing the natural and social environment and correcting in time abnormal concent...

introductionenvironmental pollution, especially marine pollution, is one of the complex and minatory problems that human is facing at the present time. many of human activities have irrecoverable outcomes and affect the marine environment in such a way that destruction of marine zones has become a significant warning. one of the most important ecosystems in iran is hara biosphere reserve, locat...

To prevent population extirpations, we need to understand a species’ requirements, especially for critically endangered species inhabiting biodiversity hotspots. Studying animal movement provides necessary insights and gauges protected area effectiveness. Southeast Asian areas are becoming isolated, stressing the maintaining viability. We used radio-telemetry with Elongated Tortoise (Indotestud...
