biodiversity plays a crucial role in stability and productivity of natural ecosystem. the main goal of this research was to classify ecological groups in steppe rangeland and investigate their relationships with plant diversity indices. therefore, fifty different land unit tracts (lut) were identified in khod-neuk basin, yazd province, iran, in 2010. vegetation and soil samples were taken in th...

in this study, species richness, evenness and vegetation biodiversity were investigated in stabilized and non-stabilized cut edge areas of chachkam district forest roads in sari forest of iran. 18 micro plots 1×1m (36 micro plots) were sampled to carry out this research on two cut edge areas. number of trees, shrubs and herbaceous were recorded in each micro-plot. significant difference was inv...

forest reserves are one of the most important approaches in ecosystem management in iran. in order to determine the effects of reserve management on plants diversity (woody plants and ground flora) in three zones (core zone, buffer zone, and transmission zone of chamhesar pear forest reserve), we mapped land form units. then 18 main sampling units (20×50=1000 m2) distributed randomly were chose...

Rather than using traditional text analysis to discover Web pages similar to a given page, we investigate applying link analysis. Since web pages exist in a link-rich environment, that has the potential to relate pages by any property imaginable — since links are not restricted to intrinsic properties of the page text or metadata. In particular, while Web page similarity link analysis has been ...

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD by Timothy J. Miles-Board Early hypertext visionaries proposed entire online archives of the world’s literature, with everything associatively linked to everything else. Today, the most widespread hypertext system is the World-Wide Web (WWW), a publicl...

High tropical species diversity is often attributed to evolutionary dynamics over long timescales. It is possible, however, that latitudinal variation in diversification begins when divergence occurs within species. Phylogeographic data capture this initial stage of diversification in which populations become geographically isolated and begin to differentiate genetically. There is limited under...

Codon usage data has been compiled for 110 yeast genes. Cluster analysis on relative synonymous codon usage revealed two distinct groups of genes. One group corresponds to highly expressed genes, and has much more extreme synonymous codon preference. The pattern of codon usage observed is consistent with that expected if a need to match abundant tRNAs, and intermediacy of tRNA-mRNA interaction ...

a total of 90 species, belonging to 29 genera and 15 families, observed from an urban wetland of meghalaya is the species-rich rotifera assemblage known till date from any sub-tropical ecosystem of the indian sub-region. total richness (s) merits biodiversity value as ~56.0, ~ 38.0 and ~23.0 % of the species recorded from meghalaya, northeast india (nei) and india, respectively while several ro...

In this paper, we study combinatorial and structural properties of a new class of finite and infinite words that are ‘rich’ in palindromes in the utmost sense. A characteristic property of so-called rich words is that all complete returns to any palindromic factor are themselves palindromes. These words encompass the well-known episturmian words, originally introduced by the second author toget...
