ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. one element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

Event-based communication is useful in many application domains, ranging from small, centralised applications to large, distributed systems. Many different event models have been developed to address the requirements of different application domains. One such model is the ECO model which was designed to support distributed virtual world applications. Like many other event models, ECO has event ...

Bst EII identifies, a bi-allelic polymorphism in the human LDL receptor gene (l). The 33kb allelc cannot readily be distinguished from the 24kb fragment in the heterozygote using a 0.6 agarose gel. Lower percentage gels often cause handling problems. We suggest co-digestion of DNA with non-polymorphic enzymes such as Eco RI (or Bam HI). Figure 1 shows an autoradiograph of a Southern blot where ...
