This layer is part of a set of georeferenced, raster images of the manuscript, paper map set entitled: Ch'ing-Hai upper Yellow River expedition : Rock and Simpson, 1925-27, [cartography by J.F. Rock]. Scale 1:250,000. This layer image is of Sheet IX [of 10] covering a portion of the Yellow River (Huang He) region in southern Gansu Sheng and northwestern Sichuan Sheng, China, including parts of Baishui Jiang and Pai Ho (Gar He). The map set details the route and surrounding environs of the Arnold Arboretum's "Western China" expedition led by Joseph Rock, 1924-1927. The set covers a portion of the Yellow River (Huang He) region in south central China (Qinghai, Gansu, and Sichuan shengs (a portion of historic Tibet)). It shows features, labeled variously in English, Chinese, Wade-Giles transliteration, and Tibetan, including: rivers, streams, lakes, mountains, gorges, valleys, plateaus, plains, cities, towns, villages, provincial capitals, county seats, passes, monasteries, ruin sites, native tribe locations, and more. Relief is shown by hachures, spot heights, and landform drawings. The original manuscript map set is part of the Harvard College Library, Harvard Map Collection. "Joseph Rock traced his travels for the [Arnold] Arboretum's [Western China] 1924-1927 expedition in a colorful, hand-drawn map entitled 'Ch'ing-Hai upper Yellow River expedition.'

Gestão Ambiental apoiada por SIG na estrada da Colônia, Ilha Grande (RJ): uma visão do futuro.

Os SIG Sistemas de Informação Geográfica vêm sendo cada vez mais estudados como ferramentas facilitadoras de análises territoriais com o objetivo de subsidiar a gestão ambiental. A Ilha Grande, que pertence ao município de Angra dos Reis, localiza-se na baía de Ilha Grande no sul do estado do Rio de Janeiro e constitui-se no recorte espacial de análise. Apresenta uma dinâmica ambiental complexa que se sobrepõem principalmente aos usos de proteção ambiental e de atividade turística em uma porção do território em que as normatizações legais são difíceis de serem aplicadas, pois são reflexos de interesses que se manifestam em três esferas do poder a municipal, a estadual e a federal. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é a realização do processamento digital de imagem para auxiliar a gestão territorial da Ilha Grande. Em foco, a estrada Abraão - Dois Rios, que liga Abraão (local de desembarque dos turistas, principal núcleo da Ilha) a Dois Rios (local de visitação por estudantes e pesquisadores, núcleo que abrigava o presídio, atualmente abriga sede do centro de pesquisa e museu da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro), ambos protegidos por diferentes categorias de unidades de conservação. A metodologia fundamenta-se no processamento digital de imagem através da segmentação e da classificação supervisionada por pixel e por região. O processamento deu-se a partir da segmentação (divisão de uma imagem digital em múltiplas regiões ou objetos, para simplificar e/ou mudar a representação de uma imagem) e dos processos de classificações de imagem, com a utilização de classificação por pixel e classificação por regiões (com a utilização do algoritmo Bhattacharya). As segmentações e classificações foram processadas no sistema computacional SPRING versão 5.1.7 e têm como objetivo auxiliar na análise de uso da Terra e projetar cenários a partir da identificação dos pontos focais de fragilidade encontrados ao longo da estrada Abraão-Dois Rios, propensos a ocorrências de movimentos de massa e que potencializam o efeito de borda da floresta e os impactos ambientais. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se em análise de campo e comparações de tecnologias de classificação de imagens. Essa estrada eixo de ligação entre os dois núcleos tem significativa importância na história da Ilha, nela circulam veículos, pesados e leves, de serviço, pedestres e turistas. Como resultados da presente foram gerados os mapas de classificação por pixel, os mapas de classificação por região, o mapa fuzzy com a intersecção dos mapas de classificação supervisionada por região e os mapas com os locais coletados em campo onde são verificadas ocorrências de movimentos de massa nas imagens ALOS, 2000, IKONOS, 2003 e ortofotografias, 2006. Esses mapas buscam servir de apoio à tomada de decisões por parte dos órgãos locais responsáveis.

The [(G/C)3NN]n motif: a common DNA repeat that excludes nucleosomes.

Nucleosomes, the basic structural elements of chromosomes, consist of 146 bp of DNA coiled around an octamer of histone proteins, and their presence can strongly influence gene expression. Considerations of the anisotropic flexibility of nucleotide triplets containing 3 cytosines or guanines suggested that a [5'(G/C)3 NN3']n motif might resist wrapping around a histone octamer. To test this, DNAs were constructed containing a 5'-CCGNN-3' pentanucleotide repeat with the Ns varied. Using in vitro nucleosome reconstitution and electron microscopy, a plasmid with 48 contiguous CCGNN repeats strongly excluded nucleosomes in the repeat region. Competitive reconstitution gel retardation experiments using DNA fragments containing 12, 24, or 48 CCGNN repeats showed that the propensity to exclude nucleosomes increased with the length of the repeat. Analysis showed that a 268-bp DNA containing a (CCGNN)48 block is 4.9 +/- 0.6-fold less efficient in nucleosome assembly than a similar length pUC19 fragment and approximately 78-fold less efficient than a similar length (CTG)n sequence, based on results from previous studies. Computer searches against the GenBank database for matches with a [(G/C)3NN]48 sequence revealed numerous examples that frequently were present in the control regions of "TATA-less" genes, including the human ETS-2 and human dihydrofolate reductase genes. In both cases the (G/C)3NN repeat, present in the promoter region, co-maps with loci previously shown to be nuclease hypersensitive sites.
