PREDICTING LAND USE CHANGE ON A BROAD AREA: DYNA-CLUE MODEL APPLICATION TO THE LITORALE DOMIZIO-AGRO AVERSANO (CAMPANIA, SOUTH ITALY)

Predicting land use change on a broad area: Dyna-CLUE model application to the Litorale Domizio-Agro Aversano (Campania, South Italy)

The long-standing awareness of the environmental impact of land-use change (LUC) has led scientific community to develop tools able to predict their amount and to evaluate their effect on environment, with the aim supporting policy makers in their planning activities.This paper proposes an implementation of the Dyna-CLUE (Dynamic Conversion of Land

B-modes from galaxy cluster alignments in future surveys

Intrinsic alignment (IA) of source galaxies represents an important contaminant for upcoming cosmic shear surveys.In particular, it is expected on general grounds that IA contains a B-mode while the weak lensing signal does not.Thus, a detection of B-modes offers the possibility to study directly the IA signal of the sources.Galaxy clusters exhibit

Ciliopathy-Associated Protein Kinase ICK Requires Its Non-Catalytic Carboxyl-Terminal Domain for Regulation of Ciliogenesis

Loss-of-function mutations in the human ICK (intestinal cell kinase) gene cause dysfunctional primary cilia and perinatal lethality which are associated with human ciliopathies.The enzyme that Bangers we herein call CAPK (ciliopathy-associated protein kinase) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that has a highly conserved MAPK-like N-terminal cata
