Landscaping the epigenetic landscape of cancer
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2018Waddington's epigenetic landscape was introduced in biology for understanding the complex process of metazoan development in an accessible fashion. The epigenetic landscape concept implies the coupling of cell differentiation and tissue/organ morphogenesis under a simple visual metaphor or analogy with significant heuristic value.

Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik, 2001
In order to establish meaningful mathematics education and to make the students active learners, there are no simple principles to be applied. Meaningfulness is something that needs to be searched for. One suggestion is to search outside the school mathematics tradition, and I have been fascinated by the possibilities that project work may offer ...

Landscape and landscape ecology
2002The question: “What is a landscape?” is problematic. The difficulty associated with the question has its roots in the “normality” of the term “landscape”, because it is part of the colloquial speech. This situation is comparable with those we face when dealing with the words “environment” or “recreation” — everybody “knows” what the words mean but they

Landscape ecology and biodiversity in agricultural landscapes
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2013Agriculture is mainly seen as a threat for biodiversity of agro-ecosystems. Intensification of agriculture and its expansion into marginal lands has substantially modified the physiognomy of rural landscapes through fragmentation and homogenisation, promoting the loss of both natural habitats and biodiversity (Benton et al., 2003).

Complexity often arises in the way things are distributed in a landscape. Sampling is subject to scale and can display properties of fractals. Cellular automata, which represent a landscape as a grid of sites, are often used to model processes in landscapes. These models highlight the phase change that occurs between connected and fragmented landscapes.

2002Landscapes are changing continuously. This is true due to natural conditions as well as to human activities, especially in the last centuries. That is why special investigations in this field are very important. They are a prerequisite for the elaboration of concepts with regard to sustainable development: The early recognition and assessment of ...

Narrating Landscape, Landscaping Narrative
Russian Studies in Literature, 2003One of the latest trends in landscape depiction is the effort to deconstruct historical mediations of landscape and recover some sort of direct, or at least ironic, relationship to one's natural surroundings. In the United States, photographers have taken to making fun of the iconic status of famous wilderness views, as with Roger Minick's pictures of ...

Ascetic Landscapes and Aesthetic Landscapes
2020Basil and Gregory of Nazianzus use ekphrasis to produce rival interpretations of the same place. An examination of their use of ekphrasis shows that it is not an entertaining frame for or distraction from their argument, but rather the means by which their argument is conducted.
