Abstract Sustainable land use is one of the emergent mountain concerns which requires immediate policy and regulatory attention. This study examines change prices at three different 5-yearly intervals: 2019, 2014 2009 respectively in urbanizing districts Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan. Empirical evidences are gathered by using mixed-method approaches. Findings suggest that households’ holdings culti...

The emerging importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has led to increasing interest in recent years about how to improve their performance. Therefore, to improve SMEs’ performance, we define proactivity as an essential factor that enables a company to anticipate change, to have the desire to make a change, and to create that change in our research framework. We also suppose tha...

This paper presents an approach for designing multi-input shapers using an s-plane pole placement technique. Slightly more information about the system model is taken into account than has been traditionally done with input shaping designs. The input shaping sequences for all system inputs are solved for simultaneously , and the resulting designs lead to shorter impulse sequences than solving f...

Several contributing factors have been implicated in evolutionary rate heterogeneity among proteins, but their evolutionary mechanisms remain poorly characterized. The recently sequenced 12 Drosophila genomes provide a unique opportunity to shed light on these unresolved issues. Here, we focus on the role of natural selection in shaping evolutionary rates. We use the Drosophila genomic data to ...
