Imagining the future has become an increasingly arduous exercise especially if we consider constant anthropic modifications and their consequences to which environment is subjected. In face of climate change, reduction in land consumption energy efficiency buildings are some missions be pursued achieve adequate level sustainability, search for inclusive, safe, durable urban settlements.

The preplate of the cerebral cortex contains projection neurons that connect the cortical primordium with the subpallium. These are collectively named pioneer neurons. After preplate partition, most of these pioneer neurons become subplate neurons. Certain preplate neurons, however, never associate with the subplate but rather with the marginal zone. In the present overview, we propose a novel ...

Agriculture and local food products can have a significant impact on the economic development of rural areas. However, in environments as harsh marginal mountain areas it may be difficult to find right conditions start new production. This study aims present positive negative circumstances for starting operating agricultural activities minor contexts while assuming farmer’s viewpoint. With refe...

This paper proposes four metrics to measure sprawl in metropolitan regions as marginal changes in land use over time. The metrics (change in urban housing unit density, marginal land consumption per new urban household, housing unit density in newly urbanized areas and percent of new housing units located in previously developed areas) are computed for all 329 metropolitan areas in the continen...
