The Economic Aspects of the Metropolitan Region

Abstract

In the very nature of the title of this article, there are perhaps three major problems which ought to be clarified. First, perhaps, is the importance of the region, especially the "natural" region. This receives attention elsewhere in this symposium and is relatively the least important point in my discussion although it will deserve some attention. The second is the distinction between metropolitanism and other aspects of regionalism which are of importance especially from the economic point of view. This also requires some elaboration. Finally, there is the main problem to which this article is addressed, that is, the economic aspects of the metropolitan region itself. These economic aspects will be substantially clarified in the process of definition. DELINEATION OF THE "REGION" * This article being in the nature of a thoughtful but impressionistic review of the title problem, it has seemed impractical to select a few out of the growing body of references on the topic. The author is nonetheless indebted to the work of many in this field, and especially to the stimulating contacts provided with his colleagues and others through his work at the Institute for Urban Studies.

Potential causes and consequences of rapid mitochondrial genome evolution in thermoacidophilic Galdieria (Rhodophyta)

“…After the re-assembly step, a complete circular mitogenome or partial linear mitogenome contigs were obtained from each species. The completeness of these mitogenome sequences were tested by LASTZ [ 81 ] and by comparison with two published mitogenomes (NC_000887: Cz. merolae 10D, NC_024666: G. sulphuraria 074 W).…”

Dynamic evolutionary history and gene content of sex chromosomes across diverse songbirds

“…The W-linked scaffolds were then aligned to the pseudo-chrZ using lastz 80 , after masking repetitive sequences. Sequence similarity of the alignments between the chrZ and chrW was calculated by the script pslScore from UCSC Genome Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu/).…”

Identifying and sequencing a Mycobacterium sp. strain F4 as a potential bioremediation agent for quinclorac

“…WY10. We first performed whole genome alignment using LASTZ Release 1.04.00 [ 17 ] with chain and MUMmer (version 3.23) [ 18 ]. We used F4 as the target genome and aligned EPa45 and WY 10 with it ( Fig 9 ).…”
