A football doesn't have contours, but to a six-year-old boy it was a means of mapping the world.
C. M. Trautwein, a geologist with the survey's Earth Resources Observation and Science Center, explained that "the more accurate means of mapping water bodies and land-water" of the past decade are, in part, responsible for the differences.
In theogonies, or tales of the origin of gods (e.g., that by Hesiod), or in legendary lists of human offspring (such as the genealogies in the Old Testament), relations of descent and the association of characteristics, territories, and spheres of influence with descendants provide a means of mapping the cosmos and the human world.
The genetic effects of each QTL have been confirmed in advanced backcross populations, and two novel heading date genes (Hd16 and Hd17) have been cloned by means of map-based strategies (Matsubara et al. 2012, Hori et al. 2013, Hori et al. 2017).
By means of map-based cloning and genetic complementation analysis, Hd6 was finally identified as a gene that encodes the α subunit of protein kinase CK2 (CK2α), in which the Kasalath allele functions to increase days-to-heading, whereas the Nipponbare allele is nonfunctional because it contains a premature stop codon caused by a nonsynonymous substitution in its coding region [33].
The use of rapidly acquired magnetic measurements represents a relatively new potential means of mapping and measuring soil redistribution.
This study implemented the Social Convoy Questionnaire (modified) as a means of mapping the social networks of study participants.
One application of imaging genomics is to explore genetic variants associated with brain structure and function, presenting a new means of mapping genetic influences on mental disorders.
Optical Earth observation data offers the most feasible and accessible means of mapping and monitoring the forest cover heterogeneity in this region.
