According to studies in human and mouse species it is apparent that both CD40 ligand and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) are members of a novel family of cytokines, referred to as the TNF - superfamily. This article reports the cloning of the cattle CD40 lignad and cattle TNF alpha, and s...

Cloning of two members of the TNF - superfamily in cattle: CD40 ligand and tumor necrosis factor alpha
The objective of this study is to better understand the complexity of deforestation processes in southern Cameroon by testing a multivariate, spatial model of land-cover change trajectories associated with deforestation. The spatial model integrates a spectrum of independent variables that charac...
The authors used a configurational comparative approach, the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), to study multiple causal interactions characterizing deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. Their data set is based on seven local case studies at three time periods. Results reveal a limited numb...

Geographic information system techniques were used in combination with remote sensing data to define the net commercial value of standing timber at two sites (Batouri and Bertoua) in the East province of Cameroon. Observed forest cover modifications for the two sites were assessed in relation to ...
