Li, R., El-Basyouny, K., Kim, A.
This study examined the safety effects of the City of Edmonton’s mobile enforcement program. Four years of city-wide monthly collision data, enforcement statistics, and employment rate data was incorporated in a generalized linear Poisson model. It was found that the estimations of the...

Background The main two sorts of automatic gene annotation frameworks are ab initio and alignment-based, the latter splitting into two sub-groups. The first group is used for intra-species alignments, among which are successful ones with high specificity and speed. The other group contains more...

It is evident that epigenetic factors, especially DNA methylation, have essential roles in obesity development. Here, using pig as a model, we investigate the systematic association between DNA methylation and obesity. We sample eight variant adipose and two distinct skeletal muscle tissues from...

Before-and-after empirical Bayes evaluation of automated mobile speed enforcement on urban arterial roads
Download2019-11-12
Li, R., El-Basyouny, K., Kim, A.
Speeding is a leading factor in road collisions and is found to contribute to approximately one third of fatal collisions. Speed enforcement is one of the most common countermeasures used to reduce speed. However, a gap exists in the literature regarding the effectiveness of automated mobile...

BGI-RIS: An integrated information resource and comparative analysis workbench for rice genomics
Download2004
Wang, J., Chen, Y., Zhao, H., Dai, M., Zhao, W., Huang, X., Zhang, Y., Ren. X., Jiao, Y., Wong, G., Wei, S., Ni, P., Yu, J., Zhang, J., Li, S., Yang, H., Fu, J., He, X.
Rice is a major food staple for the world's population and serves as a model species in cereal genome research. The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) has long been devoting itself to sequencing, information analysis and biological research of the rice and other crop genomes. In order to facilitate...

The chloroplast NAD(P)H dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex consists of about 30 subunits from both thenuclear and chloroplast genomes and is ubiquitous across most land plants. In some orchids, such as Pha-laenopsis equestris, Dendrobium officinale and Dendrobium catenatum, most of the 11...

Diagenetic overprint on negative <delta>13C excursions across the Permian/Triassic boundary: A case study from Meishan section, China.
Download2017-01-01
The Meishan Section D from China is the global stratotype section and point (GSSP) of the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB). The succession has been divided into 115 beds with the PTB being placed in the middle of Bed 27. In this section and the laterally equivalent Section A, the diagenetic...

Background Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones that control many aspects of plant growth. The SL signalling mechanism is homologous to that of karrikins (KARs), smoke-derived compounds that stimulate seed germination. In angiosperms, the SL receptor is an α/β-hydrolase known as...
