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...

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...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common cause of non-traumatic neurologic disability with high incidence in many developed countries. Although the etiology of the disease remains elusive, it is thought to entail genetic and environmental causes, and microbial pathogens have also been envisioned as...

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...

Bennett, T. , Stevenson, D., Nelson, D., Bythell-Douglas, R., Graham, S. , Wong, G., Rothfels, C.
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...

Background Gene conversion causes a non-reciprocal transfer of genetic information between similar sequences. Gene conversion can both homogenize genes and recruit point mutations thereby shaping the evolution of multigene families. In the rice genome, the large number of duplicated genes...

Retroposition is widely found to play essential roles in origination of new mammalian and other animal genes. However, the scarcity of retrogenes in plants has led to the assumption that plant genomes rarely evolve new gene duplicates by retroposition, despite abundant retrotransposons in plants...
