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...

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...

Iftikhar, R., Wang, X., Rahman, Habibur
Broadening the genetic base of the C genome of Brassica napus canola by use of B. oleracea is important. In this study, the prospect of developing B. napus canola lines from B. napus × B. oleracea var. alboglabra, botrytis, italica and capitata crosses and the effect of backcrossing the F1’s to...

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 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...

Background Insects constitute the vast majority of known species with their importance including biodiversity, agricultural, and human health concerns. It is likely that the successful adaptation of the Insecta clade depends on specific components in its proteome that give rise to specialized...

Operating a mobile photo radar enforcement program: A framework for site selection, resource allocation, scheduling, and evaluation
Download2019-11-07
Kim, A. M., Wang, X., El-Basyouny, K., Fu, Q.
This paper introduces a systematic, data-driven framework by which to operate a mobile photo radar enforcement (MPRE) program, consisting broadly of site choice, enforcement resource allocation and scheduling, and evaluation. The overall goal is provide a framework for operating an MPRE program...
