Multiscale synergistic effects of urban green space morphology on heat-pollution: A case study of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, China

Urban heat island and air pollution issues caused by ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM2.5) pose serious threats to the public health.The synergistic impact of urban green space (UGS) on both seasonal heat and air pollution (heat-pollution) from a multiscale perspective remains a scientific challenge.Land surface temperature (LST), O3 and Medica

Linking chemical and disease entities to ontologies by integrating PageRank with extracted relations from literature

Abstract Background Named Entity Linking systems are a powerful aid to the manual curation of digital libraries, which is getting increasingly costly and inefficient due to the information overload.Models based on the Personalized PageRank (PPR) algorithm are one of the state-of-the-art approaches, MUSHROOM BOUILLON but these have low performance w

State Equations in Stochastic Process Algebra Models

State equations are usually used for structural or qualitative analysis, such as Kimberwick deadlock checking, in P/T systems.In this paper, we instead consider timed state equations in stochastic process algebra models, to derive quantified dynamic information on the system modeled in the face of the state space explosion problem.The average of th

Modeling the Probability of Overlap Between Marine Fish Distributions and Marine Renewable Energy Infrastructure Using Acoustic Telemetry Data

Understanding the spatiotemporal distributions of migratory marine species at marine renewable energy sites is a crucial step towards assessing the potential impacts of tidal stream turbines and related infrastructure upon these species.However, the dynamic marine conditions that make tidal channels attractive for marine renewable power development

Polycomb-Mediated Repression and Sonic Hedgehog Signaling Interact to Regulate Merkel Cell Specification during Skin Development.

An increasing amount of evidence indicates that developmental programs are tightly regulated by the complex interplay between signaling pathways, as well as transcriptional and epigenetic processes.Here, we have uncovered coordination between transcriptional and morphogen cues to specify Merkel cells, poorly understood skin cells that mediate light
