The bronze featherback (Notopterus notopterus) is an iconic species of freshwater fish commonly found in South-East Asia and of great commercial and patrimonial importance.At present, the genus Notopterus comprises of two distinct species, Notopterus notopterus (Pallas, 1769) and Notopterus synurus (Bloch & Schneider 1801).On the Indonesian arc
Differential contribution to gene expression prediction of histone modifications at enhancers or promoters.
The ChIP-seq signal of histone modifications at promoters is a good predictor of gene expression in different cellular contexts, but whether this is also true at enhancers is not clear.To address this issue, we develop quantitative models to characterize the relationship of gene expression with histone modifications at enhancers or promoters.We use
Tree Mortality following Prescribed Fire and a Storm Surge Event in Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa) Forests in the Florida Keys, USA
In fire-dependent forests, managers are interested in predicting the consequences of prescribed burning on postfire tree mortality.We examined the effects of prescribed fire on tree mortality in Florida Keys pine forests, using a factorial design with understory type, season, and year of burn as factors.We also used logistic regression to model the
Smart Blade Flutter Alleviation with Rotational Effect
The effect of using a piezoelectric material has been shown on postponing the flutter phenomenon on a regular blade with rotational effects in this paper.The system response of a smart blade with only flapwise and edgewise plunge and rotational DOFs showed that the oscillations of the smart blade can be Silica effectively decayed in a very short ti
