Differential gene expression and gene variants drive color and pattern development in divergent color morphs of a mimetic poison frog
(2019-07-21)
Evolutionary biologists have long investigated the ecological contexts, evolutionary forces, and proximate mechanisms that produce the diversity of animal coloration we see in the natural world. In aposematic species, color ...
MELPF Version 1: Modeling Error Learning Based Post-Processor Framework for Hydrologic Models Accuracy Improvement
(2019-09-23)
This paper studies how to improve the accuracy of hydrologic models using machine-learning models as postprocessors and presents possibilities to reduce the workload to create an accurate hydrologic model by removing the ...
Imaging of morphological and biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis with optimized optogenetic tools
(2019-10-03)
Creation of optogenetic switches for specific activation of cell death pathways can provide insights into apoptosis and could also form a basis for noninvasive, next-generation therapeutic strategies. Previous work has ...
Life in a contaminant milieu: PPCP mixtures generate unpredictable outcomes across trophic levels and life stagest
(2019-12-05)
Nearly all aquatic ecosystems are affected by sublethal levels of anthropogenic chemical contamination, but other agents of large‐scale anthropogenic disruption of ecosystems have received more attention. Consequently, ...
Customer Reviews Analysis With Deep Neural Networks for E-Commerce Recommender Systems
(2019-08-26)
An essential prerequisite of an effective recommender system is providing helpful information
regarding users and items to generate high-quality recommendations. Written customer review is a rich
source of information ...
Construction of realistic hybrid computational fetal phantoms from radiological images in three gestational ages for radiation dosimetry applications
(2019-10-10)
Radiation exposure and associated radiation risks are major concerns for fetal development for
pregnant patients who undergo radiation therapy or diagnostic imaging procedures. In order to
accurately estimate the radiation ...
Developing high performance concrete for precast/prestressed concrete industry
(2019-12)
High performance concrete (HPC) is a new class of concrete that has superior characteristics compared to conventional concrete. Despite of its superior characteristics, HPC is not widely used in local and international ...
Circular Single-Stranded DNA Virus (Microviridae: Gokushovirinae: Jodiemicrovirus) Associated with the Pathobiome of the Flat-Back Mud Crab, Eurypanopeus depressus
(2019-11-21)
A single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) virus is presented from a metagenomic data set derived from Alphaproteobacteria-infected hepatopancreatic tissues of the crab Eurypanopeus depressus. The circular virus genome (4,768 bp) encodes ...
An endemic plant and the plant-insect visitor network of a dune ecosystem
(2019-04)
Network theory increasingly is used to quantify and evaluate mutualistic interactions, such as those among plants and their flower-visiting insects or pollinators. Some plant species have been shown to be important in ...
Measuring Workplace Discrimination among Sexual and Gender Minority Workers
(2019-11-01)
As inequities in health for sexual and gender minority (SGM; eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender [LGBT]) populations become increasingly well documented, it is important to investigate causes of inequities to ...
