Parallel imaging of Drosophila embryos for quantitative analysis of genetic perturbations of the Ras pathway

The Ras pathway patterns the poles of the Drosophila embryo by downregulating the levels and activity of a DNA-binding transcriptional repressor Capicua (Cic). We demonstrate that the spatiotemporal pattern of Cic during this signaling even...

AN INVESTIGATION OF LOCAL EFFECTS ON SURFACE WARMING WITH GEOGRAPHICALLY WEIGHTED REGRESSION (GWR)

Urban warming is sensitive to the nature (thermal properties, including albedo, water content, heat capacity and thermal conductivity) and the placement (surface geometry or urban topography) of urban surface. In the literature the spatial ...

Geographical research

This chapter discusses how geographical research can contribute methodologically to CAS. Spatial categories that are prominent in CAS, such as territorialisation or place, need to be related to other dynamics such as networks and scale. The...

Urban Geography

For the first time in the history of humankind, urban dwellers outnumber rural residents and this trend is destined to continue. Urban places, towns and cities are of fundamental importance: even those living beyond the administrative or fu...

Promoting Geography for Sustainability

The discipline of geography encompasses both natural and social sciences and has the natural advantage of enabling the study of sustainability from a transdisciplinary perspective. There are great opportunities for geographers to participat...

Urban Geography

Today, for the first time in the history of Humankind urban dwellers outnumber rural residents. Urban places, towns and cities, are of fundamental importance – for the distribution of population within countries; in the organization of econ...

Basic interests: the importance of groups in politics and in political science

A generation ago, scholars saw interest groups as the single most important element in the American political system. Today, political scientists are more likely to see groups as a marginal influence compared to institutions such as Congres...

Mapping Global Research Trends in FinTech Innovations and SME Dynamics: A Scientometric Analysis

This study sought to examine the evolution of financial technology (FinTech) and its huge influence on traditional financial systems, with particular attention to InsurTech, regulatory technology, robo-advisory services, and advertising tec...

The impact of corporate vision, customer orientation, and core values with experience as a moderator – insights from Vietnamese enterprises

Employee innovation capability is a vital driver of business development and competitive advantage in today's dynamic markets. This study examines the role of corporate culture—specifically corporate vision, core values, customer orientatio...

Immunoinformatics and Reverse Vaccinology Approach for the Identification of Potential Vaccine Candidates against <i>Vandammella animalimors</i>

Vandammella animalimorsus is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacterium typically transmitted to humans through direct contact with the saliva of infected animals, primarily through biting, scratches, or licks on fractured skin. The absence o...

The Impact of Employee Stock Ownership Plan on the Cost of Equity Capital: Evidence from China

Due to the immaturity of bond market and the defects of internal governance structure, Chinese-listed companies have a strong preference for equity financing. How to reduce the cost of equity capital is particularly important for Chinese-li...

The Impact of Fiscal Policy on Macroeconomic Conditions in Pakistan: Insights from a Structural Vector Autoregression Analysis

This article explores the relationship between fiscal policy and macroeconomic conditions in Pakistan using a robust Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model. Since fiscal shock has the tendency to put a constraint on the future path o...

Lyapunov analysis of data-driven models of high dimensional dynamics using reservoir computing: Lorenz-96 system and fluid flow

We computed the Lyapunov spectrum and finite-time Lyapunov exponents of a data-driven model constructed using reservoir computing. This analysis was performed for two dynamics that exhibit a highly dimensionally unstable structure. We focus...
