Functional structure of the natural enemy community of the fall armyworm, Spodo...
Wyckhuys, Kris A.G.; Akutse, Komivi S.; Amalin, Divina M.; Araj, Salah-Eddin; Barrera, Gloria; Joy B. Beltran, Marie; Ben Fekih, IbtissemEcosystem functions such as biological pest control are mediated by the richness and abundance of service providers i.e., biological control agents (BCAs), relative contributions of individual taxa and community structure. This is especially relevant in the native range of agricultural herbivores, where a speciose community of co-evolved BCAs can prevent them from attaining pest status. Here, we use a powerful ...
Potential and progress of studying mountain biodiversity by means of butterfly ...
Wang, Shuting; Girardello, Marco; Zhang, WeiMountains are rich in biodiversity, and butterflies are species-rich and have a good ecological and evolutionary research foundation. This review addresses the potential and progress of studying mountain biodiversity using butterflies as a model. We discuss the uniqueness of mountain ecosystems, factors influencing the distribution of mountain butterflies, representative genetic and evolutionary models in butte...
Epigenetic silencing of neurofilament genes promotes an aggressive phenotype in...
Calmon, Marilia Freitas; Jeschke, Jana; Zhang, Wei; Dhir, Mashaal; Siebenkäs, Cornelia; Herrera, Alexander; Tsai, Hsing-Chen; O’Hagan, Heather M.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:01:38Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01; National Institutes of Health; Neurofilament heavy polypeptide (NEFH) has recently been identified as a candidate DNA hypermethylated gene within the functional breast cancer hypermethylome. NEFH exists in a complex with neurofilament medium polypeptide (NEFM) and neurofilament light polypeptide (NEFL) ...
Off-line evaluation of indoor positioning systems in different scenarios: the e...
Potorti, Francesco; Torres-Sospedra, Joaquín; Quezada-Gaibor, Darwin; Jimenez, Antonio Ramon; Seco, Fernando; Perez-Navarro, Antoni; Ortiz, MiguelEvery year, for ten years now, the IPIN competition has aimed at evaluating real-world indoor localisation systems by testing them in a realistic environment, with realistic movement, using the EvAAL framework. The competition provided a unique overview of the state-of-the-art of systems, technologies, and methods for indoor positioning and navigation purposes. Through fair comparison of the performance achieve...
A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production
Dainese, Matteo; Martin, Emily A.; Aizen, Marcelo A.; Albrecht, Matthias; Bartomeus, Ignasi; Bommarco, Riccardo; Carvalheiro, Luísa GiganteHuman land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield-related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on high richness remains unclear. Using a global database from 89 studies (with 1475 locations), we partition the relative importance of species richness, abundance, and dominance for pollination; ...
Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in...
Brown, Peter; Tan, Aik-Choon; El-Esawi, Mohamed A.; Liehr, Thomas; Blanck, Oliver; Gladue, Douglas P.; Almeida, Gabriel M. F.; Cernava, TomislavMade available in DSpace on 2020-12-11T01:57:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-10-29; Griffith University Gowonda HPC Cluster; Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation; Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents tha...
Impact of Evidence-Based Stroke Care on Patient Outcomes: A Multilevel Analysis...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-07-02; National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia; Background-The uptake of proven stroke treatments varies widely. We aimed to determine the association of evidence-based processes of care for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and clinical outcome of patients who participated in the HEADPOST (Head Po...

An Experimental Study for Tracking Crowd in Smart Cities
Li, Kai; Yuen, Chan; Kanhere, Salil S.; Hu, Kun; Zhang, Wei; Jiang, Fan; Liu, XiangKnowledge about people density and mobility patterns is the key element toward efficient urban development in smart cities. The main challenges in large-scale people tracking are the recognition of people density in a specific area and tracking the people flow path. To address these challenges, we present SenseFlow, a lightweight people tracking system for smart cities. SenseFlow utilizes off-the-shelf sensors ...
Clinical profile of Parkinson's disease in the Gumei community of Minhang distr...
Liu, Kangyong; Gu, Zhaohua; Dong, Liang; Shen, Liwei; Sun, Yinyi; Zhang, Ting; Shi, Nan; Zhang, Qian; Zhang, Wei; Zhao, Meizhen; Sun, XiaojiangOBJECTIVE: We examined the demographic and clinical profiles of Parkinson's disease in Shanghai, China, to assist in disease management and provide comparative data on Parkinson's disease prevalence, phenotype, and progression among different regions and ethnic groups. METHODS: A door-to-door survey and follow-up clinical examinations identified 180 community-dwelling Han-Chinese Parkinson's disease patients (1...
