Bacteria in Solitary Confinement
(2015-02) -
The bacterial enhancer-dependent RNA polymerase.
(2016-11-01)Transcription initiation is highly regulated in bacterial cells, allowing adaptive gene regulation in response to environment cues. One class of promoter specificity factor called sigma54 enables such adaptive gene expression ... -
Bacterial SBP56 identified as a Cu-dependent methanethiol oxidase widely distributed in the biosphere.
(2018-01)Oxidation of methanethiol (MT) is a significant step in the sulfur cycle. MT is an intermediate of metabolism of globally significant organosulfur compounds including dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and dimethylsulfide ... -
Balancing bandgap and charge transport in triple-cation perovskite for efficient indoor photovoltaics
(2024-01-01)The tunable bandgaps of metal halide perovskites lead to their promising application in indoor photovoltaics (IPVs). However, perovskites with wide bandgaps suitable for indoor light typically have lower conductivity and ... -
Bamboo-shaped pumpless platform for long-distance and lossless droplet transport
(2023-01-30)Controllable droplet manipulation is of great importance in the transport of liquid on various lab-on-a-chip devices. Droplet transport on the wettability surfaces has been widely developed, but it remains challenging to ... -
Band energy control of molybdenum oxide by surface hydration
(2015-12-07) -
A bat guano deposit in Jamaica recorded agricultural changes and metal exposure over the last >4300 years
(2020-01-15)© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Bats are excellent ecological indicators because they are long-lived, globally distributed, and show predictable responses to environmental stressors. Unaltered bat guano deposits, although rare, can ... -
A Bayesian approach to person perception
(2015-11-01)© 2015 Elsevier Inc. Here we propose a Bayesian approach to person perception, outlining the theoretical position and a methodological framework for testing the predictions experimentally. We use the term person perception ... -
Bayesian estimation of nonsynonymous/synonymous rate ratios for pairwise sequence comparisons.
(2014-07)The nonsynonymous/synonymous rate ratio (ω = d(N)/d(S)) is an important measure of the mode and strength of natural selection acting on nonsynonymous mutations in protein-coding genes. The simplest such analysis is the ... -
Bayesian estimation of species divergence times using correlated quantitative characters
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-02)Discrete morphological data have been widely used to study species evolution, but the use of quantitative (or continuous) morphological characters is less common. Here, we implement a Bayesian method to estimate species ... -
Bayesian Molecular Clock Dating Using Genome-Scale Datasets.
(2019)Bayesian methods for molecular clock dating of species divergences have been greatly developed during the past decade. Advantages of the methods include the use of relaxed-clock models to describe evolutionary rate variation ... -
Bayesian Network Analysis of Covid-19 data reveals higher Infection Prevalence Rates and lower Fatality Rates than widely reported
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2020-05-26)Widely reported statistics on Covid-19 across the globe fail to take account of both the uncertainty of the data and possible explanations for this uncertainty. In this paper we use a Bayesian Network (BN) model to estimate ...
