Urban digital twin (UDT) technology can be used to digitize physical urban spaces.Previous UDT or smart city research reconstructed the three-dimensional topography of urban spaces, buildings, and facilities.They collected various multimodal sensor data from cities and monitored conditions such as temperature, humidity, fine dust, and real-time roa
Identification and characterization of a Mef2 transcriptional activator in schistosome parasites.
Myocyte enhancer factor 2 protein (Mef2) is an evolutionarily conserved activator of transcription that is critical to induce and control complex processes in myogenesis and neurogenesis in vertebrates and insects, and osteogenesis in vertebrates.In Drosophila, Mef2 null mutants are unable to produce differentiated muscle cells, and in vertebrates,
A Bayesian approach to time-varying latent strengths in pairwise comparisons.
The famous Bradley-Terry model for pairwise comparisons is widely used for ranking objects and is often applied to sports data.In this paper we extend the Bradley-Terry model by allowing time-varying latent strengths of compared objects.The time component is modelled with barycentric rational interpolation and Gun Grease Gaussian processes.We also
