BAYESIAN PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF INFLUENZA A/H3N2 FOR THE 2014-15 SEASON IN THE UNITED STATES USING THREE FRAMEWORKS OF ANCESTRAL STATE RECONSTRUCTION.

Bayesian phylogeography of influenza A/H3N2 for the 2014-15 season in the United States using three frameworks of ancestral state reconstruction.

Ancestral state reconstructions in Bayesian phylogeography of virus pandemics have been improved by utilizing a Bayesian stochastic search variable selection (BSSVS) framework.Recently, this framework has been extended to model the transition rate matrix between discrete states as a generalized linear model (GLM) of genetic, geographic, demographic

Image Spectral Resolution Enhancement for Mapping Native Plant Species in a Typical Area of the Three-River Headwaters Region, China

Large-scale multispectral remote sensing data are often unavailable for some practical applications.Spectral resolution enhancement for large-scale multispectral remote sensing images by incorporating small-scale hyperspectral remote sensing images is an alternative way to generate remote sensing images with both large spatial range and high spectr

Unsupervised Video Shot Detection Using Clustering Ensemble with a Color Global Scale-Invariant Feature Transform Descriptor

Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) transforms a grayscale image into scale-invariant coordinates of local features that are invariant to image scale, rotation, and changing viewpoints.Because of its scale-invariant properties, SIFT has been successfully used for object recognition and content-based image retrieval.The biggest drawback of SIFT

Genome-wide identification of TCP transcription factors and their potential roles in hydrolyzable tannin production in Quercus variabilis cupule

Hydrolyzable tannins (HTs) have garnered significant attention due to their proven beneficial effects in the clinical treatment of various diseases.The cupule of Chinese cork oak (Quercus variabilis Blume) has been used as Acrylic Flower Vase raw material of traditional medicine for centuries for its high content of HTs.Previous studies have identi

Management of Recurrent Retroperitoneal Sarcoma

Recurrence after resection of retroperitoneal sarcoma is common and varies by histological subtype.Pattern of recurrence is similarly affected by histology (e.g., well-differentiated liposarcoma is more likely to recur locoregionally, whereas leiomyosarcoma is more likely to develop distant metastases).Radiotherapy Horse Saddles may provide effecti
