Genetic and epigenetic biomarkers in human biomonitoring: why needed and how can Oxford Nanopore sequencing contribute?

Frontiers in Public Health
Chemical risk assessment can benefit from integrating informative biomarkers in human biomonitoring (HBM). Beyond exposure biomarkers, effect biomarkers inform on biological reactions in the body, potentially leading to adverse effects, while ...

Evolution of spatiotemporal patterns in vegetation net primary productivity and the driving forces on the Loess Plateau

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
In this study, we determined whether changes in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) can be used to characterize the quality of terrestrial ecosystems, which is critical for global change and carbon balance. We first explored the spatial correlation

VideoGraph: Recognizing Minutes-Long Human Activities in Videos [PDF]

, 2019
Many human activities take minutes to unfold. To represent them, related works opt for statistical pooling, which neglects the temporal structure. Others opt for convolutional methods, as CNN and Non-Local. While successful in learning temporal concepts,

Why topology matters in predicting human activities [PDF]

Environment and Planning B Urban Analytics and City Science, 2018
Geographic space is better understood through the topological relationship of the underlying streets (note: entire streets rather than street segments), which enables us to see scaling or fractal or living structure of far more less-connected streets ...
