Clustering Vehicle Temporal and Spatial Travel Behavior Using License Plate Recognition Data by Huiyu Chen, Chao Yang, Xiangdong Xu

“…Firstly, several travel characteristics related to temporal and spatial variability and activity patterns are used to identify homogeneous clusters. Then, Davies-Bouldin index (DBI) and Silhouette Coefficient (SC) are applied to capture the optimal number of groups and, consequently, six groups are classified in weekdays and three groups are sorted in weekends, including commuting vehicles and some other occasional leisure travel vehicles. …”

Clot Formation in the Sipunculid Worm Themiste petricola: A Haemostatic and Immune Cellular Response by Tomás Lombardo, Guillermo A. Blanco

“…The mass with sealing properties is brought about by homotypic aggregation of granular leukocytes present in the coelomic fluid that undergo a rapid process of fusion and cell death forming a homogenous clot or mass. The clot structure appears to be stabilized by abundant F-actin that creates a fibrous scaffold retaining cell-derived components. …”

PEROVSKITE FROM SPURRITE-MERWINITE MARBLES OF THE KOCHUMDEK CONTACT AUREOLE: APPLICATION TO U-Pb DATING OF A THERMAL EVENT by A.S. Deviatiiarova, E.V. Sokol, S.N. Kokh, E.N. Nigmatulina

“…Perovskite is a dominant accessory mineral of U- and Th-poor marbles, which formed at the contact with traps of the Kuz’movsky complex (southwestern margin of the Tunguska Syneclise). The chemically homogeneous perovskite is characterized by limited substitutions: Ti4+ → Zr4+ (up to 2.5 mol. % CaZrO3 ) and Ca2+Ti4+ → REE3+Fe3+ (up to 1.8 mol. % REEFeO3 ). …”

Combinatorial co-expression of xanthine dehydrogenase and chaperone XdhC from Acinetobacter baumannii and Rhodobacter capsulatus and their applications in decreasing purine content... by Chenghua Wang, Ran Zhang, Yu Sun, You Wen, Xiaoling Liu, Xinhui Xing

“…Naturally occurring xdhABC gene clusters of A. baumannii CICC 10254 and R. capsulatus CGMCC 1.3366 as well as two refactored clusters constructed by exchanging their xdhC genes were overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to near homogeneity. RcXDH chaperoned by AbXdhC showed nearly the same catalytic performance as that by RcXdhC, except for the decreased substrate affinity. …”
