Spatial and Temporal Distribution Characteristics of Stone Age to Warring States Period Sites in Sichuan Province by Runxuan Qian, Di Hu, Jun Chang, Xuejiao Ma, Duo Bian

“…Regarding proximity to water, a substantial proportion of sites across all periods are located within a 1 km buffer zone, with approximately 50% during the Stone Age and Warring States period, and up to 70% during the Shang to Spring and Autumn periods, indicating a preference for areas close to water for settlement and production. In terms of slope, most sites across historical periods are located in areas with slopes below 15°, with the highest number of sites during the Shang to Spring and Autumn periods. …”

Preferential localization of human origins of DNA replication at the 5'-ends of expressed genes and at evolutionarily conserved DNA sequences. by Manuel S Valenzuela, Yidong Chen, Sean Davis, Fan Yang, Robert L Walker, Sven Bilke, John Lueders, Melvenia M Martin, Mirit I Aladjem, Pierre P Massion, Paul S Meltzer

“…<h4>Background</h4>Replication of mammalian genomes requires the activation of thousands of origins which are both spatially and temporally regulated by as yet unknown mechanisms. At the most fundamental level, our knowledge about the distribution pattern of origins in each of the chromosomes, among different cell types, and whether the physiological state of the cells alters this distribution is at present very limited.…”

Correlation of Resistance Levels of <i>Thrips flavus</i> and Morphological Structures of Spring Soybean Varieties in Northeast China by Yuxin Zhou, Xueting Cui, Tianhao Pei, Hui Wang, Ning Ding, Yu Gao

“…Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that, during the peak flowering stage, leaf width, trichome length, trichome density, SPAD value, and nitrogen content were key factors for evaluating resistance; meanwhile, during the podding stage, leaf length, SPAD value, nitrogen content, and leaf surface humidity made the most significant contributions. Field resistance screening using the number of <i>T. flavus</i> per meter of double rows, the average number of <i>T. flavus</i> per plant, and hierarchical cluster analysis yielded consistent results. …”
