The role of cis-acting elements in regulating 3D structure and gene expression by Stolper, R

“…This all enhancer knockout model provides a “blank” slate that will be valuable resource for re-building the enhancers and establishing the precise role of each element and their combinations in the future. …”

The unwritten mind: an alternative history of Greek and Roman rhetoric by Bowles, H

“…As substrate of consciousness: these innate response patterns work diachronically—or in acculturation—to make the mind writable: through them, the discourse that the subject hears and sees sticks to the blank slate. Like meaning, consciousness itself is determined by the interplay between inborn pattern and exogenous discourse. …”

Remediation and mitigation strategies for rock fall hazards along the highways of Fayfa Mountain, Jazan Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by Maerz, Norbert H., Youssef, Ahmed M., Pradhan, Biswajeet, Bulkhi, Ali

“…The mountain consists mainly of a weathered and/or fractured syenite core draped with slate, phylitic, and amphibolite rocks around the lower periphery of the mountain. …”

Terrestrial gamma radiation dose study to determine the baseline for environmental radiological health practices in Melaka state, Malaysia by Ramli, Ahmad Termizi, Sahrone, S, Wagiran, Husin

“…The lower value arises from the fact that most of the population lives in the central area of the state where the lithology is dominated by sedimentary rocks consisting of shale, mudstone, phyllite, slate, hornfels, sandstone and schist of Devonian origin which have lower associated dose rates. …”

Geochemistry, S and Sr isotopes and origin of the Shahneshin barite deposit, NW Kurdistan Province, Iran by Hadi Amin-Rasouli, Mehdi Moradi, Zahra Sadat Baleshabadi

“…The study area mainly consists of Mesozoic succession dominated by the dacite tuff, andesitic-basaltic lava and pillow lava (Kv: the host rock), black slate and phyllite (Kss: Sanandaj Shale), dolomitic limestone with intercalation of sandstone (Kl), and black shale and slate (Ks: Sanandaj Shale). …”

A Novel Hybrid Recommender System for the Tourism Domain by Georgios Chalkiadakis, Ioannis Ziogas, Michail Koutsmanis, Errikos Streviniotis, Costas Panagiotakis, Harris Papadakis

“…Specifically, when comparing the performance of several <i>hybrid</i> recommender system variants, we are able to come up with a “winner”: the most preferable variant of our <i>hybrid</i> recommender algorithm is one using a ⟨four <i>elicitation slates</i>, six <i>shown images per slate</i>⟩ pair as input to its Bayesian elicitation component. …”

Understanding the Susceptibility of the Tropical Proglacial Environment in Peru Using Optical Imagery and Radon Measurements by Diego Antonio García-Tadeo, Modesto Montoya-Zavaleta, Yumin Tan

“…It is also helpful for lithology with <i>SWIR</i> for granite moraine deposits and slate moraines in the proglacial environment Palcacocha; these deposits surround the proglacial lake, with <i>NDWI_ice</i> determining the perimeter where sediment interacts with the rocks and meltwater. …”

Development Characteristics and Rapid Evaluation of High-steep Unstable Rock in Ya’an—Changdu Section of Sichuan—Tibet Railway by Guangze ZHANG, Guoqing CHEN, Zhewei WANG, Dong WANG, Bencan PEI

“…The deep canyon areas such as Dadu River, Yalong River and Jinsha River were the most densely developed. 2) The unstable rock was mainly developed in the freeze-thaw weathered Triassic sand-slate interbedded phyllite section above 3 000 m, accompanying with low stability; 3) The distribution of unstable rock was also related to the high seismic intensity area and active fault. …”

Deformation Mechanism and Stability Control of Roadway Surrounding Rock with Compound Roof: Research and Applications by Yang Yu, Xiangyu Wang, Jianbiao Bai, Lianying Zhang, Hongchun Xia

“…In view of problems with roadways with a compound roof, such as the occurrence of instability in the roof strata, ease of separation of the layer caving, difficulty of maintenance, and poor safety, we established a mechanical calculation model of a roadway with compound roof using the elastic mechanics theory, taking the stability control of a roadway with compound roof at a coal mine in Guizhou Province, China as the research background, and based on the actual characteristics of the coal seam and the roof and floor slate. Expressions of the separation layer and instability limit load of compound roof were derived, and the calculation and verification were carried out in combination with the actual conditions. …”

Multi-vector Energy Systems Analysis for Heavy-duty Transportation Deep Decarbonization Using H₂ and Synthetic Fuels by Shaker, Youssef H.

“…Our analysis relies on soft-linking two modeling approaches: a) a bottom-up model of transportation energy demand that produces a variety of final energy demand scenarios for the same service demand and b) a multi-sectoral capacity expansion model, DOLPHYN, that co-optimizes power, H₂ and CO₂ supply chains subject to a variety of technological and policy constraints to meet the exogeneous final energy demand slate. Through a case study of Western European countries under deep decarbonization constraints for the year 2040, we quantify the energy system implications of varying levels of H₂ and synthetic fuels adoption in HDVs, under scenarios with and without CO₂ sequestration capacity availability. …”
