Integration of LoRa IoT with cloud platform in stingless beehive remote monitoring system by Ahmad, Yasser Arul, Nurul Salshabila, Mustapa, Anis Hannani, Razaman, Muhammad Nasrin Aqil, Abdul Hamid, Noreha, Abdul Malik, Mohd Faizal, Jamlos

“…However, using Wi-Fi for bee monitoring requires that the stingless bee hives be located near buildings with Wi-Fi access. To address this issue, a prototype of a remote monitoring system for a stingless bee colony was developed using Long Range (LoRa) technologies due to the low data rate, low power, and operability in an outdoor environment. …”

Depletion of lamins B1 and B2 promotes chromatin mobility and induces differential gene expression by a mesoscale-motion-dependent mechanism by Pujadas Liwag, Emily M., Wei, Xiaolong, Acosta, Nicolas, Carter, Lucas M., Yang, Jiekun, Almassalha, Luay M., Jain, Surbhi, Daneshkhah, Ali, Rao, Suhas S. P., Seker-Polat, Fidan, MacQuarrie, Kyle L., Ibarra, Joe, Agrawal, Vasundhara, Aiden, Erez Lieberman, Kanemaki, Masato T., Backman, Vadim, Adli, Mazhar

“…Lamin B1 and lamin B2 depletion minimally alters higher-order chromatin folding but disrupts cell morphology, significantly increases chromatin mobility, redistributes both constitutive and facultative heterochromatin, and induces differential gene expression both within and near lamin-associated domain (LAD) boundaries. Critically, we demonstrate that chromatin territories expand as upregulated genes within LADs radially shift inwards. …”

Doodles and Blobs on a Ruled Page: Convex Quasi-envelops of Traversing Flows on Surfaces by Katz, Gabriel

“…In the case of oriented doodles on $$A= {\mathbb {R}} \times I$$ A = R × I , our computations of 2-moderate immersion bordisms $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) are near complete: we show that they can be described by an exact sequence of abelian groups $$\begin{aligned} 0 \rightarrow {\textbf{K}} \rightarrow \textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)\big /\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) {\mathop {\longrightarrow }\limits ^{{\mathcal {I}} \rho }} {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}} \rightarrow 0, \end{aligned}$$ 0 → K → OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) / OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ⟶ I ρ Z × Z → 0 , where $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) \approx {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}}$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ≈ Z × Z , the epimorphism $${\mathcal {I}} \rho $$ I ρ counts different types of crossings of immersed doodles, and the kernel $${\textbf{K}}$$ K contains the group $$({\mathbb {Z}})^\infty $$ ( Z ) ∞ whose generators are described explicitly.…”

Ex Post Path Choice Estimation for Urban Rail Systems Using Smart Card Data: An Aggregated Time-Space Hypernetwork Approach by Mo, Baichuan, Ma, Zhenliang, Koutsopoulos, Haris N, Zhao, Jinhua

“…By incorporating a schedule-based dynamic transit network loading (SDTNL) model, the framework captures the crowding correlation among stations and the interaction between the path choice and passenger left behind, which is important for the path choice estimation in a “near-capacity” operated urban rail system. The path choice estimation is formulated as an optimization problem, which aims to minimize the difference between the model-derived and observed information with path choice parameters as decision variables. …”
