Vulnerability modeling, assessment, and improvement in urban metro systems: a probabilistic system dynamics approach by Chen, Hongyu, Chen, Bin, Zhang, Limao, Li, Hong Xian

“…The urban metro system is a complex system that is vulnerable to various kinds of hazards and subjected to dynamics, where errors in any part are very likely to cause system failures and accidents. A better understanding of evolutional dynamics of the system vulnerability over time enables to ensure the safety and security in its operation and provide guidance for long-term operation and maintenance for the metro system. …”

Characterization and gene expression analysis of the cir multi-gene family of plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi (AS) by Lawton, Jennifer, Brugat, Thibaut, Yan, Yam Xue, Reid, Adam James, Böhme, Ulrike, Otto, Thomas Dan, Pain, Arnab, Jackson, Andrew, Berriman, Matthew, Cunningham, Deirdre, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Langhorne, Jean

“…Conclusions: In conclusion, the large number of cir genes and their expression throughout the intraerythrocytic cycle of development indicates that CIR proteins are likely to be important for parasite survival. In particular, the detection of dominant cir transcripts at the peak of P. chabaudi infection supports the idea that CIR proteins are expressed, and could perform important functions in the biology of this parasite. …”
