Kwok, "High-Throughput Genotyping Assay Approaches"

High-throughput genotyping approaches are being developed to meet the demands of pharmacogenomics, where numerous individuals are studied with thousands of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. All non-gel-based genotyping approaches achieve allelic discrimination by one of four mechanisms: allele-specific hybridisation, allele-specific primer extension, allele-specific oligonucleotide ...

Besov – Köthe Spaces and Applications Kwok -

We introduce and study the family of Besov–Köthe spaces which is a generalization of the Besov spaces, the Besov–Morrey spaces and the variable Besov spaces. As an application of the general results for the Besov–Köthe spaces, we identify a pre-dual of the Besov–Morrey space.

TerraClimate, a high-resolution global dataset of monthly climate and climatic water balance from 1958–2015

We present TerraClimate, a dataset of high-spatial resolution (1/24°, ~4-km) monthly climate and climatic water balance for global terrestrial surfaces from 1958-2015. TerraClimate uses climatically aided interpolation, combining high-spatial resolution climatological normals from the WorldClim dataset, with coarser resolution time varying (i.e., monthly) data from other sources to produce a mo...

The 1958 UNSCEAR report.

In the mid-1950s, concern was increasing about the possible effects from the radioactive fallout resulting from nuclear weapon testing. Various scientists from non-nuclear countries such as Sweden and Canada made their politicians aware of the potential hazards of fallout. This concern went up to the General Assembly of the United Nations, which took the unique step of appointing a scientific c...
