Forest fires are major disturbances in forest ecosystems. The rapid detection of the spatial and temporal characteristics is essential for formulating targeted post-fire vegetation restoration measures assessing fire-induced carbon emissions. We propose an accurate efficient framework extracting spatiotemporal using change tracker (VCT) products Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. VCT was used ...

The acronym MOIRA stands for “A Model-Based Computerised System For Management Support To Identify Optimal Remedial Strategies For Restoring Radionuclide Contaminated Aquatic Ecosystems And Drainage Areas” (EC projects MOIRA, COMETES, EVANET-HYDRA). MOIRA system is an integrated friendly tool for the users with different level of responsibility in decision-making and different experience in com...

The Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type I (CNSI) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Ugt1a1 gene. It is characterized by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia that may result in severe neurologic damage and death if untreated. To date, liver transplantation is the only curative treatment. With the aim of generating mutant cell lines of the Ugt1 gene, we utilized the TALEN technology to int...

DNA polymerase II purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of greater than 200, 80, 34, 30 and 29 kDa, the two largest of which (subunits A and B) are encoded by the essential genes POL2 and DPB2. By probing a lambda gt11 expression library of yeast DNA with antiserum against DNA polymerase II, we isolated a single gene, DPB3, that encodes both...

Percocypris pingi is a near threatened cyprinid species, which has suffered a dramatic decline due to anthropogenic factors. As one response to this decline, hatchery release for P. pingi has been conducted in the lower reaches of the Yalong River since 2012. To understand the conservation status of this species and the potential impact of the release of hatchery-reared fish, we studied the gen...
