As biological knowledge accumulates rapidly, gene networks encoding genomewide gene-gene interactions have been constructed. As an improvement over the standard mixture model that tests all the genes identically and independently distributed "a priori", Wei and co-workers have proposed modelling...

Electric load forecasting is a fundamental business process and well-established analytical problem in the utility industry. Due to various characteristics of electricity demand series and the business needs, electric load forecasting is a classical textbook example and popular application field...

Imbalance between fast-growing transport demand and limited network supply has resulted in severe congestion in many transport networks. Increasing network supply or reducing transport demand could mitigate congestion, but these remedies are usually associated with high implementation cost....

Based on data from geographical information system (GIS) and daily commuting origin destination (OD) matrices, we estimated the distribution of traffic flow in the San Francisco road network and studied Braess’s paradox in a large-scale transportation network with realistic travel demand. We...

Ho Chi Minh City faces significant and growing flood risk. Recent risk reduction efforts may be insufficient as climate and socio-economic conditions diverge from projections made when those efforts were initially planned. This study demonstrates how robust decision making can help Ho Chi Minh...

On a Virginia crop farm, alternative levels of information are evaluated for managing nitrogen applications based on soil properties and yield potential. Application of variable rates of nitrogen based on crop yield potential can increase profitability and reduce nitrogen pollution potential.

In this paper, authors analyze the influences of non-tradable share reform on cash dividends in Chinese listed companies and find that the distribution intensity of cash dividends has been weakened in listed companies after the non-tradable share reform. The research shows that the non-tradable...

The effects of cropland slope, distance to surface water, farmers' risk attitudes, and farmers' nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications on potential N delivery to streams and costs of reducing N delivery were evaluated for a representative Virginia peanut-cotton farm. Target MOTAD and generalized...
