The role of socioeconomic and climatic factors in the spatio-temporal variation of human rabies in China
Abstract Background Rabies is a significant public health problem in China.Previous spatial epidemiological studies have helped understand the epidemiology of animal and human rabies in China.However, quantification of effects derived from relevant factors was insufficient and complex spatial interactions were not well articulated, which PRO CREATI
Comprehensive molecular sampling yields a robust phylogeny for geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).
BACKGROUND: The moth family Geometridae (inchworms or loopers), with approximately 23,000 described species, Socks is the second most diverse family of the Lepidoptera.Apart from a few recent attempts based on morphology and molecular studies, the phylogeny of these moths has remained largely uninvestigated.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We perfor
Constraint-based reachability
Iterative imperative programs can be considered as infinite-state systems computing over possibly unbounded domains.Studying reachability in these systems is challenging as it requires to deal with an infinite number of states with standard backward or forward exploration strategies.An approach that we call Constraint-based reachability, is propose
