Operational speed is an index that represents drivers’ speeding behaviors and shows the comfort and safety levels they experience. Many models had been proposed to predict operational speed in tangent and curve segments of highways. Most of these works had used geometric, with few of them conducted using roadside variables to predict operational speed. Also, the operational speed study in multi...

Context is a prominent theme in accounts of the semantics of vagueness. Contextual theories of vagueness have been motivated in part by a desire to disarm skeptical arguments that make use of vagueness; another motive is the hope that they might help to resolve the Sorites Paradox. This paper is intended as part of a larger project, which aims at describing and comparing the leading theories th...

July 25, 2017 – SAN DIEGO, CA and BETHESDA, MD – NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, has released the annotated genome assembly of the monk seal, Neomonachus schauinslandi. Bionano maps have been used to scaffold the majority of recent reference quality genomes. While these reference genomes involved costly sequencing technologies, the monk seal assembly was produced with a...
