The Emerging Logic Of Prolonged And Indeterminate War
An increasing number of contemporary conflicts appear to resist decisive resolution under specific structural conditions. This argument does not suggest that all wars follow the same trajectory. Rather, it identifies specific structural configurations under which decisive outcome...

Using Lattice-Based Structures to Enhance Collision Safety between Humans and Fixed-Wing UAVs
Abstract The increasing potential of accidents caused by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over recent years has imposed a new demand to enhance safety. Although many control algorithms exist to avoid collision, these methods have a dependence on electronic devices detecting a pote...

A population-specific genomic reference panel for Taiwan: NHRI-RP-1
Abstract Background To enhance the efficiency of identifying rare variants within the Taiwanese population and to support genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and imputation studies for genetic risk prediction in the Han population, we have developed the National Health Researc...

Cytosine-RichDNA Aptamers Reveal Recognition Principlesfor Structurally Diverse Lipopolysaccharides
Abstract Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are structurally heterogeneous glycolipids whose variable composition and supramolecular organization challenge the design of analytical recognition elements. Here, independent magnetic bead-based SELEX against four LPS preparations yielded thre...

Sexual mutation of Fusarium graminearum
The origin of genetic variation in the homothallic fungus Fusarium graminearum is unclear. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing of its selfed progeny and demonstrated that self-fertilization is intrinsically mutagenic.
