SANCTIONS AND TOURIST FLOWS: THE ROLES OF RELIGION AND GEOGRAPHY

Sanctions and tourist flows: The roles of religion and geography

This study explores whether different types of sanctions, such as arms, military, trade, finance, and travel sanctions, affect bilateral tourist flows from the sender to the sanctioned country.It also investigates the moderating roles of religious and geographical proximity on the underlying relationships.We use a panel gravity data set consisting

The role of SAGA in the transcription and export of mRNA

SAGA/TFTC, which is a histone acetyltransferase complex, plays an important role in the regulation of transcription.We have identified that the metazoan TFTC/STAGA complexes had histone H2A and H2B deubiquitinase activity that is carried out by a DUBm (deubiquitination module).We studied the DUBm of SAGA in Drosophila melanogaster and identified Dr

Modelling Growth Curves in a Nondescript Italian Chicken Breed: an Opportunity to Improve Genetic and Feeding Strategies

Growth, known as the relation between liveweight and age, is explained mathematically by functions that have parameters with biological meaning.These parameters are used to describe growth pattern over time and to estimate the expected weight of animals at specific ages.Animal growth generally follows a sigmoidal pattern and several nonlinear funct

A time series driven decomposed evolutionary optimization approach for reconstructing large-scale gene regulatory networks based on fuzzy cognitive maps

Abstract Background Other Sexual Health Products Reconstructing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from expression data plays an important role in understanding the fundamental cellular processes and revealing the underlying relations among genes.Although many algorithms have been proposed to reconstruct GRNs, more rapid and efficient methods which ca
