Passenger Satisfaction Analysis of an Urban Subway Based on Travel Behaviour Characteristics by Fuquan PAN, Shuai CHENG, Lixia ZHANG, Xiaoxia YANG, Jinshun YANG

“…The results show that there is no significant correlation among the satisfaction of subway passengers, the main means of transportation and the availability of private cars; the frequency of taking the subway is related to the satisfaction of subway passengers; and the purpose of travelling and the reasons for choosing the subway are significantly related to the satisfaction of subway passengers. …”

Using Genome-Wide SNP Discovery and Genotyping to Reveal the Main Source of Population Differentiation in Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) Oerst. in Chile by Rodrigo Hasbún, Jorge González, Carolina Iturra, Glenda Fuentes, Diego Alarcón, Eduardo Ruiz

“…Genotyping-by-Sequencing tools now allow studying thousands of SNP markers at reasonable prices in nonmodel species. We investigated more than 10 K SNP loci for signatures of local adaptation and showed that interrogation of genomic resources can identify shifts in genetic diversity and putative adaptive signals in this nonmodel woody species.…”

A content awareness module for predictive lossless image compression to achieve high throughput data sharing over the network storage by Asif Rajput, Jianqiang Li, Faheem Akhtar, Zahid Hussain Khand, Jason C Hung, Yan Pei, Anko Börner

“…Although various colour transformations have been introduced and investigated in the past two decades, the process of determining the best colour scheme in a reasonable time remains an open challenge. For instance, the overhead time (i.e. to determine a suitable colour transformation) of the traditional colour selector mechanism can take up to 50% of the actual compression time. …”

Differential Role of Adipose Tissues in Obesity and Related Metabolic and Vascular Complications by Almudena Gómez-Hernández, Nuria Beneit, Sabela Díaz-Castroverde, Óscar Escribano

“…Furthermore, an inverse relationship between body mass index and brown adipose tissue activity has been described. For these reasons, in recent years, in order to combat obesity and its related complications, as a complement to conventional treatments, a new insight is focusing on the role of the thermogenic function of brown and perivascular adipose tissues as a promising therapy in humans. …”

Review for the Reviewer’s Review Pathology of Book Review: « L’Histoire de la Littérature française du XIXe siècle », SAMT Publication, Institute of Humanities by roya letafati, Bita Moazzami

“…Regarding the book review of « L’Histoire de la Littérature française du XIXe siècle », written by Mrs Mitra Rayissi (PhD), from SAMT publications which appears to be more a bad derivative review than a book review, the authors of the book have decided to write this article intending to shed light on the improper critiques in academia with the purpose that eventually such critiques will be replaced with more scientifically written articles.In this paper, with precise focus on reasoning, the review of the critic is analyzed to depict how, considering the book’s limited number of readers and its medium, the comparison between this book and internationally acclaimed resource books which are published by international publishers cannot be a just comparison. …”
