The personal safety burden for women taking public transport in Australia and implications for provision of equitable public transport by Julie A. King, Dominique A. Greer, Rae S.M. Danvers, Byron W. Keating

“…It is considered that public transport providers have an obligation to ensure that women are not disadvantaged by the personal safety burden observed in this research. It is recommended that public transport providers note the existing features that women find safer (e.g., well-lit environment, presence of trained staff) and seek to extend their provision; and investigate innovative means of maintaining and enhancing safety for women while pursing technological change.…”

Cloning and expression characterisation of LiDXS2 gene in Oriental Lily (Lilium 'Sorbonne') by Yu Jiaxuan, Wu Nana, Fu Ruyu, Xue Lili, Zhang Jinzhu, Dong Jie, Yang Tao, Fan Jinping

“…In different floral organ tissues, the expression level of LiDXS2 was significantly higher in petals than other tissues, and almost no expression was observed in anthers. In A. thaliana transformed by LiDXS2, the transgenic lines showed an increased plant height and early flowering phenotype, and the expression of volatile synthesis genes for key structures downstream of DXS in the MEP pathway was upregulated compared with controls. …”
