Annals of GIS, 18(3), 225–240.

By: M. Porter & B. Reich n

TL;DR: Results of applying the methodology to identify the optimal parameters and test the performance of temporally weighted kernel density estimation models for predicting the next event in a criminal or terrorist event series indicate that performance can vary greatly by crime type and little by series length and is fairly robust to choice of bandwidth.

In Insect Endocrinology (pp. 523–567).

By: G. Blomquist*, R. Jurenka*, C. Schal n & C. Tittiger*

TL;DR: There is much better understanding of how pheromones are made, and in some systems the authors are developing an understanding of their regulation at the molecular level, and the continued application of the powerful tools of molecular biology along with studies using genomics and proteomics will only increase the rate at which researchers increase the understanding of phersomone production.

Soft microenvironments promote the early neurogenic differentiation but not self-renewal of human pluripotent stem cells
