Published: November 2023

We advise a novel measure to determine the unknown number of clusters underlying a designated sample through implementation of the parametric logistic regression model. The regression analysis is carried out to estimate the probabilities of inclusion for every individual member from data, irrespective of its parent distribution, to each of the clusters under existence. The proposed one is shown to be superior to its well-known rivals by means of both synthetic and real-world data sets, while designed to significantly reduce the computational burden serving our desired purpose.

Draft genome dataset of strain R-35 isolated from tidal pool sediments.

Data Brief

February 2025

Applied Microbial and Health Biotechnology Institute, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, PO Box 1906, Bellville, Cape Town, 7530, South Africa.

The marine isolate, strain R-35, was isolated from marine sediments collected from the Glencairn Tidal Pool, Table Mountain National Park, Cape Town, South Africa. The genomic DNA was sequenced using the Ion Torrent GeneStudio™ S5 platform, and the assembly was performed using the SPAdes assembler on the Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC) Lengau Cluster located at the CSIR, Rosebank, South Africa. The draft genome assembly consisted of 722 contigs totaling 7,625,174 base pairs and a G+C% content of 72.

One way to fulfill the worldwide goal of clean energy outlined in SDG 7 is by adopting modern and alternative energy sources, specifically through electric cooking. Most rural households in developing countries, however, lack access to a clean and affordable energy source; thus, a significant part of the population relies on solid fuels. This study investigates the factors influencing households' willingness to pay for electricity services for cooking in rural areas of Southern Ethiopia, where access to clean and affordable energy is limited.

Purpose: Despite the concerning growth in the number of children with preventable or treatable causes of blindness, parents and/or children often do not notice many eye problems due to the lack of adequate knowledge about them. Considering the lack of updated relevant literature on this topic, this study aimed to gain insights into parental perspectives regarding children's eye health and the barriers that prevent them from promptly addressing these issues.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was randomly distributed to Saudi parents of children aged 0-18 years from February 2022 to April 2022.

Powdery mildew, caused by the fungus , is one of the primary causes of grape yield loss across the globe. While numerous resistance loci have been identified in various grapevine species, the genetic determinants of susceptibility to remain largely unexplored. Understanding the genetics of susceptibility for pathogenesis is equally important for developing durable resistance grapevines against this pathogen.
