Abstract: A computer system for analyzing and mitigating risks associated with a building is provided. The computer system is configured to: (i) receive environment data from the at least one sensor; (ii) receive building data from the at least one database; (iii) utilize a trained machine learning model to determine at least one potential risk associated with the building based upon the environment data and the building data; (iv) generate a building risk profile that includes the at least one potential risk associated with the building; and/or (v) generate a risk mitigation output based upon at least one of the building risk profile and the at least one potential risk, wherein the risk mitigation output includes at least one of a risk alert, a risk mitigation recommendation, and risk mitigation instructions. Computer systems for analyzing and mitigation risks associated with a city, a user, and an event are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of nucleotide sequences in a plant. The compositions are novel nucleic acid sequences which confer cellular division and/or proliferation-preferred regulation of operably attached nucleotide sequences. Methods for expressing an isolated nucleotide sequence in a plant using the regulatory sequences, expression cassettes, vectors and resultant plants are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of isolated nucleotide sequences in a plant. The compositions are novel nucleic acid sequences for regulatory elements providing expression preferentially in the inflorescence meristem and developing floral tissues. Methods for expressing an isolated nucleotide sequence in a plant using the regulatory sequences are also provided, as well as expression constructs, vectors, and transformed cells and plants.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for selectively controlling the transcription of a gene of interest, comprising producing one or more plants that express either a first, a second, or both the first and second genetic constructs. The first genetic construct comprises a first regulatory region operatively linked to a gene of interest and at least one repressor sequence capable of controlling the activity of the first regulatory region. The second genetic construct comprises a second regulatory region in operative association with a nucleic acid molecule, or a derivative thereof, encoding a repressor protein, the repressor protein exhibiting both repressor operator sequence binding activity and repressor activity.
