Let there be light: Daylight saving time and road traffic collisions

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of daylight saving time (DST) on fatal road crashes in Australia. I exploit within year transitions to and from DST in a regression discontinuity in time framework. To examine the long run effect of the policy, I use trials of DST implemented in various states, and a DST extension due to the Sydney Olympics. Neither the transition to or out of DST, nor the long run effects of DST have an impact on fatalities on the road. However, there is evidence of reallocation of accidents over the day due to ambient light.

Machine Learning-Enabled Genome Mining and Bioactivity Prediction of Natural Products

“…These enable the conversion of complex molecular structures into meaningful numerical features that can be utilized in various computational analyses and predictive models. Early molecular representations, such as SMILES (simplified input line entry system), SMARTS (SMILES arbitrary target specification), Daylight sCIS, OpenEye Scientific Software, and InChI (international chemical identifier), were created to store and retrieve molecular information and identify shared molecular features or substructures from databases. Novel molecular representations, such as DeepSMILES and SELFIES, have emerged for practical use in ML tools.…”
