In the CTTC model, passive cooling of the street by solar heating attenuation is governed mainly by the street orientation and its geometry as measured by the aspect ratio of flanking buildings height to street width.
Indeed, we found an extended version of the CTTC element (sequence GACTTGTTC) in all promoters of 14 VAPYRIN genes from various monocots and dicots, indicating that it is of a wider significance for AM-related gene regulation (data not shown).
In contrast to the Myc1 and Myc2 elements, and to the GCCGGC element, the CTTC element was not overrepresented in promoters identified by Task4, and only moderately in the AM-induced genes, when its original sequence was considered (CTTGTTC) (Additional file 16: Table S7).
The study was done by the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists Collaborationn (CTTC), which was set up in 1994 by Oxford University's clinical trials service unit, co-directed by Professor Sir Rory Collins, to answer questions about this type of drug.
The analysis shows that both versions of the CTTC model give similar predictions in stable meso-climatic conditions, but the Elnahas Williamson version is clearly superior in changing weather.
The paper responds to a recent article by Shashua-Bar et al. that asserted that the modification proposed by Elnahas and Williamson to the original formulation of the "cluster thermal time constant" (CTTC) model for predicting air temperature in the urban canopy layer causes serious errors in predictions.
The elements Myc1 and Myc2, the GCCGGC element, and the CTTC element were selected for further statistical analysis in the genome of M. truncatula.
In this study, the cooling effect of trees is quantified, using the analytical "Green CTTC model" developed recently by the authors.
The revised CTTC model is proposed as the basis for a tool to account for urban modification to air temperature in the simulation and design of HVAC systems in buildings.
