Dysregulation in patterns of alternative RNA splicing in cancer cells is emerging as a significant factor in cancer pathophysiology. In this study, we investigated the little known alternative splice isoform survivin-3B (S-3B) that is overexpressed in a tumor-specific manner. Ectopic overexpression of S-3B drove tumorigenesis by facilitating immune escape in a manner associated with resistance ...

The ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is a new heuristic algorithm that offers good robustness and searching ability. With in-depth exploration, the ACO algorithm exhibits slow convergence speed, and yields local optimization solutions. Based on analysis of the ACO algorithm and the genetic algorithm, we propose a novel hybrid genetic ant colony optimization (NHGAO) algorithm that integra...

This paper reviews and analyzes the current and future battery technologies suitable for transportation applications. The success of battery-enabled hybridization of gasoline and diesel power-trains in the past decade has clearly established it as the most credible alternative to the conventional propulsion systems. The current enthusiasm for electric vehicles further accentuates this success. ...

We found a broad absorption line (BAL) outflow in the VLT/UVES spectrum of quasar SDSS J235702.54-004824.0, which we identified four subcomponents. measured column densities ions one subcomponents ($v$ = -1600 km s$^{-1}$), include O I and Fe II. kinetic luminosity this component to be at most ~2.4% quasar's Eddington luminosity. This is near amount required contribute AGN feedback. also examin...
