Endovascular methods have been increasingly applied in treating cervicocranial artery dissection (CCAD). Anti-thrombotic therapy, which is used in non-interventional care of CCAD patients, has differential effects in East Asian patients. Therefore, we aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of endovascular versus non-interventional therapy for CCAD in East Asians and non-East Asians. A search wa...

Drosophila EAST protein associates with an interior nonchromosomal compartment of the interphase nucleus. Because overexpression of east can dramatically alter nuclear architecture we investigated a potential role for EAST in changing chromosome organization during the cell cycle. Following nuclear envelope breakdown, EAST remains enriched in the mitotic remnant of the interphase nucleus until ...

A short-wave train emanating from the Southeast Asian tropics which links interannual variations of the winter climate systems in both East Asia and North America was identified recently. This shortwave train may affect the activity of cold-surge disturbances over the eastern seaboard of East Asia, and the northwestern Pacific. The interaction between cold surges and the planetary-scale winter ...

The problem of wind turbine control has received significant attentions in recent years. The maximization of energy generation and load reduction are two major objectives for the control of wind turbine systems. Varieties of approaches have been proposed to achieve the above two objectives. Specifically, indirect speed control (ISC) and PID control have been widely used for the energy maximizat...

The emergence of East Asian regionalism is arguably one of the most important developments in the international relations of Asia. The trend began in 1997, when the region was hit by a massive economic crisis. The crisis undermined the credibility of regional institutions that were developed within a sub-regional or Asia-Pacific basis, namely the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), ...

Last November I visited Japan for the first time and was lucky enough to visit individual labs at four different universities. As I talked with my hosts and their students I was struck by the differences between the scientific cultures of Japan and the United States. At its best, American science is all about the triumph of excellence in the land of opportunity, with 27-year-old assistant profe...
