Caspase-3 (CASP3) plays a central role in executing cell apoptosis and thus in carcinogenesis. We previously investigated the relationship between functional polymorphisms in CAPS3 829 A>C and 20541 C>T and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However little is known about the role of CASP3 variants in susceptibility to lung cancer. To figure out the contribution of CASP3 polymorphisms t...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with absolute structures are of particular interest as the asymmetry their crystal enables wide applications from asymmetric catalysis to enantioselective separation. Previous reports on synthetic strategies toward MOFs always required use chiral precursors or templates, however, it is not easy obtain enantiopure starting materials. Here in, we report a new non-c...

This lecture is about different techniques used for video streaming to improve performance and Quality of Experience (QoE). Specifically, we learned about ”neural adaptive video streaming with Pensieve” [1]. Pensieve adaptively selects bitrates (ABR) for future video chunks based on observations collected by client video players. It automatically learns ABR algorithms that adapt to a wide range...
