Conventionally, pairwise relationships between nodes are considered to be the fundamental building blocks of complex networks. However, over the last decade, the overabundance of certain subnetwork patterns, i.e., the so-called motifs, has attracted much attention. It has been hypothesized that these motifs, instead of links, serve as the building blocks of network structures. Although the rela...

The northern terrestrial net ecosystem carbon bal­ ance (NECB) is contingent on inpnts from vegetation gross primary prodnctivity (GPP) to offset the ecosystem respi­ ration (Reco) of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and methane (CH4 ) emissions, bnt an effective framework to monitor the re­ gional Arctic NECB is lacking. We modified a terrestrial car­ bon llnx (TCF) model developed for satellite remote s...

Magnetostrictive transducers are commonly used as actuators and sonar transducers, in remote non-destructive evaluation. Their use wireless thermometry is relatively unexplored. Since magnetostriction-based sensors passive, they could potentially enable long-term near-field thermometry. While the temperature sensitivity of resonance frequency magnetostrictive has been reported previous studies,...

Most collaborative filtering (CF) models estimate missing ratings with an implicit assumption that the are missing-at-random, which may cause biased rating estimation and degraded performance since recent deep exploration shows likely be missing-not-at-random (MNAR). To debias MNAR estimation, we introduce item observability user selection to depict generation of propose a tripartite CF (TCF) f...

Survival of CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive (DP) thymocytes plays a critical role in shaping the peripheral T cell repertoire. However, the mechanisms responsible for the regulation of DP thymocyte lifespan remain poorly understood. In this work, we demonstrate that T cell factor (TCF)-1 regulates DP thymocyte survival by upregulating RORγt. Microarray analysis revealed that RORγt was significantl...

The effect of test on teachers, students, and their classroom behaviors has ever been amenable to scholarly studies. To explore such an effect, 20 professors offering MA TEFL preparation courses and 30 candidates received PLSP and APALS inventories. Paired-sample t-tests revealed significant differences. However, the respective componential multivariate ANOVA revealed non-significant and signif...

This article addresses the problem of redundancy and reliability allocation in the operational dimensioning of an automated production system. The aim of this research is to improve the global reliability of the system by allocating alternative components (redundancies) that are associated in parallel with each original component. By considering a complex componential approach that simultaneous...

Members of the Ly-49 gene family code for class I MHC-specific receptors that regulate NK cell function. Due to a combinatorial distribution of Ly-49 receptors, NK cells display considerable clonal heterogeneity. The acquisition of one Ly-49 receptor, Ly-49A is strictly dependent on the transcriptional trans-acting factor T cell-specific factor-1 (TCF-1). Indeed, TCF-1 binds to two sites in the...

CD3-epsilon gene expression is confined to the T cell lineage. We have recently identified and cloned a human transcription factor, TCF-1, that binds to a functional element in the T lymphocyte-specific enhancer of CD3-epsilon. In a panel of human cell lines, TCF-1 expression was restricted to T lineage cells. TCF-1 belonged to a novel family of genes that contain the so-called high mobility gr...
