Understanding the global knowledge dynamics of renewable energy technologies requires consideration both technological and geographical dimensions. This paper assesses relative importance distant in future development innovation systems (TIS) renewables. Using patents, we quantify absorptive capacity countries as degree accumulation diffusion between domestic actors a TIS. Our results show that...

BACKGROUND Many medical schools use admissions Multiple Mini-Interviews (MMIs) rather than traditional interviews (TIs), partly because MMIs are thought to be more reliable. Yet prior studies examined single-school samples of candidates completing either an MMI or TI (not both). Using data from five California public medical schools, the authors examined the within- and between-school reliabili...

The present study aimed to explore whether culture method had an influence on DNA methylation in colorectal cancer (CRC). In the present study, CRC cells were cultured in two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D) and mouse orthotopic transplantation (Tis) cultures. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for global visualization of the three samples. A Venn diagram was applied for inters...

A multiresolution technique for biomedical image interpolation is presented in this paper. It is an extension of the work on Directional Coherence Interpolation (DCI) [15] – a novel gray-level image interpolation method that interpolates the missing image data along the smoothed Maximum Coherence Directions (MCDs). We propose to apply a pyramidal search strategy for MCD estimation. This coarse-...

Single-chip digital cameras use a color filter array and subsequent interpolation strategy to produce full-color images. While the design of the interpolation algorithm can be grounded in traditional sampling theory, the fact that the sampled data is distributed among three different color planes adds a level of complexity. Existing interpolation methods are usually derived from general numeric...

In sharp contrast to classical proof complexity we are currently short of lower bound techniques for QBF proof systems. In this paper we establish the feasible interpolation technique for all resolution-based QBF systems, whether modelling CDCL or expansion-based solving. This both provides the first general lower bound method for QBF proof systems as well as largely extends the scope of classi...

In pathway-targeted cancer drug therapies, the relatively rapid emergence of drug-tolerant persisters (DTPs) substantially limits the overall therapeutic benefit. However, little is known about the roles of DTPs in drug resistance. In this study, we investigated the features of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced DTPs and explored a new treatment strategy to overc...

Agastache aurantiaca ‘Sunset Yellow’ and A. mexicana ‘Sangria’ are aromatic plants with edible flowers characterized good flavors, nutritional values pleasant aromas. The aim of this study was to establish a successful protocol ensure fast shoot propagation, rooting in vivo acclimatization obtain many vigorous for flower production. Micropropagation tested an agarized Murashige Skoog (MS) mediu...

We present a numerically fast reduced filtering strategy, the Fourier domain Kalman filter with appropriate interpolations to account for irregularly spaced observations of complex turbulent signals. The design of such a reduced filter involves: (i) interpolating irregularly spaced observations to the model regularly spaced grid points, (ii) understanding under which situation the small scale o...
