Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have a critical role in cancer initiation and progression, thus may mediate oncogenic or tumor suppressing effects, as well be new class of therapeutic targets. We performed high-throughput sequencing RNA (RNA-seq) to investigate the expression level lncRNAs protein-coding genes 30 esophageal samples, comprised 15 squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) samples their paired non-tumor tissues. further developed an integrative bioinformatics method, denoted...
Academic Motivation Scale-Chemistry (AMS-Chemistry), an instrument based on the self-determination theory, was used to evaluate students’ motivation in two organic chemistry courses, where one course primarily lecture-based and other implemented flipped classroom peer-led team learning (Flip–PLTL) pedagogies. Descriptive statistics showed that students both courses were more extrinsically motivated their moved negative directions across semester. Factorial multivariate analysis of covariance...
The reactions of (S)-3-cyanophenylalanine with NaN3 in the presence H2O and Lewis acids (ZnCl2 CdCl2) afford two unprecedented 3D homochiral networks, mono[(S)-5-(3-tetrazoyl)-phenylalaninato]zinc(II) (1) mono[(S)-5-(3-tetrazoyl)-phenylalaninato]cadmium(II) monoaqua(II) (2), respectively. compounds are isostructural noninterpenetrated SrAl2 topology. structure these coordination polymers gives new insight into Sharpless' reaction chiral 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole supramolecular array constructions.
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the quantitative lysine requirement of juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides (initial mean weight: 15.84 ± 0.23 g, SD) in eighteen 500-L indoors flow-through circular fibreglass tanks provided with sand-filtered aerated seawater by diets containing six levels l-lysine ranging from 19.2 39.5 g kg−1 dry diet 4 increments. The diets, which 250 crude protein came fish meal and soybean concentrate, 230 crystalline amino acids, were formulated...
We report the detection of a substellar companion orbiting intermediate-mass giant star 11 Com (G8 III). Precise Doppler measurements from Xinglong Station and Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO) reveal Keplerian velocity variations with an orbital period 326.03 ± 0.32 days, semiamplitude 302.8 2.6 m s−1, eccentricity 0.231 0.005. Adopting stellar mass 2.7 0.3 M☉, minimum is 19.4 1.5 MJ, well above deuterium-burning limit, semimajor axis 1.29 0.05 AU. This first result joint...
Fundamentally concerned with motivation, self-determination theory (SDT) represents a framework of several mini-theories to explore how social context interacts people's motivational types categorized by degree regulation internalization. This paper aims modify an existing theory-based instrument (Academic Motivation Scale, or AMS) and provide validity evidence for the modified Scale-Chemistry) as measure seven student motivation toward chemistry. The explores measured AMS-Chemistry is...
Abstract Being one of the most fundamental physical parameter astronomical objects, mass plays a vital role in study exoplanets, including their temperature structure, chemical composition, formation, and evolution. However, nearly quarter known confirmed exoplanets lack measurements masses. This is particularly severe for those discovered via radial velocity (RV) technique, which alone could only yield minimum planets. In this study, we use published RV data combined with astrometric from...
This study investigated students' academic motivation, homework, and achievement in an online General Chemistry II course. Seven types of motivation were assessed using the Academic Motivation Scale toward (AMS-Chemistry), which is grounded Self-Determination Theory. Weekly homework assignments used as low-stake formative assessments to promote student learning, final exam points measured achievement. Responses AMS-Chemistry demonstrated good validity reliability environment, revealing that...
The remarkable popularity of "Village BA" presents to us not merely a rural - flavored sports event, but also cultural phenomenon with modern elements that has been recognized by the masses. By delving deep into its folk culture, we can see "soft power" and "hard contained therein are important driving forces behind transformation "phenomenal" event. Based on field investigation BA", this paper analyzes actual situation governance summarizes crucial role in development, proposes optimization...
Abstract. Objectives : Previously, we have found that the ClC‐3 chloride channel is involved in endothelin‐1 (ET‐1)‐induced rat aortic smooth muscle cell proliferation. The present study was to investigate role of cycle progression/distribution and underlying mechanisms Materials methods Small interference RNA (siRNA) used silence expression. Cell proliferation, distribution protein expression were measured or detected with counting, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation, Western blot flow...
This research paper recognizes the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and firm reputation. The researcher collected data from 239 fast moving consumer goods enterprises located in industrial area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. CSR are measured by recycling products, green purchasing, environmental awareness/protection programs, direct support to community. adopts a simultaneous regression technique test hypotheses. results show that have strong positive...
Salt stress is a major increasing threat to global agriculture. Pongamia (Millettia pinnata), semi-mangrove, good model study the molecular mechanism of plant adaptation saline environment. Calcium signaling pathways play critical roles in plants such as Arabidopsis responding salt stress, but little known about their function Pongamia. Here, we have isolated and characterized salt-responsive MpCML40, calmodulin-like (CML) gene from MpCML40 protein has 140 amino acids homologous with...
An instructional research-like multiweek laboratory project for a second-semester introductory general chemistry course has been developed.
