The mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea is a classic experimental model for multicellular development in fungi because it grows on defined media, completes its life cycle 2 weeks, produces some 10 8 synchronized meiocytes, and can be manipulated at all stages by mutation transformation. 37-megabase genome of C. was sequenced assembled into 13 chromosomes. Meiotic recombination rates vary greatly along the chromosomes, retrotransposons are absent large regions with low levels meiotic recombination....
Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) has been the focus of significant attention recent years because its growing social importance and pedagogical value. In Hong Kong, an increasing number K-12 schools are planning or piloting their grassroots AIED incorporation practices. However, progress is reportedly slow due to a barriers. Unfortunately, limited scope, disputed interpretations contextual irrelevance, current research literature seems be referencing value aiding address issues...
Cybersecurity threats have grown exponentially, posing a heavy burden on organisations. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are particularly vulnerable, and their cybersecurity issues receiving greater attention. However, existing research has limited referencing value for HEI leaders policy-makers because they usually technology-focused. Publications that showcase best practices often lack system-wide perspectives towards in HEIs. Our paper, therefore, aims to bridge this literature gap...
Abstract Background The transition from the vegetative mycelium to primordium during fruiting body development is most complex and critical developmental event in life cycle of many basidiomycete fungi. Understanding molecular mechanisms underlying this process has long been a goal research on basidiomycetes. Large scale assessment expressed transcriptomes these stages will facilitate generation more comprehensive picture mushroom process. In study, we coupled 5'-Serial Analysis Gene...
AimThe aim of the study was to assess patient preference for fixed-dose combination pertuzumab and trastuzumab subcutaneous injection (PH FDC SC) in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer PHranceSCa (NCT03674112).Materials methodsPatients who completed neoadjuvant P + H chemotherapy surgery were randomised 1:1 three intravenous (IV) cycles followed by PH SC or vice versa (crossover) then chose (SC) IV infusion continue up 18 (continuation). Assessments via healthcare professional...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative force across diverse sectors worldwide, with policy initiatives signalling its rising prominence. In the realm of education, AI holds promise for revolutionising learning and teaching. However, incorporation in basic education faces significant challenges many schools, particularly when explicit curriculum guidelines are absent, teachers have limited exposure to technologies. This study delves into importance integrating...
The objective of this paper is to determine the extent which adopting Nonaka’s SECI knowledge-creation processes enhances strategic planning capacity in context Hong Kong school education.A quantitative questionnaire survey conducted examine predictive effects model on processes. Data collected from 42 principals and 392 teachers schools. A multilevel structural equation applied mechanism capacity. Results show that combination process predicts capacity, while a collaborative culture enables...
Past studies identified isolated factors influencing teachers' formative assessment practices (FAP) but did not show a comprehensive model of it. Hence, this study systematically creates and tests theoretical FAP by determining whether personal or contextual are linked to FAP. We collected longitudinal data from 296 Hong Kong primary secondary teachers through two waves the survey. The results multivariate outcome, multilevel analysis showed that (teacher rank, years teaching experience,...
Abstract Human Rad9 (hRad9), a structural homologue of yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad9, is involved in cell cycle checkpoints and apoptosis. hRad9 can serve as corepressor androgen receptor prostate cancer cells, but little known about its role the development breast or other cancers. In present study, semiquantitative reverse transcription-PCR showed that mRNA levels were up-regulated 52.1% (25 48) tumors, this up-regulation correlated with tumor size (P = 0.037) local recurrence...
Abstract This paper presents computational methods for quantitative description and analysis of expressive performance strategies in violin performances. We present general techniques extracting beat-level tempo loudness data, the Local Maximum Phrase Detection (LMPD) method. The LMPD method equates local maxima curve with interpreted phrases, defines measures phrase strength (clarity), volatility (standard deviation), typicality (concurrence norm), characterizing each phrase. are developed...
Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is an angiostatic chemokine that suppresses tumor growth and metastasis. We previously revealed frequent transcriptional silencing of PF4 in multiple myeloma, but the functional roles this are still unknown. studied apoptotic effects on myeloma cell lines primary vitro, investigated involved signaling pathway. The vivo were also using a mouse model. not only suppressed myeloma-associated angiogenesis, inhibited induced apoptosis cells. found negatively regulated STAT3...
This paper presents an evaluation study of innovative and theory-based initial teacher education course entitled Learning Study, the aim which is to develop instructional design teaching competency pre-service teachers in Hong Kong. The Study offered all second year students as part Bachelor Education programme biggest institute comprises a series tutorials, supportive consultation meetings, research lesson practicum. To assess effectiveness course, framework representation, decomposition,...
Abstract GnRH has been implicated as an important local autocrine and paracrine factor in regulating ovarian function. However, to date, the transcriptional regulation of receptor (GnRHR) gene human ovary remains poorly understood. Here we report characterization a new upstream promoter for GnRHR granulosa-luteal cells. Using progressive deletion analysis, region between nucleotide −1300 −1018 (relative translation start site) was shown exhibit highest activities two immortalized cell lines,...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the knowledge strategies applied in aided secondary schools Hong Kong and explore predictive relationship between school learning capacity. Design/methodology/approach A cross‐sectional quantitative survey was designed collect data from 427 teachers at 15 Kong. Exploratory factor analysis a structural equation model were structure latent variables their relationships. Findings results showed that use interpersonal interactive sharing as major...
