RPCs with float glass electrodes (GSC or glass RPC) have been proposed as active elements for large-detectors (e.g. MONOLITH). Industrial large-scale GSC production has to be standardized in order to have homogeneous, affordable and reproducible detectors. A wide range of industrial glass treatments are already exploited by both glass and automobile industries. Our efforts are aimed to import a...

RNA modifications play critical roles in important biological processes. However, the functions of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification in cancer biology and cancer stem cells remain largely unknown. Here, we show that m6A mRNA modification is critical for glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) self-renewal and tumorigenesis. Knockdown of METTL3 or METTL14, key components of the RNA methyltransfera...

This paper aims to make a comparative analysis between the personal profiling capabilities of the two most important free citation-based academic search engines, namely Microsoft Academic Search (MAS) and Google Scholar Citations (GSC). Author profiles can be very useful for evaluation purposes once the advantages and the shortcomings of these services are described and taken into consideration...

Germline stem cell (GSC) self-renewal and differentiation are required for the sustained production of gametes. GSC differentiation in Drosophila oogenesis requires expression of the histone methyltransferase dSETDB1 by the somatic niche, however its function in this process is unknown. Here, we show that dSETDB1 is required for the expression of a Wnt ligand, Drosophila Wingless type mouse mam...

The high dimensionality of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data presents major challenges to fMRI pattern classification. Directly applying standard classifiers often results in overfitting, which limits the generalizability of the results. In this paper, we propose a new group of classifiers, “Generalized Sparse Classifiers” (GSC), to alleviate this overfitting problem. GSC draws ...

In order to implement or maintain a green supply chain (GSC) that produces goods and services responsibly sustainably, managers should use tools allow for the efficient identification, quantification, mitigation of ever-present risks. The objective present research is identify risk factors associated with processes involved in GSC management. Based on an analysis characteristics risk, authors p...

The flow of high-temperature and compositionally enriched material between mantle plumes nearby spreading centers influences up to 30% the global mid-ocean ridge system represents a significant, but currently unconstrained, flux volatiles out mantle. Here, we present new analyses H2O, F, Cl, S in basaltic glass chips from an archetypal region plume-ridge interaction, Galápagos Spreading Center ...

This paper proposes a new multichannel hybrid method for dereverberation of speech signals in noisy environments. This method extends the use of a hybrid noise reduction method for dereverberation which is based on the combination of Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC) and a single-channel noise reduction stage. In this research, we employ Transfer Function GSC (TF-GSC) that is more suitable f...

Adaptive arrays are of immense interest due to their ability to automatically steer nulls towards undesired interference sources, thereby reducing the output noise and enhancing the detection of desired signal. In active phased arrays, each antenna element is weighted for beamforming. These weights are estimated iteratively using different algorithms. Generalized sidelobe cancellers (GSC) are a...

As the trend towards decentralization of grids continues, new typologies such as microgrids have gained popularity in recent years. Microgrids offer greater reliability they can operate both connected to main grid and islanded mode. However, transition island mode be even more challenging when a microgrid has high penetration intermittent sources like Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). In...
