Local translation of certain mRNAs at synapses in response to activation critically contributes to asymmetric cell polarity and synaptic plasticity (Kiebler and DesGroseillers, 2000; Steward and Schuman, 2001; St Johnston, 2005). The double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen has been implicated both in dendritic RNA transport and translational regulation (Tang et al., 2001; Kim et al., 2005)....

We hypothesize that various prosody output styles can be predicted and simulated from one default base form by accounting for contributions from higher level information to cross-phrase prosodic relationship. Speech materials of four prosody styles were selected: (1.) Han and Tang poetry, (2.) Tang Ballads and Song poetry, (3.) Qin, Tang and Song classic prose and (4.) contemporary TV weather f...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignant tumor worldwide which has an increasing incidence in the East Asia (Parkin et al., 1999; Bosch et al., 2004). Potentially curative interventions such as tumor resection, liver transplantation and thermal ablation are applicable for the 30% whose tumors or liver function meet defined criteria (Llovet et al., 2003). Even among thos...

A KKM space is an abstract convex space satisfying the KKM principle. We obtain variants of the KKM principle for KKM spaces related to weakly KKM maps and indicate some applications of them. These results properly generalize the corresponding ones in G-convex spaces and φA-spaces X,D; {φA}A∈〈D〉 . Consequently, results by Balaj 2004, Liu 1991, and Tang et al. 2007 can be properly generalized an...

A study of the genus Paraputo Laing, 1929 (Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) from China is provided. Eight Paraputo species are recognized in China, of which two species, P. platanisp. n. and P. yunnanensissp. n., are described as new and P. banzigeri Williams, 2004 is recorded from China for the first time. Two new combinations are introduced, involving transfer of P. citricola Tang, 1992 and P. si...

This paper presents a real jumping gene genetic algorithm (RJGGA) as an enhancement of the jumping gene genetic algorithm (JGGA) [T.M. Chan, K.F. Man, K.S. Tang, S.

Kwong, Multiobjective optimization of radio-to-fiber rep...

The standard methods for computing the number of nonsynonymous substitutions (Ka) lump all amino acid changes into one single class, even though their rates of substitution vary by at least 10-fold (Tang et al., 2004). Classifying these changes by their physicochemical properties has not been suitably effective in isolating the fastest evolving classes of changes. We now propose to use the Univ...
