Accurate chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are critical to maintaining genomic integrity. Both events involve the spindle apparatus, but the exact mechanics is as puzzling as the contradicting models proposed in the last two centuries. In this dissertation, current prevailing models of chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are tested using...

With the economic globalization, the consumption demand of Chinese residents has changed gradually. The paper analyzes consumption tendency of Chinese residents from two aspects, those are per capital consumption level and consumption characteristics. On the one side, per capita ownership of fish and fishery products of China is above the...

A major issue in non-inferiority trials is the controversial assumption of constancy,
namely that the active control has the same effect relative to placebo as in previous studies
comparing the active control with placebo. The constancy assumption is often in doubt, which
has motivated various methods that ‘discount’ the control...

The purpose of this study was to gain information about the characteristics of small restaurant owners in China. The data for the study were hand-collected by survey questionnaires in four cities across three provinces in China. We found three main results. First, small restaurant entrepreneurs were characterized by one of...

Rapamycin (Rapa) and dietary restriction (DR) have consistently
been shown to increase lifespan. To investigate whether Rapa
and DR affect similar pathways in mice, we compared the effects
of feeding mice ad libitum (AL), Rapa, DR, or a combination of
Rapa and DR (Rapa + DR) on the transcriptome and...

Rapamycin was found to increase (11% to 16%) the lifespan of male and female C57BL/6J mice most likely by reducing the
increase in the hazard for mortality (i.e., the rate of aging) term in the Gompertz mortality analysis. To identify the pathways
that could be responsible for rapamycin’s longevity effect,...

Illusory motions refer to the phenomena in which static images composed of certain colors and patterns lead to the illusion of motions. This paper presents an approach for generating illusory motions on 3D surfaces which can be used for shape illustration as well as artistic visualization of line fields on...

A feedback between decomposition and litter chemical composition occurs with decomposition altering composition that in turn influences the decomposition rate. Elucidating the temporal pattern of chemical composition is vital to understand this feedback, but the effects of plant species and climate on chemical changes remain poorly understood, especially over multiple...
