Combining rich spectral and spatial information, a hyperspectral image (HSI) can provide a
more comprehensive characterization of the Earth’s surface. To better exploit HSIs, a large …

More than twenty years of study has provided a better understanding of hepatitis C virus (HCV)
life cycle, including the general properties of viral RNA and proteins. This effort facilitates …

Numerous studies indicate that target gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) could lead
to insect death. This phenomenon has been considered as a potential strategy for insect …

The extension of the cosmic-ray spectrum beyond 1 petaelectronvolt (PeV; 10 15 electronvolts)
indicates the existence of the so-called PeVatrons—cosmic-ray factories that accelerate …

Memcached is a well known, simple, in memory caching solution. This paper describes how
Facebook leverages memcached as a building block to construct and scale a distributed key…

This paper describes Haystack, an object storage system optimized for Facebook’s Photos
application. Facebook currently stores over 260 billion images, which translates to over 20 …

Charge-transfer (CT) complexes, formed by electron transfer from a donor to an acceptor, play
a crucial role in organic semiconductors. Excited-state CT complexes, termed exciplexes, …

Members of the interleukin-6 family of cytokines bind to and activate receptors that contain a
common subunit, gp130. This leads to the activation of Stat3 and Stat1, two cytoplasmic …

This work investigated the cytotoxicities of three silver nanoparticles (SNPs) SNP-5, SNP-20
and SNP-50 with different sizes (∼ 5 nm, ∼ 20 nm and ∼ 50 nm) using four human cell …

The relationship between δ 18 O and δ 13 C in a closed-basin lake is a function of hydrological
change, vapor exchange, lake productivity, and total CO 2 (or carbonate alkalinity) …
