Analysis of IGF2 mRNA expression and its methylation status between cattle yaks and their parents
Abstract Cattle yaks are an F1 hybrid between cattle and yaks and exhibit significant hybrid vigor. However, cattle yaks are sterile males. To study the epigenetic aspects of this reproductive isolation, IGF2 mRNA expression in cattle yaks and their ...

Evaluation of frequency-lowering algorithms for intelligibility of Chinese speech in hearing-aid users
Abstract Despite the attention being given to and the knowledge of the benefits of evaluating frequency-lowering algorithms for hearing-impaired people, the causality between these algorithms and their benefits is still not clear. This is aggravated ...

Compressibility of a natural kyanite to 17.5GPa
Abstract The compressional behaviour of a natural kyanite, (Al1.99Fe0.01)SiO5, has been investigated to about 17.5GPa at 300K using a diamond-anvil cell and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The pressure–volume data fitted to the third-order...

Thermal ablation versus conventional regional hyperthermia has greater anti-tumor activity against melanoma in mice by upregulating CD4+ cells and enhancing IL-2 secretion
Abstract To determine whether conventional hyperthermia (42–45°C) or ablation therapy (>50°C) achieves better synergistic effects on direct cytotoxicity and anti-tumor immunity, we compared the therapeutic effects of two hyperthermia...
