Symmetry classes of alternating sign matrices in the nineteen-vertex model
The nineteen-vertex model on a periodic lattice with an anti-diagonal twist is investigated. Its inhomogeneous transfer matrix is shown to have a simple eigenvalue, with the corresponding eigenstate displaying intriguing combinatorial features.

Common genetic polymorphisms of microRNA biogenesis pathway genes and breast cancer survival
Background Although the role of microRNA’s (miRNA’s) biogenesis pathway genes in cancer development and progression has been well established, the association between genetic variants of this pathway genes and breast cancer survival is still unknown ...

HIWI is associated with prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resection [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUND:PIWI protein family was found to play an important role in stem cell self‐renewal. Overexpression of HIWI, the human homolog of PIWI family proteins, was found in several solid tumors, although the role of HIWI in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its prognostic value remain unclear.METHODS:HIWI expression was measured in stepwise ...

Silencing HIWI suppresses the growth, invasion and migration of glioma cells
The HIWI gene is one of the members of the PIWI gene family that is important for stem cell self‑renewal and expressed highly in certain human tumors. Some studies have demonstrated that HIWI plays a key role in the development of tumors in cervical, colon and liver cancer.

Divergent estimation error in portfolio optimization and in linear regression
The problem of estimation error in portfolio optimization is discussed, in the limit where the portfolio size N and the sample size T go to infinity such that their ratio is fixed. The estimation error strongly depends on the ratio N/T and diverges for a

Abstract Circadian rhythms are maintained by series of circadian clock proteins, and post‐translation modifications of clock proteins significantly contribute to regulating circadian clock. However, the underlying upstream mechanism of circadian genes that are responsible for circadian rhythms in cancer cells remains unknown.

Overexpression of Argonaute HIWI Gene in Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells and Colorectal Cancerous Tissue [PDF]
Abstract Background: Recent studies have shown that Hiwi has a crucial role in stem cell self-renewal in various organisms and it is also associated with some cancers. In the present study, Hiwi expression was examined in different grades of primary human colorectal cancer (CRC), colorectal cancer stem cells (CRCSCs) and HT-29 CRC cell line ...
