RTA‐408 Enhances Radiosensitivity and Inhibited Tumor Progression via JNK Pathway in Glioblastoma
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis owing to its high invasiveness and resistance to therapy. RTA‐408, a synthetic triterpenoid and nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 activator, exhibits anti‐inflammatory and anti‐cancer properties; however, its effects on GBM remain unclear. This study investigated the

Critters in the Classroom: A 3D Computer-Game-Like Tool for Teaching Programming to Computer Animation Students [PDF]
, 2007 The brewing crisis threatening computer science education is a well documented fact. To counter this and to increase enrolment and retention in computer science related degrees, it has been suggested to make programming "more fun" and to offer ...

Oikos, EarlyView.The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The effect of the Earth's oblate spheroid shape on the accuracy of a time-of-arrival lightning ground strike locating system [PDF]
The algorithm used in previous technology time-of-arrival lightning mapping systems was based on the assumption that the earth is a perfect spheroid. These systems yield highly-accurate lightning locations, which is their major strength.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.
