Characteristics of invasive alien plants in different urban areas: the case of Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, China

Frontiers in Plant Science
As globalization progresses, the threat of invasive alien plants to ecosystems is becoming increasingly prominent, and the negative effects of these plants on human health and socioeconomics are gradually increasing with the development of cities; thus ...

Valency distributions and geochemical fractions of arsenic and antimony in non-ferrous smelting soils with varying particle sizes

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Arsenic and antimony are common toxic metalloids found in associated minerals. These metalloids generally cause high-concentration pollution in non-ferrous metal smelting soils; however, few studies have investigated the pollution characteristics of ...

Adverse prognosis gene expression patterns in metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We aggregated a cohort of 1012 mCRPC tissue samples from 769 patients and investigated the association of gene expression‐based pathways with clinical outcomes. Loss of AR signaling, high proliferation, and a glycolytic phenotype were independently prognostic for poor outcomes, and an adverse transcriptional feature score incorporating these pathways ...

Recovering platinum from wastewater by charring biofilm of microbial fuel cells (MFCs)

Journal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2019
Reduction in and recovery of precious metals are research hotspots in the environmental engineering field. In this study, we investigated the transformation and distribution of platinum in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and demonstrated a feasible approach ...

On behavioral Arrow Pratt risk process with applications to risk pricing, stochastic cash flows, and risk control [PDF]

We introduce a closed form behavioural stochastic Arrow-Pratt risk process, decomposed into discrete asymmetric risk seeking and risk averse components that run on different local times in ϵ-disks centered at risk free states.

TOMM20 as a driver of cancer aggressiveness via oxidative phosphorylation, maintenance of a reduced state, and resistance to apoptosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

An introduction to simulation of risk processes [PDF]

A typical model for insurance risk, the so-called collective risk model, has two main components: one characterizing the frequency (or incidence) of events and another describing the severity (or size or amount) of gain or loss resulting from the ...

Targeting the MDM2‐MDM4 interaction interface reveals an otherwise therapeutically active wild‐type p53 in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.
