Efficient Hybrid Load Balancing AlgorithmAbstractThe scarcity of the servers to cater to the demands of the traffic is one of the most important tasks of load balancing (LB). The increasing number of users at the same point of time does not provide enough room for all users. To provide a solution to this problem, the servers formulate a queue where the users are buffered for a period of time before they get connected to the further servers. If the requests are extremely high, then the load balancer...

TLR7 activation in epilepsy of tuberous sclerosis complexAbstractBackgroundNeuroinflammation and toll-like receptors (TLR) of the innate immune system have been implicated in epilepsy. We previously reported high levels of microRNAs miR-142-3p and miR-223-3p in epileptogenic brain tissue resected for the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). As miR-142-3p has recently been reported to be a ligand and activator of TLR7, a detector of exogenous and endogenous...

The novel function of the Ph1 gene to differentiate homologs from homoeologs evolved in Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides via a dramatic meiosis-specific increase in the expression of the 5B copy of the C-Ph1 geneAbstractThe Ph1 gene is the principal regulator of homoeologous chromosome pairing control (HECP) that ensures the diploid-like meiotic chromosome pairing behavior of polyploid wheat. The HECP control was speculated to have evolved after the first event of polyploidization. With the objective...

Dynamics in higher education choice: weighing one's multiple interests in light of available programmesAbstractRecent studies have shown that students' interests are decisive in making a substantiated higher education choice, yet do not indicate how students decide which interests they aim to pursue. This study aimed to find the considerations students have when weighing interests and higher education programmes. Thematic analysis was applied to uncover considerations based on semi-structured interviews...

First identification and molecular characterization of a novel cherry robigovirusAbstractA large contig with sequence similarities to members of the genus Robigovirus was identified by high-throughput sequencing analysis from a symptomless cherry accession. The complete genome sequence of this new virus is 8,384 nucleotides in length, excluding the 3' poly(A) tail. Its genome organization is very similar to those of four known robigoviruses, encoding a putative replicase, three 'triple gene block'...

Remembering to Forget: The Historic Irresponsibility of U.S. Big TobaccoAbstractSociety increasingly demands corporations to be accountable for their past misbehaviours. Some corporations engage in forgetting work with the aim of avoiding responsibility for their wrongdoings. We argue that whenever social actors have their past actions called into question and engage in forgetting work, an ethics of remembering takes place. A collective project of social forgetting is contingent on the emergence...

The role of emotional eating in the links between racial discrimination and physical and mental healthAbstractThe environmental affordances (EA) model posits that maladaptive self-regulatory strategies (e.g., emotional eating) directly and indirectly heighten African Americans' risk for downstream medical morbidities while also potentially mitigating the psychological impact of stressors. We empirically tested the full EA model. In doing so, we investigated the associations among racial discrimination,...

Recurrent intragenic exon rearrangements of SOBP and AUTS2 in non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomaAbstractExpression of intragenic exon rearrangements (IERs) has reportedly been detected in both normal and cancer cells. However, there have been few reports of occurrence of these rearrangements specific to neoplasms including malignant lymphoma. In this study, we detected IERs of ten genes (NBPF8, SOBP, AUTS2, RAB21, SPATA13, ABCC4, WDR7, PHLPP1, NFATC1 and MAGED1) in non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma (B-NHL) cell...

Finding a Place for Networks in ArchaeologyAbstractFormal network analyses have a long history in archaeology but have recently seen a rapid florescence. Network models drawing on approaches from graph theory, social network analysis, and complexity science have been used to address a broad array of questions about the relationships among network structure, positions, and the attributes and outcomes for individuals and larger groups at a range of social scales. Current archaeological network research...
