Building an Allocentric Traveling-Direction Signal Via Vector Computation
Cheng Lyu
Jan 01, 0001
Many behavioral tasks require the manipulation of mathematical vectors, but, outside of computational models, it is not known how brains perform vector operations. Here we show how the Drosophila central complex, a region...

A fluorescent peptidyl substrate for visualizing peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase activity in live cells

This communication reports on a fluorescent probe (PPI-P) for imaging active peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases in live cells. PPI-P is capable of responding to both recombinant and cellular PPIases fluorogenically, and has...

Cheng Luo
Sep 05, 2013
Keenan and Comrie's Accessibility Hierarchy (AH) applied to clefting predicts greater c1eftability of subject (s U) than direct object (DO). However, in some Eastern Austronesian languages, particularly Tongan, some transitive...
Typological Parameters for the Lexica-syntactic Structures of High-digit Numerical Expressions
Cheng Luo
Jul 30, 2013
The objective of this paper is to explore the lexico-syntactic structure of high-digit numerical expressions (henceforth HDNEs), normally with 4 digits and more, and to propose a set of typological parameters to account for...

Selective Dealkenylative Functionalization of Styrenes via C-C Bond Cleavage.
As a readily available feedstock, styrene with about 25 million tons of global annual production serves as an important building block and organic synthon for the synthesis of fine chemicals, polystyrene plastics, and...
Airborne Molecular Contamination
This review paper focuses on the recent knowledge about airborne molecular contamination (AMC) and its impacts on 300-mm wafer fabrication processes. The adverse impacts on process materials by both organic and inorganic...

Loss sensitive investors and positively biased analysts in Hong Kong stock market
Abstract: The Hong Kong stock market is known to be highly volatile. Professional investors have a strong demand for timely information because of the infrequent nature of Hong Kong analysts’ interim reports (Cheng et al....
“I just like the stock”
Abstract: This paper investigates the role played by the social media platform Reddit in the events around the GameStop (GME) share rally in early 2021. In particular, we analyze the impact of discussions on the r/WallStreetBets...
Pilot evaluation of a group stabilisation intervention for refugees and asylum seekers with PTSD

Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is commonly experienced by asylum seekers and refugees (ASR). Evidence supports the use of cognitive behavioural therapy-based treatments, but not in group format for this...

An Analysis of the Willingness to the COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shots among Urban Employees
Many studies have shown that urban workers may have a higher acceptance rate of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine uptake compared to their rural counterparts. As Omicron spreads globally, the COVID-19 booster vaccination...
Lesions of abdominal connectives reveal a conserved organization of the calling song central pattern generator (CPG) network in different cricket species
Abstract: Although crickets move their front wings for sound production, the abdominal ganglia house the network of the singing central pattern generator. We compared the effects of specific lesions to the connectives of the...
A Fine-Grained IoT Data Access Control Scheme Combining Attribute-Based Encryption and Blockchain
IoT technology has been widely valued and applied, and the resulting massive IoT data brings many challenges to the traditional centralized data management, such as performance, privacy, and security challenges. This paper...

Testing of a Dual Process Model to Resolve the Socioeconomic Health Disparities
A wealth of past studies documented that individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES) are more susceptible to both acute and chronic life stress than those of higher SES, but some recent evidence documents that not all...
Assessing cross laminated timber (CLT) as an alternative material for mid-rise residential buildings in cold regions in China-A life-cycle assessment approach

Timber building has gained more and more attention worldwide due to it being a generic renewable material and having low environmental impact. It is widely accepted that the use of timber may be able to reduce the embodied...
