Recent endowment has made the Lin Fearrington Thomas Scholarship a permanent fund at Winthrop. Thomas earned B.A. and M.B.A. degrees as a post-traditional student in the 1980s.
With advances in communication technologies, virtual reality (VR) has become increasing popular. This study investigated the influence of virtual experiences on advertising effects. A 2 (virtual experience immersion: high vs....
Near-infrared II fluorescence imaging holds great promise for in vivo imaging and imaging-guided surgery with deep penetration and high spatiotemporal resolution. However, most NIR-II aromatic luminophores suffer from the...
Fast decoupled state estimation (FDSE) is proposed for distribution networks, with fast convergence and high efficiency. Conventionally, branch current magnitude measurements cannot be incorporated into FDSE models; however, in...
A knowledge worker's goal commitment is critical to the success of system implementation in the organization. This paper investigates an individual's information formality motivation and social influence as important...

The DREAM (dimerization partner [DP], retinoblastoma [Rb]-like, E2F, and MuvB) complex controls cellular quiescence by repressing cell-cycle and other genes, but its mechanism of action is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that two...
A new localization algorithm based on large scale unmanned aerial vehicle swarm (UAVs) is proposed in the paper. The localization algorithm is based on a spring particle model (LASPM). It simulates the dynamic process of...
Abstract: During root nodule symbiosis, intracellular accommodation of rhizobia by legumes is a prerequisite for nitrogen fixation. For many legumes, rhizobial colonization initiates in root hairs through transcellular infection...
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified more than 30 Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk genes, although the detailed mechanism through which all these genes are associated with AD pathogenesis remains unknown. We...
Cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) is one of the leading global causes of death and severe disability. To date, retinal microangiopathy has become a reflection of cerebral microangiopathy, mirroring the vascular pathological...

Cell invasion allows cells to migrate across compartment boundaries formed by basement membranes. Aberrant cell invasion is a first step during the formation of metastases by malignant cancer cells. Anchor cell (AC) invasion in...

Maintenance and complexity issues in software development continue to increase because of new requirements and software evolution, and refactoring is required to help software adapt to the changes. The goal of refactoring is to...
All elements that form diatomic molecules, such as H_{2}, N_{2}, O_{2}, Cl_{2}, Br_{2}, and I_{2}, are destined to become atomic solids under sufficiently high pressure. However, as revealed by many experimental and theoretical...
This article analyzes A Universal History of Infamy, the 1972 translation into English of Historia Universal de la Infamia (hereinafter, HUI). While assessing this translation's degree of literality, the authors also...
AIMS: To compare macular structure and vasculature between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using optical coherence tomography angiography. METHODS: NMOSD patients (n=124)...
Alkaptonuria is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder of tyrosine metabolism, which causes ochronosis, arthropathy, cardiac valvular calcification, and urolithiasis. The epidemiology of alkaptonuria in East Asia is not...
In this study, the authors extended the perceived risk-value model to include customer involvement to conceptualize an adoption intention model in the context of internet-only bank services (IOBSs). Hypotheses were tested using...
Phylogenetic analysis has shown that males' propensity to engage in aggressive encounters is associated with females having greater longevity. Here, we confirm the causal link between aggression and reduced longevity by looking...
