Bulk and interface quantum states of electrons in multi-layer heterostructures with topological materials.
In this article we describe the bulk and interface quantum states of electrons in multi-layer heterostructures in one dimension, consisting of topological insulators (TIs) and topologically trivial materials. We use and extend...

The paper examines the fusion of narratives, time, space, and personal identity through ethnographic study of rickshaw driver’s performance in the context of “Hutong tour” as a form of urban tourism in Beijing, a cosmopolitan...
The Effect of Pictures on Online Business English Vocabulary Retention of EFL Learners Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
Students can find numerous online resources and platforms for English vocabulary learning during COVID-19. However, most online vocabulary recollection research was concerned with general vocabulary retention, particularly the...
Impacts of Directionality on Disfluency of English-Chinese Two-Way Sight Translation
This study explores the impacts of directionality on disfluency of sight translation (ST) between English and Chinese. The author adopts four disfluency indicators, namely silent pause (SP), filled pause (FP), repetition (Rt)...
Identification of high risk clinical and imaging features for intracranial artery dissection using high-resolution cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Abstract: Background: Intracranial artery dissection (IAD) often causes headache and cerebral vascular ischemic events. The imaging characteristics of IAD remain unclear. This study aims to characterize the appearance of culprit...

Activin A and BMP4 Signaling Expands Potency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells in Serum-Free Media.
Inhibitors of Mek1/2 and Gsk3β, known as 2i, and, together with leukemia inhibitory factor, enhance the derivation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and promote ground-state pluripotency (2i/L-ESCs). However, recent reports show...

Attitudes Towards Global Warming on Twitter
Fang Qiao, Kexin Jiang
Sep 01, 2021
Public opinion surveys over the past thirty years show that public opinion is split on the issue of global warming. One of the problems with “solicited” opinion polls is that the findings may be selectively interpreted in favour...
Dynamic pricing for responsive demand to increase distribution network efficiency

This paper designs a novel dynamic tariff scheme for demand response (DR) by considering networks costs through balancing the trade-off between network investment costs and congestion costs. The objective is to actively...

Application of an Encoding Revision Algorithm in Overlapping Coalition Formation
Overlapping coalition formation is a very active research field in multi-agent systems (MAS). In overlapping coalition, each agent can participate in different coalitions corresponding to multiple tasks at the same time. As each...
Formative Assessment as an Online Instruction Intervention
Online education has long been suffering from high dropout rate and low achievement. However, both asynchronous and synchronous online instructions have to become effective to serve as a quick response to maintain undisrupted...
The careful control of Polo kinase by APC/C-Ube2C ensures the intercellular transport of germline centrosomes during Drosophila oogenesis.
A feature of metazoan reproduction is the elimination of maternal centrosomes from the oocyte. In animals that form syncytial cysts during oogenesis, including Drosophila and human, all centrosomes within the cyst migrate to the...

Strong Coupling in Conserved Surface Roughening
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation defines the main universality class for nonlinear growth and roughening of surfaces. But under certain conditions, a conserved KPZ equation (CKPZ) is thought to set the universality class...
