According to economics, curiosity is the smartest move you can make. Marginal value theory shows that exploring new ideas ...

Gain-of-function experiments are ingrained in the scientific process. In many instances, the benefits that stem from gain-of-function experiments are not immediately clear. Only decades later does the ...

In this paper, based on modified Maiorana-McFarland bent functions, we construct a balanced vectorial Boolean functions. Furthermore, we utilize optimal single-weight linear codes to provide specific ...

Linear codes are widely studied in coding theory as they have nice applications in distributed storage, combinatorics, lattices, cryptography and so on. Constructing linear codes with desirable ...

imageimageSpecific nutrition histories in Drosophila larval stages diminish the function of histone acetyltransferase Gcn5, which most likely contributes to the earlier death of male adults. A larval ...

In other words, what are the properties of the underlying system controlling cell growth and proliferation that result in a Product neutrality function for mutant fitnesses? In this paper, we conduct ...

Generalized additive models (GAM) were applied to model non-linear relationships, and threshold effects were evaluated using two-piece-wise linear regression. Mediation analysis quantified the ...
