This article explores the diachronic semantic development of the intensifier way in American English.It has been claimed in the literature that the intensifying function of way derives from the use of spatial adverbial (a)way, but I propose that this may not be the only semantic source involved.This assumption is based on an examination of corpus d
Semaphorin 3A mediated brain tumor stem cell proliferation and invasion in EGFRviii mutant gliomas
Abstract Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, with a median survival of approximately 15 months.Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), known for its axon guidance and antiangiogenic properties, has been implicated in GBM growth.We hypothesized that Sema3A directly inhibits brain tumor stem cell (BTSC) prolifer
Study on Gas Turbine Gas-Path Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Quadratic Entropy Feature Extraction
disposable underwear To avoid disrepair and over-repair and improve gas turbine reliability and availability, gas-path diagnosis is an effective technical means of disseminating early warning information for evolving or impending deterioration.Aiming at the problems of existing gas-path diagnosis methods (i.e., data-driven based gas-path diagnosis
Bidirectional mapping between rhombic triacontahedron and icosahedral hexagonal discrete global grid systems
ABSTRACTThe icosahedron is currently the mainstream polygon in research and application of discrete global grid systems (DGGS).However, compared to the rhombic triacontahedron (RT), the icosahedron has disadvantages, such as lower sphere-fitting accuracy, greater projection distortion, and difficulty in incorporating the matrix structure for geospa
Non-Coding RNA Extraction from Nucleus Pulposus of Intervertebral Discs with Subsequent Expression Profiling
Background.With numerous extraction protocols for total RNA and RNA fractions, like microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), available for various cell and tissue types, obtaining a high quantitative and qualitative yield from some special material, such as the nucleus pulposus, remains challenging.Nucleus pulposus is troublesome to manag
