Microarray-based differential expression profiling of long noncoding RNAs and messenger RNAs in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human papillary thyroid carcinoma samples.

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate the expression of genes at almost every level. The altered expression of lncRNAs was observed in many kinds of cancers. Until recently, few studies have focused on the function of lncRNAs in the context of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Impact of Link Unreliability and Asymmetry on the Quality of Connectivity in Large-scale Sensor Networks.

Connectivity is a fundamental issue in research on wireless sensor networks. However, unreliable and asymmetric links have a great impact on the global quality of connectivity (QoC). By assuming the deployment of nodes a homogeneous Poisson point process and eliminating the border effect, this paper derives an explicit expression of node non-isolation probability as the upper bound of one-connectivity, based on an analytical link model which incorporates important parameters such as path loss exponent, shadowing variance of channel, modulation, encoding method etc.

Worst-case response time of aperiodc message in WorldFIP and its improvement in real-time capability.

How to support real-time traffic of aperiodic messages using WorldFIP is investigated in this paper. Transmission of aperiodic message within WorldFIP is a very complicated procedure because it is concerned with left time in a microcycle and must successively experience three different stages, indicating, identifying, and transmitting aperiodic message. This paper presents an integrated approach to analyze the worst-case responding time (WCRT) of aperiodic message, through integrating transmission of periodic message and these three stages of aperiodic message together.
