Abstract Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the progression of various cancers and affect the response to radiotherapy.This study focused on clarifying the underlying mechanism by which lncTUG1 affects the radiosensitivity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods lncTUG1, miR-144-3p and MET expression levels were d
Objectives: The small hive beetles (SHBs) cause dangerous damages to bee colonies in several countries.Some African countries represent the native land to these beetles.The SHBs are not well established in North Africa and South Europe (the closest land to the native countries).Therefore, this study aimed to model the current and future distributio
Walking-induced vibration control in wood floors is a critical issue attracting the attention of many researchers and engineers.This paper presents an experimental study applying static deflection tests, modal tests, and pedestrian load tests to a series of full-scale 12 m span tooth plates connected to wood truss joist floors with strongbacks and
The definition of bidding zones is a relevant question for electricity markets.The bidding zones can be identified starting from information on the nodal prices and network topology, considering the operational conditions that may lead to congestion of the transmission lines.A well-designed bidding zone configuration is a key milestone for an effic
