The Friction Angle of the Leiyang Marble Surface after Exposure to High Temperature by Meng Hong Peng, Man Huang

“…The results indicate that the Stimpson test on samples with the length-to-diameter ratio of 2 can be more reliable to estimate the basic friction angle of the rock surface after exposure to high temperatures. The results illustrate that the sliding angle depends on the surface condition. …”

Alternative Splicing Programs in Prostate Cancer by Claudio Sette

“…Key genes for the biology of normal and neoplastic prostate cells, such as those encoding for the androgen receptor and cyclin D1, are alternatively spliced to yield protein isoforms with different or even opposing functions. This review illustrates some examples of genes whose alternative splicing regulation is relevant to PCa biology and discusses the possibility to exploit alternative splicing regulation as a novel tool for prognosis, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches to PCa.…”

The Impact of Assimilating Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Observation on the Forecast of Typhoon Tracks by Chien-Ben Chou, Huei-Ping Huang

“…Outside this range, notably when the decorrelation scale of the background error is set to a large value, forcing the assimilation of AIRS data leads to degradation of the forecast. This illustrates how the impact of satellite data on the forecast depends on the adjustable parameters for data assimilation. …”
