Relationship between programmed cell death and targeted therapy for thyroid cancer in patients with a poor prognosis: an update by Yuejia Zhao, Simeng Zhao, Zhe Fan, Yongfu Zhao, Guangzhi Wang

“…Accumulating evidence suggests that PCD plays an indispensable role in thyroid cancer, maintaining intracellular stability by regulating genes and eliminating damaged or aged cells. In this review, we summarize six identified forms of PCD, analyze biomarkers for different PCD pathways in thyroid cancer, and briefly elucidate the roles of various PCD pathways in targeted therapies for thyroid cancers with a poor prognosis. …”

Constraints on Primordial Black Holes from Neff: Scalar-induced Gravitational Waves as an Extra Radiation Component by Jing-Zhi Zhou, Yu-Ting Kuang, Zhe Chang, H. Lü

“…These SIGWs can serve as an additional radiation component, influencing the relativistic degrees of freedom N _eff . Taking into account primordial non-Gaussianity, we study the energy density spectrum of SIGWs up to the third order and use the current observational data of N _eff to constrain small-scale primordial curvature perturbations and the abundance of PBHs.…”

Determination of the Hydration Damage Instability Period in a Shale Borehole Wall and Its Application to a Fuling Shale Gas Reservoir in China by Haicheng She, Zaiqiang Hu, Zhan Qu, Yao Zhang, Hu Guo

“…In reviewing Chinese shale gas reserves and national policies regarding shale gas exploitation, shale gas will be of critical importance in providing clean natural gas to China. However, compared to those in the United States, the cost of shale gas extraction and the complex problems encountered in more complex and deep drilling in China are key technologies that need to be overcome. …”

Evaluation of the Physical Performance and Working Mechanism of Asphalt Containing a Surfactant Warm Mix Additive by Jingtao Shi, Weiyu Fan, Tihong Wang, Pinhui Zhao, Fa Che

“…The results show the additive has little influence on the penetration, softening point, ductility, and viscosity-temperature characteristics of asphalt; this suggests that the additive does not work by lowering viscosity. The additive can reduce the zero-shear viscosity of asphalt, and adding too much can reduce antirutting performance. …”

Evaluation Model and Decision Analysis of Digital Firms Ranked in Forbes’ Top Companies by Fang Chen Kao, Thanh Nhan Dinh, Anh Thi Truc Nguyen

“…This study evaluates the profitability and marketability efficiencies of digital firms ranked in Forbes’ list of top companies by using a two-stage network data envelopment analysis (DEA) model with multiplicative efficiency aggregation under the second-order cone programming (SOCP) and examines the respective impacts of the 1995–2001 dot-com bubble and the 2007–2009 global financial crisis on the companies’ efficiencies by applying impulse response function (IRF) analysis. …”

Some Properties of Weighted Pseudo almost Periodic Functions by Zhe-Ming Zheng, Hui-Sheng Ding, Gaston M. N’Guérékata

“…Several interesting and new properties of weighted pseudo almost periodic functions are established. Firstly, we obtain an equivalent definition for weighted pseudo almost periodic functions, which shows a close relationship between asymptotically almost periodic functions and weighted pseudo almost periodic functions; secondly, we prove that the space of asymptotically almost periodic functions is always a proper subspace of the space of weighted pseudo almost periodic functions; thirdly, we show that under some cases, the space of weighted pseudo almost periodic functions equals the classical space of pseudo almost periodic functions.…”
