BACKGROUND: microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in development and are associated with birth defects. Data are scant on the role of miRNAs in birth defects arising from exposure to...
Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) that cause amino acid changes are believed to have a large impact on protein function. It is important to distinguish those deleterious nsSNPs...
Effect of Addition of TiO2/SiO2 Nanoparticles on Hc2 and Hirr in MgB2 Bulks (2008)
Zhang, Y., Soltanian, S., Zhao, Y., Zhou, S., Dou, S. X.
In this paper, MgB2 bulks were prepared with doped TiO2 nanoparticles surface-modified by 5-10% SiO2. Quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to obtain the weight fraction of...

Effect of Sucrose (C12H22O11) Doping on the Critical Current Density of MgB2 (2007)
Zhang, Y., Zhou, S., Pan, A. V., Dou, S. X.
MgB2 bulk samples doped with sucrose were fabricated with the formula MgB2-x Cx ( x= 0, 0.08, 0.12, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5). Appropriate amounts of sucrose corresponding to the desired carbon content were...
Loh, K., Low, L., Wong, W., Zhou, S., Huang, S., Silva, R., ...
It has been well documented that oxidative stress is involved in stroke. Currently, many neuroprotective strategies have been targeted at molecules that are able to act as an oxidant to intervene...
Dou, S. X., Pan, A. V., Zhou, S., Ionescu, M., Wang, X. L., Horvat, J., ...
We investigated the effect of SiC nanoparticle doping on the crystal lattice structure, critical temperature Tc, critical current density Jc, and flux pinning in MgB2 superconductor. A series of...
The Ski oncoprotein interacts with the Smad proteins to repress TGF beta signaling (1999)
Luo, KX, Stroschein, SL, Wang, W, Chen, D, Martens, E, Zhou, S, ...
Smad proteins are critical signal transducers downstream of the receptors of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta) superfamily. On phosphorylation and activation by the active TGF beta...
Estimating the proportion of immunes in a censored sample (1992)
An estimator for the proportion of ‘immunes’ in a population is proposed, when a sample of censored failure times is available. Our suggestion is to use one minus the maximum observed value of...
