Toughening Ceramics, Shi Lei, Zhu Yue-feng, Zhang Chan, Liang Ji

ABSTRACT: A heterocoagulation process was adopted to disperse homogenously multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into alumina powders via liquid medium and deposit uniform CNTs on the surfaces of...

Implication of heme oxygenase-1 in the sensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinomas to radiotherapy (2008)

Shi Lei, Fang Jun

Abstract High expression of the inducible isoform of heme oxygenase (HO-1) is well known in various solid tumors in human and experimental animal models. To investigate the relationship between HO-1...

Promoter methylation inhibits BRD7 expression in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (2008)

Liu Huaying, Zhang Liming, Niu Zhaoxia, Zhou Ming, Peng Cong, Li Xiayu, ...

Abstract Background Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a head and neck malignancy with high occurrence in South-East Asia and Southern China. Recent findings suggest that epigenetic inactivation of...

A probabilistic framework to predict protein function from interaction data integrated with semantic knowledge (2008)

Cho Young-Rae, Shi Lei, Ramanathan Murali, Zhang Aidong

Abstract Background The functional characterization of newly discovered proteins has been a challenge in the post-genomic era. Protein-protein interactions provide insights into the functional...

Building a protein name dictionary from full text: a machine learning term extraction approach (2005)

Shi Lei, Campagne Fabien

Abstract Background The majority of information in the biological literature resides in full text articles, instead of abstracts. Yet, abstracts remain the focus of many publicly available literature...

Quantum computing by pairing trapped ultracold ions (2000)

Mang, Feng, Xiwen, Zhu, Kelin, Gao, Lei, Shi

The superpositional wave function oscillations for finite-time implementation of quantum algorithms modifies the desired interference required for quantum computing. We propose a scheme with trapped...

Genetic Analysis of nif Regulatory Genes by Utilizing the Yeast Two-Hybrid System Detected Formation of a NifL-NifA Complex That Is Implicated in Regulated Expression of nif Genes

Lei, Shi, Pulakat, Lakshmidevi, Gavini, Narasaiah

In diazotrophic organisms, nitrogenase synthesis and activity are tightly regulated. Two genes, nifL and nifA, are implicated as playing a major role in this regulation. NifA is a transcriptional...
