Abstract:
Advances in RNA biology have led to the development of nucleic acid therapeutic agents targeting RNA. Such agents are small oligonucleotides of diverse structures and chemistries that resemble standard pharmacotherapeutics more than conventional gene therapies, with the ability to yield a range of therapeutic transformations on different types of target RNA.

During the 1980s, the country was widely perceived as the world’s strongest supporter of terrorism.The United States in particular saw Libya under the leadership of Muammar el-Qaddafi as a “rogue state” posing a serious threat to U.S. national security interests.This fear was confi

Abstract:
Bioterrorism is the deliberate misuse of a pathogen (virus, bacterium or other disease-causing microorganisms) or biotoxin (poisonous substance produced by an organism) to cause illness and death amongst the population. Bioterrorism and biological warfare (biowarfare) are terms often used interchangeably. However, bioterrorism is typically attributed to the politically motivated use of biological weapons by a rogue state, terrorist organisation or rogue individual whereas biological warfare refers to a country’s use of bioweapons. Although rare, bioterrorism is a rapidly evolving threat to glo

Abstract:
This paper introduces the Symmetric Extensible Quantum Secret Sharing protocol, a novel quantum protocol for secret sharing. At its heart, it is an entanglement-based protocol that relies on the use of maximally entangled GHZ tuples, evenly distributed among the players, endowing the spymaster with the ability to securely share a secret message with the agents. Its security stems from the fact that it is highly improbable for a malicious eavesdropper or a rogue double agent to disrupt its successful execution. It is characterized by symmetry, since all agents are treated indiscriminately, util

This paper presents a new quantum secret sharing scheme featuring a (k, n) threshold and built-in verification. This innovative protocol takes advantage of entanglement and unfolds in three distinct phases. In anticipation of the coming of the distributed quantum computing era, this protocol is designed to function entirely in parallel within a fully distributed environment, where the spymaster and her agents are located in different places. This is a significant shift from most similar protocols that assume that all information recipients are in one location. The spymaster can send all necess

Abstract The incidence of penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) in Puerto Rico is nearly three times higher when compared with other racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Mortality rate for PSCC is also significantly higher among Puerto Rican men when compared to the US population. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus, and its infection may increase the risk of developing PeCa. Despite the high incidence, the molecular mechanism of PSCC remains poorly understood. Our laboratory found that the prevalence of HPV in PSCC in Puerto Rican men is 49%. Due to the high rates of HPV in

Abstract:
Abstract MSI measurements are typically made on DNA, but it would be useful to make similar measurements from RNA or total nucleic acid inputs (TNA), so that MSI determinations could be made in parallel to interrogation of the RNA. Doing so requires characterizations of microsatellite lengths from those which are transcribed and untranscribed, because both will be detected following cDNA creation. Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs when small unit repeats of DNA undergo incorrect replication resulting in the growth or contraction of the number of repeats in the newly synthesized DNA. This

We investigated the degree to which crop raiding by elephants in the Red Volta Valley is a function of: the density and diversity of their natural browse, extent of degradation of their habitat, and proximity of crop enclaves to the nearest forest boundary. We assessed 50 m x 5 m quadrats for browse and for agents of degradation (m 2 of quadrat area clear-felled, burned, and surface mined), and we adopted records of crop-raiding rates in 2000–2002 for correlation with habitat variables. We estimated the distance of affected enclaves from the forest, river and village using GIS; the total size

Acute myeloid leukemias (AML), the most lethal forms of blood cancer, are genomic instability disorders primarily driven by somatic mutations that greatly impact proliferation and survival of mutant clones1. The multistep mechanism of disease progression can be attributed, in part, to the defects in one or more pathways involving responses to, or repair of, damaged DNA (DD) and base excision repair (BER). The basal levels of DD and BER are higher in myeloid leukemias due to higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated accumulation of 8-oxyguanine (8-OG)2. Poly(ADP) Ribosylation (PAR

Abstract I present a theoretical framework that links different configurations of organized violence to global patterns in foreign direct investment (FDI). Insurgents, states, and rogue government agents all use violence for political purposes (i.e., incapacitating rivals), but they vary in how they use violence for economic purposes (i.e., generating income). Applying Olson’s (1993) concepts of “roving” and “stationary” banditry, I hypothesize that violence perpetrated by rebels and rogue agents indeed depresses a host country’s commercial appeal, but that violence perpetrated willfully by th

Consensus achievement plays a crucial role as the swarm needs to agree on a solution collectively. This task can be even more challenging considering noise and malfunctioning or even rogue agents.

The wide adoption and use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has created not only opportunities but also threats to the security of sensitive areas. Thus, effective and efficient counter-drone systems are required to protect these areas.

The aim of the proposed RL approach is to optimize the joint mobility and power control actions of the pursuer UAVs in order to maximize the received jammi
