Chordoma is a relatively rare and locally aggressive malignant tumor. Sirtuin (SIRT)5 plays pivotal roles in various tumors, but the role of SIRT5 in chordoma has not been found. This study was performed to investigate the regulatory effects of SIRT5 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and the underlying mechanism in chordoma.

This study is to determine impacts of the dynamics of digital transformation as a strategic choice of banks on their performance under constant changes of technology, notably financial technologies and relatively stable market conditions such as macroeconomic policies, legal framework and industry structure. A sample of 23 Listed Commercial Banks in Vietnam was used that is based on the availability of ICT readiness index as a measure for the banks’ initial stages to prepare for digital transformation journey.

Developing strength of social ties between buying and supplying organizations is increasingly cited as a critical differentiator of high and low performers in educational supply chains. While the creation of relational capital within an organization is a relatively well identified concept in organizational research, comparatively little research exists on the bonding and bridging social ties that create relational value in educational supply chains.

LncRNA N6-methylandenosine (m6A) modification has been shown to be associated with the constitution of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumorigenesis. It’s essential to understand the mechanisms of lncRNA m6A modification in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and identify relative prognostic predictors to guide therapy and explore potential therapeutic targets. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to identify m6A-related lncRNAs in 374 patients with HCC.

The aim of this study is to assess the performance and the efficiency of the aviation industry in the Asia-Pacific region through two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In the first stage, the relative efficiency was measured through a Window model in DEA. Then, at the second stage, the efficiency improvement was examined by the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI).

We report a simple design of a water-based broadband metamaterial absorber in the terahertz region. The absorption performance of the designed absorber is simulated using numerical method. Due to the large frequency dispersive permittivity and high relative dielectric loss of water, the bandwidth of the proposed absorber can extend.

This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations to assess the relative fire structural resistance of thermo-mechanically compressed (or densified) spruce wood. First of all, both compressed and uncompressed spruce samples of dimensions of 100 mm x 100 mm x 19 mm have been subjected to fire in a cone calorimeter under 20 kW/m2 and 75 kW/m2.

Despite the success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), there still remains “missing heritability” for many traits. One contributing factor may be the result of examining one marker at a time as opposed to a group of markers that are biologically meaningful in aggregate.

This thesis represents the first comprehensive study on the performance (raw and risk-adjusted), performance persistence, and market timing ability of the equity funds in Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Funds (MPF) scheme during the period 2001 – 2004. Regardless of the measure used (Jensen single-index alpha measure, Fama-French three-factor alpha measure, and modified Jensen alpha controlled by changes in exchange rates), US equity funds and Pacific-Basin excluding Japan equity funds, are found to consistently underperform relative to the market.

The objective of this project was to develop \(Ti{O_2}\) based multifunctional substrates through silver decoration, while simultaneously enhancing the photocatalytic performance of \(Ti{O_2}\) in the substrate. Employing Ag nanoparticles introduced additional functionality to the system, namely surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), thus enabling the detection of trace amounts of organic molecules prior to their degradation, all with the same substrate.

The thesis contributes to the economics literature by providing a theoretical and empirical investigation of the effects of changes in the relative size of government on Australian economic performance. The theoretical literature indicates that an expansion in government size is likely to induce adverse effects upon economic growth for a host of reasons.

Let’s Play videos are the practice whereby a videogame player records their experience to share with a future audience. They are an emergent form of cultural activity that has been relatively overlooked within the field of game studies. This thesis seeks to ask: how can access to videogame play moments (and performativity) provide insights into the understanding the dynamics of videogame play experience? This thesis approaches Let’s Play videos as a way in which to expand our understandings of videogame research.

Crossover localization during meiotic recombination is mediated by the fast-evolving zinc-finger (ZnF) domain of gene PRDM9. To study its impact on dairy cattle performance, we compared its genetic variation between the relatively small Israeli (IL) Holsteins and the North American (US) Holsteins that count millions.

Global and local ancestry inference in admixed human populations can be performed using computational tools implementing distinct algorithms. The development and resulting accuracy of these tools has been tested largely on populations with relatively straightforward admixture histories but little is known about how well they perform in more complex admixture scenarios.
