Abstract Background We have previously reported that p53 mutated radioresistant lymphoma cell lines undergo mitotic catastrophe after irradiation, resulting in metaphase arrest and the generation of endopolyploid cells.A proportion of these endopolyploid cells then undergo a process of de-polyploidisation, stages of which are partially reminiscent
(1) Background: Let the continuous parameter X be a proxy variable for the outcome of an intervention R.Quasi-experimental studies are designed to evaluate the effect of R over X when forming a randomized control group (without the intervention) is horseshoe chocolate mold impractical or/and unethical.The most popular quasi-experimental design, the
Due to the huge number of objects/things connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) which are embedded with electronics, software, and sensors, the IoT creates many exciting applications such as smart grids, smart homes, and smart cities.In the IoT, the sensing and control of objects/things can be abstracted as a task, in which many sensing devices
