QCD radiative correction to color-octet inclusive production at B Factories
In nonrelativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD), we study the
next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD radiative correction to the color-octet
inclusive production at B Factories. Compared with the leading-order
(LO) result, the NLO QCD corrections are found to enhance the short-distance
coefficients in the color-octet production by a factor of about 1.9. Moreover, the
peak at the endpoint in the energy distribution predicted at LO can be
smeared by the NLO corrections, but the major color-octet contribution still
comes from the large energy region of . By fitting the latest data of
observed by Belle, we
find that the values of color-octet matrix elements are much smaller than
expected earlier by using the naive velocity scaling rules or extracted from
fitting experimental data with LO calculations. As the most stringent
constraint by setting the color-singlet contribution to be zero in
, we get an upper limit of the
color-octet matrix element, at NLO in .Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
Some Thoughts on the Dynamics of Federal Trademark Legislation and the Trademark Dilution Act of 1995
Basic transcription factor 3 (BTF3) is a general RNA polymerase II transcription factor and is also involved in apoptosis regulation. Increasing evidence shows that BTF3 is aberrantly expressed in several kinds of malignancies, but there is no study to analyze BTF3 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Applying immunohistochemistry, we detected BTF3 in CRCs (n = 156), the corresponding distant (n = 42), adjacent normal mucosa (n = 96), lymph node metastases (n = 35), and analyzed its relationships with clinicopathological and biological variables. Our results showed that BTF3 staining significantly increased from distant or adjacent normal mucosa to primary CRCs (p < 0.0001) or metastases (p = 0.002 and p < 0.0001). BTF3 was higher in distal cancers than in proximal cancers (57 % vs. 39 %, p = 0.041). It also showed stronger staining in primary CRCs stage I and II than that in stage III and IV (64 % vs. 35 %, p = 0.0004), or metastases (64 % vs. 29 %, p = 0.004). Cancers with better differentiation had a higher expression than those with worse differentiation (56 % vs. 37 %, p = 0.031). There were positive correlations of BTF3 expression with nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), RAD50, MRE11, NBS1, and AEG-1 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, BTF3 overexpression may be an early event in CRC development and could be useful biomarker for the early stage of CRCs. BTF3 has positive correlations with NF-κB, RAD50, MRE11, NBS1 and AEG-1, and might influence complex signal pathways in CRC
2,2′,4,4′,6,6′-Hexamethyl-N-(3-phthalimidopropyl)-N,N′-(propane-1,3-diyl)dibenzenesulfonamide
In the title compound, C32H38N3O6S2, an intermediate in the synthesis of polyamine drugs, the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings of the two 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl groups is 27.1 (3)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thereby forming an infinite one-dimensional chain propagating along [010]

The complete molecule of the title compound, C24H30N4O4S2, is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules, forming infinite sheets
Examining Scientific Writing Styles from the Perspective of Linguistic Complexity
Publishing articles in high-impact English journals is difficult for scholars
around the world, especially for non-native English-speaking scholars (NNESs),
most of whom struggle with proficiency in English. In order to uncover the
differences in English scientific writing between native English-speaking
scholars (NESs) and NNESs, we collected a large-scale data set containing more
than 150,000 full-text articles published in PLoS between 2006 and 2015. We
divided these articles into three groups according to the ethnic backgrounds of
the first and corresponding authors, obtained by Ethnea, and examined the
scientific writing styles in English from a two-fold perspective of linguistic
complexity: (1) syntactic complexity, including measurements of sentence length
and sentence complexity; and (2) lexical complexity, including measurements of
lexical diversity, lexical density, and lexical sophistication. The
observations suggest marginal differences between groups in syntactical and
lexical complexity.Comment: 6 figure
