Variability of hydrological extreme events in East Asia and their dynamical control: a comparison between observations and two high-resolution global climate models

This work investigates the variability of extreme weather events (drought spells, DS15, and daily heavy rainfall, PR99) over East Asia. It particularly focuses on the large scale atmospheric circulation associ...

Mesothelin-specific cell-based vaccine generates antigen-specific immunity and potent antitumor effects by combining with IL-12 immunomodulator

Ovarian cancer is a gynecologic malignancy with a high mortality rate. In the present study, we developed a novel cell-based vaccine, Meso-VAX, to generate mesothelin antigen-specific immune responses and immu...

Symbiodinium spp. associated with high-latitude scleractinian corals from Jeju Island, South Korea

Most studies on endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium) associated with scleractinian corals focus on tropical and sub-tropical reefs. Their diversity in outlying, non-reef coral communities at hi...

Can benthic algae mediate larval behavior and settlement of the coral Acropora muricata?

The resilience of coral reefs relies significantly on the ability of corals to recover successfully in algal-dominated environments. Larval settlement is a critical but highly vulnerable stage in the early lif...

Comparison of morphological and genetic analyses reveals cryptic divergence and morphological plasticity in Stylophora (Cnidaria, Scleractinia)

A combined morphological and genetic study of the coral genus Stylophora investigated species boundaries in the Gulf of Aden, Yemen. Two mitochondrial regions, including the hypervariable IGS9 spacer and the cont...

Noncarrier naked antigen-specific DNA vaccine generates potent antigen-specific immunologic responses and antitumor effects

Genetic immunization strategies have largely focused on the use of plasmid DNA with a gene gun. However, there remains a clear need to further improve the efficiency, safety, and cost of potential DNA vaccines...

Raman spectroscopy study of the phase transformation on nanocrystalline titania films prepared via metal organic vapour deposition

Raman spectroscopy (RS) was used to study the phase transformations of nanocrytalline TiO₂ thin films. The films were grown by a vertical-flow cold-wall metal organic chemical vapour deposition system, using Ti(C

Growth and characterization of well-aligned rutile TiO₂ nanocrystals on sapphire substrates via metal organic vapour deposition

Well-aligned TiO₂ nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition on sapphire (SA) (100) and (012) substrates, using Ti[OCH(CH₃)₂]₄ as precursor. The surface morphology, structural and...

Connective tissue growth factor linked to the E7 tumor antigen generates potent antitumor immune responses mediated by an antiapoptotic mechanism

A novel method for generating an antigen-specific cancer vaccine and immunotherapy has emerged using a DNA vaccine. However, antigen-presenting cells (APCs) have a limited life span, which hinders their long-t...

Recognition of separate genera within Acropora based on new morphological, reproductive and genetic evidence from Acropora togianensis, and elevation of the subgenus Isopora Studer, 1878 to genus (Scleractinia: Astrocoeniidae; Acroporidae)

Many attempts have been made to recognise divisions within Acropora, the most diverse reef building coral genus on modern reefs, but only subgenera Acropora and Isopora are currently recognised. In this paper, mo...

Occurrence of the putatively heat-tolerant Symbiodinium phylotype D in high-latitudinal outlying coral communities

Biogeographic investigations have suggested that coral-symbiont associations can adapt to higher temperatures by hosting a heat-tolerant Symbiodinium, phylotype D. It is hypothesized that phylotype D is absent in...
