Open AccessSIRT6 is an epigenetic repressor of thoracic aortic aneurysms via inhibiting inflammation and senescence
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) develop asymptomatically and are characterized by dilatation of the aorta. This is considered a life-threating vascular disease due to the risk of aortic rupture and without ef...

Open AccessLife histories determine divergent population trends for fishes under climate warming
Most marine fish species express life-history changes across temperature gradients, such as faster growth, earlier maturation, and higher mortality at higher temperature. However, such climate-driven effects o...

New Methods for Evaluating the Answerscripts of Students Using Fuzzy Sets
In this paper, we present new methods for evaluating the answerscripts of students, where the evaluating values are represented by fuzzy numbers, and an optimism index λ determined by the evaluator is used to ind...
