Early Cambrian microfossils from the cherts in carbonates of the Kuruktag area, the Tarim block
The basal Cambrian is characteristic for the appearance of small shelly fossils and acanthomorphic acritarchs with relatively small vesicles. In the Tarim Block (NW China) and South China, this microfossil ass...

An In-Depth Measurement Analysis of 5G mmWave PHY Latency and Its Impact on End-to-End Delay
5G aims to offer not only significantly higher throughput than previous generations of cellular networks, but also promises millisecond (ms) and sub-millisecond (ultra-)low latency support at the 5G physical (...

Open AccessGenome-wide characterization and expression profiling of B3 superfamily during ethylene-induced flowering in pineapple (Ananas comosus L.)
The B3 superfamily (B3s) represents a class of large plant-specific transcription factors, which play diverse roles in plant growth and development process including flowering induction. However, identificatio...

Microfossils from nodular cherts in the Middle Ordovician Yijianfang Formation carbonates (Well YJ1X), Tarim Basin, China
Although the micropaleontology of Ordovician deep-sea cherts is relatively well documented, microfossil assemblages in Ordovician shallow-marine cherts are less well-known. Nodular cherts in the Middle Ordovic...

GlobeSnap: An Efficient Globally Consistent Statistics Collection for Software-Defined Networks
Software defined networking (SDN) controller requires crucial statistics like flow-wise statistics from the switches to make decisions related to routing, load balancing, and QoS provisioning. These statistics...

Mining latent patterns in geoMobile data via EPIC
We coin the term geoMobile data to emphasize datasets that exhibit geo-spatial features reflective of human behaviors. We propose and develop an EPIC framework to mine latent patterns from geoMobile data and prov...

Uncovering the nucleus of a massive reciprocal network
Google+ is a directed online social network where nodes have either reciprocal (bidirectional) edges or parasocial (one-way) edges. As reciprocal edges play an important role in the structural properties, formati...

The Yudomski event and subsequent decline: new evidence from δ34S data of lower and middle Cambrian evaporites in the Tarim Basin, western China
Marine evaporitic sulfates (gypsum and anhydrite) can record ancient seawater sulfur isotopic data; however, these records are scarce and widely dispersed owing to both restricted environments in which they fo...

Stromatolites in Middle Ordovician carbonate–evaporite sequences and their carbon and sulfur isotopes stratigraphy, Ordos Basin, northwestern China
At the present day, stromatolites are very rare and limited to high-salinity settings. However, abundant and variable stromatolite fossils occur in thick evaporite sequences, the Middle Ordovician Majiagou For...

Open AccessSeven LncRNA-mRNA based risk score predicts the survival of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Dysregulation of mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is one of the most important features of carcinogenesis and cancer development. However, studies integrating the expression of mRNAs and lncRNAs to pre...

A Virtual Id Routing Protocol for Future Dynamics Networks and Its Implementation Using the SDN Paradigm
In this paper, we propose Virtual Id Routing (VIRO) a novel “plug-&-play” non-IP routing protocol for future dynamics networks. VIRO decouples routing/forwarding from addressing by introducing a topology-aware, s...

Open AccessPositive carbon isotope excursions: global correlation and genesis in the Middle–Upper Ordovician in the northern Tarim Basin, Northwest China
Stable carbon isotope ratio (δ13Ccarb) analysis has been widely applied to the study of the inter-continental or global marine carbonate correlation. Large-scale Cambrian–Ordovician carbonate platforms were devel...

Unfolding the Core Structure of the Reciprocal Graph of a Massive Online Social Network
Google+ (G+ in short) is a directed online social network where nodes have either reciprocal (bidirectional) edges or parasocial (one-way) edges. As reciprocal edges represent strong social ties, we study the cor...

Multivariate Heavy Tails in Complex Networks
It has been shown that many real networks are not only “scale-free” (i.e., having a power-law degree distribution), but also contain more complex structures such as “hierarchy” or “self-similarity” that cannot...
