    Wan-Jung Chen Cello Recital Program Notes

    No full text
    The two pieces chosen for the program are from the works during the Russian Romantic period, namely, Rococo Variations, Op. 33 by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Sonata in G Minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 19 by Sergei Rachmaninoff. Despite the vast amount of compositions written by Tchaikovsky, Tchaikovsky unfortunately did not write a concerto for the cello during his lifetime. Hence, Rococo Variations, Op. 33 could possibly serve as a substitute for this absence. The Sonata in G Minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 19 by Rachmaninoff is also Rachmaninoff's sole written sonata for cello and piano and his last composition for chamber music. As such, these two works are profoundly cherished by the community of cellists throughout the world

    A Knowledge Distribution Model to Support an Author in Narrative Creation

    No full text
    Adjusting the knowledge of characters and the reader is a critical task for an author in narrative creation. Throughout a narrative, both characters and the reader experience events according to their own timelines and perspectives. They interpret information accumulated through their experience and update knowledge to the narrative-world which the author constructed. In this paper, we present a Knowledge Distribution Model which supports an author in finely controlling the knowledge of characters and the reader. Within the model, the Knowledge Structure is constructed by connecting event, information, and knowledge. The Knowledge State is evaluated as the degree of belief under the knowledge structure. We adopted a probabilistic reasoning model to calculate the knowledge state. The change in knowledge state, defined as Knowledge Flow, is visually presented to the author. We designed a GUI prototype to implement the proposed modeling process, and demonstrated the knowledge flow with an actual cinematic narrative

    The stem cell E3-ligase Lin-41 promotes liver cancer progression through inhibition of microRNA-mediated gene silencing

    No full text
    Lin-41 is a stem cell-specific E3 ligase and a known target of the tumour suppressor microRNA (miRNA) let-7. Lin-41 was recently reported to mediate ubiquitylation and degradation of the miRNA pathway protein Ago2. We demonstrate that Lin-41 is over-expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Lin-41 over-expression correlates with high a-fetoprotein level, high tumour grade and high tumour stage and predicts early tumour recurrence. Lin-41 is a strong predictor of poor long-term survival for patients with HCC. Lin-41 knock-down by RNA interference in HCC cell lines Huh7 and Hep3B suppressed proliferation in vitro and reduced in vivo tumour growth in NOD/SCID mice. On the other hand, over-expression of Lin-41 in the HCC cell line SK-Hep1 enhanced tumourigenicity. Over-expression and knock-down of Lin-41 led to inverse changes in the levels of Ago1 and Ago2 proteins. Over-expression of Ago1 and Ago2 reduced in vivo tumour growth. Lin-41 over-expression suppressed let-7 activity in HCC cell lines and expression of Lin-41 enhanced the expression of let-7-regulated oncogenes c-Myc, Lin-28B, HMGA2 and type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R). Expression of Lin-28B and c-Myc enhanced the expression of Lin-41. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and reporter assays revealed direct association of c-Myc with the Lin-41 promoter, resulting in transcriptional transactivation. Our results indicate that Lin-41 plays an important role in the growth of HCC by regulating RISC complex proteins Ago1 and Ago2 to inhibit miRNA-mediated gene silencing and promote the expression of oncogenic proteins. Lin-41 is also a strong prognostic factor for patients with HCC. Copyright (C) 2012 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

    Statistical properties of chaotic microcavities in small and large opening cases

    No full text
    We study the crossover behavior of statistical properties of eigenvalues in a chaotic microcavity with different refractive indices. The level spacing distributions change from Wigner to Poisson distributions, as the refractive index of a microcavity decreases. We propose a non-Hermitian matrix model with random elements describing the spectral properties of the chaotic microcavity, which exhibits the crossover behaviors as the opening strength increases.© 2019 Author(s)
