A QoS routing strategy using fuzzy logic for NGEO satellite IP networks
AbstractWe present a fuzzy satellite routing strategy (FSRS) for NGEO satellite IP networks to meet multi-class QoS demands. A set of fuzzy rules is established to map the congestion degrees and the...

AbstractWheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV), a member of Bymovirus, is a plant pathogenic virus transmitted by the soil-borne plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis. The in planta titer of the virus must be...
View ArticlePrognostic role of microRNA-21 expression in gliomas: a meta-analysis
AbstractMicroRNA-21 (miRNA-21) has recently been shown to be a promising prognostic tumor biomarker. However, few studies have not supported this idea and have shown inconsistent data. Thus, we...

AbstractDeregulated expression of miRNAs contributes to the development of osteosarcoma. Our previous study has showed that miR-503 was downregulated in osteosarcoma tissues. However, the mechanism of...
View ArticleDetection of Co-salient Objects by Looking Deep and Wide
AbstractIn this paper, we propose a unified co-salient object detection framework by introducing two novel insights: (1) looking deep to transfer higher-level representations by using the convolutional...
