An Iterative Method for Horizontal Tensor Complementarity Problems
In this paper, we focus on a class of horizontal tensor complementarity problems (HTCPs). By introducing the block representative tensor, we show that finding a solution of HTCP is equivalent to finding a nonn...

Open AccessMapping recurrent mosaic copy number variation in human neurons
When somatic cells acquire complex karyotypes, they often are removed by the immune system. Mutant somatic cells that evade immune surveillance can lead to cancer. Neurons with complex karyotypes arise during ...

Rumen fluid pretreatment promotes anaerobic methane production: revealing microbial dynamics driving increased acid yield from different concentrations of corn straw
In this work, the corn straw (CS) with concentrations of 3%, 6%, and 9% (w/v) were pretreated by rumen fluid (RF) and then used for batched mesophilic biogas production. The results showed that after a 6-day p...
