To strengthen the cooperation and exchange withworldfirst-class universities and explore new channels for joint students training in the post COVID-19era,theOffice of International Affairsof Nankai University, together with College of Computer Science, College of Artificial Intelligence, and College of Chinese Language and Culture of Nankai University, successfully held two sessions of WorldFirst-class University Exchange Program forpartneruniversities in the summer of 2021.Nearly 70 students at

According to Newtons second law, acceleration occurs when the combined external force on an object is not zero. However, there are phenomena in nature that acceleration can be achieved without external forces. For example, radial acceleration based on negative masses - where positive and negative masses interact with each other and continue to accelerate in the same direction; or self-acceleration based on wave packet interference, which is essentially a dispersion effect with an endogenous grav

The RNA polymerase II-related factor 1 (Paf1) complex is a multisubunit complex that is highly conserved in eukaryotes and consists of Ctr9, Paf1, Leo1, Cdc73 and Rtf1, and the human Paf1 complex also contains an additional subunit, Ski8. The Paf1 complex has been reported to be involved in a variety of cellular life activities and associated with the development of different tumors, and almost all of these processes are associated with post-translational modifications of transcriptionally coupl
