Summary: Immunotherapy targeting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is a promising approach to treating cancer.However, the limited drug targets and ambiguous mechanisms impede the development of clinical immunotherapy strategies.To elucidate the underlying processes involved in mononuclear phagocyte (MNP) infiltration and phenotypic changes in he
There are two symptoms of wilting in banana plants that have been widely known, namely fusarium wilt DUCKBILL CLIP and bacterial wilt.The symptoms of banana wilt usually are attributed to pathogenic fungi.Wilting symptoms on the leaves are usually accompanied by leaf spot, leaf streak, leaf speckle and anthracnose.Recent quarantine pest reports hav
Evaluation of patients with acute kidney injury requires comprehensive assessment that includes a urinalysis, which features both semi-quantitative assessment with a urine dipstick and urine microscopy.This process is labor intensive for clinical laboratories, and availability of excellent automated instruments for urinalysis has prompted utilizati
This paper presents the design analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) system to power the CAD/CAM Laboratory at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Port Harcourt.Life cycle cost and break-even point analyses are also carried out to assess the economic viability of the system.The unit cost of electricity for the designed PV system is hi
A modified Hartmann tube apparatus was used to study the explosivity properties of dusts from torrefied biomass pellets.The sensitivity of Holiday Kits the dusts to explode was assessed by determining the minimum ignition energies (MIE) and the minimum explosible concentrations (MEC).The severity of the explosion was evaluated by flame front veloci
