IDENTIFICATION OF NOMINAL DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AIRCRAFT GAS TEMPERATURE SENSORS by A. F. Sabitov, I. A. Safina

“…The aim of the study was to develop methods of recalculation of a test results of a limited number of gas temperature sensors that were received at certified airflow equipment and to get nominal dynamic characteristics of a particular type of gas temperature sensors in the anticipated operating conditions.This study offers the algorithm for the identification of the nominal dynamic characteristics of gas temperature sensors that are used to measure the temperature of gases in aircraft gas turbine engines. The algorithm makes it possible to 1) register the transient characteristics of gas temperature sensors of a particular type at a predetermined rate of air flow, 2) calculate the heat transfer coefficient between the gas temperature sensors and the air flow at each airflow rate, 3) measure the average transient characteristics of the gas temperature sensors at each airflow rate, 4) set the parameters of the hyperbolic function of the nominal variables of the time constants of selected gas temperature sensors from the heat transfer coefficient. …”

Off-the-shelf CAR-NK cells targeting immunogenic cell death marker ERp57 execute robust antitumor activity and have a synergistic effect with ICD inducer oxaliplatin by Jichao Sun, Dinglan Wu, Liuhai Zheng, Huifang Wang, Jihao Zhou, Guangwei Shi, Jingbo Ma, Yuke Jiang, Zhiyu Dong, Jiexuan Li, Yuan-Qiao He, Chengchao Xu, Zhijie Li, Jigang Wang

“…Background Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) therapy holds great promise for treating hematologic tumors, but its efficacy in solid tumors is limited owing to the lack of suitable targets and poor infiltration of engineered NK cells. Here, we explore whether immunogenic cell death (ICD) marker ERp57 translocated from endoplasmic reticulum to cell surface after drug treatment could be used as a target for CAR-NK therapy.Methods To target ERp57, a VHH phage display library was used for screening ERp57-targeted nanobodies (Nbs). …”
