Improved Generalized Single-Source Tangential Equivalence Principle Algorithm with Contact-Region Modeling Method for Array Structures by Yao Han, Hanru Shao, Jianfeng Dong

“…An improved generalized single-source tangential equivalence principle algorithm (GSST-EPA) is proposed for analyzing array structures with connected elements. In order to use the advantages of GSST-EPA, the connected array elements are decomposed and computed by a contact-region modeling (CRM) method, which makes that each element has the same meshes. …”

Spatially Correlated Network Structure and Influencing Factors of Carbon Emission Efficiency in the Power Industry: Evidence from China by Baojun Sun, Taiwen Feng, Mingjing Du, Yuqing Liang, Tianbao Feng

“…The results show that (1) the national CEEP is gradually increasing, while the CEEP gap between provinces is widening; (2) the overall network size shows an increasing trend, but the hierarchical structure is somewhat fixed; (3) the central province of a network has a high degree of consistency with the geographically central province, but the spatial spillover effect of the central node provinces on the peripheral provinces is not sufficient; and (4) differences in geographic proximity, energy intensity, and technical level of power generation significantly affect the formation of spatially correlated networks in the CEEP.…”

STING agonist-based treatment promotes vascular normalization and tertiary lymphoid structure formation in the therapeutic melanoma microenvironment by Walter J Storkus, Ronald J Fecek, Manoj Chelvanambi, Jennifer L Taylor

“…Enhancement of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) is a critical element of efficacious therapy and one that may be achieved via administration of agents that promote tumor vascular normalization (VN) and/or induce the development of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within the tumor microenvironment (TME).Methods Low-dose stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist ADU S-100 (5 µg/mouse) was delivered intratumorally to established subcutaneous B16.F10 melanomas on days 10, 14 and 17 post-tumor inoculation. …”
