Study on Optimal Regulation Model of Water Supply and Distribution Quantity in Irrigation Canal System Based on Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm by NONG Xizhi, LI Zhongan, JING Zheng, YE Ye

“…This paper took the three trunk canals of Zhanghe Irrigation District in Hubei Province as the research object, established an optimal water distribution model for irrigation canals under the comprehensive influence of the multistage canal system and multiple factors, and used the meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, namely Cuckoo search algorithm to solve the model. compared with the measured water distribution process, the irrigation duration of the optimized water distribution model and the conventional water distribution model was 13.2 d and 13.5 d, respectively, and the water distribution time was reduced by 45.00% and 43.75%. The process of water distribution flow was stable, which could effectively reduce the adjustment times of the gate. …”

Evaluation of Positron Emission Tomographic Tracers for Imaging of Papillomavirus-Induced Tumors in Rabbits by Sonja Probst, Stefan Wiehr, Frederic Mantlik, Holger Schmidt, Armin Kolb, Peter Münch, Maria Delcuratolo, Frank Stubenrauch, Bernd J. Pichler, Thomas Iftner

“…Increased tracer uptake was found 2 months postinfection in primary tumors with 18 F-FDG and 11 C-choline, whereas 18 F-FLT failed to detect the tumors at all measured time points. Our data show that the PET tracer 18 F-FDG is superior for imaging papillomavirus-induced tumors in rabbits compared to 11 C-choline and 18 F-FLT. …”

The “Trojan Horse” Approach to Tumor Immunotherapy: Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment by Delia Nelson, Scott Fisher, Bruce Robinson

“…The “Trojan Horse” approach of intratumoural delivery aims to promote immune-mediated destruction by inducing microenvironmental changes within the tumour at the same time as avoiding the systemic toxicity that is often associated with more “full frontal” treatments such as transfer of large numbers of laboratory-expanded tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes or large intravenous doses of cytokine. …”
