CAR T cells for treating autoimmune diseases by Dimitrios Mougiakakos, Ulrike Koehl, Stephan Fricke, Ulrich Blache, Sandy Tretbar

“…We will cover first clinical results of applying anti-CD19 and anti-B cell maturation antigen CAR T cells for B cell elimination in systemic lupus erythematosus, refractory antisynthetase syndrome and myasthenia gravis, respectively. Furthermore, in preclinical models, researchers have also developed chimeric autoantibody receptor T cells that can eliminate individual B cell clones producing specific autoantibodies, and regulatory CAR T cells that do not eliminate autoreactive immune cells but dampen their wrong activation. …”

Design and optimization of a spiral separator for enhanced chromite recovery and sustainability by Navid Hosseini Alaee, Jafar Sargheyni, Mehdi Pezeshkan, Pooria Kianoush

“…Utilizing advanced mathematical modeling techniques, including Reynolds-averaged turbulent Navier-Stokes equations and the Bagnold effect, the study simulates slurry behavior on the spiral separator's surface and the segregation of light and heavy materials. The innovative design of the spiral separator incorporates unique geometric features that enhance particle stratification, leading to significant improvements in operational performance. …”

Design and Motion Simulation of the Drive Mechanism of Oil-immersed Transformer Spherical Detection Robots by Zhou Jiajun, Wu Binghui, Ji Dongmei, Deng Yangtai

“…Based on the advantages of Simscape parametric modeling, the Simscape physical model is established, and then the influence of different pendulum lengths on the upward and downward fluctuation amplitude and forward speed of spherical robots is analyzed by changing the radial position of the heavy hammer. At the same time, according to the simulation comparison and the bearing capacity of the instrument inside the spherical robot, the appropriate drive mechanism scheme is selected. …”

The Battle of Žalgiris / Grunwald: Unanswered Questions by Alfredas Bumblauskas

“…The sources unambiguously speak about three corps of the army of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania whose gonfanons could contain two major heraldic signs - Vytis (the State emblem of Lithuania - the White Knight astride a leaping stallion) and the Pillars of Gediminaičiai (one of the major symbols of statehood), as well as forming of corps in wedges. The quantity of the heavy mounted soldiers in the tactics of wedge is not decisive - to form spearheads of three corps or wedges the heavy mounted soldiers from the Duke's elite could have sufficed Lithuania, especially having in mind Vytautas' attempts to modernize the army of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before the battle. …”
