Quantitative impact of immunomodulation versus oncolysis with cytokine-expressing virus therapeutics by Peter S. Kim, Joseph J. Crivelli, Il-Kyu Choi, Chae-Ok Yun, Joanna R. Wares

“…In addition, we found that combinations of specialist viruses that express either IL-12 or 4-1BBL might initially act more potently against tumors than a generalist virus that simultaneously expresses both, but the advantage is likely not large enough to replace treatment using the generalist virus. Finally, according to our model and its current assumptions, virotherapy appears to be optimizable through targeted design and treatment combinations to substantially improve therapeutic outcomes.…”

Network representations of drum sequences for classification and generation by Daniel Gómez-Marín, Daniel Gómez-Marín, Sergi Jordà, Perfecto Herrera

“…Second, we present a generative model based on Markov chains operating on the network structure, which is able to produce new drum patterns that retain the essential features of the training data. Finally, we validate the perceptual relevance of the generated patterns through listening tests, where participants are unable to distinguish the generated patterns from the original ones, suggesting that the network-based representation effectively captures the underlying characteristics of different drumming styles. …”

A Novel Space Large Deployable Paraboloid Structure with Power and Communication Integration by Tao Zheng, Zheng Fei, Xi Rui, Lide Yan

“…Then, through simulation analyses of the deploying process, static force at a limit orientation, and sun tracking process of the SSPCI, it is proved that the SSPCI is feasible and has satisfactory performance. Finally, deploying experiments of the folded hoop of the CMMR and sun tracking experiments of the TER pointing mechanism on the ground were carried out successfully, which proves that the folded hoop can be deployed successfully with fairly high deploying dependability, and the TER pointing mechanism is feasible for the SSPCI from the mechanism principle and the control mode in space applications indirectly. …”

Más allá de la crisis económica: subsunción real de la naturaleza al capital y crisis ecológica by Ignacio Sabbatella

“…Thus, the incorporation of the concept of nature subsumed to capital is proposed, in order to characterize the growing process of capitalist appropriation of natural surroundings and the creation of a second nature. Finally, as a corollary to the ecological crisis, there arises an increase in environmental inequality and, therefore, an increase in environmental conflict.…”
