  • Do Cancer Vaccines Really Work?
    DO CANCER VACCINES REALLY WORK? An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By: Derek Brinkmann Danielle Healy Anthony Kassas Zhuohao Ling IQP-43-DSA-5111 IQP-43-DSA-7932 IQP-43-DSA-8709 IQP-43-DSA-0019 BME & ME BME ChE CS Muhammad Siddiq Isaac Vrooman Eric Williams Zhizhen Wu IQP-43-DSA-3103 IQP-43-DSA-4019 IQP-43-DSA-4086 IQP-43-DSA-3409 ME ChE ME Robotics & CS August 27, 2015 APPROVED: _________________________ Prof. David S. Adams, PhD WPI Project Advisor 1 ABSTRACT The overall goal of this project was to document and evaluate the technology of cancer vaccines, especially the newer more effective versions, to determine whether cancer vaccines are really worth the recent media hype, to document any problems associated with the technique, and to help prioritize future directions. We performed a review of the research literature and conducted interviews with academic cancer researchers. Based on the research performed for this project, our team’s overall conclusion is that, of the six major categories of cancer vaccines, the tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) type vaccines have shown the highest efficacies, with some CAR vaccines producing as high as 90% full cancer remissions in medium-sized (30 patient) studies. We identified several directions for moving the field forward, including using combination vaccines (especially with antibodies for immune checkpoint inhibitors), adjuvants, recall antigens (if the vaccine is delivered into the skin), and identifying and using a patient’s own specific tumor neoantigens.

    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE December 2014 Rooting for the story: Institutional sports journalism in the digital age Brian Peter Moritz Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Moritz, Brian Peter, "Rooting for the story: Institutional sports journalism in the digital age" (2014). Dissertations - ALL. 171. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/171 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This dissertation examines contemporary daily sports journalism through the lenses of media sociology and new institutional theory. In-depth interviews with 25 sports journalists (reporters and editors) identified the institutionalized norms, values, practices and routines of American sports journalism, demonstrated how that institutionalization affects story selection, and showed how the profession is changing due to digital and social media. The interviews show that although traditional sports journalism is highly institutionalized, digital sports journalism is far less so. Traditional sports journalism is still centered around a story, and digital sports journalism follows Robinson’s (2011) journalism-as-process model. The journalists interviewed are expected to perform acts of both traditional and digital journalism during the same work day, which leads to tension in how they do their jobs. Keywords: Sports journalism; media sociology; institutionalism; newspapers; digital news; social media ROOTING FOR THE STORY: INSTITUTIONAL SPORTS JOURNALISM IN THE DIGITAL AGE By Brian P.

    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown El concepto de una tableta plegable capaz de incorporar periféricos, y contar con un sistema operativo hecho a la medida, muestran el interés de Microsoft por lo móvil Autor: Microsoft Publicado: 16/10/2019 | 06:41 pm Microsoft y otro romance con lo plegable Con nuevos productos en la familia Surface, los padres del sistema operativo Windows sorprendieron a todos hace unos días con equipos de hardware muy interesantes en diseño y concepto Publicado: Miércoles 16 octubre 2019 | 09:01:18 pm. Publicado por: Yurisander Guevara Plegable. Esa es la palabra clave que define a Microsoft este año, según trascendió en su evento anual de presentación de nuevos productos, celebrado hace dos semana. Mientras todos esperaban alguna luz acerca de Windows 10, solo llegó un relámpago llamado Windows 10X —que no deja de ser un concepto interesante—, pues Microsoft se encontraba enfrascado en nuevos proyectos de los que nadie sabía. Sus nombres: Surface Neo y Surface Duo. Sobre estos equipos de hardware y otras novedades les contamos a continuación. Surface Duo Image not found or type unknown Microsoft espera triunfar en el apartado móvil con el Surface Duo, un teléfono con dos pantallas. ¿Finalmente lo logrará? Un teléfono plegable con dos pantallas y Android como sistema operativo. Así se puede definir el regreso de Microsoft al mercado de los smartphones, luego de la presentación del Surface Duo. El equipo no sigue el concepto de pantalla plegable que hemos visto en otros dispositivos como el Samsung Galaxy Fold, sino que consiste en dos pantallas separadas, de 5,6 pulgadas cada una, y un sistema de bisagras que permite rotarlas en 360 grados.

Pomerantz ,∗ M. Quadrelli ,∗ P. Shakkotai ,{ K.Tso ∗ Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, 91109 As part of the Space Exploration Analysis and Simulation (SEAS) task, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is using physics-based simulations at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to explore potential surface and near-surface mission op- erations at Near Earth Objects (NEOs). The simulator is under development at JPL and can be used to provide detailed analysis of various surface and near-surface NEO robotic and human exploration concepts. In this paper we describe the SEAS simulator and pro- vide examples of recent mission systems and operations concepts investigated using the simulation. We also present related analysis work and tools developed for both the SEAS task as well as general modeling, analysis and simulation capabilites for asteroid/small-body objects. The SEAS simulator incorporates high-fidelity models of the NEO environment includ- ing its irregular geometry, the gravity field, and the effect of perturbing forces such as other body gravity fields and solar pressure. A local regolith model consisting of many individual irregular particles interacting through friction and cohesive forces can be used to model the details of contact events at or below the NEO surface. The NEO orbit is propagated from planetary ephemerides data and the option is available to model its rotation using either a kinematic or dynamics model.

  • Proposed Rulemaking on July 21, 2020, and We Are Submitting It for Publication in the Federal Register
    The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Andrew Wheeler, signed the following Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on July 21, 2020, and we are submitting it for publication in the Federal Register. While we have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this Internet version of the Proposal, it is not the official version. Please refer to the official version in a forthcoming Federal Register publication, which will appear on the Government Printing Office’s FDSys website (www.gpo.gov/fdsys/search/home.action) and on Regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov) in Docket No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2018-0276. Once the official version of this document is published in the Federal Register, this version will be removed from the Internet and replaced with a link to the official version. 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Parts 87 and 1030 [EPA–HQ–OAR–2018–0276; FRL-10010-88-OAR] RIN 2060-AT26 Control of Air Pollution from Airplanes and Airplane Engines: GHG Emission Standards and Test Procedures AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule. __________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards applicable to certain classes of engines used by certain civil subsonic jet airplanes with a maximum takeoff mass greater than 5,700 kilograms and by certain civil larger subsonic propeller-driven airplanes with turboprop engines having a maximum takeoff mass greater than 8,618 kilograms. These proposed standards are equivalent to the airplane CO2 standards adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 2017 and would apply to both new type design airplanes and in-production airplanes.
