In particular we will focus on the following questions: (1) What is the clinical and prognostic impact of natural immune response mechanisms (2) What are the escape mechanisms developed by the tumor which limit the efficiency of the immune system and/or immunotherapy (3) What is the impact ...
Despite progress in understanding the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the development of effective therapeutic strategies is a challenging task that requires more research to attain its full potential. This review discusses current pharmacotherapy in atherosclerosis and explores the potential of some important...
The assessment and control of microbial contamination in health care facilities is presently a mandatory and vital part of strategies to prevent and control hospital-acquired infections. This study aims to assess the bioburden with two passive sampling methods (30 ventilations grids swabs and 16 elect...
On the whole, the contribution of industrial structure or regional factors is always small. Then, this study explores the provincial energy-saving development path based on the actual conditions of all provinces. Keywords: energy consumption; regional disparities; quantile regression; Shapley value 1....
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the main natural auxin, but some plants contain other compounds that display weak auxin activity (e.g., phenylacetic acid). Several synthetic auxins (e.g., 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, 1-NAA) are often used in commercial applications [1]. The functionality of ...
However, the magnitude of the decrement in circulating leptin is much greater than the magnitude of fat loss [39], a phenomenon that may be one of the primary drivers of weight regain. During weight loss maintenance, leptin concentrations slightly increase relative to the dynamic weight loss ...
The first successful underground storage of natural gas in a depleted natural gas reservoir occurred in 1915 in Ontario, Canada. The original and primary scope of underground gas storage (UGS) was the variation in peak demand of a well-defined consumer area and the optimization of the transport...
1.2. Local Governments and Critical Infrastructure The local scale is particularly important for risk reduction because most human experiences and decisions related to DRR happen at the local level [4,14–25]. At this scale, human security and quality of life depend partly on how local ...

On the one hand, the PRC's formal Circular Economy (CE), which represents the main overarching law for all national recycling activities, promotes the notions of "reduce, reuse, and recycle". And yet, as highlighted by Schulz and others, the reuse of obsolete electronics is merely considered...
