Desmoid tumors (DTs) are deep fibroblastic neoplasms that arise from musculo-aponeurotic stromal elements.DTs may result in significant morbidity by infiltrating vital anatomic structures.Their mortality is often due to the local aggressiveness, most commonly when intra-abdominal in location.Some indolent DTs can be observed expectantly; infiltrati
Capacitive Imaging Technique for the Inspection of Composite Sucker Rod
Abstract Composite sucker rod has been extensively used due to its high strength, light weight and corrosion resistive nature.However, such composite sucker rod is difficult for conventional non-destructive evaluation (NDE) ENERGY CLEANSE techniques to inspect because of its complex material and/or structure.It is thus useful to embark research on
Reflexivity, embodiment, and ethics of care in rangeland political ecology: reflections of three feminist researchers on the experience of transdisciplinary knowledge co-production
Although there is a growing interest in transdisciplinary knowledge co-production approaches applied to rangeland political ecology, the research paradigms and methodologies still dominating this field of research leave little room for equitable engagement with research participants and genuine action-oriented research.In this article, we provide a
Capturing the differences between humoral immunity in the normal and tumor environments from repertoire-seq of B-cell receptors using supervised machine learning
Abstract Background The recent success of immunotherapy in treating tumors has attracted increasing interest in research related to the adaptive immune system in the tumor microenvironment.Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technology enabled the sequencing of whole T-cell receptors (TCRs) and B-cell receptors (BCRs)/immunoglobulins (Igs
