Vaccination generates functional progenitor tumor-specific CD8 T cells and long-term tumor control by Mary Philip, Mary K Washington, Joseph T Roland, Carlos R Detrés Román, Megan M Erwin, Michael W Rudloff, Frank Revetta, Kristen A Murray, Natalie R Favret, Jessica J Roetman

“…We compared how tumor-specific CD8 T cells (TST) differentiated in mice with early sporadic lesions as compared with late lesions and tested how immunotherapeutic strategies, including vaccination and ICB, impact TST function and liver cancer progression.Methods Mice with a germline floxed allele of the SV40 large T antigen (TAG) undergo spontaneous recombination and activation of the TAG oncogene, leading to rare early cancerous TAG-expressing lesions that inevitably progress to established liver cancer. …”

The effects of cognitive training on executive functions and reading in typically-developing children with varied socioeconomic status in Brazil by Janaina Weissheimer, Renata Callipo Fujii, Juliana Geizy Marques Souza

“…To investigate possible training effects and to study the impact of SES on scholastic achievement in Brazilian children, we trained 61 children for 5-7 weeks and compared their performance with that of 60 age-matched peers on measures of executive functions and reading. Our results demonstrate a general effect of SES for the dependent variables. …”

Design of Fixed and Ladder Mutation Factor-Based Clonal Selection Algorithm for Solving Unimodal and Multimodal Functions by Suresh Chittineni, A. N. S. Pradeep, Dinesh Godavarthi, Suresh Chandra Satapathy, S. Mohan Krishna, P. V. G. D. Prasad Reddy

“…This paper compared the conventional CLONALG, with the two proposed approaches and tested on several standard benchmark functions. Experimental results empirically show that the proposed methods ladder mutation-based clonal selection algorithm (LMCSA) and fixed mutation clonal selection algorithm (FMCSA) significantly outperform the existing CLONALG method in terms of quality of the solution, convergence speed, and solution stability.…”

Terminal power control method of power line carrier communication network based on adaptive hash function by Hong XUE, Jiahan WANG, Yuling SUN, Bo HAN, Yubai XIAO

“…In the control of network terminal power, due to the overall low analysis of network state, the adaptive regulation ability of communication network terminal power is poor.Therefore, the power line carrier communication network terminal power control method based on adaptive hash function was proposed.Considering the dynamic fluctuation of the actual operating state of the power line carrier communication network, the adaptive mechanism was set for the hash function, and the adaptive hash function was constructed for the original running state data, and the final hash value was obtained in the variable chaotic mapping system.In the power control stage of the power line carrier communication network terminal, the communication network terminal was affected by the interference of other communication network terminals, and it was used as the input value of the adaptive hash function to realize the power control of each communication network terminal.In the test results, the proposed control method not only effectively reduces the increase range of network terminal power under constant communication conditions, but also effectively reduces the network terminal power output under dynamic communication conditions, which has a high adaptive adjustment ability.…”
