Research on Surrogate Model of Variable Geometry Turbine Performance Based on Backpropagation Neural Network by Liping Deng, Hu Wu, Yuhang Liu, Qi’an Xie

“…When the throat area of the single-stage turbine nozzle changed by ±30%, the maximum relative errors between the calculated mass flow rate and efficiency and their experimental values were 3.602% and 4.228%, respectively; thus, the determination coefficients of the constructed BP neural network model for the training samples were all greater than 0.999, indicating that the surrogate model has high prediction accuracy and strong generalization ability and can quickly predict variable geometry turbine cooling performance.…”

Targeting the tumor mutanome for personalized vaccination in a TMB low non-small cell lung cancer by Chuan Wang, Kaïdre Bendjama, Stephen Schoenberger, Oliver Wood, Gareth Thomas, Pandurangan Vijayanand, Tilman Sanchez-Elsner, Nathalie Silvestre, Natalia Savelyeva, Christian Ottensmeier, Katy McCann, Adrian von Witzleben, Jaya Thomas, Divya Singh, Konstantinos Boukas, Finn Cilius Nielsen, Jason Greenbaum, Bjoern Peters

“…Following vaccination of HHD mice, de novo T-cell responses were generated to 4/18 (22%) mutated gene variants; T cells reactive against two variants were also evident in the autologous setting. Subsequently, we determined the major histocompatibility complex restriction of the T-cell responses and used in silico prediction tools to determine the likely neoepitopes.Conclusions Our study demonstrates the feasibility of efficiently identifying tumor-specific neoantigens that can be targeted by vaccination in tumors with a low mutational burden, promising successful clinical exploitation, with trials currently underway.…”
