HER2 expression in different cell lines at different inoculation sites assessed by [52Mn]Mn-DOTAGA(anhydride)-trastuzumab by Toàn Minh Ngô, Toàn Minh Ngô, Adrienn Vágner, Gábor Nagy, Gábor Ország, Tamás Nagy, Tamás Nagy, Zoltán Szoboszlai, Csaba Csikos, Csaba Csikos, Balázs Váradi, György Trencsényi, György Trencsényi, György Trencsényi, Gyula Tircsó, Ildikó Garai, Ildikó Garai, Ildikó Garai

“…The ratios for orthotopic HER2-positive tumors were significantly higher than those for ectopic HER2-negative tumors and melanoma at all time points. However, the differences between HER2-positive and HER2-negative tumors decreased at later time points.ConclusionThese results suggest that [52Mn]Mn-DOTAGA(anhydride)-trastuzumab demonstrates efficient tumor-to-background contrast, emphasize the higher tumor uptake observed in orthotopic tumors, and highlight the influence of tumor environment characteristics on uptake.…”

Beyond scale to efficiency: a dual-perspective framework for green finance in China by Ren Wang, Yicheng Duan, Danchen Li

“…Through temporal trend comparisons and spatial correlation analysis, the study finds: (1) The technical efficiency of China's green industries generally shows a steady upward trend in technical efficiency, while the allocation efficiency of green finance among and between industries shows an overall fluctuating upward trend; (2) The rate of convergence in allocation efficiency within the green finance industry across different regions is much faster than that between industries, suggesting that reallocation of financial resources among industries faces greater obstacles; (3) Inter-industry allocation efficiency of green finance exhibits a more significant positive spatial autocorrelation than within-industry allocation efficiency, elucidating the impact of local government's strategic interaction behavior on green finance development; and (4) The spatial correlation of inter-industry allocation efficiency in green finance is less than that of within-industry allocation efficiency, yet it is more closely associated with the technical efficiency of the green industry, signifying that local financial resource competition affects the efficiency of green finance development. …”

On the annual energy yield of perovskite/silicon tandem modules with different bottom cell technologies and optimized top cell properties for different locations by Singh Manvika, Finazzo Jacopo, Blom Youri, Jayan Mahesh, Ruiz Tobon Carlos, Weeber Arthur, Zeman Miroslav, Santbergen Rudi, Isabella Olindo

“…At standard test conditions (STC), the performance of photovoltaic modules is compared using efficiency. As irradiance and module temperature fluctuate over the year and STC efficiency does not assess the performance of the module accurately in real world conditions, the annual energy yield is used instead as performance metric. …”
