Effector T cells under hypoxia have an altered transcriptome similar to tumor-stressed T cells found in non-responsive melanoma patients by Ahmad A Tarhini, Zhihua Chen, Dongliang Du, Joshua Davis, Justin C Boucher, Katarzyna A Rejniak, Jose A Guevara-Patino, Timothy I Shaw, Alyssa Obermayer, Mate Z Nagy, Lourdes B Plaza-Rojas, Elena Kostenko, Anna L Austin, Awino Maureiq E Ojwang'

“…We created tumor maps and derived plots showing the fraction of CD4 and CD8 T cells against the distance to the nearest vessel and oxygen pressure. To assess their function and transcriptional changes caused by hypoxia, effector T cells were generated and cultured under hypoxia (0.5% oxygen) or normoxia (21% oxygen). …”

Schrödinger Potentials with Polynomial Solutions of Heun-Type Equations by Géza Lévai, Tibor Soltész

“…The present review discusses the solution of the Heun, confluent, biconfluent, double confluent, and triconfluent equations in terms of polynomial expansions, and applies the results to generate exactly solvable Schrödinger potentials. Although there are more general approaches to solve these differential equations in terms of the expansions of certain special functions, the importance of polynomial solutions is unquestionable, as most of the known potentials are solvable in terms of the hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions; i.e., Natanzon-class potentials possess bound-state solutions in terms of classical orthogonal polynomials, to which the (confluent) hypergeometric functions can be reduced. …”

Environmental Levels and Degradation Behavior of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in the Water Environment by Zhaohe ZHANG, Dian CHEN, Wei ZHAO, Guoli YUAN, Jun LI, Xingchun JIAO

“…In general, photodegradation and biodegradation are more common than hydrolysis. In surface water, many PPCPs have avoided the strict biodegradation environment of wastewater treatment, and photochemistry may have a greater effect than the biodegradation under sunlight, in which antibiotics are mainly photodegraded in the water environment; ibuprofen, iopromide and caffeine are more prone to biodegradation; esters and amides are the most common functional groups that are easily hydrolyzed in PPCPs[63], and tetracycline can undergo hydrolysis reactions due to adsorption into sediments. …”

Human motion similarity evaluation based on deep metric learning by Yidan Zhang, Lei Nie

“…In addition, the dynamic time warping (DWT) algorithm is exploited to align the sequence of action information feature vectors temporally, which solves the problem of temporal axis discrepancies in realizing similarity metrics based on action information feature vectors. More accurate and reliable human action similarity evaluation results were achieved by the loss function composed of three components, namely, cross-reconstruction loss, reconstruction loss and triplet loss. …”
