Abstract PD-1 blockade unleashes CD8 T cells 1 , including those specific for mutation-associated neoantigens (MANA), but factors in the tumour microenvironment can inhibit these T cell responses. Single-cell transcriptomics have revealed global T cell dysfunction programs in tumour-infiltrating lym...

Ubiquitously expressed μ- and m-calpain proteases are implicated in development and apoptosis. They consist of 80-kDa catalytic subunits encoded by the capn1 and capn2 genes, respectively, and a common 28-kDa regulatory subunit encoded by the capn4 gene. The regulatory subunit is required to maintai...

Saline-alkali soil has become significant problem for global agriculture and food security as these soils have poor physicochemical conditions and reduce crop production by causing a wide range of physiological and biochemical changes in plants. More than 800 million hectares (Mha) of land throughou...

The extensive literature has reported adverse effects on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on children's health. We aim to analyze associations of ETS with dry night cough, croup, pneumonia, and frequent common cold and to disentangle the effects of prenatal, infancy and childhood exposure by multil...

Blastocystis sp. is a protozoan parasite, commonly found in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans globally. The parasitic species has wide genetic diversity. Currently the mammalian and avian isolates of the parasite are grouped into 17 well known subtypes (STs), of which ten (ST1-ST9, S...

Stabilization/Solidification (S/S) has been widely used in soil remediation to both improve physical properties and immobilize extensive contaminants. GGBS (granulated ground blast furnace slag)-MgO-CaO (GMCs) was used to treat Pb/Zn contaminated soil. The physical and microstructural characteristic...

To improve the ride comfort of the off‐road vibratory roller, the cab’s hydraulic mounts were analyzed to prevent vibration sources transmitting to the cab. However, the cab’s low‐frequency shaking in the vertical direction and the direction of forward motion is still great. This study proposes an o...

Fly ash, a supplementary cementitious material, is normally used in conjunction with portland cement to improve the durability properties of concrete in the field, such as sea-crossing bridges, high-speed railways, and mass concrete in dams. Currently, these concrete structures are frequently expose...

Cellulolytic bacteria were isolated and screened from municipal solid wastes and rice straw wastes using Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) agar medium as a selective medium. Production of clear zones by the bacterial isolates on CMC agar medium supplemented with 1% CMC was considered as indicative of e...

We propose an Auto-Parsing Network (APN) to discover and exploit the input data’s hidden tree structures for improving the effectiveness of the Transformer-based vision-language systems. Specifically, we impose a Probabilistic Graphical Model (PGM) parameterized by the attention operations on each s...

Strip in TWIP steel with the composition of Fe–23Mn–3Si–3Al fabricated by twin-roll strip casting was investigated. Large edge cracks, which were prone to occur in hot rolled TWIP steels, were avoided by using twin-roll strip casting. The cold rolled and annealed strip exhibited a reasonably good co...

Machine learning (ML) models for accurately predicting heavy metals with inconsistent outputs have improved owing to dataset outliers, which influence model reliability and accuracy. A comprehensive technique that combines machine learning and advanced statistical methods was applied to assess data ...

The lipid composition of breast milk may have a significant impact on early infant growth and cognitive development. Comprehensive breast milk data is lacking from low-income populations in the Indian subcontinent impeding assessment of deficiencies and limiting development of maternal nutritional i...

Purpose Evaluating the economic effects of climate change is a pivotal step for planning adaptation in developing countries. For Bangladesh, global warming has put it among the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change, with increasing temperatures and sea-level rise. Hence, the purpo...

BPA is categorized as a new emerging pollutant that mimics the structure and function of hormone estrogen for humans and animals. The removal of BPA had been concerned because human exposure toward BPA is widespread, and it is harmful to humans and the ecosystem. The aim of the study was to remove B...

Most of the work on the structural nested model and g-estimation for causal inference in longitudinal data assumes a discrete-time underlying data generating process. However, in some observational studies, it is more reasonable to assume that the data are generated from a continuous-time process an...

PROBLEM Emergency triage faces multiple challenges, including limited medical resources and inadequate manual triage nurses, which cause incorrect triage, overcrowding in the emergency department (ED), and long patient waiting time. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to propose and validate an accurate and e...

The stream of globalization is impelling Bangladesh to adopt the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR). This study examined the opportunities and problems created by the adoption of FIR in Bangladesh. Findings show that the adaptation of FIR can create enormous difficulties for the ...
