There is limited data on the predictive biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The main aim of this prospective study is to understand the utility ...

Software measurement is still emerging as a field of knowledge, and, most often, traditional quality criteria of measurement methods such as repeatability, reproducibility, accuracy and convertibility are not even investigated ...

A unified numerical treatment for handling various forms of constitutive relations for hyperelastic and rubber-like materials is presented. A general form for the stress and the constitutive tensors is derived. The form ...

A new technique for more accurate automatic segmentation of the kidney from its surrounding abdominal structures in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is presented. This approach combines a new 3D ...

A novel 3D printed photocatalytic feed spacer was developed for use in membrane-based water and wastewater filtration systems. The spacer fulfilled two new functions; degradation of membrane-permeating pollutants in the ...

3D printing offers the flexibility to achieve favorable spacer geometrical modification. The role of 3D printed spacers for organic fouling mitigation in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) is evaluated. Compared ...

Combined radio-immunotherapy is currently being investigated to treat cancer patients. Anti-PD-1 immunotherapy offers the prospect of long-term disease control in solid tumors. Radiotherapy has the ability to promote ...

The TRS-483 Code of Practice (CoP) introduced and provided output correction factors to be applied to measured detector-reading ratios to obtain OFs for several small-field detectors. Detector readings for 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm ...

Supply chain sustainability has attracted less attention in the Arab world compared to the westerncountries. There is dearth in existing research on this topic, particularly in service organizations, andtechniques of ...
