Per Aage Brandt September 14 , 09

The aim of a cognitive narratology, as I see it, is to develop the literary and generally semiotic study of narratives through cognitive modeling, and to develop cognitive studies of mind and meaning by integrating insights from literary scholarship. In this article, I first examine the concept of narrative discourse (versus descriptive and argumentative discourse); second, I discuss the princi...

Cancer Immunity (11 September 2008) Vol. 8, p. 14

Tumor cells and the immune system play a lethal "pas de deux" during tumor development. However, it is not clear which role the innate immune system plays in these interactions. We studied the interaction of normal spleen cells (NSCs) with tumor cells expressing low levels of MHCI on the cell surface. This interaction induces increased MHCI expression on the MHCIlow tumor cells by a cell-cell c...

Micro-Vesiculation and Disease, London, 13–14 September 2012

meetings are dedicated to emerging life science topics. The organisers aimed to bridge the findings on extracellular vesicles at the cellular level with organismal research on therapy and pathophysiology. The meeting was centred around a selected set of longer talks touching upon different subjects and specifically allowed longer times for discussion. Finally, speakers were asked to write short...

Collective dynamics of the fireball

I analyse the identified single-particle pt spectra and two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations from RHIC. They indicate a massive transverse expansion and rather short lifetime of the system. The quantitative analysis in framework of the blast-wave model yields, however, unphysical results and suggests that the model may not be applicable in description of two-particle correlations. I then discuss...
