Technical Note—A Note on the One Against Many Battle

Technical note on the paper :

In Section 3.1 of [1] a methodology is presented to compute the salient points of a 3D mesh based on the computation of its protrusion function, see Equation (1) in [1]. Explicitly each point υ of the Mesh is examined as a potential salient point. Specifically a geodesic neighborhood is constructed for each point of the mesh and it is considered as a salient point if it is the local maximum of ...

The "battle" against cancer.

Downar is to be praised for his brave call to abandon the outmoded language of warfare in the “battle” against cancer. Our job is to help people with cancer survive their illness as well as possible for as long as possible. We do them a terrible disservice by suggesting that their individual strength of character and ability to endure suffering will pull them through. To do so ignores all the e...

The Battle Against COVID-19: Where Do We Stand Now?

Survivin the battle against immunosuppression

Improving on the limited success of cancer immunotherapy requires new approaches to inhibit immunosuppressive pathways initiated by tumor cells to "escape" protective immunity. One unique approach utilizes Salmonella for systemic delivery of inhibitory RNA, targeting the immunosuppressive molecule Stat3, and a Survivin vaccine to suppress growth of aggressive murine tumors.

Technical Note on the Keynesian Model

In class, I focus on explaining the Keynesian model in words and with diagrams. I don’t walk through the underlying math, mainly because most students find diagrams easier to follow. However, going through the math at least once – at your own pace – will help you better understand the diagrams and how to use them correctly; and some students may find the math easier than the diagrams, or useful...
