Perfecting peptide priming

Tumors can avoid immune destruction despite being invaded by tumor-specific CD8 ϩ T cells. On page 1257, Bronte et al. describe one way that prostate tumors subdue T cells— they make two enzymes that combine forces to cripple T cell signaling components. Tumors use a variety of tactics to avoid attack by cytotoxic CD8 ϩ T cells; one is to establish an inhospitable environment that inhibits T ce...

Perfecting the Ultra-violet of Holographic Descriptions of QCD

We investigate imposing a UV cutoff into a simple AdS/QCD model of the rho mesons. The cutoff corresponds to the scale at which QCD moves from perturbative to non-perturbative behaviour, above which the gravity dual will itself become strongly coupled. Simply imposing a cutoff significantly improves the fit to the masses of the tower of excited rho mesons. Formally one should match the coupling...

Studies of the Triad

The structure of the junction between sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and transverse tubular (T) system at the triad has been studied in twitch fibers of the frog. The junction is formed by flattened surfaces of the SR lateral sacs and the T-system tubule, which face each other at a distance of 120-140 A. At periodic intervals of about 300 A, the SR membrane forms small projections, whose tips are ...

TRIAD: Triad-based Rich Internet Application Design

Current trends in web development still are attached to the web page paradigm. Nevertheless, new uses of already available technology and recent development in terms of concepts, as the asynchronous communication, have produced a new generation of web applications: Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). These web applications essays to fulfill user expectations in terms of usability, reliability, q...
