Abstract Estimating the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection fatality rate (IFR) has proven to be particularly challenging –and rather controversial– due fact that both data on deaths and number of individuals infected are subject many different biases. We consider a Bayesian evidence synthesis approach which, while simple enough for researchers understand use, accounts important sourc...

Peyer's patches (PPs) simultaneously initiate active and quiescent immune responses in the gut. The immunological function is achieved by the rigid regulation of cell distribution and trafficking, but how the cell distribution is maintained remains to be elucidated. In this study, we show that binding of stromal cell-derived lymphoid chemokines to conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) is essentia...

Pyrochemical processes are under development at Argonne National Laboratory for recovery of transuranium (TRU) elements from light water reactor spent fuel. The recovered TRU elements will be used as fuel in the integral fast reactor (IFR). Burning these long-lived isotopes for electrical power generation has the additional benefit of reducing the burden on the geological repository for their l...

Despite the fact that the Peyer's patch (PP) is the primary site for antigen uptake in the intestine, the cellular basis of antigen handling after transport into the PP is poorly understood. We performed immunohistology of murine PPs using the dendritic cell (DC)-reactive monoclonal antibodies N418, NLDC-145, M342, and 2A1, as well as antibodies to other T cell, B cell, and macrophage markers. ...

In order to fully exploit the advantages of massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO), it is critical for transmitter accurately acquire channel state information (CSI). Deep learning (DL)-based methods have been proposed CSI compression and feedback transmitter. Although most existing DL-based consider matrix as an image, structural features image are rarely exploited in neural network de...
