As object oriented features are added to programming languages such as C demands upon dynamic memory allocation systems increase Prototyping languages such as Smalltalk and LISP have long rec ognized the impact of garbage collection on improving reliability and programmer productivity but providing garbage collection in C is hard because pointers are di cult to reliably identify Conser vative g...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Controversies still exist regarding the best surgical procedure in the treatment of periprosthetic infection after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Based on data in the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register (NAR), we have compared the risk of re-revision after 4 different surgical procedures: 2-stage with exchange of the whole prosthesis, 1-stage with exchange of the whole prosthe...

Background CEA (CEACAM5) is a well-validated cell-surface antigen that highly expressed in multiple solid tumors. Bolt's immune-stimulating antibody conjugates (ISACs) direct TLR7/8 agonist into tumors to activate tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells and initiate broad innate adaptive anti-tumor immune response. 1 The favorable properties of CEA, including robust cell surface expression, low intern...

Extant models of polarization do not capture the idea that some beliefs are true and others false. Here we present a model, based on the network epistemology framework of Bala and Goyal [”Learning from neighbors”, Rev. Econ. Stu...

Dengue virus is a single stranded enveloped RNA virus belonging to the genus flavivirus in the family Flaviviridae and transmitted through the bites of Aedes mosquitoes (Gould EA et al, 2008). There are five serotypes of the virus distinguished on the basis of antigenicity; first four are referred to as DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4 (Rodenhuis Zybert et al, 2010) while the fifth type was an...
