The immune microenvironment is considered a major obstacle to generating an effective antitumor immune response. Checkpoint inhibitors manipulate the co-stimulatory response between antigen-presenting cells and immune cells-or between the tumor and immune cells-to elicit an antitumor immune response that would have otherwise been suppressed. Checkpoint inhibitors have shown great promise in the...

In this paper we introduce the class of composite access structures for secret sharing. We also provide secret sharing schemes realizing these structures and study their information rates. As a particular case of this construction, we present the subclass of iterated threshold schemes, a large class of ideal secret sharing schemes.

schema. That is, both the instantiation relation and the part of-relation are based on paradigmatic relationships between words in the lexicon. The morphological structure assigned to the word sneeuwwit is a projection of such paradigmatic relationships on the syntagmatic axis of word structure. One advantage of this approach to word formation is that generalizations about subpatterns can be ex...

Short abstract Compounding is one of the few sequential word formation processes found across sign languages. We examine the properties of compounds in languages in the visual-gestural modality, showing both similarities to spoken language compounds, as well as a modality-specific type of simultaneous compounding. We also explore the development of compounds in a new sign language, (Al-Sayyid B...

This paper provides a syntactic analysis of two types compounds in Greek: synthetic and phrasal derived from agentive nominalizations verbal strings containing an internal argument the verb. The is couched within ‘morphology as syntax’ account uses independently motivated tools to show that both are syntax proper without any need for separate morphological component. differences properties expl...
