The social aspects of the group members are usually omitted in today’s group recommenders. In this paper we propose novel approach for the intergroup processes modeling, while the friendship type, user’s personality and the group context is considered in order to reflect the group member influence. Moreover, the bi-directional emotional contagion is reflected by the spreading activation over th...

The first longitudinal, controlled experiment of a video game explored the presence of cultivation effects due to play. Over the course of 1 month, participants in an online game changed their perceptions of real-world dangers. However, these dangers only corresponded to events and situations found in the game world, not other real-world crimes. This targeted finding is at odds with the broader...

Coagulation has long been known to facilitate metastasis. To pinpoint the steps where coagulation might play a role in the metastasis, we used three-dimensional visualization of direct infusion of fluorescence labeled antibody to observe the interaction of tumor cells with platelets and fibrinogen in isolated lung preparations. Tumor cells arrested in the pulmonary vasculature were associated w...

PURPOSE The HER-2/neu protein is a nonmutated tumor antigen that is overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies, including breast and ovarian cancer. Many tumor antigens, such as MAGE and gp100, are self-proteins; therefore, effective vaccine strategies must circumvent tolerance. We hypothesized that immunizing patients with subdominant peptide epitopes derived from HER-2/neu, using an adj...

The flux of cells at the cell colony border region is expected to be controlled by ridge-patterned substrates, and displacement velocity influenced orientation ridges with respect contour. In this work patterns regularly separated are employed fabricate tilted initially quasi-linear fronts different tilt angles s. For periods in 3.3 – 5.2 µm range, morphological characteristics pattern, individ...

Pandemic SARS CoV-2 is currently spreading around the world. Preventive measures to be implemented include using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) especially mask which lead a lack of supply. Strategy proposed by decontaminating it so that can used repeatedly. This research was conducted compare effectiveness UV radiation disinfection in different duration on KN95 mask. with time 15, 30, and ...

the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of individual and co-inoculation of trichoderma species and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) on growth, mycorrhization, population of trichoderma, and wilt disease severity in pigeon pea (cajanus cajan l millsp). three species of trichoderma, namely, t. harzianum (th), t. virens (tr), and t. viride (tv) and consortium of amf (myc; mixture...
