The curdlan and/or anti-VISTA monoclonal antibody enhances innate and adaptive immune responses in the mouse model of melanoma
DownloadSpring 2022
During the past decade, the field of immuno-oncology has been revolutionized by the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, acquired resistance to ICIs and relapse after immunotherapy are associated with defects in antigen presentation and the upregulation of exhaustion ligands...

An Integrated 3D Safety-based Approach for the Design of Horizontal Curves using Reliability Analysis and LiDAR Data
DownloadSpring 2022
Safety-based design can be described as an approach in which safety is considered a core design input and the safety performance of proposed designs that follow this approach can be expected. Although current-day highway design guidelines are constantly updated to incorporate recent advances in...

Climate and air quality impacts of boreal wildfires — new analytical approaches for the investigation of light absorption and atmospheric reactivity of wildfire particulate matter
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildfire smoke emissions contain substantial amounts of light-absorbing aerosols that can affect the radiation and cloud processes, resulting in climate impacts on regional and even global scales. The radiative impact of these light-absorbing aerosols is largely contributed by brown carbon (BrC),...

Evaluation of Mask and Mask Material Suitability for COVID-19 Transmission Protection and Influence of Face Velocity and Exhaled Breath Condensate on Filtration Efficiency
DownloadSpring 2022
Facemask use has been a key public health measure in response to the SARS CoV-2 pandemic; they are used to reduce airborne transmission of the disease amongst the public. The facemasks used by the public are non-medical in nature and therefore are not regulated like medical masks. Cloth masks,...
