Prediction of Tensile Strain Capacity for X52 Steel Pipeline Materials Using the Extended Finite Element Method

Strain-based design (SBD) plays an important role in pipeline design and assessment of pipelines subjected to geo-hazards.Under such hazards, a pipe can be subjected switch power wire to substantial plastic strains, leading to tensile failure at locations of girth weld flaws.For SBD, the finite element method (FEM) can be a reliable tool to calcula

Dendritic Cells in Oncolytic Virus-Based Anti-Cancer Therapy

Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen-presenting cells that have a notable role in the initiation and regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses.In the context of cancer, appropriately activated DCs can induce anti-tumor immunity by activating innate immune cells and tumor-specific lymphocytes that target cancer cells.However, the t

When Policy Meets Practice: The Dilemma for Guidance on Risk Assessment Under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety

The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of Protective Shirts the Parties (COP-MOP) to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity decided years ago to undertake the development of guidance on risk assessment of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology, in order to assist the
