MULTILEVEL FACTORS INFLUENCING PRETERM BIRTH IN AN URBAN SETTING

Multilevel factors influencing preterm birth in an urban setting

Racial disparity in preterm is a major problem in the US.Although significant strides have been made in identifying some of the risk factors, the complexities between community and individual factors are not understood.This study examines the influence of individual and community level factors affecting preterm birth among Black and White women in

Enhancing chemoimmunotherapy for colorectal cancer with paclitaxel and alantolactone via CD44-Targeted nanoparticles: A STAT3 signaling pathway modulation approach

Chemoimmunotherapy has the potential to enhance chemotherapy and modulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by activating immunogenic cell death (ICD), making it a promising strategy for clinical application.Alantolactone (A) was found to augment the anticancer efficacy of paclitaxel (P) at a molar ratio of 1:0.5 (P:A) through induction

Controller Synthesis for Multi-Agent Systems With Intermittent Communication and Metric Temporal Logic Specifications

This paper investigates the controller synthesis problem for a multi-agent system (MAS) with intermittent communication.We adopt a relay-explorer scheme, where a mobile relay agent with absolute position sensors switches among a set of explorers with relative position sensors to provide intermittent state information.We model the MAS as a switched
