![]() ![]() TREM1 siRNA knockdown in induced macrophages reduced their ability to promote migration and vascular mimicry in GBM cells in vitro, and treatment of mice with LP-17 peptide, which blocks TREM1, inhibited growth of GL261 orthotopic xenografts. In macrophages induced from THP1 cells, TREM1 expression levels were increased under hypoxic conditions and associated with markers of macrophage M2 polarization. One of these genes, TREM1, was highly expressed in areas of pseudopalisading cells around necrosis and associated with other proteins induced in angiogenesis/hypoxia. The intersection of these genes with a GO immune-related gene set yielded 47 immune-related genes, five of which exhibited increased expression and association with worse prognosis in GBM. Results: WGCNA yielded 14 significant modules, one of which (black) contained genes involved in immune response and extracellular matrix formation. Immune-related genes in significant modules were subsequently validated in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Rembrandt databases, and impact on GBM development was examined in migration and vascular mimicry assays in vitro and in an orthotopic xenograft model (GL261 luciferase-GFP cells) in mice. ![]() Methods: WGCNA was used to identify highly correlated gene clusters in Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas glioma dataset. Here, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was performed on publicly available datasets to identify immune-related molecules that may contribute to the progression of GBM and thus be exploited as potential therapeutic targets. Background: The tumor microenvironment (TME) of human glioblastoma (GBM) exhibits considerable immune cell infiltration, and such cell types have been shown to be widely involved in the development of GBM. ![]()

![]() ![]() If you want a drama, romance, psychological, and comedy undertone harem I would highly recommend watching the prequel to this special.Grisaia won the poll i made last week so here we go… I am assuming everyone here watched Grisaia no Kajitsu anime, saw its fanservice compilation or at least heard of it… It was a “decent” show with good fanservice… But compared to the Visual Novel which is one of the best eroges when it comes to characters, being “good” or “decent” is not enough… It’s like having a jet plane but deciding to use it as a car instead and driving it on the road, that kinda thing… ![]() ![]() Most Harem anime are usually just full of just comedy and romance which is exceptional, but this is why I really enjoy Grisaia no Kajitsu its has all your standard comedy and romance elements, but has a darker undertone mixed with a big psychological aspect it goes to great lengths explaining every characters background and how they came to be, instead of your average harem with random girls just popping in and out. As for all the other characters they all have around only five minutes of screen times, with the exception of Yuuji family. His personality is pretty unique from my knowledge if he could relate to any character it would be Shiba, Tatsuya from Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei. Luckily there are the few main protagonists out there who just keep me sane one of them is Kazami, Yuuji this isn’t your average male harem lead he is a complete 180 to most of them he’s competent, reliable, badass, handsome, and isn’t as dense. As for intro and outro as for where I watched it there was none they used up all the time.Īh the characters, Im sure many people in the anime community can relate and all agree dense male characters can be the most annoying thing in the world. There was not much background music since it was told in story telling POV, but the small sound effects put into for example flashing cameras, helicopter propellers, and punches were good. You have your same VA cast as from the prequel. ![]() Sound quality was pretty standard nothing out of the ordinary. Very well drawn characters and fluent animation with how little action scenes there were they were pretty intense and the blood splats were amazing and detailed. You have the strong vivid colors fitted with the smooth backgrounds giving a clear display of what you’re watching. The art quality (expecting you’ve watched the prequel) is quite similar with the exception its a little more vivid and HD then previously. In Grisaia they actually go in huge depth of his past adding traumatic, sad, horrific, and psychological all into one you have pretty much the worst case scenarios all packed into one – one hour episode (47.45 approx). Some do it better than other, but I believe the producers of Grisaia did it the best, its not one of those simplistic revenge story were the main protagonists sets out for revenge over the lost of a loved one. He explains his childhood thoroughly from an early elementary student to a young teen boy.Ī main protagonist with a tragic background is nothing out of the ordinary its quite common and over used within the Harem genre. Yuuji goes in depth on how difficult and traumatic his childhood was like. The story telling of his childhood was so enticing, listening to him tell his story while watching the flashbacks and memories was perfect. Wanting to pursue a promotion within the CIRS company Yuuji must submit documents as part of the promotion process explaining his own past. Grisaia no Meikyuu is a complicated arc from the main story of the Visual novel/anime (Grisaia no Kajitsu) the story is told by the main protagonist himself Kazami, Yuuji. MEGA Links for Grisaia no Meikyuu 720p 90MB miniMKV EncodesĭDL Links for Grisaia no Meikyuu 720p 90MB miniMKV Encodes The irony, of course, being that prominent figures in Yuuji’s past may just be continuing to exert their influence upon the present… Meanwhile, back at the dorm, the girls find themselves unwittingly following along after Sachi and Makina restore the shredded rough draft of said documents. The action resumes with Yuuji in a meeting with JB at “corporate HQ,” discussing the documents he submitted for review as a part of the promotion process-said documents pertaining to none other than Yuuji’s own past. Roughly a year after his arrival at Mihama, Yuuji makes the unexpected decision to pursue promotion within CIRS.

![]() ![]() He will either blow hot to draw you back in so that you reconnect, albeit temporarily or for some of the colder bastard variety, just responding is enough to make them feel better and they disappear again. You respond when he makes contact with you – This sends the sign that even though you might be a little pissed off with him, you’re not so pissed off that you’re ignoring him, which he also reads as your potential interest in him. It often feels like these guys have an in-built homing device that senses when it’s just the right moment to call and whilst I don’t disagree that men do seem to have a nose for these things, there are some things that send the signal. I feel like I’m wasting the best years of my life and it’s bloody exhausting. I’ll tell him to get lost, he’d beg and plead, I’d stand firm, he’d leave, I wouldn’t hear from him for a day or two, then he’d call to see how I am, soon it wasn’t long before he’d turn up on my doorstep for a ‘chat’, he’d give it the big talk and say he wanted things to work, I’d take him back, and so it would start all over again till next time. It took a long time to realise though that there was a pattern to us getting back together. He’s so intense and full on then and showers me with attention. It’s like he only really wants me when he thinks that being with me again is in serious jeopardy. ![]() ![]() After a while he learns the pattern with you and behaves accordingly. Mr Unavailable could start blowing hot, offer to take you out and end up in your bed, but you don’t actually have to let him.Īll it actually takes is for you to repeatedly turn down his offers of ‘reconnecting’, stop slipping him the sex, and basically cut the contact but you don’t. Mr Unavailable could call you up and suggest you meet up and you could turn him down. He can only get away with as much as you’re prepared to let him get away with. Much like with all interactions with Mr Unavailables, whilst they are very good at controlling the pace of things and what you get out of the relationship, you set the tone. I’m sure she realises now that I’m not the settling down kind so it’ll be easier this time.’ In your mind you think ‘Bingo! I knew he’d come round to my way of thinking!’ and in his mind he thinks, ‘Ah.that Susan’s good fun. You start believing that the reason why he keeps returning is because he recognises that there is more to you and this relationship than he realised. With you, you keep bouncing back and forth between the same Mr Unavailables because they keep turning up and you keep letting them back in. In fact, Mr Unavailables would not be able to exist and continue with their behaviour if there weren’t Fallback Girls ready and waiting to co-manage this dysfunctional partnering.īut as a YYG a particular problem presents itself because other Fallback Girls meet a Mr Unavailable, have the usual roll call of issues, break up, and move onto a new Mr Unavailable. In order for Mr Unavailables to indulge in this boomerang behaviour, there has to be a facilitating YYG. That ¦and he’s the original Dog In a Manger ‘ He don’t want you but he doesn’t want you to move onto someone else who might actually want you and prevent him from being able to have the easy access that he currently has back into your life. The biggest question that YYGs ask themselves is ‘Why does he keep coming back?’ and it’s simply because he can. This excerpt is from the chapter on The Yo-Yo Girl, from the section, You’re thinking ‘We’re back together!’, he’s thinking ‘We’re hooking up…’ In another excerpt from new ebook, Mr Unavailable and the Fallback Girl, I explain the assuming that keeps a Yo-Yo Girl (YYG) in her boomerang relationship with her ‘bad penny’ Mr Unavailable. ![]() ![]() There, she learned about Christianity from a Puritan minister named Alexander Whitaker, was baptized as “Rebecca,” and married the widower John Rolfe in 1614-despite an earlier marriage to a Native man named Kocoum. Argall’s original plan was to trade her for tools, corn, and Englishmen held by her father, but instead she was kept as a prisoner at Jamestown. It was only a few years later that relations between the colonists and the Powhatans had deteriorated into war and Captain Samuel Argall kidnapped Pocahontas. The incident where she seemed to risk her own life to save Smith’s, Kupperman and other historians conclude, was probably actually part of an established ceremony where Pocahontas was playing a scripted role.īut she must’ve been bright, because Powhatan began sending her with his envoys as a trade emissary to Jamestown, where she brought food to the starving colonists in exchange for tools and weapons. The daughter of Wahunsenaca (also known as Powhatan), who ruled over a group of Algonquian-speaking tribes-known as Powhatans-in the coastal region of what is now Virginia, Pocahontas was just 10 years old when the English colonists founded Jamestown in 1607. In Pocahontas and the English Boys (NYU Press 2019) New York University professor emerita Karen Ordahl Kupperman peels back more than 400 years of legend-the “good Indian” stereotypes, the convenient love stories, the painting “with all the colors of the wind.” ![]() ![]() ![]() “In the modern retelling, she’s not a 10-year-old girl-she’s a sex object.” And then there’s the recent-and maybe unprecedented-use of her name by a sitting president to mock a US senator over her claim to Native American heritage. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a great card for families with the ability to manage up to 4 sub-accounts for your inner circle.

![]() ![]() ![]() Analysis of carbon footprint reduction for three novel air separation columns. Wang Z., Wang W., Qin W., Gui W., Xu S., Yang C., Zhang Z., Wang Y., Zheng J., Liu X. Considering a more renewable energy sources-containing energy mix, annual greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 50 to over 80%, varying for individual pollutants.Ībsorption cooler air humidity air separation unit compressed air dryer emission factors emissions heat recuperation power consumption. A power consumption cut was translated into the following annual greenhouse gas emission reduction: CO 2 16 to 30 kilotons, CO 0.3 to 2.3 tons, SO x 4.7 to 187 tons and NO x 11 to 56 tons, depending on applied fossil fuel-based emission factors. Emissions of major gaseous pollutants from power production were both calculated by an in-house developed thermal power plant model and adopted from literature. The resulting specific oxygen production decrease amounted to EUR 2-4.2 t -1. Comparison of a model without and with absorption coolers yielded an achievable reduction in power consumption for air compression and air dryer regeneration by 6 to 9% (23 to 33 GWh year -1) and a favorable simple payback period of 4 to 10 years, both depending on air pressure loss in additional heat exchangers to be installed. A steady-state process simulation of a model 500 t h -1 inlet cryogenic air separation unit was performed in Aspen Plus ® V11. Variable ambient air humidity impact on compressed air dryers' regeneration was also considered. An improved unit design was proposed, utilizing a part of waste heat produced during air pre-cooling and intercooling via absorption coolers, to reduce power consumption. Still, if you've enjoyed previous installments of this racing series, you'll have a thrilling ride with Need for Speed Payback.Oxygen production in cryogenic air separation units is related to a significant carbon footprint and its supply in the medicinal sphere became critical during the recent COVID-19 crisis. All of which makes this game feel like it's trying to be Forza Horizon 3 but isn't even up to the first one of those games. Competing in races can also turn into a grind, as they quickly become a matter of completing a number of races just to get the right parts to advance the story. Also, since the game seems to be set on a holiday Sunday when everyone's out of town, the roads are rather empty, thus eliminating the fun and challenge of having to weave in and out of traffic. This is reinforced when they start yapping away in the middle of a race. The thing is, while the racing is solid, and the stunt work is unique and challenging - thanks to the game's solid controls and twisty tracks - the boring characters and their clichéd dialogue makes the story stuff rather tiresome. Just be careful, as the whole "illegal" thing might draw the attention of the local police, who you'll then have to knock out of the way or just outrun. Which is really just an excuse to do a ton of illegal street races, off-road contests, and cool movie-style stunts. In Need for Speed Payback, you play as a former street racer trying to rebuild your reputation - and your friendships with your former crew. Though it's a noticeable improvement over the previous model, this illegal street racing game is neither the best seen from the series, nor this year's best driving game. Which Side of History?

So what are the possible long-term implications of this lawsuit? I imagine a world in which strip clubs start to resemble ski rental shops, requiring clients to sign lengthy liability waivers before they're allowed to try out the equipment. Under normal circumstances, she would have gotten an extra tip for being so flexible. Surround yourself with scantily clad women whose entire job is to gyrate around your body in stilettos, and one in several million times, a heel is going to land in your face. Go base-jumping and there's a chance you might splatter. Try kiteboarding, for example, and a sudden gust of wind could smack you down on the water and break your back.
