SUBSTANCE USE PREFERENCES AND SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS AMONG CANADIAN POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS


Escape of HIV-1-infected dendritic cells from TRAIL-mediated NK cell cytotoxicity during NK-DC cross-talk--a pivotal role of HMGB1.

Early stages of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) infection are associated with local recruitment and activation of important effectors of innate immunity, i.e.natural killer (NK) cells and dendritic cells (DCs).Immature DCs (iDCs) capture HIV-1 through specific receptors and can disseminate the infection to lymphoid tissues following their mi

Vulnerability assessment of urban remnant mountain ecosystems based on ecological sensitivity and ecosystem services

Urban remnant mountains (URMs) are precious natural green habitat patches that can provide a series of ecosystem services for multi-mountainous cities.The increase in peak thca vape ecological sensitivity and degradation of ecosystem services affected by urban expansion and climate change have led to an increasing vulnerability of urban remnant mou

Feature Rescaling and Fusion for Tiny Object Detection

Recent years have witnessed rapid developments on computer vision, however, there are still challenges in detecting tiny objects in a large-scale background.The tiny objects knowledge become sparse and weak due to their tiny size, which makes the tiny objects difficult to be detected with the common approaches.In this paper, a new network named Spe
