Summary: Neutrophils are phenotypically heterogeneous and exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions.We show that cancer-cell-derived G-CSF is necessary, but not sufficient, to mobilize immature low-density Cropped neutrophils (iLDNs) that promote liver metastasis.In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of liver metas
In the previous article [Y.-X.Wang and W.-T.Li, J.Differential Equations, 251 VTX (2011) 1670-1695], the authors have shown that the set of positive stationary solutions of a cross-diffusive Lotka-Volterra cooperative system can form an unbounded fish-hook shaped branch $Gamma_p$.In the present paper, we will show some criteria for the stability of
It is well accepted that Information Systems (IS) are critical for the competitiveness of virtually any human organization.However, IS need constant attention to fulfill their role and to keep pace with the Decorative Art changes of organizations.Therefore, the success of IS projects is crucial for the success of IS and, consequently, for the succe

The purpose of coupling Microfiltration (MF) with the catalytic process is to separate suspended catalyst from a reaction solution.In this study, submerged ceramic membranes were used.Different operating modes of Male/Female : 14mm/10mm MF in combination with photocatalysis were investigated: (1) MF separation of the suspended catalyst without UV i
