POINTWISE MUTUAL INFORMATION QUANTIFIES INTRATUMOR HETEROGENEITY IN TISSUE SECTIONS LABELED WITH MULTIPLE FLUORESCENT BIOMARKERS

Pointwise mutual information quantifies intratumor heterogeneity in tissue sections labeled with multiple fluorescent biomarkers

Background: Measures of spatial intratumor heterogeneity are potentially important diagnostic biomarkers for cancer progression, proliferation, and response to therapy.Spatial relationships among cells including cancer and stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are key contributors to heterogeneity.Methods: We demonstrate how to quantify

Technical and economic aspects of valve train wear during conversion of a gasoline internal combustion engine to gas engine fuel

Problem.The main trends in the car gasification are considered.It is shown that after the global automakers lost the interest in the creation and production of gas engines, the development of gas systems continues in the secondary market.A noticeable decrease in the valve train durability due to the valve recession was noted, which can make the con
