Endogenous μ-opioid peptides modulate immune response towards malignant melanoma

“…Opioids and their receptors are widely expressed in the central nervous system, but their role in immune responses is now being increasingly recognized (8). Among the immunomodulatory effects of opioids described so far are alterations of antibody responses (9), phagocytic (10) and natural killer cell activity (11), T‐lymphocyte maturation (12) and modulation of cytokine patterns (13).…”

Nuclear Propulsion for Space Vehicles

“…The simplest idea is similar to the rotating cavity reactor as in the dust bed, but one in which the gas is bubbled radially inward through the liquid; this has been suggested by McCarthy (24) and studied recently by Barrett (25), Grey (26), and others. The flow per unit area of a gas through molten fuel is a factor of 103 lower than that for a fluidized bed and thus, to obtain appreciable thrust levels, it is necessary to go to multiple rotating cylindrical cavities or tubes (Figure 7).…”

Hassan v United Kingdom: The Interaction of Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law with regard to the Deprivation of Liberty in Armed Conflicts

“…Instead of opting to let the more specific norms prevail and disapply the conflicting general standards, this approach attempts to resolve the IHL/HRL conundrum by taking account of the particularities of the two bodies of law, by considering them ' as existing along a spectrum of legal relevancy to the factual circumstances at issue', and by blending their rules together, to a degree. 13 The Court does not pick one body of law over the other, but applies both by allowing the more permissive regime of IHL to step in through a reading-down of Article 5 ECHR. In this sense, it gave meaning to the phrase 'the two spheres of law are complementary, not mutually exclusive' 14 and provided a more sophisticated answer than the binary logic of lex specialis would allow with regard to the complex and multifaceted questions that arise as a result of the simultaneous application of IHL and HRL.…”
