After partially blocking the Abs sites on the nanoprobes with PD-L1, the decrease in intensity (ΔI) versus the amount of PD-L1 (m) showed a linear relation in the range 1.0 to 5.0 fmol (R = 0.999, n = 5; Fig. 5G)

The Bockfest Boys will sing on the Center Street Stage from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by The Church of Cash (true to the music of Johnny Cash) led by New Ulm native Jay Kalk from 2 to 5 p.m. A craft and vendor show on First North between Minnesota Street and Broadway takes place at 11 a.m.

The practice reaches back to when cheesemakers in England skimmed the butterfat from milk to make butter, according to Elizabeth Chubbuck of Murray’s Cheese in New York. The leftover milk was whiter, so cheesemakers added pigments to recreate butterfat’s golden hue, she said.

We further investigated the PD-L1 expression on TNBC surfaces using Raman mapping. We collected a topographic image of 50 μm by 50 μm from the integrated intensity of the peak at 1530 cm−1. The first column of Fig. 5L shows the Raman mapping images of the PD-L1 expression level of three types of TNBCs. The color-false images revealed that the expression level of PD-L1 on three types of TNBCs was MDA-MB-231 > HCC38 >> MCF-7. Both the calculated results and Raman mapping images were consistent with those of the commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (fig. S7B). The Raman imaging technique mentioned above was further successfully used to monitor dynamic PD-L1 expression on three different TNBCs in response to IFN-γ, which was a type of biomolecule reported to upgrade the expression of PD-L1 on cell surfaces (38). Three types of IFN-γ–treated TNBCs progressively increased with the concentrations of IFN-γ (Fig. 5, M to P). Besides concentration-dependent mapping, to provide additional evidence that our probe selectively targets PD-L1 on cell surfaces with high sensitivity, we further conducted time-dependent Raman mapping experiments for IFN stimulation. Figure S8 shows the time-dependent responses for IFN-γ during the course of the experiment. The Raman peak obtained from IFN-γ–treated cells increased as the IFN-γ incubation time increased and reached a plateau after 48 hours. Both the histogram and Raman mapping images indicated that IFN-γ treatment significantly stimulated the expression of PD-L1 on cell surfaces within 48 hours. All these results confirmed the high sensitivity and selectivity of the MGT-Abs-CuPc probe for Raman bioanalysis and imaging.

There’s an oddball in most families, but Rice University physicist Emilia Morosan has discovered an entire clan of eccentric compounds that could help explain the mysterious electronic and magnetic workings of other quantum …

"With a face that launched a thousand spliffs, ‘The Package’ has skated, surfed, and partied over the last 50 years with no end in sight. After reaching rockstar status with Big World in the mid ’80s, Sid’s infamous Water Bros. Surf shop brought vert skating to the beaches of Newport, RI," wrote Jim Murphy in Juice Magazine.

“Everything has gone up,” Mr. Singh said on a recent afternoon, as his family members plucked a meager cotton harvest on their one-acre patch of earth in the Indian state of Gujarat. He rattled off the items that cost more: the lentils that are a staple of his family’s diet; the cotton-oil cakes they feed to their dairy cows. Fertilizer. Diesel fuel for their tractor. Clothing, and school fees for the four children.

• Ongoing targeted investment is needed to protect our native land and aquatic environments and primary production from weeds, vertebrate and invertebrate pests and pathogens.

The pilot sites have been selected following extensive consultation with local boards, resulting in seven of the 21 Auckland local boards participating.At the outer edges of Auckland, the Franklin and Rodney local boards have approved seven and eight sites respectively.Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has approved five sites and the Upper Harbour Local Board has approved the use of Rosedale Reserve in Albany for the pilot scheme.The Howick Local Board has approved sites in Eastern Beach, Lloyd Elsmore Park and two Howick public carparks.In Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, sites have been approved at Panmure Lagoon’s Domain Reserve and the Panmure Wharf Reserve.Puketapapa Local Board is offering Margaret Griffen Park for the pilot and Albert-Eden Local Board has a site at Western Springs Community House."A key aim of the pilot programme is to try and reduce the impact of freedom campers on local access to parks, beaches and amenities," says Councillor Linda Cooper, chairwoman of the council’s regulatory committee.Throughout the trial, council officers will be ensuring the sites are kept well maintained and tidy, with clear accessways for the public to traverse and park."Both park users and campers need to be kept safe, and toilets and other amenities need to be maintained in good operating order.""We want to be welcoming hosts to our visitors. Campers bring an estimated $1.2 million a month into our economy over summer. However the influx of freedom campers into hot-spot areas – particularly in northeastern coastal and inner city locations – is creating problems. Overcrowding, parking and access difficulties, and increasing rubbish at popular destinations is frustrating local communities and other park users," says Cooper.Auckland is the gateway for most of the 3.4 million tourists that come to New Zealand and Auckland Council estimates 320 freedom camping vehicles a day are either travelling on its roads or parked in public places over summer."If we can encourage campers into new areas, we hope to reduce overcrowding and spread the tourism dollar to other local board economies, while also introducing visitors to some of the lesser-known but lovely corners of our city," she says.The council proposes using a range of regulatory and non-regulatory approaches to try to move campers around Auckland."We’ll be making good quality travel planning information more readily available to campers, using social media and printed information about alternative paid and free camping sites," says Michael Sinclair, manager – social policy and bylaws for Auckland Council.Information about day trips, events and things to do in participating local areas will encourage campers to explore and enjoy their surroundings."We want to do everything we can to encourage voluntary moving on, including ensuring our suggested alternatives feel safe for visitors, so we have been careful with location choices and will have security monitoring at sites," says Sinclair. There will also be increased monitoring of toilets and rubbish bins."During the pilot we will be vigilant with compliance monitoring. We will retain the ability to deploy a quick response team to any areas not coping with demand, and we will modify the conditions of camping (for example, by reducing the length of stay) or even shut down designated sites if they are causing a nuisance," he says.A report on the pilot programme will be presented to the council later in 2017 and will help inform the development of policies and regulations on freedom camping in Auckland.

At this point, once you’ve pretreated the stain, you can apply a stain remover (and, depending on the substance, even rub the mark with it). But you need to choose your cleanser wisely.
