Physical and mechanical moisture susceptibility of asphaltic mixtures
AbstractMoisture has for a long time been recognized as a serious contributor to premature degradation of asphaltic pavements. Many studies have been performed to collect, describe and measure the moisture susceptibility of asphaltic mixes. Most of these aimed at a comparative measure of moisture damage, either via visual observations from field data ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve
