How immune surveillance and antitumor immunotherapy can overcome limitations in cancer treatment!

H

Advances in cancer treatment are evolving from surgery and chemotherapy to immunotherapy. Antitumor immunotherapy using immune surveillance and CTLs is gaining attention as an innovative way to selectively eliminate cancer cells with minimal damage to normal cells.   The fear of cancer and efforts to overcome it have been a constant in human history, both in the East and the West. Cancer...

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, how its structural flaws were addressed and how modern construction techniques opened up new possibilities.

T

The Leaning Tower of Pisa tilted due to soft ground, but modern geotechnical engineering techniques were used to reduce the tilt and stabilize it. Lessons learned from this process have been incorporated into modern architecture, leading to innovative structures such as intentionally tilted buildings and skyscrapers.   The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a structure located in the western Italian...

Why are flutes made of metal still classified as woodwind instruments?

W

Even though flutes are made of metals like gold and silver and don’t have reeds, they’re still classified as woodwind instruments. This is because an instrument’s classification is determined not only by its material, but also by the way it sounds and the characteristics of its playing. The flute is still classified as a woodwind instrument to this day because the player’s...

Why are metallic materials still essential in the automotive industry and will they play an important role in the future?

W

Metallic materials still play an important role in the automotive industry thanks to their excellent mechanical properties, which combine rigidity and ductility, and advances in materials science are making steel lighter and stronger. Dual phase steel and TWIP steel are the result of this research, and the possibilities for steel materials in the future are endless.   The materials that we...

How does the Department of Construction and Environmental Engineering build the infrastructure of modern society based on tradition and prepare for the future?

H

The Department of Construction and Environmental Engineering focuses on building the infrastructure of modern society based on traditional technologies, and in doing so, conducts various research and activities to pursue sustainable development and prepare for the future.   You’ve probably heard the phrase “all roads lead to Rome” at least once. Most people who hear this phrase think...

How does object-oriented programming differ from procedural orientation, and how is it implemented in C++?

H

Object-oriented programming emerged to overcome the limitations of procedural programming and uses the concepts of inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism to make code more reusable and secure. C++ implements these concepts through classes, templates, and more, and is both powerful and complex.   In the early days of programming after the development of computers, procedural programming...

What should college students look for in hardware and software when buying a laptop?

W

  Hardware and software are important factors when buying a laptop for college students. In addition to considering the performance of the hardware, such as CPU, RAM, and graphics card, you should also consider the software, such as the operating system, to ensure that you get the right product for your needs. It’s efficient to choose a high-performance product for demanding tasks and...

Could hybrid cars be the ultimate answer to future environmental challenges?

C

Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. This technology is increasingly seen as a key to solving the problem of environmental pollution, and is expected to improve urban air quality and contribute to sustainable development.   Since Karl Friedrich Benz invented the first internal combustion engine...

Can coffee’s temporary wake-up call bring us true relaxation and revitalization, or is it a bad choice for our bodies?

C

Coffee has become an energizing beverage for many of us, but the caffeine in it only temporarily suppresses fatigue, and in the long run, it can take a toll on your body. Instead of relying on its stimulating effects, it’s important to get enough rest and eat a balanced diet.   “Black as hell, strong as death, sweet as love” is a Turkish proverb that describes coffee. Coffee has...
