There has been a long search for cognitive assessments that reveal aptitudes thought to be useful for treatment planning. In this regard, since the 1990s, there has been some enthusiasm for the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) and its potential promise for informing treatment due to its alignment of theory, assessment instrument, and suite of interventions. The purpose of this meta-analytic review was to synthesize research pertinent to the treatment utility of the CAS according to a taxonomy of treatment utility.

In addressing sensing in harsh and dynamic environments, there are no available millimeter-wave chipless and wireless sensors capable of continuous operation at extremely high temperatures. Here we present a fully dielectric wireless temperature sensor capable of operating beyond 1000 C. The sensor uses high-Q cavities embedded within a three-dimensional photonic crystal resonating at 83.

Inhibition of translation initiation using eIF4A inhibitors like (-)-didesmethylrocaglamide [(-)-DDR] and (-)-rocaglamide [(-)-Roc] is a potential cancer treatment strategy as they simultaneously diminish multiple oncogenic drivers. We showed that human and dog osteosarcoma cells expressed higher levels of eIF4A1/2 compared with mesenchymal stem cells. Genetic depletion of eIF4A1 and/or 2 slowed osteosarcoma cell growth.
