Manufacturing Processes of Integral Blade Rotors for Turbomachinery, Processes and New Approaches
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)
Manufacturing techniques applied to turbomachinery components represent a challenge in the aeronautical sector. These components are commonly composed of high resistant super-alloys; in order to satisfy the extreme working ...
Abrasive Disc Performance in Dry-Cutting of Medium-Carbon Steel
(2020-04-19)
Abrasive-cutting processes are widely used to obtain semi-finished products from metal bars, slabs, or tubes. Thus, the abrasive cutting-off process is applied when requiring precision cutting and productivity at a moderate ...
Murine femur micro-computed tomography and biomechanical datasets for an ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis model
(Nature Research, 2021-09-15)
The development of new effective and safer therapies for osteoporosis, in addition to improved diagnostic and prevention strategies, represents a serious need in the scientific community. Micro-CT image-based analyses in ...
Cell and tissue level responses in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis dietarily exposed to PVP/PEI coated Ag nanoparticles at two seasons
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are present in numerous consumer products due to their antimicrobial and other unique properties, thus concerns about their potential input into aquatic ecosystems are increasing. Toxicity of ...
Effects of Gravity and Non-Perpendicularity during Powder-Fed Directed Energy Deposition of Ni-Based Alloy 718 through Two Types of Coaxial Nozzle
(MDPI, 2020-04-24)
The consequences of gravity and the nozzle inclination angle in the powder-fed Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process were examined in this study. We also sought to define guidelines and manufacturing strategies, depending ...
The Effect of a Family-Based Lifestyle Education Program on Dietary Habits, Hepatic Fat and Adiposity Markers in 8–12-Year-Old Children with Overweight/Obesity
(MDPI, 2020-05-16)
Healthy lifestyle education programs are recommended for obesity prevention and treatment. However, there is no previous information on the effects of these programs on the reduction of hepatic fat percentage. The aims ...
A New Approach in the Design of Microstructured Ultralight Components to Achieve Maximum Functional Performance
(MDPI, 2021-03-24)
In the energy and aeronautics industry, some components need to be very light but with high strength. For instance, turbine blades and structural components under rotational centrifugal forces, or internal supports, ask ...
Quantification of Biomarker Functionality Predicts Patient Outcomes
(Springer Nature, 2021-05-11)
Implementation of a quantitative molecular imaging method (iFRET), which determines receptor–ligand interactions, has led to the finding that patients with a low extent of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction in metastatic NSCLC, and ...
Immunogenomics of Colorectal Cancer Response to Checkpoint Blockade: Analysis of the KEYNOTE 177 Trial and Validation Cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows variable response to immune checkpoint blockade, which can only partially be explained by high tumor mutational burden (TMB). We conducted an integrated study of the cancer ...
Life Cycle Assessment of various biorefinery approaches for the valorisation of almond shells
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
In the near future, sustainable and efficient biorefineries would be essential for the production of commodity chemicals and high-added value compounds. Therefore, in this work, six scenarios differing on the delignification ...
