Influence of Minor Alloying Element Additions on the Crack Susceptibility of a Nickel Based Superalloy Manufactured by LPBF
(MDPI, 2021-09-30)
Inconel 738LC (IN738LC) is a nickel-based superalloy specially used in the hot section components of turbine engines. One of its main drawbacks relies on the cracking susceptibility when it is manufactured by laser powder ...
The Arabidopsis Transcription Factor CDF3 Is Involved in Nitrogen Responses and Improves Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Tomato
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-24)
Nitrate is an essential macronutrient and a signal molecule that regulates the expression of multiple genes involved in plant growth and development. Here, we describe the participation of Arabidopsis DNA binding with one ...
Effect of crystallization of the polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane block on self-assembly in hybrid organic-inorganic block copolymers with salt
(Elsevier, 2021-03-01)
[EN] We present a DSC and X-ray scattering study investigating the effect of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) block crystallinity on the self-assembly of a poly(acryloisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane)- ...
Reflections and Insights on the Evolution of the Biological Remediation of Contaminated Soils
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09-16)
The field of soil biological remediation was initially focused on the use of microorganisms. For organic contaminants, biostimulation and bioaugmentation were the strategies of choice. For heavy metals, bioremediation was ...
Quantifying the patients perspective in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: Psychometric properties of the SymptoMScreen questionnaire
(Public Library Of Science, 2021-07-29)
BACKGROUND: The assessment of self-reported outcomes in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is limited by the lack of validated disease-specific measures. The SymptoMScreen (SyMS) is a patient-reported questionnaire ...
Learning word order: early beginnings
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
We examine the beginning of the acquisition of the relative order of function and content words, a fundamental but cross-linguistically highly variable aspect of grammar. A review of the existing empirical literature shows ...
Overhead line ampacity forecasting and a methodology for assessing risk and line capacity utilization
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
This paper proposes a methodology for overhead line ampacity forecasting that enables empirical probabilistic forecasts to be made up to one day ahead, which is useful for grid scheduling and operation. The proposed method ...
Influence of Backbone Curvature on the Organic Electrochemical Transistor Performance of Glycolated Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers
(Wiley, 2021-09-01)
Two new glycolated semiconducting polymers PgBT(F)2gT and PgBT(F)2gTT of differing backbone curvatures were designed and synthesised for application as p-type accumulation mode organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) ...
Polycaprolactone Adsorption and Nucleation onto Graphite Nanoplates for Highly Flexible, Thermally Conductive, and Thermomechanically Stiff Nanopapers
(American Chemical Society, 2021-12-15)
[EN] Free-standing nanopapers based on graphene and its related materials have been widely studied and proposed for flexible heat spreader applications. Given that these materials are typically brittle, this work reports ...
Cubic 3D Chern photonic insulators with orientable large Chern vectors
(Nature Research, 2021-12-17)
[EN]Chern number controls the number of surface state channels in topological insulators. Here the authors propose 3D Chern insulating cubic photonic crystals with orientable and arbitrarily large Chern numbers demonstrating ...
