Analysis of the Process Parameter Influence in Laser Cladding of 316L Stainless Steel
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Laser Cladding is one of the leading processes within Additive Manufacturing technologies, which has concentrated a considerable amount of effort on its development. In regard to the latter, the current study aims to ...
iPS Cell Cultures from a Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker Patient with the Y218N PRNP Mutation Recapitulate tau Pathology
(Humana Press, 2018-04)
Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker (GSS) syndrome is a fatal autosomal dominant neurodegenerative prionopathy clinically characterized by ataxia, spastic paraparesis, extrapyramidal signs and dementia. In some GSS familiar ...
Formation of Surface and Quantum-Well States in Ultra Thin Pt Films on the Au(111) Surface
(MDPI, 2017-12-09)
The electronic structure of the Pt/Au(111) heterostructures with a number of Pt monolayers n ranging from one to three is studied in the density-functional-theory framework. The calculations demonstrate that the deposition ...
The Mimetic Born-Infeld Gravity: The Primordial Cosmos and Spherically Symmetric Solutions
(MDPI, 2017-11-27)
The Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld (EiBI) model is reformulated within the mimetic approach. In the presence of a mimetic field, the model contains non-trivial vacuum solutions. We study a realistic primordial vacuum ...
Retained Austenite Control for the Soft Machining of High-Hardness Tool Steels
(MDPI, 2018-07-23)
Most high-hardness tool steels comprising forming dies require expensive finish machining operations to compensate for the dimensional distortion and surface oxidation caused by the die heat treatment. Precipitation-hardening ...
Quantum-Gravitational Effects on Primordial Power Spectra in Slow-Roll Inflationary Models
(MDPI, 2018-01-08)
We review the computation of the power spectra of inflationary gauge-invariant perturbations in the context of canonical quantum gravity for generic slow-roll models. A semiclassical approximation, based on an expansion ...
Development, characterization and comparisons of targeted and non-targeted metabolomics methods
(Public Library Science, 2018-11-15)
The potential of a metabolomics method to detect statistically significant perturbations in the metabolome of an organism is enhanced by excellent analytical precision, unequivocal identification, and broad metabolomic ...
A redox-active radical as an effective nanoelectronic component: stability and electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in ionic liquids
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-28)
A redox-active persistent perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical chemically linked to gold exhibits stable electrochemical activity in ionic liquids. Electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in this medium demonstrates that ...
Relapse patterns and outcome after relapse in standard risk medulloblastoma: a report from the HIT-SIOP-PNET4 study
(Springer, 2016-09)
The HIT-SIOP-PNET4 randomised trial for standard risk medulloblastoma (MB) (2001-2006) included 338 patients and compared hyperfractionated and conventional radiotherapy. We here report the long-term outcome after a median ...
Combining statistical techniques to predict postsurgical risk of 1-year mortality for patients with colon cancer
(Dove Medical Press, 2018)
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies and a common cause of cancer-related mortality. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a clinical predictive model for 1-year ...
