Optimizing Laser Powder Bed Fusion Parameters for IN-738LC by Response Surface Method
(MDPI, 2020-10-30)
A method to find the optimum process parameters for manufacturing nickel-based superalloy Inconel 738LC by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology is presented. This material is known to form cracks during its processing ...
Effect of WEDM Process Parameters on Surface Morphology of Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy
(MDPI, 2020-11-03)
Nickel–titanium shape memory alloys (SMAs) have started becoming popular owing to their unique ability to memorize or regain their original shape from the plastically deformed condition by means of heating or magnetic or ...
Structural Characterization of the ICOS/ICOS-L Immune Complex Reveals High Molecular Mimicry by Therapeutic Antibodies
(Nature, 2020-10-08)
The inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) is a member of the CD28/B7 superfamily, and delivers a positive co-stimulatory signal to activated T cells upon binding to its ligand (ICOS-L). Dysregulation of this pathway has been ...
Evaluating the Effect of Different Base Temperatures to Calculate Degree-Days
(Sciendo, 2020-09)
Degree-days are used as a forecasting tool to predict energy demand and for normalizing energy consumption to be able to compare between different properties across different years. The base temperature is the main aspect ...
Imidazole-based ionogel as room temperature benzene and formaldehyde sensor
(Springer, 2020-11-04)
A room temperature benzene and formaldehyde gas sensor system with an ionogel as sensing material is presented. The sensing layer is fabricated employing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) polymerized in the presence of ...
Skills Requirements for the European Machine Tool Sector Emerging from Its Digitalization
(MDPI, 2020-12-13)
Abstract
The machine tool industry, which is the starting point of all the metal producing activities, is presently undergoing rapid and continuous changes as a result of the fourth industrial revolution Industry 4.0. ...
Melatonin Protects Cholangiocytes from Oxidative Stress-Induced Proapoptotic and Proinflammatory Stimuli via miR-132 and miR-34
(MDPI, 2020-12-18)
Biosynthesis of melatonin by cholangiocytes is essential for maintaining the function of biliary epithelium. However, this cytoprotective mechanism appears to be impaired in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). MiR-132 has ...
How is silicic acid transported in plants?
(Springer, 2020-11)
Plants accumulate silicon in their tissues as amorphous silica. The form of silicon taken up by plants is silicic acid, a neutral molecule that passes through membrane channels with water. After seminal work on rice ...
