DECprint Printing Services software controls a variety of printer features for a wide range of printers. It supports several different page description languages, handles multiple media simultaneously, and uses different I/O interconnections and communication protocols. Operating within the VMS printing environment, it implements a large number of user-specified options to the PRINT command. DE...

It is possible to observe that self-published magazines and zines aim tooffer readers something traditional titles, with their search for a largevolume of circulation, do not offer. This article had as main objective discussnew possibilities the publishing market, based on creative process anindependent magazine developed project conclude Design courseat Federal University Santa Catarina (UFSC)...

A unique live-cell printing technique, termed "Block-Cell-Printing" (BloC-Printing), allows for convenient, precise, multiplexed, and high-throughput printing of functional single-cell arrays. Adapted from woodblock printing techniques, the approach employs microfluidic arrays of hook-shaped traps to hold cells at designated positions and directly transfer the anchored cells onto various substr...

Digital Fabrication technologies exploit a variety of basic technologies to create tangible reproductions of 3D digital models. Even though current 3D printing pipelines still suffer of several restrictions, the reproduction accuracy has gradually reached an excellent level. Thanks to this advancement, the interests of manufacturing industry with respect to 3D printing techniques has significan...

In his invitation letter (invitation e-mail) the editor of Epidemiologia e Psichiatria Sociale, Professor Michele Tansella used the phrase: "...with the focus on the main problems to face in running a psychiatric journal". The present author should like to underline that he disagrees with Professor Michele Tansella in this attitude to the editor function. Running a journal is not, and should ne...

Objective Three-dimensional (3D)-printing technology is being employed in a variety of medical and surgical specialties to improve patient care and advance resident physician training. As the costs of implementing 3D printing have declined, the use of this technology has expanded, especially within surgical specialties. This article explores the types of 3D printing available, highlights the be...

Biopatterning has been increasingly used for well-defined cellular microenvironment, patterned surface topology, and guided biological cues; however, it meets challenges on biocompatibility, thermal and chemical sensitivity, as well as limited availability of reagents. In this paper, we aim at combining the desired features from non-contact inkjet printing and dot-matrix impact printing to esta...

We compare the maximum read range of passive ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tags that have been produced using different metal printing techniques, specifically inkjet printing and thermal transfer printing. We used the same substrate (THERMLfilm), antenna designs, and electronic circuitry in our comparison so as to isolate the effect of the metal printing. Due...

The principle of open-access (OA) publishing is more and more prevalent also on the field of laboratory medicine. Open-access journals (OAJs) are available online to the reader usually without financial, legal, or technical barriers. Some are subsidized, and some require payment on behalf of the author. OAJs are one of the two general methods for providing OA. The other one is self-archiving in...
