Abstract The progress of additive manufacturing (AM) within the last few decades has been phenomenal, progressing from a polymeric technique to method for metallic aerospace components. We take look at various technological advances which have helped paved way this growth, focussing on European input, as currently, 54 % AM machines are sold by manufacturers [1]. deep dives into several critical...

We report on our progress and development of high speed flexible graphene field effect transistors (GFETs) with high electron and hole mobilities (~3000 cm/V·s), and intrinsic transit frequency in the microwave GHz regime. We also describe the design and fabrication of flexible graphene based radio frequency system. This RF communication system consists of graphite patch antenna at 2.4 GHz, gra...

Though the value of a right should be not lower than zero, negative voting premiums often appear in recent empirical evidence. The present paper highlights some possible measurement errors and contemporary proposes a new measure, the vote segment, which incorporates all dividend privileges. Results from Italian non-voting shares listed in the 1999-2008 period show that the more accurate measure...

Much of the research for this paper also connects with the work of the ESRC funded NEXSUS project coordinated by Peter Allen. I am particularly grateful to Richard Nelson and an anonymous referee for their constructive and helpful comments on a previous draft. An insistent theme in Richard Nelson's work is that of 'capitalism as an engine of progress'. In this paper I explore this idea through ...

Background:  Hydrogen has been demonstrated can selectively reduce the hydroxyl, which is the main cause of ionizing radiation-induced damage. Amifostine (AM) is the only radioprotective drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in radiotherapy. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the combined radio-protective effect of hydrogen rich water (HRW) and AM....

Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) are drivers in today's business world. To perform amid this accelerated change the digitalization progress, organizations implementing agility. However, such an implementation does not happen without stumbling blocks some fail. One reason for is actors’ agile mindset (AM), which necessary to deal succefully within a VUCA environment. Kno...

I am concerned with two views of quantum mechanics that John S. Bell called " unromantic " : spontaneous wave function collapse and Bohmian mechanics. I discuss some of their merits and report about recent progress concerning extensions to quantum field theory and relativity. In the last section, I speculate about an extension of Bohmian mechanics to quantum gravity.
