Fused deposition modeling is one of the most widely used 3-D printing technologies, among other additive manufacturing processes, because it easy to use, can produce parts faster, and cost finished part low. Printing processes are often studied characterized using different techniques collect mechanical, numerical, thermal dimensional data, with aim improving optimizing result. The first this r...

Optimum process parameters for manufacturing a Ti10Mo alloy biomedical applications via the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) were determined. Fused tracks produced over wide range of powers and scanning speeds, layers fused at varied hatch distances. The samples analysed continuity tracks, melting distribution Mo particles in layers, surface roughness, homogeneity matrix microhardness. analysis r...

The hepatitis B virus envelope gene encodes three transmembrane proteins in frame; S, the product of S gene; M, the product of M (pre-S2 + S) gene; and L, the product of L (pre-S1 + pre-S2 + S) gene. Unlike the S and M proteins, attempts to efficiently synthesize L proteins and assemble them into L protein particles in various eukaryotic cells have been unsuccessful, probably because of the pre...

BACKGROUND Malaria, an Anopheles-borne parasitic disease, remains a major global health problem causing illness and death that disproportionately affects developing countries. Despite the incidence of malaria, which remains one of the most severe infections of human populations, there is no licensed vaccine against this life-threatening disease. In this context, we decided to explore the expres...

Resin composites currently available are not suitable for use as large stress-bearing posterior restorations involving cusps due to their tendencies toward excessive fracture and wear. The glass fillers in composites provide only limited reinforcement because of the brittleness and low strength of glass. The aim of the present study was to reinforce dental resins with ceramic single-crystalline...

We consider the physical combinatorics of critical lattice models and their associated conformal field theories arising in the continuum scaling limit. As examples, we consider A-type unitary minimal models and the level-1 sl(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model. The Hamiltonian of the WZW model is the Uq(sl(2)) invariant XXX spin chain. For simplicity, we consider these theories only in their vac...

Nano-sized FePt capsules with two types of ultrathin shell were fabricated using a template method for use in a nano-scale drug delivery system. One capsule was composed of an inorganic-organic hybrid shell of a water-soluble polymer and FePt nanoparticles, and the other capsule was composed of a network of fused FePt nanoparticles. We demonstrated that FePt nanoparticles selectively accumulate...

In order to track the assembly of murine leukemia virus (MLV), we used fluorescence microscopy to visualize particles containing Gag molecules fused to fluorescent proteins (FPs). Gag-FP chimeras budded from cells to produce fluorescent spots, which passed through the same pore-size filters and sedimented at the same velocity as authentic MLV. N-terminal myristylation of Gag-FPs was necessary f...

The design of functional composite filaments for fused filament fabrication requires a suitable polymer composition, functionality particles, uniform distribution fillers throughout the filament, and adequate printability. Uniform at predictable concentrations is achieved by designing polymeric capsules containing using them as feedstock extrusion. Functionality can be inferred from that partic...
