Tuning dunaliella tertiolecta for enhanced antioxidant production by modification of culture conditions by Uttam K Roy, Birthe V Nielsen, John J Milledge

“…Microalgae, a popular source of food and bioactive compounds, accumulate antioxidants in response to culture condition stresses. Using a factorial design (3 × 3), the effect of light, temperature, and nitrogen level on chlorophyll and carotenoids, total protein, total phenolic, ascorbate and glutathione content, and enzyme (catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidase (POD)) activities in Dunaliella tertiolecta was studied. …”

An empirical laser sintering time estimator for Duraform PA by M. Ruffo, Christopher Tuck, Richard J.M. Hague

“…The estimator presented here is based upon object geometry and therefore the fundamental data driving the model is obtainable from current three dimensional Computer Aided Design (3D-CAD) models. The aim of the paper is to define a model describing the build times for a laser sintering machine either for single or multiple objects.…”

Analytical Design Planning for Technique (ADePT) : programming the building design process by Simon Austin, Andrew Baldwin, Baizhan Li, Paul R. Waskett

“…The authors have developed computer tools to enable each stage to be undertaken in an efficient manner and thus, facilitate more effective planning and management of building design3. This paper reviews current problems in design planning within the construction industry and the use of a Dependency Structure Matrix tool to order the detailed design process. …”

Fracture of 3D-printed polymers: Crucial role of filament-scale geometric features by James Allum, Andy Gleadall, Vadim Silberschmidt

“…This study demonstrates that filament-scale geometric features may be a more important factor than filament bonding. Specially designed 3D-printed compact tension specimens were tested normal to, and along, the direction of extruded filaments. …”

Interlayer bonding has bulk-material strength in extrusion additive manufacturing: New understanding of anisotropy by James Allum, Amirpasha Moetazedian, Andy Gleadall, Vadim Silberschmidt

“…This study demonstrates that the interface between layers in 3D-printed polylactide has strength of the bulk filament. Specially designed 3D-printed tensile specimens were developed to test mechanical properties in the direction of the extruded filament (F specimens), representing bulk material properties, and normal to the interface between 3D-printed layers (Z specimens). …”

Increased connectivity of hiPSC-derived neural networks in multiphase granular hydrogel scaffolds by Chia-Chen Hsu, Julian H George, Sharlayne Waller, Cyril Besnard, David A Nagel, Eric Hill, Michael D Coleman, Alexander M Korsunsky, Zhanfeng Cui, Hua Ye

“…Herein, granular hydrogel-based scaffolds were used to support 3D human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural networks. A custom designed 3D printed toolset was developed to extrude hyaluronic acid hydrogel through a porous nylon fabric to generate hydrogel granules. …”

Investigation of fibroblast and keratinocyte cell-scaffold interactions using a novel 3D cell culture system by Tao Sun, David Norton, Anthony J. Ryan, Sheila MacNeil, John W. Haycock

“…Electrospun aligned poly L-lactic acid fibres (2–10 μ m) were bound to form fibres with a broad range of diameters (2–120 μ m) and then constructed in a specifically designed 3D cell culture system. Human dermal fibroblasts were introduced to one end of the free-standing fibres using a fibrin clot and encouraged to ‘walk the plank’. …”

Designing an amendment to UNECE regulation 167 to improve technology neutrality by Steve Summerskill, Russell Marshall, Abby Paterson, Anthony Eland

“…Initial Approaches and Studies:o Multiple studies were conducted to explore different methods of defining frontal visibility volumes and to test their effectiveness.o Study 1 focused on testing various frontal volume definitions to ensure technology neutrality.o Study 2 examined the variance in visibility with different A-pillar positions, crucial for maintaining consistent safety standards across diverse vehicle designs.3. Challenges and Further Research:o The initial approaches highlighted potential problems where manufacturers could enhance frontal visibility without genuinely improving safety.o Further analysis and stakeholder consultations led to the development of a more robust approach, integrating additional VRU simulations and automated tools to streamline the assessment process.4. …”
