Cold sprayed Cu/Invar alloy composite by D.L. Ouyang, Z.R. Wang, T. Yang, L.W. Zhang, D. Wu, W.F. Chen, Q. Hu, S. Guo

“…For the target Cux(Fe64Ni36)100-x(x = 30–70, wt%) composites prepared by cold spray, the improved thermal expansion anisotropy was reflected by the negligible difference between the thermal expansion coefficient α along and perpendicular to the spray direction, and simultaneously no obvious inter-diffusion was observed between Cu and the Invar alloy Fe64Ni36 after annealing at 500 °C. …”

Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of spirobenzovesamicols as potential 11C-PET tracer alternatives to [18F]FEOBV for vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) imaging by Hugo Helbert, Winnie Deuther-Conrad, Michel de Haan, Barbara Wenzel, Gert Luurtsema, Wiktor Szymanski, Peter Brust, Rudi A. J. O. Dierckx, Ben L. Feringa, Philip H. Elsinga

“…Of all compound tested, (-)-2-methylspirobenzovesamicol ((-)-4) was the most promising with a 16 ± 4 nM affinity towards VAChT, a 29-fold weaker affinity for σ1 receptors and negligible binding (> 1 μM) towards σ2 receptors. The radiolabelling was performed from the corresponding bromide using a [11C]MeLi cross-coupling protocol, yielding 2-[11C]methylspirobenzovesamicol in 32–37% RCY. …”

Effect of potassium‐waterglass composition on strength development and leaching behavior of geopolymers in different curing conditions by Umberto C. C. S. Siciliano, Ana C. C. Trindade, Flávio de Andrade Silva

“…However, this difference diminishes to a negligible 7.6% after 3 days. Optimal ratios of H2O/K2O = 8.7 and K2O/Al2O3 = 1.3 were determined to be critical for achieving reliable strength measurements at 1 day of curing. pH assessments indicated strong water resistance in all GP formulations, with leaching primarily governed by diffusion mechanisms. …”

A large elevation in 15N/14N of collagenous amino acids: an insight from starvation experiments of marine organisms by Hyuntae Choi, Yuko Takizawa, Nayeon Park, Yoshito Chikaraishi

“…The effect of δ15N elevation in all amino acids of collagen is negligible for G. punctata and diluted for T. sazae to the elevation in whole muscle tissue (i.e., = muscle fibers + collagen) even under long-term starvation, because the collagen proportion in the whole muscle is relatively small and is considerably decreased under the nutritional stress. …”
