A Theoretical Model of the Flow Properties of Postprocessed Direct Metal Laser Sintering Ti6Al4V (ELI) by A. M. Muiruri, M. Maringa, W. du Preez

“…According to the model, higher initial dislocation density results in higher yield stress, low strain hardening, and earlier saturation of flow stress. The model shows that the parabolic shape of the stress-strain curve of the alloy is dictated by the initial dislocation density, which is generally a factor of grain size.…”

Effect of Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Member LIGHT (TNFSF14) on the Activation of Basophils and Eosinophils Interacting with Bronchial Epithelial Cells by Huai Na Qiu, Chun Kwok Wong, Jie Dong, Christopher Wai-Kei Lam, Zhe Cai

“…Results showed that LIGHT could significantly promote intercellular adhesion, cell surface expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, release of airway remodeling-related IL-6, CXCL8, and MMP-9 from BEAS-2B cells upon interaction with basophils/eosinophils, probably via the intercellular interaction, cell surface receptors HVEM and LTβR on BEAS-2B cells, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38 mitogen activated protein kinase, and NF-κB signaling pathways. …”

Lunar and Martian gravity alter immune cell interactions with endothelia in parabolic flight by Yu Du, Bing Han, Katharina Biere, Nathalie Abdelmalek, Xinyu Shu, Chaoyang Song, Guangyao Chen, Ning Li, Marina Tuschen, Huan Wu, Shujin Sun, Alexander Choukér, Mian Long, Dominique Moser

“…Floating speed of THP-1 cells was increased in partial gravity, which was accompanied by a successively lower adhesion to the endothelial HUVEC cells. Expression levels of the adhesion markers Mac-1 on THP-1 cells as well as ICAM-1 on HUVECs were found elevated in lunar and Martian gravity, which was aggravated by TNF. …”

Performance of Cunninghamia lanceolata / Uncaria Composite Particleboard by Qiaoyan Zhang, Longxu Wu, Huagang Liao, Qingqing Yang, Haiyuan Yang, Yang Yang, Xin He, Linjing Lan, De Li, Zhigang Wu

“…Particleboards were prepared with thinning wood of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Chinese fir) and wood shavings of waste Uncaria sinensis branches by using melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin as the adhesive. Influences of particle mass ratio of C. lanceolata to Uncaria, adhesive loading, and target density on internal bonding strength (IB), modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), thickness swelling rate of water absorption (TS), and water absorption (WA) of the composite particleboard were investigated. …”
