In Key of Conflict: Dynamic of the Regional Work Industry in Mendoza, Argentina by Eliana Celeste Canafoglia

“…During this period, labor conflicts intensified: from complaints mainly oriented towards salary improvements and the ratification of collective work agreements to struggles for job sources, late payments and the firing of workers. With the objective of reflecting on the ongoing socio-productive transformations, we analyze this conflict in terms of the demands of workers, their actions and modes of resolution, distinguishing the productive sectors and the actors involved.…”

Enhanced Geometrical Self-calibration of planar CT by Erfan Bagheri, Amirhossein Saedpanah, Hamidreza Safari, Pouya Parvizian, Abbas Mohammadkazemi, Seyed Roohollah Hosseini

“…  Geometrical calibration of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) systems is essential for achieving accurate image reconstruction and enhancing spatial resolution. A modern application of these systems is planar CT imaging (Computed Laminography), which is particularly effective for imaging flat objects, such as printed circuit boards (PCBs). …”

A Role of Three-Dimensional (3D)-Reconstruction in the Classification of Lung Adenocarcinoma by Maristela L. Onozato, Veronica E. Klepeis, Yukako Yagi, Mari Mino-Kenudson

“…Background: Three-dimensional (3D)-reconstruction from paraffin embedded sections has been considered laborious and time-consuming. However, the high-resolution images of large object areas and different fields of view obtained by 3D-reconstruction make one wonder whether it can add a new insight into lung adenocarcinoma, the most frequent histology type of lung cancer characterized by its morphological heterogeneity.…”

Comparison of Quadratic– and Median-Based Roughness Penalties for Penalized-Likelihood Sinogram Restoration in Computed Tomography

“…Since the quadratic penalty allows for derivation of an algorithm that is guaranteed to monotonically increase the penalized-likelihood objective function, we find it to be preferable to the median-based penalty.…”

Speciation of Potentially Carcinogenic Trace Nickel(II) Ion Levels in Human Saliva: A Sequential Metabolomics-Facilitated High-Field ¹H NMR Investigation by Kayleigh Hunwin, Georgina Page, Mark Edgar, Mohammed Bhogadia, Martin Grootveld

“…<b>Introduction/Objectives:</b> Since the biological activities and toxicities of ‘foreign’ and/or excess levels of metal ions are predominantly determined by their precise molecular nature, here we have employed high-resolution ¹H NMR analysis to explore the ‘speciation’ of paramagnetic Ni(II) ions in human saliva, a potentially rich source of biomolecular Ni(II)-complexants/chelators. …”

Ion beam induced secondary electron tomography of acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate/polycarbonate polymer blends for fused filament fabrication and injection moulding by J. Hernández-Saz, D. Moreno-Sanchez, L. M. Valencia, Y. Gómez, S. I. Molina, M. Herrera

“…To understand the behaviour of the new materials obtained as well as the influence of the fabrication parameters used, methods to analyse the distribution of polymers in the blend with resolution below the micrometer are required. In this work, we demonstrate the capability of focused ion beam (FIB) tomography to provide 3D information of the polymer distribution in objects obtained by blending acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate (ASA) with polycarbonate (PC) (50 wt%), fabricated by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and by Injection Moulding (IM). …”
