An Overview of Extensive Analysis of 3D Printing Applications in the Manufacturing Sector by M. Jayakrishna, M. Vijay, Baseem Khan

“…The original study findings indicate that, while 3D printing technology has made great advances, there are still challenges that need to be addressed; however, the obstacles appear to vary: the cost of preprocessing and postprocessing, a restricted selection of materials, and technological constraints are the most significant 3D printing challenges. …”

The politics of gating (A response to Private Security and Public Space by Manzi and Smith-Bowers) by Rowland Atkinson

“…Critically then the risk is that ignoring the political and normative aspects of gating, as I believe Manzi and Smith-Bowers do, may lead to further and deeper socio-spatial segregation that itself excludes the voice of social groups least able to challenge or, indeed, reside in gated developments and the additional security that they appear to offer. …”

Inflammatory Response Mechanisms Exacerbating Hypoxemia in Coexistent Pulmonary Fibrosis and Sleep Apnea by Ayodeji Adegunsoye, Jay Balachandran

“…Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1), interleukin- (IL-) 1α, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC-1, CINC-2α/β), lipopolysaccharide induced CXC chemokine (LIX), monokine induced by gamma interferon (MIG-1), macrophage inflammatory protein- (MIP-) 1α, MIP-3α, and nuclear factor- (NF-) κB appear to mediate disease progression. Adipocytes may induce hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) 1α production; GERD is associated with increased levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α); pulmonary artery myocytes often exhibit increased cytosolic free Ca2+. …”
