quality monitoring during embedded bioprinting using integrated microscopy and classical computer vision.

Despite significant advances in bioprinting technology, current hardware platforms lack the capability for process monitoring and quality control. This limitation hampers the translation of the technology into industrial GMP-compliant manufacturing settings. As a key step towards a solution, we developed a novel bioprinting platform integrating a high-resolution camera formonitoring of extrusion outcomes during embedded bioprinting.

Fog caused distinct diversity of airborne bacterial communities enriched with pathogens over central Indo-Gangetic plain in India.

Fog causes enhancement of bacterial loading in the atmosphere. Current study represents the impact of occurrences of fog on the alteration of diversity of airborne bacteria and their network computed from metagenomic data of airborne samples collected at Arthauli (25.95°N, 85.

Nitrogen-functionalized graphene quantum dot incorporated GelMA microgels as fluorescent 3D-tissue Constructs.

Biopolymer microgels present many opportunities in biomedicine and tissue engineering. To understand their behavior in therapeutic interventions, long-term monitoring is critical, which is usually achieved by incorporating fluorescent materials within the hydrogel matrix. Current research is limited due to issues concerning the biocompatibility and instability of the conventional fluorescent species, which also tend to adversely affect the bio-functionality of the hydrogels.

Effect of Local Structural Distortions on Antiferroelectric-Ferroelectric Phase Transition in Dilute Solid Solutions of KNaNbO.

The fundamental principles that govern antiferroelectric (AFE)-ferroelectric (FE) transitions are not well understood for many solid solutions of perovskite compounds. For example, crystal chemical considerations based on the average Goldschmidt tolerance factor or ionic polarizability do not precisely predict the boundary between the AFE and FE phases in dilute solid solutions of alkali niobates, such as KNaNbO ( ≤ 0.02).
