The effective structural health monitoring (eSHM) system fully exploits the flexibility offered by the 3D printing process for analysis of the structural integrity of additive manufactured parts by integrating a smart technology inside the component. The eSHM system relies on the propagation of pressure waves through capillaries/small ducts embedded in 3D printed metallic components and allows the detection and localization of fatigue cracks. However, the nature and propagation of these waves seem to be determinant for the accuracy of the crack localization system.

Seabirds have evolved numerous adaptations that allow them to thrive under hostile conditions. Many seabirds share similar colour patterns, often with dark wings, suggesting that their coloration might be adaptive. Interestingly, these darker wings become hotter when birds fly under high solar irradiance, and previous studies on aerofoils have provided evidence that aerofoil surface heating can affect the ratio between lift and drag, i.

We report on a comparative study of the basic separation kinetics of commercial packed bed columns and a micro-pillar array column (μPAC) working in the 1-10μL/min flow rate range, i.e., operating in the area of capillary flow LC.

Several somatic ribosome defects have recently been discovered in cancer, yet their oncogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the pathogenic role of the recurrent R98S mutation in ribosomal protein L10 (RPL10 R98S) found in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). The JAK-STAT signaling pathway is a critical controller of cellular proliferation and survival.

A backscattered laser light technique for sizing spherical and irregular particles is investigated in this paper. Two different interference patterns (glory and speckle), appearing in the backscatter region when a single droplet is illuminated with a laser light source, were recorded by a CCD camera. A theoretical model, based on a geometrical optics approximation, has been first developed to retrieve particle size from the analysis of these patterns and then applied to liquid and frozen water droplets with sizes ranging from 1 to 2 mm.
