External gas-assisted mold temperature control and optimization molding parameters for improving weld line strength in polyamide plastics.

In this study, we present a novel approach to injection molding, focusing on the strength of weld lines in polyamide 6 (PA6) composite samples. By implementing a mold temperature significantly higher than the typical molding practice, which rarely exceeds 100°C, we assess the effects of advanced mold temperature management. The research introduces a newly engineered mold structure specifically designed for localized mold heating, distinguishing it as the 'novel cavity.

Nile blue as reporter dye in salt aggregation based-colorimetric aptasensors for peptide, small molecule and metal ion detection.

Herein, we report a novel approach for the design of a colorimetric aptasensor, relying on a Dye Salt Aggregation-based Colorimetric Oligonucleotide assay (DYSACO assay). This method is based on the use of an intercalating agent, Nile Blue (NB), whose aggregation capacities (and thus modification of its absorption spectrum) are drastically amplified by adding salts to the working solution. The presence of an aptamer could protect NB from such aggregation process due to its intercalation into double-stranded DNA and/or interaction with nucleobases.

Lung-protective mechanical ventilation for patients undergoing abdominal laparoscopic surgeries: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position in laparoscopic surgeries could contribute to postoperative pulmonary dysfunction. In recent years, intraoperative lung-protective mechanical ventilation (LPV) has been reportedly able to attenuate ventilator-induced lung injuries (VILI). Our objectives were to test the hypothesis that LPV could improve intraoperative oxygenation function, pulmonary mechanics and early postoperative atelectasis in laparoscopic surgeries.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for myasthenia gravis with thymoma: A six-year single-center experience.

Objectives: To investigate clinical and histopathological characteristics of Vietnamese patients with thymoma and myasthenia gravis (MG), and the outcomes of surgical management using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy.

Methods: A prospective study was carried out on 61 patients undergoing VATS thymectomy for MG class I, IIA with thymoma in the period from 10/2013 to 5/2019. The WHO histopathological classification, Masaoka's stages and MG grading using the guidelines of the Medical Scientific Advisory Board of the Myasthenia gravis foundation of America (MGFA) were used.

External Gas-Assisted Mold Temperature Control Improves Weld Line Quality in the Injection Molding Process.

Simulations and experiments were conducted with gas temperatures of 200-400 °C to investigate the impact of external gas-assisted mold temperature control (Ex-GMTC) on the quality of weld line of molding products. In the heating step, the heating rate was 19.6 °C/s from 30 to 128.

Second Iteration of Photogrammetric Processing to Refine Image Orientation with Improved Tie-Points .

Photogrammetric processing is available in various software solutions and can easily deliver 3D pointclouds as accurate as 1 pixel. Certain applications, e.g.

Polarization properties of garnet and groove films on garnet in the transmission and reflection modes.

Stokes polarimeters are most commonly used to measure the state of polarization of optical wave. Dependence of Stokes parameters, degree of polarization on external magnetic field are presented for garnet and groove films on garnet in the transmission and reflection modes. The Stokes parameters S1, S2, S3 of different modes show different tendency and asymmetrically change when the external magnetic field change, while the degree of polarization basically unchange.

Faraday Effect sensor redressed by Nd2Fe14B biasing magnetic film.

A Faraday Effect sensor with Nd(2)Fe(14)B biasing magnetic film was described. Ta/Nd(2)Fe(14)B/Ta films were grown by magnetron sputtering method. The magnetic domain in the sensor with the Nd(2)Fe(14)B biasing magnetic film can persist its distribution.
