Article Abstract
Directed energy deposition (DED) is a form of additive manufacturing available across a variety of laser spot diameter values, often referred to as spot sizes. However, there is no method to easily transfer process parameters across discrete spot sizes, leading to DED process parameters that are equipment specific and not widely applicable. In this study, a strategy is proposed and investigated for five spot sizes that keep the areal energy density constant while varying power, feed rate, and powder flow during the deposition of 316L stainless steel. An assessment of trends in hardness and microstructure is possible due to the novel production of components of a single material across several spot sizes using a single nozzle on a single DED system. The proposed strategy was used to nullify the hardness drop during functional grading of Inconel 625 and pure copper, enabling fabrication of multi-material sample that does not compromise desirable properties. This application shows the value in establishing more efficient process parameter development and understanding spot size influences on geometric and material property flexibility, to enable a more diverse powder-based DED design space and to increase the industry adoption of DED systems.

Contextual and psychosocial factors associated with latrine utilization in rural communities in Ethiopia.
Front Public Health
December 2024
College of Health Sciences, Oda Bultum University, Chiro, Ethiopia.
Background: Although proper latrine utilization is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of infection, it remains a challenge in the majority of rural communities in developing countries such as Ethiopia. Studies have demonstrated the link between individual behavior and latrine use, but there is a paucity of evidence on individual risk perception, perceived social pressure norms, social identity, and perceived ability, which plays an indubitable role in health and behavior change, especially in rural communities.
Objective: This study aimed to identify contextual and psychosocial factors associated with latrine utilization among rural communities in Lomabosa district, Ethiopia.
Optimizing chitosan nanoparticles for oral delivery of double-stranded RNA in treating white spot disease in shrimp: Key insights and practical implications.

Delivering double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in shrimp is challenging due to the lack of an effective carrier system. This study optimized chitosan nanoparticles (CNs) from two sources-α-chitosan from shrimp and β-chitosan from squid-to encapsulate antiviral dsRNA for oral administration via shrimp feed. Using response surface methodology (RSM), formulations were refined for encapsulation efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential.

The increase in multi drug resistance (MDR) amongst food-borne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, coupled with the upsurge of food-borne infections caused by these pathogens is a major public health concern. Lytic phages have been employed as an alternative to antibiotics for use against food-borne pathogens. However, for effective application, phages should be selectively toxic.

Micropollutants (MPs) in aquaculture water are directly related to human health, but largely overlooked. The conventional water treatment technologies could not effectively remove MPs, and new technologies have been pursued with high MP removal rate, low cost and small footprint. This paper reported the first endeavor of using layer-by-layer (LBL) hollow fiber (HF) nanofiltration (NF) membranes to treat real aquaculture water.

Background And Objective: One of the illnesses with most significant mortality and morbidity rates worldwide is lung cancer. From CT images, automatic lung tumor segmentation is significantly essential. However, segmentation has several difficulties, such as different sizes, variable shapes, and complex surrounding tissues.
