Multimaterial powder bed fusion techniques
(2022)Rapid Prototyping JournalPurpose This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in powder bed fusion (PBF) techniques for additive manufacturing of multiple materials. It reviews the emerging technologies in PBF multimaterial printing and summarizes the latest simulation approaches for modeling them. The topic of “multimaterial PBF techniques” is still very new, undeveloped, and of interest to academia and industry on many ...Review Article -
Small molecules of herbal origin for osteoarthritis treatment: in vitro and in vivo evidence
(2022)Arthritis Research & TherapyOsteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common musculoskeletal degenerative diseases and contributes to heavy socioeconomic burden. Current pharmacological and conventional non-pharmacological therapies aim at relieving the symptoms like pain and disability rather than modifying the underlying disease. Surgical treatment and ultimately joint replacement arthroplasty are indicated in advanced stages of OA. Since the underlying mechanisms ...Review Article -
Behavior matters: A systematic review of representing consumer mobility choices in energy models
(2022)Energy Research & Social ScienceConsumer behavior is gaining increased attention for climate mitigation efforts, especially in the transportation sector. Thus, representing consumer mobility behavior in energy models is being strengthened to simulate realistic future vehicle and mode choices. This work focuses on two widespread concepts that modelers apply: (1) endogenous integration of mobility behavior in standalone energy models and (2) coupling complementary models ...Review Article -
T cell immunity to cytomegalovirus infection
(2022)Current Opinion in ImmunologyT cell responses are critical for controlling cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. However, CMV expresses immune evasion genes promoting escape from T cell immunity. Furthermore, CMV persistence in form of latency, coupled with viral reactivation events, provokes two unique features of CMV-specific CD8 T cell responses: their size and phenotype. CMV-specific T cells with certain specificities respond to the infection by an initial expansion ...Review Article -
Analytical modeling of advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage: Literature review and new models
(2022)Renewable and Sustainable Energy ReviewsWe review the literature on analytical models of advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage plants with isochoric reservoirs, with a focus on the insights that can be extracted from the models. The review indicates that models for plants with adiabatic reservoirs, adiabatic turbomachinery, and without throttling is missing from the literature. We proceed to derive such models, assuming that the plant is operating at the quasi-steady ...Review Article -
Towards a system-level causative knowledge of pollinator communities
(2022)Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological SciencesPollination plays a central role in both crop production and maintaining biodiversity. However, habitat loss, pesticides, invasive species and larger environmental fluctuations are contributing to a dramatic decline of pollinators worldwide. Different management solutions require knowledge of how ecological communities will respond following interventions. Yet, anticipating the response of these systems to interventions remains extremely ...Review Article -
Iodide sources in the aquatic environment and its fate during oxidative water treatment – A critical review
(2022)Water ResearchIodine is a naturally-occurring halogen in natural waters generally present in concentrations between 0.5 and 100 µg L−1. During oxidative drinking water treatment, iodine-containing disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) can be formed. The formation of I-DBPs was mostly associated to taste and odor issues in the produced tap water but has become a potential health problem more recently due to the generally more toxic character of I-DBPs ...Review Article -
Conductive properties of triphenylene MOFs and COFs
(2022)Coordination Chemistry ReviewsTriphenylene (TP) based materials have experienced a great expansion in the latest years. TP molecules have interesting optoelectronic properties, arising from the aromatic core, which have been exploited in functional two-dimensional (2D) Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) aside other organic polymers. In this review we summarize synthetic approaches of TP-based 2D MOFs and COFs emphasizing on the ...Review Article -
Application of metabolic engineering to enhance the content of alkaloids in medicinal plants
(2022)Metabolic Engineering CommunicationsPlants are a rich source of bioactive compounds, many of which have been exploited for cosmetic, nutritional, and medicinal purposes. Through the characterization of metabolic pathways, as well as the mechanisms responsible for the accumulation of secondary metabolites, researchers have been able to increase the production of bioactive compounds in different plant species for research and commercial applications. The intent of the current ...Review Article -
Vector boson scattering processes: Status and prospects
(2022)Reviews in PhysicsInsight into the electroweak (EW) and Higgs sectors can be achieved through measurements of vector boson scattering (VBS) processes. The scattering of EW bosons are rare processes that are precisely predicted in the Standard Model (SM) and are closely related to the Higgs mechanism. Modifications to VBS processes are also predicted in models of physics beyond the SM (BSM), for example through changes to the Higgs boson couplings to gauge ...Review Article
