ELECTRICAL SMOOTHING OF THE POWDER BED SURFACE IN LASER-BASED POWDER BED FUSION OF METALS


Enhanced thermoelectric performance via quantum confinement in a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor for thermal management

Abstract The performance of thermoelectric devices is gauged by the dimensionless figure of merit $${{{{{oldsymbol{ZT}}}}}}$$ ZT.Improving $${{{{{oldsymbol{ZT}}}}}}$$ ZT has proven to be a formidable challenge given the interdependence of its constitutive quantities, namely Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and t

Ketamine inhibits tumor necrosis factor secretion by RAW264.7 murine macrophages stimulated with antibiotic-exposed strains of community-associated, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract Background Infections caused by community-associated strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) are associated with a marked and prolonged host inflammatory response.In a sepsis simulation model, we tested whether the anesthetic ketamine inhibits the macrophage TNF response to antibiotic-exposed CA-MRSA bacteria via i
