Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Innovative Tungsten Coatings for an Application in Modern and Future Fusion Devices

Metals, 2023
Tungsten is foreseen presently as the plasma-facing material for divertors in fusion power plants. In order to achieve durable operation of divertors of current fusion reactors, an efficient way of maintaining the divertor functionality is needed.

Arsenite methyltransferase 3 is required for mitochondrial function and hepatic lipid metabolism

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
AS3MT is a protein that helps the body process arsenic, a naturally occurring toxin found in water and soil. We discovered it also helps cells make and use energy properly. Without AS3MT, cells' mitochondria do not work well, leading to fatty liver and reduced activity. Increasing AS3MT in liver cells restores energy and protects against arsenic damage,

Study of DIII-D tungsten erosion processes by using a carbon–tungsten mixed material model

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2019
The tungsten erosion process for an H-mode discharge from the DIII-D Metal Rings Campaign is modeled using OEDGE and TRIM.SP. The OEDGE code is employed to calculate tungsten erosion between edge-localized modes (ELMs).

Tungsten foil laminate for structural divertor applications – Tensile test properties of tungsten foil

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2013
Abstract This paper is the third part of our series on tungsten foil laminates. Within the tungsten laminate project we have succeeded in ductilizing tungsten by synthesizing a tungsten laminate made of tungsten foil, which is ductile. By assembling and joining several layers of tungsten foil, the ductile properties of the foil can be extended to the

Brain tissue classification in hyperspectral images using multistage diffusion features and transformer

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Brain surgery is a widely practised and effective treatment for brain tumours, but accurately identifying and classifying tumour boundaries is crucial to maximise resection and avoid neurological complications. This precision in classification is essential for guiding surgical decisions and subsequent treatment planning.

Self-castellation of tungsten monoblock under high heat flux loading and impact of material properties

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2017
In the full-tungsten divertor qualification program at ITER Organization, macro-cracks, so called self-castellation were found in a fraction of tungsten monoblocks during cyclic high heat flux loading at 20MW/m2.

The Need for Improved Public Transparency in the Era of Due Diligence Regulations

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address environmental and human rights issues in global commodity supply chains, governments increasingly require information from companies on their sourcing, as part of due‐diligence regulations (DDRs). This shift towards accountability to the regulator rather than to the public calls into question the role left for public transparency ...

Dust deposition on plasma-facing substrates extracted from the WEST Tokamak

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Dust particles deposited during the first phase of operation of the WEST tokamak were collected and analysed from substrates positioned at four distinct poloidal locations along the inner wall.

The contribution of peripheral nerves to the pleasure from scratching an itch: Evidence from a neuronopathy participant

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acute itch was experimentally induced using histamine and cowage in control participants (with no neuronopathy) and in IW, a participant with a large‐fibre sensory neuronopathy resulting in the loss of Aβ afferent function below C3, at the same time as largely preserving Aδ and C‐fibre function.
