Membranes are considered as a promising technology for separation and filtration processes.Here, novel polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous multilayer membranes were fabricated by wire-based industrial electrospinning equipment following by a lamination process.The lamination process was optimised Rangehood Vent Adaptor under various applied
Structure and Migration Mechanisms of Small Vacancy Clusters in Cu: A Combined EAM and DFT Study
Voids in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals are commonly assumed to form via the aggregation of vacancies; however, the mechanisms of vacancy clustering and diffusion are not fully understood.In this study, we use computational modeling to provide a detailed insight into the structures and formation energies of primary vacancy clusters, mechanisms an
From the 8-Hour Day to the 40-Hour Week: Legitimization Discourses of Labour Legislation between the Wars in France and Belgium
In the interwar period both France Bedside Cases and Belgium passed legislation reducing the number of working hours and established a hybrid regulatory regime lending a certain degree of official authority to collective agreements.The paper analyses discourses by scholars who, as experts, were close to the political elites, and who tried to legiti
Intervertebral Disc-on-a-Chip as Advanced In Vitro Model for Mechanobiology Research and Drug Testing: A Review and Perspective
Discogenic back pain is one of the most diffused musculoskeletal pathologies and a hurdle to a good quality of life for millions of people.Existing therapeutic options are exclusively directed at reducing symptoms, not at targeting the underlying, still poorly understood, degenerative processes.Common intervertebral disc (IVD) disease models still
Decreased ubiquitin modifying enzyme A20 associated with hyper-responsiveness to ovalbumin challenge following intrauterine growth restriction
Abstract Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is strongly correlated with an increased risk of asthma later in life.Farm dust protects mice from developing house dust mite-induced asthma, and loss of ubiquitin modifying enzyme A20 in lung epithelium would abolish this protective effect.However, the mechanisms of A20 in the development
