Additive manufacturing for vernacular architecture using local earthen soil and bio-waste materials by Arslan Yousaf (18021805)

“…This study addresses this gap by evaluating the 3D printability and design adaptability of local earthen soil reinforced with 0–4.5 wt% date palm fibers. Rheological characterization showed that increasing fiber content improved shear strength from 18 to 40 kPa, plastic viscosity from 25 to 38 Pa·s, and open time from 70 to 150 min. …”

Subsarcolemmal cAMP signals monitored by cyclic nucleotide gated channels in hypertrophied cardiac myocytes by Abi-Gerges, Aniella

Resveratrol-Elicited PKC Inhibition Counteracts NOX-Mediated Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells Exposed to High Glucose by Roberta Giordo (299595)

“…Here, we investigate whether EndMT is implicated in the diabetic retinopathy fibrotic process and evaluate the possibility that resveratrol could counteract EndMT by inhibiting high glucose (HG)-induced increases in ROS. Primary Human Retinal Endothelial Cells (HRECs) were either pre-treated for 24 h with 1 µM resveratrol or left untreated, then glucose (30 mM) was applied at 3-day intervals for 10 days. qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to detect mRNA or protein expression of endothelial markers (CD31, CDH5, vWF) or mesenchymal markers (VIM, αSMA and collagen I), respectively. …”

Hydrogen liquefaction and storage: Recent progress and perspectives by ZHANG, TONGTONG

“…Among these, liquid hydrogen, due to its high energy density, ambient storage pressure, high hydrogen purity (no contamination risks), and mature technology (stationary liquid hydrogen storage), is suitable for the transport of large-volumes of hydrogen over long distances and has gained increased attention in recent years. However, there are critical obstacles to the development of liquid hydrogen systems, namely an energy intensive liquefaction process (∼13.8 kWh/kgLH2) and high hydrogen boil-off losses (liquid hydrogen evaporation during storage, 1–5% per day). …”
