INVESTIGATING THE SHAPE MEMORY PROPERTIES OF 4D PRINTED POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA) AND THE CONCEPT OF 4D PRINTING ONTO NYLON FABRICS FOR THE CREATION OF SMART TEXTILES

3D printing is an ever growing industry that provides many benefits to the advanced manufacturing and design industry.However, parts tend to be Set static, rigid, and lack multi-purpose use.Recently, a new technology has emerged that uses 3D printing to print parts with the ability to change shape over time when exposed to different external stimul

Abstract Background Systematic reviews that assess the benefits of interventions often do not completely capture all dimensions of the adverse effects.This cross-sectional study (part 1 of 2 studies) assessed whether adverse effects were sought, whether the findings on these effects were reported, and what types of adverse effects were identified i

The performance of serologic tests in chronic Chagas disease diagnosis largely depends on the type and quality of the antigen preparations that are used for detection of anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies.Whole-cell T.cruzi extracts or recombinant proteins have shown variation in the performance and cross-reactivity.Synthetic chimeric proteins compr

Background.The development and implementation of a remediation plan for the residual arsenic trioxide stored at the former Giant Mine site in the Canadian Northwest Territories has raised important issues related to trust.Social and individual trust of those responsible for making decisions on risks is critically important in community judgements o
