PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN ENGINEERING DESIGN APPROACHES BASED ON GENERATIVE DESIGN AND TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION TOOLS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Performance-Driven Engineering Design Approaches Based on Generative Design and Topology Optimization Tools: A Comparative Study

The advent of Additive Manufacturing (AM) is uncovering the limits of the current CAD systems and, at the same time, is highlighting the potentials of the Topology Optimization (TO) and Generative Design (GD) tools that had not been fully exploited until now.Differently from the traditional design approach in which designers occupy a predominant ro

Effect of biomass pre-treatment on supercritical CO2 extraction of lipids from marine diatom Amphora sp. and its biomass evaluation as bioethanol feedstock

Marine diatoms are a potential source for lipids and carbohydrates, which can have several applications ranging from biofuels to T-Shirt nutraceuticals.Due to their siliceous cellular structure and the complex nature of different lipid classes, it is important to understand the effect of biomass pre-treatment on the extractability of marine diatom

Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar trophozoites in the liver of hamsters: in vivo binding of antibodies and complement

Abstract Background Human amoebiasis is caused by the parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica that lives in the large intestine of hosts, where can produce asymptomatic colonization until severe invasive infections 404 with blood diarrhea and spreading to other organs.The amoebic abscesses in liver are the most frequent form of amoebiasis outside

Clonal expansion of the Pseudogymnoascus destructans genotype in North America is accompanied by significant variation in phenotypic expression.

Pseudogymnoascus destructans is the causative agent of an emerging infectious disease that threatens populations of several North American USB Type-C U Dock bat species.The fungal disease was first observed in 2006 and has since caused the death of nearly six million bats.The disease, commonly known as white-nose syndrome, is characterized by a cut
