Impact of Blood Transfusions After Kidney Transplantation on Clinical Outcomes and Broadness of Sensitisation.

Importance of background threshold value development within risk‐based corrective action programs

Abstract Risk‐based corrective action (RBCA) programs employ conservative models to develop default values for soil screening, which simplify the risk assessment process. However, for several naturally occurring metals (e.g., arsenic and le...

Achieving high strength in 430 stainless steel by laser powder bed fusion: microstructure-property relationships and strengthening strategies

Conventional manufacturing of 430 ferritic stainless steel faces significant challenges, including severe work hardening, rapid tool wear, and limited strengthening via heat treatment. To overcome these limitations, this study employs laser...

Evolution of the Shadow Effect with Film Thickness and Substrate Conductivity on a Hemispherical Workpiece during Magnetron Sputtering

When depositing films on a complex workpiece surface by magnetron sputtering, the shadow effect occurs and causes the columnar structure to tilt toward the substrate owing to the oblique incident angle of the plasma flux, affecting the micr...

Analytical solutions for time-dependent kinematic three-dimensional magnetic reconnection.

Magnetic reconnection is a process that can rapidly convert magnetic field energy into plasma thermal energy and kinetic energy, and it is also an important energy conversion mechanism in space physics, astrophysics and plasma physics. Rese...
