The mechanical properties of models are crucial in determining the industrial applications of additive manufacturing techniques. Material jetting (MJ) has been primarily limited to mold-making, prototyping, etc., owing to its low strength. Low viscosity andrapid curing, which are essential ink characteristics of MJ, lead to the low strength of MJ models. This study aimed to develop methods to increase the strength of MJ models by adding fillers to the ink. We optimized the shape and size of the filler, modified the surface properties, and optimized the methacrylate monomer formulation of the ink. To develop a colorization process suitable for filler-added inks, we investigated a method to apply transparent ink over small-colored ink droplets. We achieved a bending strength of 180 MPa for colorless models and177 MPa for colored models, which is remarkable compared to the typical MJ product strength of 90 MPa or less. These findings clarify the design guidelines for high-strength MJ ink, making the direct manufacturing of production parts requiring both esthetic beauty and high strength in colors, such as artificial teeth, dentures, and eyeglass frames, more realistic.

Nonfat set yogurts are very popular in Japan because of their health properties, but have the disadvantage of being hard and having large curd particles compared to fat-containing yogurts. We investigated the effect of lactose hydrolysis on nonfat set yogurt to determine whether this technique can improve the sensory evaluation and the texture of a nonfat set yogurt. We prepared nonfat yogurt mixes with 0, 50, 75, and100% lactose hydrolysis and fermented them. The sensory properties, physical properties, fermentation characteristics, extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) concentration and lactic acid bacteria count were then assessed. The results demonstrated that the lactose hydrolysis rate had no effect on the fermentation time. The 75% lactose hydrolysis increased the EPS concentration and inhibited post-acidification. The 100% lactose hydrolysis increased the number of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) and further increased the EPS concentration, anddespite the increase in the number of L. bulgaricus, the 100% lactose hydrolysis suppressed post-acidification. The results of a sensory evaluation showed that the 100% lactose hydrolysis increased the yogurt's viscosity and overall acceptability and suppressed its acidity. The physical-properties evaluation revealed that when the lactose hydrolysis rate was >= 75%, the curd hardness decreased, and the curd particles became smaller. We inferred that these sensory and physical changes originated from an increase in the EPS concentration, and we thus speculate that a 100% lactose hydrolysis rate before fermentation would be a useful means of solving the hardness and large curd particles of nonfat set yogurt.

To reduce the response of buildings during earthquakes, the use of various hysteresis dampers for passive control is increasing. For effective application to buildings, these dampers must meet both loaddisplacement relation-ship and fatigue property requirements. In this study, shape optimization of an Fe-Mn-Si-based alloy damper was conducted to improve the fatigue property while maintaining the target loaddisplacement relationship, and the obtained optimizeddamper was examined. First, shape optimization was conducted using the modal iterative error correction (MIEC) inverse analysis method. Subsequently, a loading test on the damper fabricated based on the optimized shape was conducted, and its effectiveness was confirmed. As a result, it was confirmed that the optimized shape of the damper, which improves the fatigue performance while maintaining the loaddisplace-ment relationship, was successfully searched using the MIEC inverse analysis method. In addition, it was confirmed that the fatigue performance of the test specimen based on the optimized shape was improved compared to that of the initial-shape.

Therma-Max (TM) LSA Streptavidin is a thermoresponsive magnetic nanoparticle (TMNP). It can be introduced conveniently to molecularrecognition groups by avidin-biotin interaction. In this study, we demonstrated the detection of nickel(II) ions by the magnetic separation of TMNP induced by their phase transition under microflow. The NTA-tagged TMNP solution mixed with a Ni2+ sample was introduced into a microchannel with a well structure. Moreover, the sample was heated to induce the thermally induced aggregation of TMNP. The Ni-capturing TMNP were trapped in the well by magnetic fields. The supernatant was removed from the outlet, and a dimethylglyoxime (dMG) solution was introduced into the device for colorimetric detection in the well. Because dMG has a higher stability constant with Ni2+, sensitive colorimetric detection of Ni2+ can be achieved in devices where the sample volume, e.g., optical pathlength, is short. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, a recovery test was conducted using a commercially available cosmetic sample. Therein, complete collection was achieved.

An efficient androbust method was developed to introduce the triazole unit of Ensitrelvir, a COVId-19 therapeutic agent. One of the key steps is introducing the triazole unit in the triazinone with Cs2CO3 and KI in a heterogeneous system. detailedreaction screening revealed that addition of LiCl allowed the reaction to proceed quantitatively in the presence of inexpensive Et3N, and the selectivity of the N-alkylation was greatly improved. The key to promoting the reaction is the mild formation of the lithium triazinolate accompanied by precipitation of *** (the only insoluble matter in this reaction). dissolving all the substrates andreagents should contribute to further improvement of the process robustness.

In this Note, a new synthetic route to vonoprazan via atom transferradical cyclization (ATrC) is described. The pivotal 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrrole ring of vonoprazan has been accomplished by ATrC, the subsequent aromatization which simultaneously occurred with the introduction of N-methylamine moiety into the cyclic imine, and the sulfonylation at the 1-position of pyrrole. Furthermore, our approach enabled the synthesis of vonoprazan on a 0.7 kg scale without the isolation of intermediates throughout the process.

In this study, we fabricated limiting current-type oxygen microsensors capable of sensing a wide range of oxygen concentrations. The oxygen microsensors consist of yttria-stabilized zirconia thin films on spiral Ta2O5 diffusion layers and high-temperature micro-hotplates. At temperatures above 575 degree celsius, we observed a clear limiting current that increased proportionally with oxygen concentration between 0.4% and 94%. This wide-range linearity is attributed to the Knudsen diffusion of the oxygen gas passing through the small gap in the spiral Ta2O5 diffusion layer.(c) 2023 Institute of Electrical Engineer of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Aims: The aim of this study was to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of AZd8233, an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that targets the PCSK9 transcript to reduce hepatocyte PCSK9 protein production and plasma levels. AZd8233 utilizes generation 2.5 S-constrained ethyl motif (cET) chemistry and is conjugated to a triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc3) ligand for targeted hepatocyte uptake. Methods: A non-linear mixed-effect modelling approach utilizing NONMEM software was applied to AZd8233 concentration-time data from 3416 samples in 219 participants from four phase 1-2 studies, one in healthy volunteers (NCT03593785) and three in patients with dyslipidaemia (NCT04155645, NCT04641299 and NCT04823611). results: The final model described the AZd8233 plasma concentration-time profile from four phase 1-2 studies in healthy volunteers or participants with dyslipidaemia, covering a dose range of 4 to 120 mg. The pharmacokinetics of AZd8233 were adequately described by a two-compartment model with first-order absorption. The supra-proportional increase in maximum plasma concentration (C-max) across the observeddose range was described by non-linear Michaelis-Menten elimination (maximum elimination rate, 9.9 mg/h [12% relative standard error];concentration yielding half-maximal elimination rate, 4.8 mg/L [18% relative standard error]). Body weight, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate anddisease status (healthy participant vs. patient with dyslipidaemia) were identified as factors affecting exposure to AZd8233. Conclusions: Covariate analysis showed body weight to be the main factor affecting exposure to AZd8233, which largely explained the higher C-max observed in the Asian population relative to non-Asians.

Hydrogen is a carbon-free fuel and can be expected to play a significant role in the global clean energy transition. In this study, two proposed small-scale hydrogen production plant configurations were designed and simulated for high-purity hydrogen production at a rate of 25 kgH2/day. The feasibility and economic viability of the proposed plant configurations were examined. Additionally, the performance and sensitivity analysis were assessed underdifferent operating conditions. Configuration A proposed to use two reactors for ammonia cracking and H2 separation, respectively. Configuration B considers that the decomposition of ammonia and H2 separation simultaneously occurs in a single integratedreactor. despite the configuration B was more energy efficient than configuration A but both configurations are applicable. The total H2 production cost of configuration A was 6.39 $/kgH2 and that of configuration B was 6.06 $/kgH2. Since the proposed plant configurations generated both hydrogen and nitrogen, the total cost of production was distributed between them. Therefore, the final H2 and N2 separation costs of configuration A was 5.05 $/kgH2 and 1.14 $/kgN2, and configuration B was 4.72 $/kgH2 and 1.08 $/kgN2. The hydrogen production cost from different ammonia synthesis pathways was compared. The technology readiness level (TrL) for hydrogen production from ammonia cracking was assessed and identified at a range of TrL 4-6. It can also be considered that the ammonia synthesis pathway controlled the ammonia prices and subsequently the hydrogen production cost.
