TL;DR: In this paper, a classification of SLS/SLM processes was developed, based on the binding mechanism occurring in the process, in contrast with traditional classifications based on processed material or the application.
Abstract: Purpose – This paper provides an overview of the different binding mechanisms in selective laser sintering (SLS) and selective laser melting (SLM),
thus improving the understanding of these processes. Design/methodology/approach – A classification of SLS/SLM processes was developed, based on the binding mechanism occurring in the process, in
contrast with traditional classifications based on the processed material or the application. A broad range of commercial and experimental SLS/SLM
processes – found from recent articles as well as from own experiments – was used to explain the different binding mechanism categories.
Findings – SLS/SLM processes can be classified into four main binding mechanism categories, namely “solid state sintering”, “chemically induced
binding”, “liquid phase sintering – partial melting” and “full melting”. Most commercial processes can be classified into the latter two categories,
which are therefore subdivided. The binding mechanism largely influences the process speed and the resulting part properties.
Research limitations/implications – The classification presented is not claimed to be definitive. Moreover some SLM/SLM processes could be
classified into more than one category, based on personal interpretation.
Originality/value – This paper can be a useful aid in understanding existing SLS/SLM processes. It can also serve as an aid in developing new SLS/SLM
processes.

TL;DR: It is inferred that molecular defects in prohormone conversion may represent a generic mechanism for obesity, common to humans and rodents.
Abstract: Human obesity has an inherited component, but in contrast to rodent obesity, precise genetic defects have yet to be defined. A mutation of carboxypeptidase E (CPE), an enzyme active in the processing and sorting of prohormones, causes obesity in the fat/fat mouse. We have previously described a women with extreme childhood obesity (Fig. 1), abnormal glucose homeostasis, hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, hypocortisolism and elevated plasma proinsulin and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) concentrations but a very low insulin level, suggestive of a defective prohormone processing by the endopeptidase, prohormone convertase 1 (PC1; ref. 4). We now report this proband to be a compound heterozygote for mutations in PC1. Gly-->Arg483 prevents processing of proPC1 and leads to its retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A-->C+4 of the intro-5 donor splice site causes skipping of exon 5 leading to loss of 26 residues, a frameshift and creation of a premature stop codon within the catalytic domain. PC1 acts proximally to CPE in the pathway of post-translational processing of prohormones and neuropeptides. In view of the similarity between the proband and the fat/fat mouse phenotype, we infer that molecular defects in prohormone conversion may represent a generic mechanism for obesity, common to humans and rodents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between external R&D activities and internal R & D expenditures on a cross-section of Flemish active companies and found that firms are more frequently engaged in R& D cooperation, the more they spend on internal research.
