TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the evolution of additive manufacturing technology, culminating in 3D printing and present a vision of how this evolution is affecting existing global value chains (GVCs) in production.
Abstract: This article outlines the evolution of additive manufacturing technology, culminating in 3D printing and presents a vision of how this evolution is affecting existing global value chains (GVCs) in production. In particular, we bring up questions about how this new technology can affect the geographic span and density of GVCs. Potentially, wider adoption of this technology has the potential to partially reverse the trend towards global specialization of production systems into elements that may be geographically dispersed and closer to the end users (localization). This leaves the question of whether in some industries diffusion of 3D printing technologies may change the role of multinational enterprises as coordinators of GVCs by inducing the engagement of a wider variety of firms, even households.

TL;DR: The genus Klebsiella is seemingly ubiquitous in terms of its habitat associations, but phenotypic and genotypic studies have shown that "K. pneumoniae" actually consists of at least four species, all with distinct characteristics and habitats.
Abstract: The genus Klebsiella is seemingly ubiquitous in terms of its habitat associations. Klebsiella is a common opportunistic pathogen for humans and other animals, as well as being resident or transient flora (particularly in the gastrointestinal tract). Other habitats include sewage, drinking water, soils, surface waters, industrial effluents, and vegetation. Until recently, almost all these Klebsiella have been identified as one species, ie, K. pneumoniae. However, phenotypic and genotypic studies have shown that “K. pneumoniae” actually consists of at least four species, all with distinct characteristics and habitats. General habitat associations of Klebsiella species are as follows: K. pneumoniae—humans, animals, sewage, and polluted waters and soils; K. oxytoca—frequent association with most habitats; K. terrigena— unpolluted surface waters and soils, drinking water, and vegetation; K. planticola—sewage, polluted surface waters, soils, and vegetation; and K. ozaenae/K. rhinoscleromatis—infrequently detected (primarily with humans).

TL;DR: Nanoindentation testing was used to determine the dynamic viscoelastic properties of eight polymer materials, which include three high-performance polymers and five densities of high-density polyethylene as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Nanoindentation testing was used to determine the dynamic viscoelastic properties of eight polymer materials, which include three high-performance polymers and five densities of high-density polyethylene. It was determined that varying the harmonic frequency of nanoindentation does not have a significant effect on the measured storage and loss moduli of the polymers. Agreement was found between these nanoindentation results and data from bulk dynamic mechanical testing of the same materials. Varying the harmonic amplitude of the nanoindentation had a limited effect on the measured viscoelastic properties of the resins. However, storage and loss moduli from nanoindentation were shown to be sensitive to changes in the density of the polyethylene.

TL;DR: A type of highly efficient peroxidase mimic that was engineered by depositing Ir atoms as ultrathin skins on Pd nanocubes (i.e., Pd-Ir cubes) exhibited significantly enhanced efficiency, with catalytic constants more than 20- and 400-fold higher than those of the initial Pd cubes and horseradish per oxidase (HRP), respectively.
Abstract: Peroxidase mimics with dimensions on the nanoscale have received great interest as emerging artificial enzymes for biomedicine and environmental protection. While a variety of peroxidase mimics have been actively developed recently, limited progress has been made toward improving their catalytic efficiency. In this study, we report a type of highly efficient peroxidase mimic that was engineered by depositing Ir atoms as ultrathin skins (a few atomic layers) on Pd nanocubes (i.e., Pd–Ir cubes). The Pd–Ir cubes exhibited significantly enhanced efficiency, with catalytic constants more than 20- and 400-fold higher than those of the initial Pd cubes and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), respectively. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, the Pd–Ir cubes were applied to the colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of human prostate surface antigen (PSA) with a detection limit of 0.67 pg/mL, which is ∼110-fold lower than that of the conventional HRP-based ELISA using the same set of antibodies and the ...
