    Abstract In this work, femtosecond laser pulses at high repetition rates were used to fabricate unique microstructures on the surface of Ti6Al4V. We investigated the influence of pulse overlap and laser repetition rates on structure formation. Laser texturing with a high degree of overlap resulted in melting of the material, leading to the formation of specific microstructures that can be used as cavities for drug delivery. The reason for melt formation is attributed to local heat accumulation at high repetition rates. Such structures can be fabricated on materials with low thermal conductivity, which prevent heat dissipation into the bulk of the material. The heat accumulation effect has also been demonstrated on steel, which also has low thermal conductivity.

    Abstract Metal additive manufacturing technologies have great potential for future use in load-bearing aerospace applications, requiring a deeper understanding of mechanical performance and influencing factors. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of contour scan variation on surface quality, tensile and fatigue strength for laser powder bed fusion samples made of AlSi7Mg0.6 material and to create high-quality as-built surfaces. The samples were produced with identical bulk and different contour scan parameters to accommodate the investigation of the impact of as-built surface texture on mechanical properties. The bulk quality was evaluated by density measurements according to Archimedes' principle and tensile testing. The surfaces were investigated using the optical fringe projection method, and surface quality was assessed by the areal surface texture parameters Sa (arithmetic mean height) and Sk (core height, derived from material ratio curve). Fatigue life was tested at different load levels, and the endurance limit was estimated based on a logarithmic-linear relation between number of cycles and stress. All samples were found to have a relative density of more than 99%. Surface conditions distinctive in Sa and Sk were successfully created. The resulting mean values of the ultimate tensile strength σult are between 375 and 405 MPa for 7 different surface conditions. It was confirmed that the influence of contour scan variation on bulk quality is insignificant for the assessed samples. Regarding fatigue, one as-built condition was found to perform as well as surface post-processed parts and better than the as-cast material (compared to literature values). The fatigue strength at the endurance limit for 106 cycles is between 45 and 84 MPa for the three considered surface conditions.

    Abstract Medications approved for diabetes-associated renal and cardiovascular morbidities and candidate drugs currently in development are subject to substantial variability in drug response. Heterogeneity on a molecular phenotype level is not apparent at clinical presentation, which means that inter-individual differences in drug effect at the molecular level are masked. These findings identify the need for optimising patient phenotyping via use of molecular biomarkers for a personalised therapy approach. Molecular diversity may, on the one hand, result from the effect of genetic polymorphisms on drug transport, metabolism and effective target modulation. Equally relevant, differences may be due to molecular pathologies. The presence of distinct molecular phenotypes is suggested by classifiers aimed at modelling progressive disease. Such functions for prognosis incorporate a complex set of clinical variables or a multitude of molecular markers reflecting a diverse set of molecular disease mechanisms. This information on disease pathology and the mechanism of action of the drug needs to be systematically integrated with data on molecular biomarkers to develop an experimental tool for personalising medicine. The large amount of molecular data available for characterising diabetes-associated morbidities allows for elucidation of molecular process model representations of disease pathologies. Selecting biomarker candidates on such grounds and, in turn identifying their association with progressive disease allows for the identification of molecular processes associated with disease progression. The molecular effect of a drug can also be modelled at a molecular process level, and the integration of disease pathology and drug effect molecular models reveals candidate biomarkers for assessing drug response. Such tools serve as enrichment strategies aimed at adding precision to drug development and use.

    Abstract Fourth-generation synchrotron storage rings represent a significant milestone in synchrotron technology, offering outstandingly bright and tightly focused X-ray beams for a wide range of scientific applications. However, due to their inherently tight magnetic lattices, these storage rings have posed critical challenges for accessing lower-energy radiation, such as infrared (IR) and THz. Here the first-ever IR beamline to be installed and to operate at a fourth-generation synchrotron storage ring is introduced. This work encompasses several notable advancements, including a thorough examination of the new IR source at Sirius, a detailed description of the radiation extraction scheme, and the successful validation of our optical concept through both measurements and simulations. This optimal optical setup has enabled us to achieve an exceptionally wide frequency range for our nanospectroscopy experiments. Through the utilization of synchrotron IR nanospectroscopy on biological and hard matter samples, the practicality and effectiveness of this beamline has been successfully demonstrated. The advantages of fourth-generation synchrotron IR sources, which can now operate with unparalleled stability as a result of the stringent requirements for producing low-emittance X-rays, are emphasized.

    Abstract Surface treatment intensity monitoring is still an open and challenging nondestructive testing problem. For the estimation of residual stress with ultrasonic measurements, local linear and nonlinear elastic constants are needed as input. In this paper, nonlinear elastic-wave interactions (also called wave mixing or scattering) - namely, the generation of secondary ultrasonic waves in a nonlinear medium - are considered as a prospective means for near-surface nonlinear elastic parameter evaluation. The allowed interactions between bulk and surface waves, as well as the dependence of the scattering efficiency on the frequency and angle between source waves, were investigated through an analytical model, then compared with FEM simulations and experimental results. Finally, possible future steps for the development of the applied methods for the determination of near-surface higher-order elastic constants are discussed. In addition, several problem-relevant data processing procedures are presented.

    Abstract Chronic smoking causes dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells, evident as a reduction of flow-mediated dilation in smokers, but the role of nicotine is still controversial. Given the increasing use of e-cigarettes and other nicotine products, it appears essential to clarify this issue. We studied extracts from cigarette smoke (CSE) and vapor from e-cigarettes (EVE) and heated tobacco (HTE) for their effects on vascular relaxation, endothelial nitric oxide signaling, and the activity of soluble guanylyl cyclase. The average nicotine concentrations of CSE, EVE, and HTE were 164, 800, and 85 µM, respectively. At a dilution of 1:3, CSE almost entirely inhibited the relaxation of rat aortas and porcine coronary arteries to acetylcholine and bradykinin, respectively, while undiluted EVE, with a 15-fold higher nicotine concentration, had no significant effect. With about 50% inhibition at 1:2 dilution, the effect of HTE was between CSE and EVE. Neither extract affected endothelium-independent relaxation to an NO donor. At the dilutions tested, CSE was not toxic to cultured endothelial cells but, in contrast to EVE, impaired NO signaling and inhibited NO stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase. Our results demonstrate that nicotine does not mediate the impaired endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation caused by smoking.
