Influence of physical shape and salting on tomato drying performance using mixed mode solar and open-air methods in semi-cloudy weather by Abdallah Elshawadfy Elwakeel, Guma Ali, Abdalla Zain Eldin, Mohamed Mahmoud Alsebiey, Aml Abubakr Tantawy, Mohammad S. AL-Harbi, Atef Fathy Ahmed, Khaled A. Metwally

“…The most efficient results were achieved for salted 6 mm slices, which dried in just 9 h—substantially faster than the 29 h for unsalted halves in DDSD and 48 h in OSD. These samples also exhibited the highest effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) (5.92 × 10⁻⁹ m2/s), reflecting enhanced internal moisture transport. …”

Prognostic relevance of bone marrow immune cell fractions in newly diagnosed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients by Luciana Valvano, Rocchina Vilella, Fiorella D’Auria, Giovanni D’Arena, Rossana Libonati, Michela Soda, Alessia Telesca, Giuseppe Pietrantuono, Giovanna Rosaria Mansueto, Oreste Villani, Simona D’Agostino, Giovanni Calice, Teodora Statuto

“…Among these, B-cell lymphomas (B-NHLs) are the second leading cause of death in hematologic neoplasms.Material and methods In this study, a detailed immunophenotypic analysis of lymphocytes in the bone marrow aspirate (BMA) of 75 patients with four different subtypes of B-NHLs was performed at diagnosis. The samples were analyzed by flow cytometry (FC) using a stain-lyse-no wash technique and a comprehensive six-color antibody panel.Results Our data showed a different trend in the percentage values of the distinct lymphocyte subsets, which did not seem to correlate with a worse prognosis, except for B cells in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which were significantly higher in stage IV than in stages II and III. …”

Research of selective laser melting process and properties of Y2O3 dispersion strengthened high speed steel by Yan LIU, Dingguo ZHAO, Yue LI, Xiaojie CUI, Shuhuan WANG, Yuekai XUE

“…TEM results show that Y2O3 particles are larger at grain boundaries, reaching up to 90 nm, while smaller nanoparticles are diffusely distributed within the grains. Mechanical testing indicates that Y2O3 dispersion strengthened high speed steel samples fabricated by SLM exhibit good mechanical properties, with tensile strength reaching 943 MPa, a 36% increase compared to M2 high speed steel without Y2O3 particles. …”
