Support-free interior carving for 3D printing

Recent interior carving methods for functional design necessitate a cumbersome cut-and-glue process in fabrication.We propose a method to generate interior voids which not only satisfy LED Night Light the functional purposes but are also support-free during the 3D printing process.We introduce a support-free unit structure for voxelization and deri

Real-time PCR of the mammalian hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene for analysis of flea (Ctenocephalides felis) feeding patterns on dogs

Abstract Background Precise data on quantitative kinetics of blood feeding of fleas, particularly immediately after contact with the host, are essential for understanding dynamics of flea-borne disease transmission and for evaluating flea control strategies.Standard methods used are inadequate for studies that simulate early events after real-life
