Summary: MicroCT is a well known technique and is often used for non-destructive analysis of parts produced by additive manufacturing. This is especially useful to inspect the parts for potential defects such as excessive porosity or layered defects due to imperfect powder levelling in individual layers. While various online monitoring methods are under development, there is currently not yet any accepted method to identify such defects during the building process. Post-production microCT of the entire part allows for the identification of such errors, but its limitation is the resolution which depends on part size. Hence a large part may have small but important porosities which may be missed by microCT. This can be overcome by using a witness specimen built in the same process, and analysing this smaller sample at a high resolution. The porosity information from the smaller part can be used to evaluate the acceptability of the entire build. The workflow presented here serves to standardize this process: with a simple process, a standard geometry witness specimen and hence standardized scan and analysis procedures. A layered stop-start flaw is shown in the witness specimen to demonstrate the ability to detect this type of flaw.

Summary: Display of proteins on the bacterial cell surface has always been an attractive technique for the production of functional cell-anchored proteins, thereby reducing the cost, time and effort related to enzyme purification. Thus, surface display can enable fast and easy screening of protein libraries, e.g. activity variants, or screening of different enzyme substrates, while maintaining a connection between the phenotype and the genotype. Additionally, cells displaying functional enzymes can potentially be used as whole-cell catalysts.This protocol describes how to express proteins on the surface of E. coli BL21 (DE3) using a L-rhamnose inducible expression system.

Summary: This protocol is designed for use with food-safe materials. It may be used to illustrate principles of gel electrophoresis for children, or as a party novelty for scientifically-minded adults. It is currently a work in progress and will be updated as necessary. Currently different colors of food dye will run for different times but will not form distinct bands.

Summary: This protocol provides the steps for recording the gastrointestinal myoelectric responses and stimulation of the abdominal vagus nerve from the behaving ferret. These tests occur after an animal is surgically implanted with gastrointestinal and vagus nerve electrodes (see the protocol "SPARC - Chronic implantation of gastrointestinal and vagus nerve electrodes in the ferret" for implantation methods).Funding: This protocol was developed with funding from the NIH Common Fund’s Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) program (Award U18TR002205).

Summary: This is the protocol for the vertical sleeve gastrectomy in the mouse. This procedure eliminates the greater curvature of the stomach leaving approximately 30% of the preoperative stomach capacity. Specifically, this procedure eliminates the greater curvature of the stomach where the ghrelin-producing cells are located.

Summary: During the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, personal protective equipment shortages are felt around the world, in spite of the fact that traditional face masks are not even sufficient to fully protect against the 0.125 micron SARS-CoV-2 virus. Medical personnel, more than any other sector, are being hit hardest by this shortage, given their close contact with infected persons. During this time of crisis and shortage, alternative and atypical solutions are necessary to ensure the protection of those who are on the front lines against this disease. One solution is the creation of reusable 3D-printed personal protective equipment (PPE) in conjunction with appropriate disposable filtration.3D-printed face masks are available on a variety of different open source 3D-printing online platforms. Unfortunately, the general public remains largely unaware of these potential solutions and can also be intimidated by the lack of information available regarding how to integrate scientifically appropriate filters. The intention of this white paper is to make available the information needed for simple construction of effective 3D-printed masks. We recommend a 3D printed face mask design made available by CREALITY, a leader in 3D-printing machines. By using CREALITY’s open source designs and easily obtainable air filters, cut to a desired size, we can increase our ability to protect medical workers against this disease. Additionally, CREALITY offers designs for a 3D-printed eye mask that can be used with plexiglass to protect eyes against airborne droplets. In practice, CREALITY’s 3D model object STL files can be uploaded into any available slicer software allowing for creation of specific commands for 3D printers. Within the slicer, face mask and eye mask models can be scaled to small, medium, or large to fit a variety of face sizes. We have also included strap adjustment clip models for use with facemasks and a face shield to extend the life of traditional facemasks.We also propose a plan to coordinate large-scale construction of crowd-sourced 3D printed masks with collection and delivery of said masks to at-risk businesses, in particular hospitals and care facilities.
