PLA is the dominant bioplastic in 3D printing, although Polish 3D printer manufacturer Zortrax does produce a filament made from polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a plastic made from microbes that are fed organic material.

The New York Times fact checks President Donald Trump’s recent statements about the health law — and finds both truth and exaggeration. Meanwhile, insurers in the individual marketplace are returning to the financial stability of pre-ACA times.

A5: Our estimates for that dividend per share growth are around 2.5% to 3% in this year, 2019 and 2020, but at the same time, there’s a growing dividend cover. That’s the ratio of profits when you look at the commonly used EPRA benchmark which excludes non-cash profits from asset revaluation.

In Display, we’re delivering stable returns. During 2018, we extended our global leadership by successfully ramping the world’s first Gen 10.5 glass plant. This accomplishment allowed us to grow volume faster than the overall market. Also, the display glass pricing environment continues to improve. We reached the important milestone of mid-single-digit year-over-year price declines in the second half of 2018. In fact, 2018 was the best pricing environment in more than a decade. We expect the pricing environment to improve further in 2019 and reach mid-single-digit declines for the full year. We’re off to a great start, with first quarter price declines expected to be significantly better than quarter one 2018, and the best quarter one in a decade. Display will continue to execute its proven strategy to deliver stable returns.

The Hill: United States Is Undergoing A Chemical Weapons Attack Is the United States under attack from Chemical Weapons in the form of dangerous and toxic chemicals, as defined by the Chemical Weapons Convention, camouflaged as narcotics for illicit distribution resulting in death tolls rivaling those levels from the Chemical Warfare of WW I? I only see the “body count” increasing, from 13,000 deaths in 2015 to over 19,000 in 2016 and 27,000 in 2017 according to the Centers for Disease Control and NBC. That represents a 40 percent increase in each of the last few years or a doubling in two years – with no end in sight. (John M. DeMaggio, 10/7)

So here’s my question, and it’s a similar one to what I had with the DARPA-funded synthesizer work: can someone lay out a general situation where this sort of point-of-use drug synthesis would be the best way to go? I don’t mean in general terms; the paper itself does that. But does the real world overlap with those general terms, and if so, how? What APIs are currently produced “on demand and in small batches” where that part itself is the limit on availability? I’m willing to be convinced, but I’m not convinced yet.

SnO2nanoparticles dispersed in Eu3+doped silica (SnO2-SiO2:Eu3+) were prepared at a low temperature (185 °C) in ethylene glycol medium. Transmission electron microscopy studies on as-prepared samples have established that SnO2nanoparticles having size of 4.6 nm are uniformly covered by the SiO2matrix. Significant extent of exciton mediated energy transfer between SnO2and Eu3+ions in heat treated SnO2-SiO2:Eu3+samples has been attributed to the diffusion of Eu3+ions from the SiO2matrix to the near vicinity of SnO2nanoparticles and its incorporation in the SnO2matrix. On the other hand, very weak energy transfer exists for SnO2: Eu3+nanoparticles heated at different temperatures due to the phase segregation of Eu3+ions from the matrix.

I think the only possible niche would be for drugs where the precursors or base components are readily stored and shipped but the drugs themselves are either perishable or difficult to transport to an extent that makes shipping from a central large production facility impractical. That’s what you need for region where some drugs are needed often enough that one-off bench synthesis can’t produce as much as needed but there isn’t enough demand within the viable service area to justify a large-volume production facility.

While doing your job, your brain faces daily memory, processing and multi-tasking challenges that keep its cognitive functions sharp. Meanwhile, being diagnosed with dementia does not mean patients can’t have an active life.
