A biomarker is described as a biological molecule found in blood, body fluids, or tissues that indicates the presence of a standard or abnormal process and a condition or disease. Usually, it assesses how well the body responds to an illness or condition treatment. It is also known as a molecular marker and a signature molecule.

Recently, researchers at Beaumont and Royal Oak Hospital have discovered a new blood test that analyses fetal DNA extracted from maternal blood using artificial intelligence that has the potential to aid in the early detection of heart problems and reduce infant mortality.

The researchers wanted to use a minimally invasive method to aid in early detection in this study. They hypothesized that because epigenomics…

Recently, 3D Systems, one of the major players in the market, announced the addition of two new materials certified as Certified HX and Certified CuCr2.4, for use with the company’s DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 3D printers, with HX also approved for the DMP Factory 500.

This high-performance nickel alloy, Certified HX, allegedly contains a higher percentage of molybdenum (9.5 percent) which is higher than other nickel alloys. This high percentage of molybdenum enhances the resistance to corrosion and strength and sustains creep deformation, cracking, and oxidation in hot-zone environments. This makes it ideal for applications with service temperatures of around 1200 C. This superior material quality will help to produce tall, large…

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), a national construction industry trade association representing more than 22,000 members, issued a news release on the latest workforce, policy, and industry issues, as well as construction-related economic data and trends. According to the report, Construction Backlog Indicator declined to 8.8 months in October, according to an ABC member survey conducted from Oct. 20 to Nov. 4. The reading is 0.7 months higher than in October 2021.

The backlog is below the reading recorded in February 2020 after surpassing its pre-pandemic level in September. The commercial and institutional sector's backlog experienced its most considerable monthly reduction since July 2020 and is currently 0.4 months lower…

Scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory trained deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate subsurface permeability from stream discharge hydrographs in a study published in Frontiers in Earth Science.

In watershed models, subsurface permeability is a critical parameter that determines the contribution of subsurface flow to stream flows. It is difficult and expensive to directly measure permeability at the spatial extent and resolution required by the watershed models. Researchers often use inverse modeling to evaluate permeability. Compared to groundwater monitoring data, the wide availability of stream surface flow data provides a novel data source for…

A stringent regulatory environment and ambitious plans for reducing carbon dioxide emissions have spiked the importance of green buildings. The greening of the construction industry is heavily dependent on materials that will enable them to achieve the levels required. The IEA has concluded that CO2 emissions from current and new buildings are touted to grow from 194 million tons in 2020 to 245 million tons by 2040.

The concept of using phase change materials in construction has been explored for a few years with the intent of energy storage. PCMs can be used in building materials via macro encapsulation or microencapsulation in hollow slabs, PCM-filled bricks, or powdered forms mixed with different materials.

In August 2022, research…
