Thermoplastic compression resin transfer moulding coupled with injection is an appealing process for the production of thermoplastic composites. However, its implementation at industrial scale remains challenging as variotherm could prevent solid skin formation in parting line, making cavity sealing difficult. In this study, a tool and related methods parameters are presented. The validity conc...

Although many precision fabrication techniques have demonstrated the ability to produce microstructures and micro-devices with sub 100 nm accuracy, we are yet to see a scalable manufacturing process for large-area production. One promising solution to scalable microand nanofabrication is thermal roller imprinting. However, existing investigations on thermal roller imprinting revealed poor patte...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique for providing cardiac and/or pulmonary support. Many hospitals worldwide practice ECMO at some time, yet few centers are able to offer a portable ECMO service, with the United Kingdom being of no exception. We describe the first reported successful ground transfer of a 22-kg girl with suspected myocarditis, supported by veno-arterial ECM...
