Abstract
In the current work, 30 micron thin magnetoelastic ribbons made of metallic glass are embedded inside 6 mm thick PLA plastic cantilever beams made by 3-D printing, in order to detect the beams harmonics during bending excitation. This is possible because the ribbons are of magnetoelastic nature an [...]

Abstract
Shape memory alloys (SMA) are metallic materials with special thermo-mechanical characteristics which could have many structural applications. Within this class of materials, Ni-Ti (Nickel-Titanium) alloys have numerous applications owing to the significant non-linear behaviour they demonstrate. Nit [...]

Abstract
Continuous fiber reinforced geopolymer matrix composites offer the potential for use in structural applications at temperatures up to 700°C, while enabling the manufacture at temperatures below 100°C. Studies have investigated a variety of fiber reinforcements, including carbon, SiC and Al2O3. Whi [...]

Abstract
There are no curative strategies for ALS, and as a result the alternative therapies are gaining ground, in particular the stem cell-based therapies which hold a promising future. Here we describe an ALS patient, who by choice, received allogeneic human cord-blood derived multipotent stem cells (MSC) [...]

Review
Abstract
PD-L1 is an immune checkpoint protein that is frequently overexpressed by the cells in the tumor microenvironment. PD-L1 binds to PD-1 present on the activated antitumor T-cells, which allows for tumor immune escape. The ability of the PD-1/PD-L1 axis to suppress antitumor immunity enables its appli [...]

Review
Abstract
Following post-operative treatment, the vast majority of GBMs recur, usually within 2 cm of the tumor resection margin. Since these tumors seldom metastasize outside the CNS, improved localized therapies should prove beneficial. Drug delivery systems (DDS) that allow control over drug release by an [...]

In interest of accurately modelling wellbore production in convective geothermal systems, we draw attention to two approaches to numerical simulation of crustal fluid flow. The historical ‘’strong’’ approach simulates the fluid mass conservation condition on a localised finite difference mesh approx [...]

More details regarding LIDSEN peer review and quality control system are introduced in Editorial Process.
Open Access (OA) refers to unrestricted online access to scholarly research publications along with the unrestricted usage of these publications in this digital and big-data era. This term and the concept of “Open Access” was first defined in three statements: the Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002), the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (2003), and the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities (2003). LIDSEN according to the Open Access model promotes science and education and benefits researchers and students because:
- Publications are immediately available online without subscription or price barriers;
- Publications are free to be archived in any personal, institutional, or governmental repositories;
- Publications are free to be distributed or reused without asking for permission;
- Publications receive higher visibility by worldwide audience;
- Publications receive more citations due to higher publicity.
