WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday unveiled legislation formally laying out next steps in their impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, which authorizes public committee hearings and the public release of transcripts of closed-door depositions.
The legislation was previewed on Monday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It could be voted upon by the full House, which is controlled by Democrats, as soon as this week.
Even before the measure was unveiled, House Republican leaders said they would oppose it in protest of the closed-door proceedings by House panels over the past few weeks.
Under the legislation, the Intelligence Committee, which would hold public hearings, as well as other panels investigating Trump, would forward their findings to the House Judiciary Committee, which would also conduct hearings.
Trump and his lawyers would be allowed to participate in such Judiciary Committee hearings, according to a Democratic fact sheet describing the legislation. They could cross examine witnesses, present their case and respond to evidence gathered and raise objections to testimony given.
The text of the legislation states that the Judiciary Committee "shall report to the House of Representatives such resolutions, articles of impeachment or other recommendations as it deems proper."

For years after Americans elected Ronald Reagan president, liberals were despondent, doubting the electorate's capacity to make sound judgments. Here, in their view, was a not-very-bright former movie star who showed no grasp of policy, only a reflexive right-wing ideology. Surely, many argued, people were deluded by his skills as a communicator, getting them to buy into delusions like supply-side economics and the Star Wars missile defense system.
Several years later, when Bill Clinton — enjoying greater popularity as president than Reagan had — withstood an all-out impeachment attempt, it was conservatives who questioned the good sense of the American public. Here, they said, was a small-time huckster and philanderer who lied under oath and showed no respect for the rule of law, but was getting away with it either because of his political dexterity or the vibrancy of the economy.
It seems possible that our periodic crises of faith in the wisdom of the masses are rooted not in any cold-eyed account of human nature, but rather in our fluctuating judgments of whether or not we agree politically with the choices they make.
While researching for my recent book, "Republic of Spin: An Inside History of the American Presidency," I found a continuing anxiety through the years that spin — whether it was called propaganda, publicity, news management or something else — would subvert the public's ability to make rational, independent judgments. There's a fear that in the face of the ever-more sophisticated techniques devised by professional spin doctors, voters are becoming increasingly malleable. They fall prey to manipulation of their emotions, dishonest rhetorical appeals or faulty claims about issues they are in no position to sort out for themselves.
Our anxiety about illegitimate persuasion returns time and again — it's as regular a feature of American politics as convention balloon drops, Fourth of July parties and sex scandals. In the 1920s, Walter Lippmann rejected the idea of an "omnicompetent" citizen who can stay well-informed enough to form opinions on the increasing welter of policy issues confronting the nation. This led him to temper his belief in democracy with a strong guiding role for disinterested policy experts.
In the 1950s, Vance Packard fretted about the insidious psychological techniques that advertising wizards were using to play upon our unconscious. In our own time, Stephen Colbert coined the term "truthiness," to direct our attention to people's willingness to believe what feels true over what really is true.
A host of overlapping fears underpin these critiques: Will people be swayed by emotion and political bias, rather than cold reason? Does the public have adequate defenses against politician who spin, lie, or otherwise play with the truth? Does the complexity of modern life place the analysis of policy beyond the grasp of all but the most dedicated full-time student of public affairs?
It would be naïve to dismiss these concerns. The past provides many examples of the public following its half-baked enthusiasms and its overwrought fears, its blind partisanship or its ill-founded moralism. People have been deceived by politicians who've shaded the truth.
Yet it would be wrong to aspire to a political world devoid of appeals to emotion, stripped of rhetorical claims that slant the facts, or reduced to expert pronouncements issued from on high as to which policies make sense and which don't.
For one thing, the lines are hard to draw: Where does emotion stop and reason begin? Where does fact end and interpretation start? How much detail do we need to know to consider ourselves informed?
Democratic politics depends precisely on not limiting public judgments to only the most bloodless, rational calculations. We rely on politicians' rhetoric to inspire us — and even to scare us about things we should genuinely fear, like the curtailment of long-held rights or the evisceration of valued social programs. We similarly need to grant politicians a margin of exaggeration and even dissimulation in our political discourse, because they must be free to advocate full-throatedly for their passions and draw sharp distinctions from their rivals. And we want voters to form judgments on imperfect knowledge, lest the demand for consummate mastery of the issues chill our democracy into a technocracy.
Journalists and intellectuals should — and do — call out politicians when they distort, exaggerate, or manipulate our hopes and fears. In an aphorism usually attributed to Daniel Patrick Moynihan (but first coined in slightly different form by Bernard Baruch), "everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."
The problem is that determining which facts are relevant or important to a political debate is part of the challenge — and often the heart of the disagreement. Instead of trying to somehow banish emotion and spin and other less rational elements from the kingdom of politics, we'd be better off trying to inculcate in our fellow citizens a critical sense that helps us question and evaluate politicians' claims — and maybe, just once in awhile, to know when to believe in what they say.

A pellet smoker is one of the most common types of food smoking machines and is also a traditional format of smoking that is still preferred by one and many. Pellet smoking is known to give a certain flavor to the meat that is unparalleled with most types of smoking methods.
While pellet based smoking is a favorable form of meat smoking, a pellet smoking machine is a large investment. These machines are large and bulky in nature and as most of them have outdoor usage, it is imperative that you are careful about which smoker you buy.
A good quality pellet smoker is determined by the following four key features.
- Grilling Area: The first and foremost thing to look for in a pellet smoker machine is the grilling area. Most of these grilling machines come with about 700 square inches of surface area space that is enough for long sessions of smoking up large pieces of meat.
- Technology: Previous era pellet smokers used to work on fire or gasoline (butane based smokers are still prevalent). But most of the modern age pellet smokers are electrically driven. Given that these are outdoor machines, they also come with a giant generator attached to them as well. These digital pellet smokers come with nifty and automated controls as well. Be sure to check for those
- Build quality: Only the stainless steel build quality pellet smokers are to be considered as the best pellet smokers. Smokers with smaller price tags are often made out of wrought iron and they are less durable and end up either getting rusted or broken up due to the outside weather or even the slight mismanagement.
- Versatility: Most of the modern era pellet smokers are not just for smoking meat but they also double as BBQ grills and much more. These many in one model are great as a purchase compared to a single purpose machine. Because you would not only be smoking your meat but also be performing BBQ, grilling some meat, and much more.
We have also answered some frequently asked questions (FAQs) at the end of the article about Pellet Smokers. Be sure to check that out as well. Now let us jump in to review the best pellet smokers to buy online

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The central difference between grilling your meat and smoking your meat lies in the temperature you use. Grilling is mostly high-temperature heating of your meat for very short intervals of time. Smoking is the low-temperature heating of meat for a very long time. While grilling cooks your meat faster, smoking adds a distinctive flavor to your meat.
Almost after every use, a smoker gathers a lot of ashes and grease deposits. Hence it is vital that you clean up the grill or smoker after each and every use.
Before beginning to smoke your meat on a new smoker, make sure you are curing or seasoning it. This is basically heating the smoker at high temperature so it will burn off any residual manufacturing process leftovers on the grill. This is to make sure that the grill is safe for food making. It usually takes about 2 hours or so and you need not do it again and again.
For seasoning a smoker, you have to use high burning point cooking oil. For this, you can go for grapeseed oil or maybe even canola oil will do the trick as well
Rust is the oxidation of the iron metal. While it is not toxic if it accidentally mixes in your food in very tiny amounts, it is always safer to be rust free as large flakes may end up causing injury to intestines or mouth etc., You can remove the rust of the smoker with proper oiling, painting, and other such techniques and then later, seasoning it before using it again. Proper regular maintenance is required to prevent rust from forming on your grill

My webster ny hookers remarried and my parents divorced when I was two and had a twelve year old stepson. He had cut ties in moving on. 1day I needed to pay him a trip that is rare and I walked in to find him sitting along with his stepson at the dining room table. They were organizing a stamp book set. This was demanding. My father had never had this type of connection with me personally and the stamp collection was mine- - a collection that had gone, to make dating apps? Courtenay worse.

Free Sites: Pro websites like apps like Tinder, as well as Plenty of OKCupid and Fish don't place any barriers between you and your prospective games. Once you create a profile, thenyou're free to message and search people to your heart's content. Consequently, sites that are free generally get a much larger userbase than websites. Most free websites produce their earnings in one through selling information of three ways: through advertisements and through upselling premium features like receipts and search options. It follows that sites have a motivation to maintain their users active and around, while paid sites don't. An active user is one who's getting advertisements; serving up an profiles is a good way to wind up with an inactive user.

The second category of things that make you more sexy make use of what your mama gave you, and are honest, natural and free. Because I am here to tell you that what your mama gave you will be nice. You can not really change it anyhow, and why should you? If you are alive that is wonder enough. So this is not about clothing, cleavage or cosmetics. It's about an action or consciousness that's available to you all of the time and most importantly, honest. That means it's the actual thing and can't be faked. And therefore a hell of a lot more powerful than its less honest( and costly) counterparts.
I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. Why was he seeing in a row and here I wished to see him for 2evenings and he wasn't keen? And he was cancelling to spend time.
" She knew her way about mafia 3 hookers Powell River Honolulu. In a restaurant, I allowed her to move through the door. That was in the days once I allowed a lady.

I believed it would gain me admiration among the other people out on a date also, who had been Courtenay backpage vietnamese escorts in the restaurant watching us all come in. They were probably hoping to see just how I handled myself coming in for egg noodles and fried rice.
These feelings could be deferred for a time period, but finally, we'll store up enough bitterness that we can not choke back onto it and we erupt in what Dr. Glover refers to as a" Victim Puke. " A" Victim Puke" is a essentially a explosion of Courtenay alternative to backpage escorts- righteous complaints brought on from the frustration of thinking thatyou're contributing more or adapting greater than the other individual( or society) is for you.

SAN ANTONIO – A cold front arrived early Friday, and it was a doozy!
Temperatures started in the mid-50s and only made it to the mid-60s by the middle of the afternoon.
Download the KSAT Weather app for iPhone and Android
Strong north winds between 15 and 25 mph and wind gusts as high as 35 mph kept a big chill in the air from sunrise to sunset.
The truly cold air will settle in Friday night and Saturday morning.
Temperatures will bottom-out in the upper 30s in San Antonio, and near-freezing in the Hill Country. Those that live in the Hill Country should make preparations for a light freeze both Friday and Saturday nights.
Afternoon temperatures Saturday will only climb to near 67 degrees, even under full sunshine.
We'll see a high of 71 degrees on Sunday.
This will easily be the coldest air we've received so far this fall, and will serve as a nice reminder that, yes…the heaters in our cars do severe some purpose.

|The aim of the present work is investigation and characterization of structures of novel functional lignin/silica organic-inorganic hybrid materials (OIHs) synthesized as bio-mimetic Si-containing clay minerals – soil organic matter. These producs are described as supramolecular systems, where guest molecule of Si-loigomer modulates both microsurface and bulk structure of lignin host matrix. As the result, hydrophobic silicon-containing blocks are formed not only on the lignin surface but also in the matrix bulk structure (XPS and TMA data). Novel OIHs were characterized by spectroscopic techniques (29Si and 13C solid state CP/MAS NMR, EPR, FT-IR, XPS), nitrogen gas, normal hydrocarbons and water vapour adsorption/desorption isotherms, sorption tests with potential inorganic (heavy metals) and organic (chlorophenols) pollutants. The data of 29Si CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy show that the silica structures in lignin/silica hybrids are highly, but not completely condensed and Si-OH groups still remain (as it also was shown by FT-IR) opening an opportunity for further adsorption interactions, about 40-60% of silica was incorporated into the lignin materials.

《1. Introduction》
1. Introduction
The concept of tissue engineering was formalized in 1993 when Langer and Vacanti published a historical milestone paper in Science, in which the characteristics and applications of biodegradable three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds were first detailed [1]. Ideally, 3D scaffolds should be highly porous, have well-interconnected pore networks, and have consistent and adequate pore size for cell migration and infiltration [2]. In the decade following the publication of this paper (1993−2002), a number of conventional manufacturing techniques were applied to fabricating porous 3D scaffolds, such as fiber bonding, phase separation, solvent casting, particulate leaching, membrane lamination, molding, and foaming [3]. However, all these methods share a major drawback: They do not permit enough control of scaffold architecture, pore network, and pore size, giving rise to inconsistent and less-than-ideal 3D scaffolds. To overcome this problem, researchers proposed the use of 3D-printing methods (also known as rapid prototyping, solid free-form fabrication, or additive manufacturing) to fabricate customized scaffolds with controlled pore size and pore structure [4−6]. Out of more than 40 different 3D-printing techniques in development, fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography, inkjet printing, selective laser sintering (SLS), and colorjet printing appeared to be the most popular, due to their ability to process plastics [7,8]. As a result, in the second decade of this field (2003−2012), the number of studies in the arena of 3D printing for tissue engineering rapidly multiplied. These studies covered scaffold design, process modeling and optimization, comparisons of 3D-printing methods, post-processing and characterization of 3D printed scaffolds, in vitro and in vivo applications of 3D printed scaffolds, new scaffold materials for 3D printing, new 3D-printing methods for scaffold fabrication, and even the branching out of an entirely new field—3D bioprinting, or organ printing. Our research group has been extensively involved in this vast wave of research. In this paper, we present our past and current work in this field, and give our perspective on the future of this area as it moves into its third decade (2013−2022).
《2. Scaffold architecture design》
2. Scaffold architecture design
《2.1. Scaffold library》
2.1. Scaffold library
Scaffold architecture design can significantly influence both mechanical property and cell behaviors [9]. We have adopted a bottom-up approach when constructing a 3D scaffold; that is, first making unit cells, and then assembling them into a 3D scaffold. Using this approach, we can fine-tune the mechanical property, based on the porous structure design. We have developed in-house a computer-aided system for tissue scaffolds (CASTS) that can automatically create a highly porous 3D scaffold model with controlled architecture, and precisely match the external surface profile of a native anatomic structure such as bone [10−12]. In this system, nearly 20 polyhedral shapes are selected to form the basic geometry of a unit cell. The scaffold library and the parameters of each unit cell, such as pore size and strut size, can be adjusted, and each polyhedral unit can be repeated automatically in a spatial arrangement and sized to form a block that suits the intended scaffold application (Figure 1). An anatomically shaped porous scaffold can then be created through Boolean operation between the scaffold block and the actual surface model of the defect tissue. A detailed derivation of the mathematical formulae of the CASTS system for designing and fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds is contained in Ref. [13].
《Fig. 1》
Fig.1 An example of five polyhedral units and their resultant blocks, generated in the CASTS scaffold library.
《2.2. Functionally graded scaffold》
2.2. Functionally graded scaffold
Natural tissues such as bone usually have a gradient porous structure, so matching mechanical strength and stiffness between porous scaffold design and the target tissue structure is important [14]. There are two types of stiffness gradient in bones: radial gradients in long bones, and linear gradients in short and irregular bones. We have achieved radial gradient design by arranging cylindrical unit cells in a concentric manner so that the porosity decreases linearly from the center to the periphery. This linear gradient occurs as a result of varying the strut diameter along the gradient direction. Therefore, we can tailor the stiffness variation for CASTS scaffolds by adjusting the porosity-stiffness relationship [15]. After modifying and improving the CASTS system, our group successfully fabricated a human mandibular cancellous bone scaffold and a femur bone segment, both with functional gradients [16,17]. An example of a functionally graded femur bone segment is shown in Figure 2. This process is highly accurate and reproducible. Another method of designing gradient structure is based on shape function and on an all-hexahedral mesh refinement [18]. In this method, a truncated bone is subdivided and represented using various irregular hexahedral elements, which are then converted into various irregular pore elements based on shape function. The entire pore model is obtained after a union operation among the irregular pores, and then the resulting bone scaffold is obtained by performing a difference operation between the contour model and the pore model. Using this method, a well-defined pore size distribution can be achieved for gradient bone-scaffold design. Recently, a new method based on sigmoid function and Gaussian radial basis function has been developed to generate functionally graded structures, and the resulting models can be exported as STL-files and be 3D printed [19].
《Fig. 2》
Fig.2 Virtual and physical prototypes of the functionally graded porous scaffold of a femur bone segment.
《2.3. Design for vascularization》
2.3. Design for vascularization
In addition to mechanical performance, vascularization is a major limitation in tissue engineering, especially when engineering thick or bulk tissues. Researchers have proposed various strategies to enhance or accelerate vascularization, in which scaffold design plays a crucial role [20]. Results show that a designed pore size of 250 μm or above favors the growth of blood vessels more than smaller pore sizes [21]. Also, a high porosity does not necessarily lead to more vascularization, because cell migration and vascularization could be inhibited if there is little interconnectivity between pores [22]. Recently, researchers have developed a tool box for evaluating 3D porous scaffolds [23]. This tool box is based on modular scaffold design, and allows the fine-tuning of scaffold pore size and porosity for vascularization study. Our group is exploring a new concept of hybrid scaffold design to address the vascularization issue. This new approach involves thin porous membranes and filament meshes that alternate in layers to form a 3D scaffold (Figure 3) [24].
《Fig. 3》
Fig.3 A proposed hybrid scaffold design for vascularization.
《3. Direct 3D printing》
3. Direct 3D printing
《3.1. Specific forms of materials》
3.1. Specific forms of materials
At room temperature, the primary forms of materials used for 3D printing are solidifiable fluid, non-brittle filament, laminated thin sheet, and fine powder (see Table 1) [25]. Each form is specific for certain 3D-printing processes. If a material is deemed suitable for a particular application but cannot be easily prepared in the specific form required by the desired 3D-printing process, printing this material would be a challenge. Even if a material can be prepared in a specific form, this does not guarantee that the material is 3D printable, because successful printing in the vertical dimension also relies on the bonding strength between layers. Therefore, when exploring a material for 3D scaffold applications, it is important to consider the available forms of the material at the very first stage. Furthermore, in order to increase the range of 3D printable biomaterials, future development should include the invention of new methods to transform existing biomaterials into suitable forms for 3D printing. For example, gelatin gel is solidifiable upon a decrease in temperature, but this low-temperature environment conflicts with what is favorable for cell survival. Therefore, future research may involve the development of a new mechanism of solidification for gelatin, such as solidification by enzymatic crosslinking [26], or the development of a new hybrid mechanism for low-temperature deposition of hydrogels and cells [27].

3.2. Process parameters and limitations
Our group investigated a range of materials using the SLS process for fabricating tissue-engineering scaffolds. Table 2 summarizes the main process parameters for SLS, namely part-bed temperature, laser power, and scan speed. In particular, in the polyetheretherketone/hydroxyapatite (PEEK/HA) system, results show that HA should be kept at 40 wt.% or below in order to ensure structural integrity. In the polyvinyl alcohol/hydroxyapatite (PVA/HA) and polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) systems, HA should be kept at 30 wt.% or below in order to yield successful scaffold specimens with well-defined pore interconnectivity and good structural integrity. When developing composite material systems, although the addition of HA initially improved mechanical properties and bioactivity, it compromised material properties during the hydrolytic degradation process [45]. In addition to scaffolds, we investigated laser sintering of drug delivery devices and their microfeatures [46−48].

Notes: PLLA—poly-L-lactic acid; PLGA—poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid).
One limitation in the SLS process is material wastage when building small prototypes such as tissue-engineering scaffolds. However, this problem can be overcome by incorporating a compact adaptation system into the SLS part bed, allowing the adaptor to transfer the motion of the SLS part bed onto its own small part bed [56]. Up to 6.5 times the amount of powder can be saved by using this device. A second limitation of SLS-made scaffolds is the low retention of cells during cell seeding. One reason is that the materials used for SLS are synthetic and do not favor initial cell attachment. The other reason is that the pores are much larger than cells due to SLS resolution issue, as a result, cells fall through the pores during the seeding process. However, the use of a hybrid 3D scaffold that consists of alternate electrospun nanofibers and 3D printed scaffold layers will prevent cells from falling through, due to the small size of the nanofiber pores [57,58]. An alternative solution is to inject cell-laden collagen hydrogel into the porous structure [59]. An unresolved limitation in SLS scaffolds does exist, for example, the entrapment of powder in the interior region of the porous scaffold. It is difficult to remove the entrapped powder manually, especially for pore sizes below 500 μm. Researchers have explored ultrasonic cleaning with only limited success [60].
《3.3. Modeling for FDM and SLS》
3.3. Modeling for FDM and SLS
In 3D printing, it is important to understand the process itself, as well as the science behind it, in order to improve the process further (Figure 4). PCL is a representative biomaterial for the FDM process. The results from modeling and finite element analysis indicate that the pressure drop and the velocity of the PCL melt flow depend on the flow channel parameters [61]. The temperature gradient of the PCL melt shows that it liquefies within 35% of the channel length [61]. Similarly, we modeled the heat-transfer phenomena during the SLS process. By incorporating material properties such as thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, surface reflectivity, and absorption coefficient, our model helped to identify the biomaterial and laser-beam properties that are critical to the sintering result [62]. It is also important to understand the relationship between mechanical properties and scaffold porosity in 3D printing (Figure 5). We obtained such a plot for FDM, based on experimental data from ABS samples [63,64]. In addition, we found a feasible porosity and compressive stiffness range for our CASTS-designed PCL scaffolds via the testing of physical prototypes [65]. This stiffness range fairly matches the stiffness gradient of cancellous bone in the maxillofacial region, which varies gradually from 35.55 MPa in the molar region to 67.48 MPa in the incisor and canine region [66].

《4. Indirect 3D printing》
4. Indirect 3D printing
Natural polymers usually have very good biocompatibility, and can provide a favorable micro-environment for cells as compared to synthetic polymers. However, the 3D printability of natural polymers is generally poor. Indirect 3D printing was developed in order to produce a 3D porous scaffold using natural polymers such as collagen or gelatin. In contrast to direct 3D printing, which produces a scaffold directly from the model material, indirect 3D printing creates a negative mold, usually from a support material, and then casts the desired polymer scaffold out of the mold via a drying method [6,67,68]. Collagen scaffolds with 3D networks of internal channels can be produced using this approach [69]. Moreover, freeze-drying was found to be the most suitable drying method in indirect 3D printing, as it induced less shrinkage than critical-point drying, and accurately reproduced the design morphology of the channels [69]. Furthermore, indirect fabrication can be combined with a foaming process to produce highly and uniformly porous gelatin scaffolds with complex channel architectures [29,70], as shown in Figure 6(a−d). The order of this structure can be improved further by incorporating monodispersed microspheres into the casting process [71], as shown in Figure 6(e, f). In addition to collagen and gelatin, our group has successfully produced porous scaffolds from silk fibroin protein with both macro- and micro-morphological features [30,72].

《5. Bioreactor》
5. Bioreactor
A bioreactor is an important post-processing tool in tissue engineering, as it provides a dynamic environment for cell-scaffold construct, and facilitates the maturation of the construct. More importantly, a bioreactor is a part of the automation line in industry-scale tissue engineering [73]. A recent study reports that scaffold architecture could influence cell differentiation in a bioreactor, but not in static culture [74], further evidencing the importance of a bioreactor's role. Surprisingly, by taking the advantage of the air-liquid interface commonly found in a rotating bioreactor, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be induced toward the differentiation of alveolar epithelium, offering a new role for a bioreactor in resolving a cell-source problem [75]. The most recent bioreactor design is a dual-flow bioreactor coupled with mechanical stimulation [76]. This novel design allows nutrients, anabolic or catabolic factors to diffuse from one side of the construct, enabling the creation of gradients; as a result, this bioreactor design is well suited for engineering interface tissues. Our group has focused particularly on the effect of interstitial flow on fibroblast responses [77]. Through a computational fluid dynamics study, we found that dynamic flow, even a flow rate as low as 0.002 cm.s−1, can support much better mass exchange, higher cell number, and more even cell and nutrient distribution than static culture [78]. We have also developed a dual-window dual-bandwidth spectroscopic optical-coherence tomography (DWDB-SOCT) technique to monitor fibroblast cell proliferation in scaffolds. Fibroblasts and their distribution in scaffolds are clearly differentiable in the spectroscopic images [79]. In future, we expect that bioreactors will play more biological roles and take on a more integrated design by combining various types of stimulation and non-invasive monitoring techniques.
《6. 3D bioprinting and beyond》
6. 3D bioprinting and beyond
One of the major advances in tissue engineering is the emergence of a new field: 3D bioprinting [80]. Mironov et al. [81] originally proposed the concept of 3D bioprinting as "organ printing," and defined it as the computer-aided, jet-based 3D tissue-engineering of living human organs. This organ printing process exactly follows the typical process chain of 3D printing; that is, starting with a computer-aided design (CAD) model, converting to a STL file, slicing and then printing. The major advantages of organ printing are automation and high cell density, compared to a traditional scaffold-based approach [82]. The materials used for organ printing are microtissues, usually in the form of spheroids. These closely placed spheroids can undergo self-assembly and fuse together [83], forming the foundation of 3D printability in organ printing. Organ printing carries the imminent potential to address organization and complexity issues in engineered tissues [84]. It also carries great potential to foster the establishment of an industry-scale robotic tissue-fabrication line [73]. Nevertheless, current application of organ printing is limited to in vitro drug testing. According to Mironov, the first bioprinted organ transplant in the world is likely to be the thyroid gland of a mouse, in 2015 [85].
Besides organ printing, other elegant bioprinting approaches and methodologies exist, such as inkjet printing, micro-extrusion and laser-assisted forward transfer, which are comprehensively reviewed in Ref. [86]. It is a major challenge in these approaches to position and culture multiple types of cells in a single process at a defined location. Although researchers have obtained initial success in printing heterogeneous tissues [87,88], these were printed in separate compartments and did not replicate the microstructure of the native tissue. To address this challenge, our group plans to focus on a fundamental study of the bioprinting process, such as developing a time-pressure model to precisely control extruded material [89].
One interesting derivation of 3D bioprinting is the integration of microelectronic and mechatronic components. For example, a bio-bot is a walking robot powered by the contraction of a strip of mammalian skeletal muscle cells [90]. Another interesting derivation of 3D bioprinting is the concept of 4D bioprinting. 4D printing refers to the 3D printing of programmable materials; since the printed part gradually transforms in shape over the post-printing period, the fourth dimension refers to time [91]. One physical demonstration of 4D printing involved intelligent active hinges that enabled origami folding [92], and this concept has been extended further to make light-responsive windows that open and close automatically in response to the amount of sunshine. Therefore, the research community considers 4D printing to be a new and emerging field [93]. Our group is currently collaborating with Stratasys (www.stratasys.com) to work on 4D-printable shape-memory polymers [94]. In terms of 4D bioprinting, the development of programmable biomaterials appears to be crucial in realizing time-dependent shape change. The term "4D bioprinting" is currently less defined than that of 4D printing, and the shape it will take in the future is largely unknown, but well worth watching.
《7. Future prospects》
7. Future prospects
In the second decade after the birth of tissue engineering, 3D printing gradually became a definite part of this field, due to its controllability and manufacturing capability. Looking into the future, even once the technical challenges described above are overcome, it will still be a long way from transforming academic know-how into clinical products that benefit society. Researchers' current tasks in the field are to accelerate the standardization and certification of 3D printed medical devices. A prolonged delay in this standardization would make regulatory work even more complicated, especially with the currently trending and transforming 3D bioprinting technologies, because the definition of "medical device" may soon be redefined. Another future trend may come in the legal landscape [95], as the infringement and protection of intellectual properties around 3D printing interweave more intensely. Thus, an early and informed exploration of various legal approaches could be the best preparation to cope with tomorrow's changes.

I mentioned Friday night. Friday was hard. I fell asleep a lot in Genes, I made it through practical barely with Spork harassing me about time the whole way (Jo couldn't make it in and thus couldn't be my partner), I sat in the back in Humans and like everyone else couldn't pay attention. I came home and concentrated on writing and reading. Sarah got really drunk. I was in Juliette's room writing, Juliette had the idea to put her to bed. We did. I had the urge to stay with Sarah and comfort her but denied it at J's insistence. S escaped and tumbled back, J put her back to bed with my help. I said that if S came out one more time, I was going to go in and sing her to sleep, that was that. J said, "No, in this case the next time you would put them to bed without speaking at all." I said, "That might work for you, but that's not my idea of parenting. My parents would never have done that to me unless they had tried with words and comfort first. I will sing to her and stay with her if she wants it." I was thinking, 'This isn't a child, Juliette, this is a frightened drunken-more-than-ever-before young adult.'
She came back nearly green reporting that she was sick. J hurried her to the loo. Rich (Juliette's boyfriend) and I went to S's room and cleaned up her sink, where she had been sick. We made her bed and set out her jammies. I went to the loo and ducked down near her, held her hair and rubbed her back, tried to keep her warm when she said she was shivering. When she requested water I asked if they'd grab water and a hoodie.
Water was brought, she kept cleaning her mouth with a bit more sicking. I stuck around and offered to get her into a hoodie. She was set on the idea of a hot shower. Juliette tried to deny it, saying she should go right back to bed. I straightened my spine and looked up at this girl 3 years older than me and disagreed with all I had, possibly one of the first times. I told her if Sarah wanted a hot shower, she should have a hot shower--feel clean and warm and safe, and I could understand not wanting to be in bed while still feeling sick. I'm the type who likes staying around near the bathroom while I don't feel good, and going back to my room/bed as more of a safe haven when I know I feel mostly better.
I helped her get to the shower and when she got to the stall she just said, "Oh whatever," and plopped down fully clothed in the shower. Everyone else looked around and at each other as I shot in and comforted her. No one knew what to do with two soaking, clothed girls in a shower. I didn't really care, Sarah didn't really care. I kept her from beating herself up over getting too drunk. Squeezed her when she admitted to missing Harry. Kept Juliette the royal frak off her, because no one needs a lecture about "getting that drunk again" while fully clothed in the frakking shower immediately following sicking one's brain out. Just no. Save it for the morning, at least. J at one point called security but they came and said just what I would have: she didn't drink comparatively THAT much, she just doesn't drink much; she sicked most of it up so she would be doing better; she was responsive and aware; someone should stay with her through the night. I offered. J kept trying to get me to get her out of the shower, and though a little guilt nagged at me for water use, I rolled my eyes at accommodation prices and dug my heels in. Whenever I asked Sarah she just really wanted, needed, to stay in the shower warm and comfortable and consoled. I stayed with her in the shower for two hours. Batgirl even came home.
Finally we got her out of her clothes in the shower, dried off and in jammies without anyone having to see. (I was heckled for being The Lesbian in a shower with a girl--an old squish--then girl in her underthings and then a naked girl, and it hurt a bit but I was just super sensitive, so I let it go.) She was more responsive. Enough to make fun of J. We got her back to her room with a heating pad and sitting with a big pile of blankets. I brought my pillow and Rowe Bear for her. Then my duvet. Then some hats. Finally brought my last pillow and my shawl and set down in Harry's chair to stay with her through the night. The others stayed in the room a bit but then drifted off while she was mumbling about feeling sick.
Some time at night she moved around, pushed off my duvet and lay properly in bed. I took my duvet and pillow and moved to the floor. She woke at some point in the morning and we had a conversation; she was feeling a lot better. She went to sleep again in Harry's chair. At noon she decided to get up so I went back to my room. That was the Sarah Saga, for which she is now slightly famous.
Everyone thinks I've had this Terribly Rocky past for being able to deal with a drunk person. It surprised me some. I didn't see it as Dealing with a Drunk, just as working compassionately with a person in need. Sarah was glad we were all there.
Saturday and Sunday were also busts for getting things done and sleeping.
Last night I slept on the floor with my room freezing cold from the window being open to dry my wet washing that was everywhere. I then didn't go to lecture, had Jo take extra good notes for me, to wait for the Dell guy. I got a call at 11 canceling until the next and thought, oh, great, now I'm screwed if they try to come between 2 and 6 because I have a lecture and practical. I got another call for "confirmation" but it didn't really do anything. I stayed in my corridor right outside my door with my duvet and sleeping things all the way until dinner, reading fanfic with occasional outbursts and once in a while tears. Near dinner I got a third call from Dell (they barely let it ring) and the message that they didn't have the part I wanted and so WOULDN'T be coming tomorrow, they'd call me when they had it.
Why they couldn't have told me that the FIRST TWO times they called, I don't know. I got angry and frustrated and sad all at the same time, so Sarah comforted me a bit but wasn't really sure what to do. (Most people aren't.)
Dinner was alright. Checked in with Batgirl when she finally got home. More time with Pirate, they're still talking things through or whatever. Juliette's room for Scream and American Werewolf in London. I finished The Children's Hour. Taught Juliette about Koolaid, which she really likes. She told me I should have my Mum bring fruit rollups because people here love them. I came back to my room and finished watching the L Word I had started.
Most of my washing, all but like four things, is dry. No sheets yet but at least I've got my duvet on my bed and I'm sleeping in a proper bed, and I got to close the window up almost completely. That's good news.
Tomorrow I have Mammals at 2 and practical after. Hopefully it will only last until 4. Tomorrow night I want to get a lot done on my Beeches report, if not bring it out into a semi- or complete-all-nighter to get it done so I don't have to worry about it Busy Thursday and I can just pass it in. We'll see what happens.
I'm not actually down right now. A bit peeved.
My family is coming to visit me. I'll see them in about a week. It'll be nice, and I would be even more excited if everything else were going better. I'm happy.
It's just a bit weird. I've been planning, expecting, adjusting my mind/heart/whatever for my First Birthday Away. I was going to be turning 19 without my family, and I got myself to actually be excited. Sarah and I, with a few others, were planning to go into London or something. Have some fun. Last year turning 18 my birthday was very friend-oriented, it was my dive into the pool. This year I was going to submerge and explore the underwaters of birthdays away from home. It's just a big change to adjust again to another plan. Not that it's not a wonderful birthday present to have my family! It's just not what I had expected/planned for. It's a big change to me. I'm wondering how it's going to work out. My mind, after working so hard through the last year and especially through the last month, can't adjust to the idea of suddenly having my family here. It runs through disappointment at lack of freedom and new experiences to high excitement to have my family around for turning 19. Strange creature, the Mind...
I should go off to bed now though. I've put a lot into my livejournal already. Should go to sleep by 4, so written journal and sleepy time. Sad.
