BSACI guidance for the implementation of Palforzia® peanut oral immunotherapy in the United Kingdom: a Delphi consensus study by Marrs, Tom, Patel, Nandinee, Burrell, Sarah, Rampersad, Anjali, Minshall, Eleanor, Leech, Susan, Chandratilleke, Dinusha, Dempsey, Justine, Ludman, Sian, Roberts, Graham, Michaelis, Louise Jane, Brough, Helen A., Karanam, Surendra, Batt, Rebecca, Moulsdale, Phoebe, Steifel, Gary, Tiwana, Kiran, Smith, Helen, Knight, Katherine, Vazquez-Ortiz, Marta, Vyas, Deepan, Turner, Paul J., Makwana, Nick

“…Results: The panel achieved consensus on 91% (29/32) of guidance statements, demonstrating strong consensus around pragmatic principles for assuring the integrity of consent, safety and conversion from Palforzia® to real-world peanut products. The greatest amount of feedback was generated from three broad issues; (i) whether eligibility assessment should include compulsory peanut challenges and whether these should be designed to assess the threshold at which patients react to peanut, (ii) the governance processes to best ensure that patients' interests are prioritised and (iii) how to safely transition young people to other services, or discharge them, while they are taking daily peanut. …”

Architecture-independent reactivity tuning of Ni/Al multilayers by solid solution alloying by Danzi, S, Schnabel, V, Zhao, X, Käch, J, Spolenak, R

“…Nickel layers were alloyed with copper and platinum, resulting in strong modification of the properties of the heat front, temperature, and propagation velocity, while at the same time leaving the multilayer architecture unaltered. This effect hails from a shift in the rate limiting mechanism during intermixing of the reacting species that promotes the propagation of the reaction. …”
