Paper yarn. Paper yarn is the yarn made from paper strips chiefly with wood pulp cut into strips and then twisted to form a yarn. Germany invented Paper yarn in the late 19th century, although paper has been used in textiles in Japan for centuries. They used various products made of paper yarn during and after wartime.

Method 
The process was simple by cutting moist wood pulp into fine strips and then spinning into yarn. The thickness of the yarn depends upon the used strips or fiber.

Trade marks 

Licella is a paper yarn made of wood pulp. Silvalin is similar paper yarn to Licella. Xylolin was a variety of Paper yarn made in Saxony. Developed by Emil Claviej in 1903, it was less prone to shrinkage and had better water stability. It was also used in manufacturing carpet backing.

Bioinstructive material. Bioinstructive materials provide instruction to biological cells or tissue, for example immune instruction when monocytes are cultured on certain polymers they polarise to pro- or anti-inflammatory macrophages with potential applications in implanted devices, or materials for the repair of musculoskeletal tissues. Due to the paucity of information on the mechanism of materials control of cells, beyond the general recognition of the important role of adsorbed biomolecules, high throughput screening of large libraries of materials, topographies, and shapes are often used to identify cell instructive material systems. Applications of bioinstructive materials as substrates for stem cell production, cell delivery and reduction of foreign body reaction and coatings to reduce infections on medical devices. This non-leaching approach is distinct from strategies of infection control relying on antibiotic release, cytokine delivery or guidance of cells by surface located epitopes inspired by nature.

Multifunctional alginate scaffolds for T cell engineering and release 
An example of bioinstructive scaffolds utilized is the Multifunctional alginate scaffolds for T cell engineering and release  (MASTER). MASTER is a technique for in situ engineering, replication and release of genetically engineered T cells. It is an evolution of CAR-T cell therapy. T cells are extracted from the patient and mixed with a genetically engineered virus that contains a cancer targeting gene (as with CAR T). The mixture is then added to a MASTER (scaffold), which absorbs them. The MASTER contains antibodies that activate the T cells and interleukins that trigger cell proliferation. The MASTER is then implanted into the patient. The activated T cells interact with the viruses to become CAR T cells. The interleukins stimulate these CAR T cells to proliferate, and the CAR T cells exit the MASTER to attack the cancer. The technique takes hours instead of weeks. And because the cells are younger, they last longer in the body, show stronger potency against cancer, and display fewer markers of exhaustion. These features were demonstrated in mouse models. The treatment was more effective and longer lasting against lymphoma.

CorelCAD. CorelCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D and 3D design. It works on macOS and Windows operating systems. There is also a mobile app of CorelCAD for Android and iOS devices, but it needs a license in order to be accessible.

History 
CorelCAD was first released in May 2011 based on the ARES engine developed by Graebert, a German company. Upon release, it was priced at $699 only.

Unlike other Corel products, CorelCAD is not included in any packages including the CorelDRAW Graphic Suite and WordPerfect Office.

Features 

CorelCAD contains all the necessary features of a computer-aided design (CAD) application, but lacks the advanced features which can be found in Autodesk AutoCAD. It can support graphics formats such as DWG, CDR, DXF, SHP, and more.

Compared to AutoCAD, CorelCAD has a cleaner and easier interface to use and learn. However, it lacks the robust features in AutoCAD.

Grampian 23. The Grampian 23 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat that was designed by Alex McGruer as a cruiser and first built in 1971.

Production
The design was built by Grampian Marine in Canada between 1971 and 1976 with 450 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Grampian 23 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a stub keel with a swing keel, or optional fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the swing keel extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small  outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring.

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a dinette table in the main cabin that converts to a double berth and an aft berth on the port side, under the cockpit. The galley is located on the port side amidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is .

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 270 and a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "the emphasis on this design appears to be to provide basic sailboat transportation at a low price. Beauty is not a selling point; her appearance is too slab-sided and top-heavy to qualify her as pretty. Best features: The raised poptop can be fitted with snap-on weather curtains and vinyl windows to make a serviceable convertible doghouse underway. Between the poptop hatch and a good-sized ventilation hatch forward, there should be plenty of air below. Worst features: The Grampian 23 is the slowest of her comp[etitor]s (despite her relatively long waterline), with a significantly higher PHRF rating. Construction is not nearly as high in quality as either of her comps. Her cockpit is small and squeezed toward the stern, which tends to force the stern down and the bow up when the cockpit is loaded. One owner says that the cockpit is 'about two feet short of perfect.' Presumably, the original plan was to allot more space to accommodations, but the idea somehow didn't work, as seen by comparing the Grampian 23 to the O'Day 23 Mk I ... The O'Day's layout nearly duplicates the Grampian’s, but somehow ends up with a 6 1/2-foot cockpit compared to the Grampian's 5 1/2-foot arrangement."

In a review, Michael McGoldrick wrote that the design is, "a spacious 23 footer with enough room for a private head. The large interior comes at the expense of the cockpit, which is a little small in comparison to other boats in this size range."
