Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

Soil‐dependent variation in strigolactone signaling distance revealed by a parasitic seed germination bioassay

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A parasitic seed germination bioassay reveals strong soil‐dependent variation in strigolactone signaling distance, controlled by physical and biological soil properties, which shapes signaling range and parasitic weed infection risk. Abstract BACKGROUND Strigolactones are root‐exuded plant metabolites acting as germination stimulants for several ...

A Sensitivity Analysis Workflow for Power Series Compounded Lifetime Models: Evidence From Weibull Power Series Fits

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a practical procedure to quantify the time varying influence of parameters on hazard functions for power series compounded lifetime models. The procedure combines likelihood based fitting with a two stage sensitivity analysis and applies to a range of baselines and compounding laws.

Lot Acceptance Under Inspection Errors: Benefits of Multiple‐Inspector Sampling Versus Single‐Inspector 100% Inspection

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In high‐value and safety‐critical manufacturing contexts (e.g., aerospace, nuclear and defense sectors), reliable and robust conformity assessment of production lots is imperative. While 100% inspection by a single inspector may seem like a solution for this purpose, it can be prone to human error, which can distort lot acceptance decisions ...
