Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

An Unusual Cause of Acute Hypercapneic Respiratory Failure

open access: yes, 2011
We present a rare cause of hypercapneic respiratory failure through this case report of a 72-year-old man presenting with progressive dyspnea and dysphagia over two years. Hypercapneic respiratory failure was acute on chronic in nature without an obvious

Long-Term High-Flow Nasal Cannula in Chronic Respiratory Failure in a Patient with Bronchiectasis

open access: yesActa Médica Portuguesa
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a gas delivery system that provides heated and humidified air at higher flow rates than conventional oxygen therapy. While studies on the role of HFNC as a long-term treatment for chronic respiratory failure are limited,
