Defining Lines of Defense Against Change Propagation Using Cause‐Consequence Analysis
ABSTRACT Complex engineered systems are the core of modern society. So that engineered systems and infrastructure can be sustainable and offer value over the course of their lifespan, there is a growing need for such systems to be changeable. Yet, establishing and operationalizing changeability can be challenging due to the potential for change ...

Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),

Quantifying and Tracking Flexibility of System Elements to Support (Re)Design Decision‐Making
ABSTRACT Evolving objectives and requirements, risk management processes, and external disruptions frequently drive change in engineered systems. Due to these pressures, system architects must anticipate and manage change throughout a system's lifecycle. Yet, managing change is challenging due to the risk of change propagation.

ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

P(論文) Until now, some project scheduling problems have concentrated on minimizingmake-span with a fixed task processing time. However in real life, the processingtime may be indeterminate, such as in tasks of Theory of Constraints(TOC)scheduling. The TOC Scheduling points out the reason of indeterminate processingtime by prolongation of start point of ...

ABSTRACT Urban walking routes are promoted as health‐supportive environments, yet they may also act as microenvironments of pollutant exposure during physical activity. This study evaluated heavy metal exposure along urban walking routes by integrating road dust metal concentrations, conventional health risk assessment, deposited inhalation dose, and ...

Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) causes chronic pain and reduces welfare in dogs. Standard treatments may be inadequate or associated with adverse effects, prompting investigation of alternative therapies. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non‐pharmacological pain management method, but evidence for its efficacy in canine ...
