Failure Rates for Aging Aircraft [PDF]
Safety, 2018 In any consideration of the operating condition, the age of a particular aircraft is a major factor. Much attention is focused on planes which are aged, that is, aircraft with chronological age or accumulated hours of use beyond a threshold. Being aged is a state, and should be distinguished from aging, which is a process of degradation with use.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Standardization of cumulative failure rates [PDF]
Demography, 1975 Abstract A method is proposed for standardizing life table cumulative failure rates for various cohorts so that they are adjusted to the distribution of exposure by age group for a particular cohort. An approximate standard error for the standardized cumulative failure rate is presented. Application of the methodology is illustrated by a

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Different Types of Voice User Interface Failures May Cause Different Degrees of Frustration [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We report on an investigation into how different types of failures in a voice user interface (VUI) affects user frustration. To this end, we conducted a pilot user study ($n=10$) and a main user study ($n=30$), both with a simple voice-operated calendar application that we built using the Alexa Skills Kit.
