Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

The New Approximate Calculation Method for the First Order Reliability

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Research, 2013
One new method is presented for computing engineering structure reliability by accelerating convergence based on the analysis of errors in the center point method and borrowing ideas form the merits of the other First-Order Second Moment (FOSM) methods. The accelerating convergence method is based on the first class Chebyshev polynomials.

Fire Safety of Plane Steel Truss according to System Reliability Analysis Combined with FORM Method: The Probabilistic Model and SYSREL Computation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
This article focuses on the reliability analysis of the plane steel truss under fire conditions. The safety of the structure was estimated by system reliability analysis combined with First Order Reliability Method (FORM).

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

The Application of Structural Reliability and Sensitivity Analysis in Engineering Practice

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Standard safety assessments of civil engineering systems are conducted using safety factors. An alternative method to this approach is the assessment of the engineering system using reliability analysis of the structure.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Effect of the Correlation between Hydraulic Parameters on the Reliability Analysis of a Riprap Designed around Bridge Pier

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2021
One of the most common and practical methods in controlling the local scour around bridge pier is to place a protective riprap layer. Due to various uncertainties in the design of this countermeasure method, in the present study, the reliability analysis

On the nonstationary identification of climate-influenced loads for the semi-probabilistic approach using measured and projected data

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2022
A safe and economic structural design based on the semi-probabilistic concept requires statistically representative safety elements, such as characteristic values, design values, and partial safety factors.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.
