Arguing from Hazard Analysis in Safety Cases: A Modular Argument Pattern

, 2017
We observed that safety arguments are prone to stay too abstract, e.g. solutions refer to large packages, argument strategies to complex reasoning steps, contexts and assumptions lack traceability.

Prognostics and Health Management in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells: Current Trends, Challenges, and Future Directions

Fuel Cells, Volume 26, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Prognostics and health management are crucial for the reliability and lifetime assessment of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). Here, we review the current advances on this topic, focusing mainly on key degradation mechanisms and methodologies such as physics‐aware, data‐driven, and hybrid modeling approaches.

Weibull‐Neural Network Framework for Wind Turbine Lifetime Monitoring and Disturbance Identification

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wind turbines are vital for sustainable energy, yet their reliability under diverse operational and environmental conditions remains a challenge, often leading to costly failures. This study presents a novel Weibull‐Neural Network Framework to enhance wind turbine lifetime monitoring by estimating reliability (R(t)) and mean residual life (MRL)

Leveraging large language models for heuristic usability assessment of medical software: Insights with the Radiation Planning Assistant

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background Usability engineering is essential for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical software, as design‐related issues are a leading cause of use errors in clinical settings. Heuristic evaluation provides a practical approach to identifying usability problems, but its outcomes depend heavily on expert interpretation.
