Mycophenolate Mofetil Treatment Reduces the Risk of Treatment Escalation Due to Vascular Complications in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis: Emulation of a Target Trial From the Italian Rheumatology Society SPRING Registry

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon because of the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.

Characterization of Defect Distribution in an Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg as a Function of Processing Parameters and Correlations with Extreme Value Statistics

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

Study of the Dependence Between the Belts Width and the Loading Method of Granular Materials in the Case of Conveyors Belt

Scientific Bulletin of Valahia University: Materials and Mechanics
In this study we will focus on the problems that arise due to the high travel speeds that the piston of a hydraulic motor develops during operation. These speeds lead to an increase in the value of the kinetic friction coefficient.

Stress-path Dependency of Resilient Behaviour of Granular Materials [PDF]

, 2010
The resilient modulus and Poisson's ratio of granular materials used in flexible pavement structures is highly nonlinear, stress/strain path and direction-dependent. Resilient properties are very important for realistic flexible pavement design. By far,
