Repairing and meshing imperfect shapes with Delaunay refinement [PDF]
As a direct consequence of software quirks, designer errors, and representation flaws, often three-dimensional shapes are stored in formats that introduce inconsistencies such as small gaps and overlaps between surface patches. We present a new algorithm that simultaneously repairs imperfect geometry and topology while generating Delaunay meshes of ...

Reconstruction of a long defect of the median nerve with a free nerve conduit flap
Upper limb nerve damage is a common condition, and evidence suggests that functional recovery may be limited following peripheral nerve repair in cases of delayed reconstruction or reconstruction of long nerve defects.

Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

How Does the Chinese Government Promote the Development of the Social Credit System?
This paper introduces the four stages of the construction of China’s social credit system. In combination with the characteristics of the institutional system, this paper describes the specific practices adopted by the Chinese government to promote the ...

Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Optimal number of imperfect repairs for deteriorating systems [PDF]
A periodic maintenance policy through either an imperfect repair or replacement is proposed for a repairable system. It is assumed that the system is subject to an inverse Gaussian degradation process.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Repair is a type of maintenance carried out on an item after it fails. A failure may occur any time, hence the times to repair cannot be pre-specified. Methods used to model times to failures are normally stochastic processes such as the renewal process and the homogeneous Poisson process, depending on the effectiveness of a repair.

Considering that the entire electric multiple unit (EMU) needs to be withdrawn from service for carrying out preventive maintenance (PM) of the critical equipment, leading to an increase to downtime loss, the concept of replacement repair is proposed in ...
