Enhancing Detection Accuracy for Clinical Heart Failure Utilizing Pulse Transit Time Variability and Machine Learning

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Physiological signal variability can offer important insight into cardiovascular activity and clinical cardiovascular diseases. Heart rate variability (HRV) and pulse transit time variability (PTTV) are two important time series variabilities.

The Impact of Tenapanor on Body Composition and Blood Pressure in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Pilot Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Instruction Tenapanor potentially affects fluid volume and blood pressure. This study explored its effects on these parameters in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods We conducted a single‐arm, prospective observational study that enrolled 10 patients on PD with hyperphosphatemia who were newly initiated on tenapanor.

Copulas Arisen from Degradation-Based Time-to-Failure Models

open access: yes, 2022
There are a variety of degradation models in the literature, each with a certain effect of random variation around the mean degradation path on the time-to-failure of the device being degraded.

Efficient estimation of the mean time between failures in non-regenerative dependability models [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 25th conference on Winter simulation - WSC '93, 1993
In this paper we discuss fast simulation techniques for estimating the steady-state mean time between failures (MTBF) in non-Markovian models of highly dependable systems. The key is to use a ratio representation of the MTBF, in which the denominator is closely related to the probability of a rare event and is therefore amenable to estimation using ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

New Method for Updating Mean Time Between Failure for ISS Orbital Replaceable Units Consultation Report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A request to conduct a peer review of the International Space Station (ISS) proposal to use Bayesian methodology for updating Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) for ISS Orbital Replaceable Units (ORU) was submitted to the NASA Engineering and Safety Center

Impact of Electronic Components Thermal Resilience on the Reliability of Radio-Electronic Equipment

open access: yesVìsnik Nacìonalʹnogo Tehnìčnogo Unìversitetu Ukraïni Kììvsʹkij Polìtehnìčnij Ìnstitut: Serìâ Radìotehnìka, Radìoaparatobuduvannâ
The article focuses on the impact of temperature on the reliability of electronic components, as in non-redundant radio-electronic equipment, the failure of any component typically leads to the failure of the entire device.

Long-term ice-rich permafrost coast sensitivity to air temperatures and storm influence: lessons from Pullen Island, Northwest Territories, Canada

open access: yesArctic Science, 2021
Response of erosive mechanisms to climate change is of mounting concern on Beaufort Sea coasts, which experience some of the highest erosion rates in the Arctic.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
