Exploring the Design of Pay-Per-Use Objects in the Construction Domain [PDF]

, 2008
Equipment used in the construction domain is often hired in order to reduce cost and maintenance overhead. The cost of hire is dependent on the time period involved and does not take into account the actual use equipment has received. This paper presents

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

Inhaled Angiopoietin‐Like 4 Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy for Lung Injury and Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inhaled antisense oligonucleotides targeting ANGPTL4 attenuate inflammation, preserve barrier integrity, and reduce fibrosis in both infectious and sterile lung injury models. Integrated transcriptomic analysis reveals a conserved ANGPTL4‐regulated gene network coordinating hypoxic, inflammatory, apoptotic, and stress‐response pathways.

A Reliability-based Opportunistic Predictive Maintenance Model for k-out-of-n Deteriorating Systems

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2013
Motivated by the effectiveness of condition-based maintenance (CBM) for single-unit systems, we develop in this paper an opportunistic predictive maintenance model for a k-out-of-n deteriorating system.

Optimal maintenance of multi-component systems: a review [PDF]

, 2006
In this article we give an overview of the literature on multi-component maintenance optimization. We focus on work appearing since the 1991 survey "A survey of maintenance models for multi-unit systems" by Cho and Parlar.

Multi-event Maintenance Decision-making Model Based on Opportunistic Maintenance Policy [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2015 3rd International Conference on Management Science, Education Technology, Arts, Social Science and Economics, 2015
As one core of modern maintenance theory, the maintenance decision-making theory has become a key research direction with its high precision and systematization. The maintenance decision-making aims to provide a reliable theoretical basis for the exclusion of faults to ensure normal circulation, adjust maintenance plan and treat of benefits, efficiency

Sphingomonas paucimobilis‐Driven Epithelial–Endothelial Transition in Adenomyosis Pathogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies epithelial–endothelial transition (EET) as a novel adenomyosis pathogenic mechanism driven by Sphingomonas paucimobilis colonization. Systematic inhibitor experiments validate a TNFα→NF‐κB→MMP signaling cascade essential for EET. Critically, bacterial culture supernatant fails to induce pathological changes, demonstrating viable ...

Maternal Preconception Antibiotic Exposure Disrupts Microbial Succession: A Transgenerational Risk for Offspring Gut Mucosal Immaturity and Colitis Susceptibility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that maternal antibiotic exposure prior to conception disrupts intergenerational gut microbial succession. By enhancing maternal‐offspring microbial transmission, altering microbial developmental trajectories and increasing selective pressures during community assembly, these disturbances lead to persistent gut mucosal immaturity and
