Opportunistic maintenance scheduling with stochastic opportunities duration in a predictive maintenance strategy

open access: yesIFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
To guarantee a good level of facilities performance (reliability and availability), maintenance activities have to be planned and scheduled efficiently. Maintenance scheduling decides, in a tactical way, when theses maintenance activities will be carried out according to the appearance of opportunities.

Construction of a MOF‐Based Snap‐Top Delivery Nanosystem for Powerful Dual‐Responsive Synergistic Colitis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A snap‐top delivery nanosystem based on an azobenzene metal–organic framework achieves targeted release of 6‐mercaptopurine via acid‐stable frameworks and hypoxia/pH dual‐responsive β‐cyclodextrin gates. This multifunctional platform integrates three synergistic mechanisms: precision drug delivery to inflammatory sites, intrinsic antioxidant properties

Advanced Dental Composite Technology via Bisilanized Dual‐Action Nanofillers for Biofilm Control

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multimodal research strategy has led to the development of an innovative resin‐based composite (RBC) with dual antibacterial action. The S_CM‐RBC formula showed strong antibiofilm activity, excellent mechanical strength, and biosafety. It effectively controlled oral bacteria in prevention of caries recurrence, and maintained pulp health in a rat ...

A Cationic Supramolecule With Potent Antifungal Activity, Single‐Species Selectivity, and Strong Synergy With Echinocandins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a new membrane‐active antifungal design, Gua‐SMACS‐16, that exhibits high potency and single‐species selectivity for C. tropicalis while sparing other close species in the Candida genus. Moreover, when combining with caspofungin, a clinical antifungal drug inhibiting 1,3‐β‐glucan synthase, they exhibit ultra‐strong synergy across a panel ...

PancDS in Real‐World Practice: A Prospective Multicenter Validation of a Clinical Decision‐Support System Bridging Experience Gaps in Pancreatic Lesion Diagnosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic artificial intelligence system, PancDS, has been developed to distinguish pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from mass‐forming pancreatitis by adaptively integrating clinical data, radiomics, and deep learning features. Validated across multicenter, reader‐study, and prospective settings, PancDS improves diagnostic accuracy, particularly for
