Reliability estimation of corroded RC structures based on spatial variability using experimental evidence, probabilistic analysis and finite element method

Engineering structures, 2019
Corrosion of steel reinforcement is spatially distributed over RC structures due to several factors such as different environmental exposure, concrete cover, and concrete quality, among others.

Cardiac sarcoidosis: from clinical manifestations to heart transplantation

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundCardiac sarcoidosis (CS) represents one of the most severe and prognostically unfavorable manifestations of systemic sarcoidosis. Its diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms and the patchy myocardial distribution of ...

Feasibility study of fuzzy method in slope stability analysis of earth dams with respect to the uncertainty of geotechnical parameters [PDF]

Journal of Hydraulic Structures
The stability of earth dams is assessed through safety factors, indicating stability if they exceed one. Due to soil property uncertainties, fuzzy logic tools seem suitable for slope stability analysis.

Uncertainty in Muscle–Tendon Parameters can Greatly Influence the Accuracy of Knee Contact Force Estimates of Musculoskeletal Models

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Understanding the sources of error is critical before models of the musculoskeletal system can be usefully translated. Using in vivo measured tibiofemoral forces, the impact of uncertainty in muscle–tendon parameters on the accuracy of knee contact force

Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis: A Review of Research Gaps

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Tsunamis are unpredictable and infrequent but potentially large impact natural disasters. To prepare, mitigate and prevent losses from tsunamis, probabilistic hazard and risk analysis methods have been developed and have proved useful.
