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

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Safety factor for flaw evaluation of a pipe having a circumferential surface flaw

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
In order to prevent failure of piping, limitation on flaw depth according to the circumferential flaw angle is prescribed in the Fitness-For-Service Codes (FFS Codes) of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME).
