Where Projects Fail: Geospatial Evidence of Delays and Cancellations in Chinese Development Finance

open access: yesJournal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Delays and cancellations can severely undermine the effectiveness of development finance. Yet, little systematic evidence exists on where and why these disruptions occur within the rapidly expanding portfolio of Chinese‐financed development projects in Africa.

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

Detecting Loosening of Bolt‐Flanged Pipe Using Smoothed Pseudo Wigner–Ville Distribution: Digital Twin‐Based Approach Using Convolution Neural Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, an integrated digital twin‐based fault‐diagnosis framework is proposed to detect bolt loosening in flanged pipe connections. The approach combines finite element‐based numerical modeling, experimental modal analysis, and advanced signal processing‐assisted deep learning to achieve reliable loosening detection under operational ...
