Reliability Model of Consecutive $(2, k)$ -Out-of-( $2, n$ ) :F Systems With Local Load-Sharing
Most previous reliability models of consecutive k-out-of-n system assume that the components are independent or their reliabilities are equal. The system reliability can be obtained according to the configuration of k consecutive failed components ...

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

A Novel Model-Based Dynamic Analysis Method for State Correlation With IMA Fault Recovery
Integrated modular avionics (IMA) systems present many advantages. However, the resource sharing mechanism also brings a series of system problems, including the frequency of fault propagation and the difficulties of system design verification.

Optimizing the reliability of a bank with Logistic Regression and Particle Swarm Optimization [PDF]
It is well-known that disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering and software engineering witnessed successful applications of reliability engineering concepts. However, the concept of reliability in its strict sense is missing in financial services.

A Benchmark on Reliability of Complex Discrete Systems: Emergency Power Supply of a Nuclear Power Plant [PDF]
This paper contains two parts: the description of a real electrical system, with many redundancies, reconfigurations and repairs, then the description of a reliability model of this system, based on the BDMP (Boolean logic Driven Markov Processes) formalism and partial results of a reliability and availability calculation made from this model.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.
