Statistical Analysis of the Influence of Imperfect Texture Shape and Dimensional Uncertainty on Surface Texture Performance

IEEE Access, 2017
This paper investigates the effects of imperfect texture shape and dimensional uncertainty on the surface texture performance (load-carrying capacity and coefficient of friction) by adopting numerical experiments, statistical models, and artificial ...

Statistical analysis of stoppages in a metal stamping line: Case study

Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2023
Purpose: This article seeks to establish a statistical analysis to estimate the time of stoppages in a stamping line, which have a high variability that generates an unreliable scenario for the production program.

A new flow chip in combination with multiphoton microscopy as a protocol for longitudinal 3D imaging of tissue calcification under shear stress

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Miniaturized flow chip platform enabling continuous perfusion and longitudinal multiphoton 3D imaging of vascular smooth muscle cell constructs under physiological flow. Brightfield imaging guides region selection, while CellTracker Green and mRuby‐labeled fetuin‐A visualize cells and mineral deposition, respectively. Magnesium supplementation markedly

Statistical Analysis of Surface Texture Performance With Provisions With Uncertainty in Texture Dimensions

IEEE Access, 2017
The performance of surface textures with dimensional uncertainty due to the manufacturing process is investigated with statistical models. The uncertainty parameters are geometrical dimensions (i.e., dimple diameter, area ratio, and dimple depth) and the

Methodology used to investigate the energy savings of opaque ventilated façades in residential buildings in Brazil

MethodsX, 2021
Opaque ventilated facades have as it main advantage reduce cooling thermal loads, thus reducing the energy consumed by artificial systems. This paper presents the method used by Maciel and Carvalho (2019) [1], that investigated the energy benefit of ...

Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...

Investment case for malaria elimination in South Africa: a financing model for resource mobilization to accelerate regional malaria elimination

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Malaria continues to be a public health problem in South Africa. While the disease is mainly confined to three of the nine provinces, most local transmissions occur because of importation of cases from neighbouring countries. The government of

Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...
