Reliability and Risk Acceptance Criteria for Civil Engineering Structures
The specification of risk and reliability acceptance criteria is a key issue of reliability verifications of new and existing structures. Current target reliability levels in standards appear to have considerable scatter.

Quantifying reliability of sheetpile walls
The performance of existing quay walls and sheet pile walls reduces in time due to corrosion-induced degradation of the steel profiles. The safety verification of structures that do not belong to the primary flood defense system is currently based on ...

Incomplete microwave ablation (iMWA) of liver cancer triggers a biphasic progression in residual tumors. At Day 3, the microenvironment is characterized by acute inflammatory responses and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. By Day 14, a profound shift occurs toward oncogenic signal transduction and immunosuppression, marked by macrophage ...

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae
Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Evaluating the recyclability and restabilization of laboratory plastics consumables: impact of autoclaving and mechanical recycling on polypropylene [PDF]
Laboratory environments generate substantial amounts of plastic waste primarily consisting of single-use polypropylene (PP) consumables such as pipette tips or test tubes. In this study, the recyclability of such materials is investigated with a focus on

Reliability analysis of existing sheet pile walls based on the 1-year reference period
Deterioration caused by corrosion is a concern for asset management of steel sheet pile walls at the end of their design lifetime. Aiming to support decision-making related to lifetime extension, TNO has performed research within the Kennisprogramma ...

Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

An Estimation Methodology for Car Wheel Forces in Fully General Ride and Handling Driving Conditions
Wheel forces represent fundamental information to assess and evaluate handling, safety, comfort, structural integrity and durability of vehicles. During driving, they can be directly measured with wheel force transducers (WFT). However, these sensors are
