Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Development of Simplified Mechanical Model for Welding Deformation in Multi-Pass Welding

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing
This paper proposes a simplified mechanical model to estimate transverse shrinkage and angular distortion in multi-pass butt welding. The simplified mechanical model is first derived for an I-groove joint by representing the heated weld region with one ...

Transverse shrinkage anisotropy of coniferous wood investigated by the power spectrum analysis

Journal of Wood Science, 1998
The transverse shrinkage behavior of early wood and late wood tracheids of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) was investigated by the power spectrum analysis. The representative cell model shapes before and after shrinkage constructed by the analysis revealed that the early wood tracheid showed anisotropic shrinkage, although the late wood tracheid ...

Integrated PANoptosis Profiling Identifies Immunosuppressive Subtypes and a Prognostic Signature With Functional Validation of MLKL in Glioblastoma

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) remains highly unfavorable, largely due to high tumor heterogeneity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, the functional role of PANoptosis in this context is poorly understood. Methods Patients were stratified via K‐means clustering. A risk score model was constructed using prognosis‐

Equivalent Nodal Force Versus Thermal Load in Nonlinear Welding Distortion Analysis of Stiffened Panels

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Accurate prediction of welding-induced deformation is essential for dimensional control in large-scale ship block construction. In production design, transverse shrinkage directly governs the cutting allowance and shrinkage margin among various ...

Transverse Cracking of Concrete Base Plate in CRTS III Ballastless Track Structure: Effects of Environmental Boundary Conditions

Applied Sciences, 2021
The cast-in-place concrete base plate is a main member of the China Railway Track System (CRTS) III ballastless track structure that is prone to generating early transverse cracking. Such cracks can dramatically affect the performance and service life of

Mucocutaneous Disease Activity and Damage Accrual in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Analyses From the Asia‐Pacific Lupus Collaboration Longitudinal Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This research article aims to describe the prevalence, associations, and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) impact of mucocutaneous features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Data from the Asia‐Pacific Lupus Collaboration cohort were analyzed (2013–2021).

Effects of design parameters on deck cracking from restrained concrete shrinkage in jointless bridges [PDF]

, 2012
Bridges have traditionally relied on a system of expansion joints, roller supports, and other structural releases to accommodate expansion and contraction movements due to temperature, creep, and shrinkage loading.
