Vonoprazan pharmacokinetics and effects on gastric pH following administration to fed and fasted horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Current treatment options for equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS), such as omeprazole—a proton pump inhibitor (PPI)—have notable limitations, including the need for administration on an empty stomach. Potassium‐competitive acid blockers (P‐CABs), such as vonoprazan, are a newer class of acid suppressants that offer several ...

Computational Investigation on the Combined Effect of Applied Strain and Pore Configuration on Strain Concentrators in Additively Manufactured Metals

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal additive manufacturing (AM) provides a pathway for creating highly optimized components that would be difficult to produce using traditional manufacturing methods. However, regardless of printing parameters or postprocessing, porosity remains a prevalent challenge in AM components because strain concentrates in the vicinity of the pore ...

The Culture Clash of AI Adoption in Lean Quality Management. Resolving the Tensions at Siemens Electronics Works Amberg

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) brings great potential for manufacturers, but clashes with the established culture due to the unexplainable and opaque nature of the solutions it provides. Having little experience in AI and machine learning (ML), most manufacturing leaders experience barriers implementing AI.
