Background Detection of vulnerable coronary plaque can predict future myocardial infarctions. We have developed a novel, non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance sequence (iT2prep-BOOST), enabli (...)

How do public policy responses to exogenous shocks shape business expectations? We examine this question in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the impact of two broad types of policy re (...)

Seismic resilience is essential for maintaining the functionality and safety of transportation infrastructure, especially in areas prone to subduction earthquakes. Simply supported bridges, which cons (...)

Transportation is key to understanding urban dynamics, with public transport bus systems shaping mobility patterns, accessibility, and activity, especially in developing countries where this mode acco (...)

Surface tension arising in the air-liquid interface of alveoli is a fundamental mechanism lung physiology that explains lung recoil and hysteresis during breathing. However, pulmonary surface tension (...)

Chalcopyrite has notoriously slow dissolution kinetics in oxidative leaching media. Pre-conditioning using electro-reduction is a potential alternative, aimed at the surface reduction of the chalcopyr (...)

Light-frame timber buildings (LFTBs) are widely used in seismic regions due to their ease of assembly and the availability of pre-qualified structural elements. However, LFTBs are susceptible to colla (...)

Standardized information on the processes and requirements for information exchanges is critical to ensure accurate cost estimations. However, traditional methods based on 2D information lack the stan (...)

As climate change continues to manifest its effects globally, the built environment faces escalating challenges in maintaining functionality and resilience against extreme weather events. This study a (...)

BackgroundClinical decision-making in healthcare often relies on unstructured text data, which can be challenging to analyze using traditional methods. Natural Language Processing (NLP) has emerged as (...)

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the mechanical and tribological behavior of 70Mn steel with different laser re-melted textured patterns.Design/methodology/approachLaser surface re-melting (LSR) (...)

We study the classic single-choice prophet inequality problem through a resource augmentation lens. Our goal is to bound the (1- E)-competition complexity of different types of online algorithms. This (...)

We consider an online multi-weighted generalization of several classic online optimization problems called the online combinatorial assignment problem. We are given an independence system over a groun (...)

Surface texturing has been proven to be an effective method for improving the lubrication characteristics and tribological behavior of tribo-pairs under various operating conditions. Inspired by the u (...)

The increasing environmental concerns associated with conventional lubricants have led to a growing interest in sustainable alternatives, particularly biogenic grease. This study introduces a novel ap (...)

For equality-constrained linear mixed-integer programs (MIP) defined by rational data, it is known that the subadditive dual is a strong dual and that there exists an optimal solution of a particular (...)

Modern geared wind turbines rely on the adequate performance of their lubricant to ensure optimum operation of their main gearboxes. Potential oil ageing mechanisms, such as oxidation or additive depl (...)

Oceanic ridges often collocate with seismic barriers and episodic aseismic slip. However, how subducted seafloor topography drives interactions between slow and fast slip remains unclear. Here, using (...)

In the online 2-bounded auction problem, we have a collection of items represented as nodes in a graph and bundles of size two represented by edges. Agents are presented sequentially, each with a rand (...)

Studying the temporal and spatial evolution as well as the intensity of UHI (urban heat island) is key to understanding the effects of climate change. This is the first study in the City of Santiago, (...)
