This paper tries to integrate sequential imperfect maintenance policy into condition-based
predictive maintenance (CBPM). A reliability-centered predictive maintenance policy is …

BACKGROUND Sensitive and specific biomarkers for the early detection of esophageal
squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are urgently needed to reduce the high morbidity and …

Three-dimension (3D) porous reduced graphene oxide (RGO) scaffold has attracted increasing
attention in bone tissue engineering due to its favorable osteoinductivity. In this paper, a …

It is understood that for a multi-unit series system, whenever one of the units stops to perform
a preventive maintenance (PM) action, the whole series system must be stopped. At that …

The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has prioritized the
development of small-animal models for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-…

Background Streptococcus suis serotype 2 ( S. suis 2, SS2) is a major zoonotic pathogen
that causes only sporadic cases of meningitis and sepsis in humans. Most if not all cases of …

Microchannel networks within engineered 3D scaffold can allow nutrient exchange and
rapid blood vessels formation. However, fabrication of a bone microenvironment‐mimicking …

The favorable microstructure and bioactivity of tissue-engineered bone scaffolds are closely
associated with the regenerative efficacy of bone defects. For the treatment of large bone …

The involvement of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer and their potential as biomarkers
of diagnosis and prognosis are becoming increasingly appreciated; however, little is …

Natural polymeric hydrogel featuring multifunctional properties is more attractive as wound
dressing. Herein, Tannic acid (TA)-reinforced methacrylated chitosan (CSMA)/methacrylated …
