Failure-Analysis Based Redesign of Furnace Conveyor System Components: A Case Study
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Any manufacturing equipment designed from scratch requires a detailed follow-up of the performance for the first units placed in service during the production ramp-up, so that lessons learned are immediately implemented ...
Genetics of ancestry-specific risk for relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Springer Nature, 2017-01-18)
The causes of individual relapses in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remain incompletely understood. We evaluated the contribution of germline genetic factors to relapse in 2225 children treated on Children's ...
