Development of the small punch test platform to evaluate the embrittlement of power plant materials
… materials in order to aid in these life assessments. The structural integrity assessments utilise material toughness properties as determined through fracture toughness testing, which requires a significant quantity of material, and is therefore cumbersome and expensive. Consequently, …

Toward an Episodic Process of Corruption: An analysis of the State Integrity Risk Assessment Tool
… to corruption. The Center for Public Integrity in Washington, DC, formulated a risk assessment scale and then applied it to all 50 states. This dissertation examines that scale’s conceptual, methodological, and statistical aspects and suggests ways to improve it. Method: The indicators …

Study on structural integrity of welded components using the LMM
… give paramount importance to structural integrity assessments due to the obvious catastrophic effect an unfortunate failure might cause. The presence of welds increases the susceptibility of premature failure within the structures. Hence identifying the structural response of welded …

Local effects of Linoorbitides and enterolactone On intestinal epithelial functions
… first assessed LOBs and ENL effects on barrier integrity (a pathological hallmark of IBD) in vitro using a monoculture transwell system, and the potential mechanisms involved in maintenance of the barrier. Next, we examined their effect in a coculture system that more closely simulates the …

Depletion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid causes male infertility by disrupting both secretory granule biogenesis and adherens junction assembly in testis
… than DHA in restoring germ cell adhesion integrity. Assessments of cell-cell contacts which form transiently to adhere maturing germ cells to neighboring nurse cells (Sertoli cells), revealed a mislocalization of essential adhesion molecules nectin-2 and nectin-3 in animals deficient in …
