Investigating failures

This study aims to investigate the clinical and subclinical characteristics of heart failure patients according to the VNHA 2022 guidelines and to assess the relationship and correlation of serum NT-proBNP levels with the severity of heart failure according to NYHA classification, degree of anemia, left ventricular ejection fraction, Sokolow index, and left ventricular mass index.

This paper investigates flexural behavior and analytical approach for predicting the load and deflection at critical performance points of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. A finite element model is developed to simulate the interaction between the RC beam and the CFRP sheets, capturing key aspects such as failure modes, ultimate load, and mechanical behavior across the three phases of failure.

Global competition has intensified geographic repositioning of supply chain activities with implications for the economic prosperity of specific regions and geographies affected by such shifts. This study examines the relationship between the level of corruption and economic growth using the supply chain and ARDL bounds test method. The data used are GDP, the level of corruption, foreign direct investment, government spending and inflation from 2000-2018. The results of the study indicate a negative and significant impact on the level of corruption on economic growth in the long run.

This thesis investigates the infant formula export trade from Australia to China. The primary aim is to evaluate the main factors for success and failure among firms that export this dairy product. The research question to be answered is ‘What are the factors for success at the organisational level for exporting Australian Infant formula to China? This thesis argues that specific factors are required to successfully export Australian infant formula to China.

The failure of inflation targeting regimes in several emerging economies has received renewed interest among academics and policymakers alike. This ineffectiveness can be attributed to worsening fiscal positions in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, which sheds light on the importance of coordinating fiscal policy and monetary policy to achieve price stability. This thesis, therefore, aims to investigate the effects of fiscal policy on the different transmission channels of monetary policy, which ultimately results in high inflation.

The aim of this project was to design, fabricate and characterise multifunctional structural composites incorporating phase change materials for thermal management applications. The specific research objectives to achieve this goal were formulated as follows: Investigate effective methods to integrate microencapsulated PCMs into glass fibrereinforced epoxy composites; Evaluate the mechanical properties of micro-PCMs enhanced FRP composites and investigate associated failure mechanisms; Study the thermal management effectiveness of micro-PCMs enhanced FRP composites.

Post ischaemic cell calcium invasion has been described as one of the main causes of graft failure. Protective effects of calcium antagonists have been investigated but are not con-vincing and their mechanisms of action remain unclear. In this work we tested the protective effect of a new calcium inhibitor described to block a calcium current insensitive to all known calcium blockers. Specific mapacalcine receptors were first characterized on rat hepatocytesmembranes using the 125 I-labeledmapacalcine....

Obesity is a known risk factor for induction of myocardial infarction, but, paradoxically, may also confer a protective effect against subsequent remodeling leading to heart failure. In this study, we investigated the effect of leptin, the product of the obese (ob) gene, on cardiomyocyte apoptosis, a well-characterized component of cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction.

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) is currently the most effective therapeutic strategy for patients with Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disease. However, ERT has limitations of a short half-life, requirement for frequent administration, and limited efficacy for patients with renal failure. Therefore, we investigated the efficacy of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector-mediated gene therapy for a Fabry disease mouse model and compared it with that of ERT.
