Catalyst-Driven Degradation and Failure Analysis of Intergranular Cracking in 316H Studded Pipes under Refinery Heat Recovery Conditions
Abstract: A failure analysis investigation was carried out on a high-temperature studded pipe used in a convection module for heat recovery in an oil and gas refinery application after leakage was detected during pre-commissioning hydrotesting. The investigated pipe was manufactured from AISI 316H austenitic stainless steel, and carbon steel studs had been joined to its outer surface by high-frequency resistance welding. Two leaks were reported in the pipe under investigation, and …

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease: Expanding Therapeutic Horizons beyond Glycemic Control
Abstract: Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are closely related clinical diseases that significantly increase morbidity and death worldwide. The co-occurrence of both conditions is frequently referred to as the "cardio-renal syndrome," in which the failure of one organ hastens the decline of the other. The original purpose of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors was to treat type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) by reducing blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, new data …

Study on the Response of Strengthening Strategies for Masonry-infilled Open Ground Storey Framed Building
Abstract: The strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infill wall and with open ground storey is a very timely and significant topic because of the poor performance against seismic action. The absence of infill walls in the ground storey makes the ground storey less stiff and weaker than the all upper storys which results in a poor performance against lateral loads. Soft storey mechanism prevails in these cases …

Hybrid Graceful QoS Degradation in Distributed Operating Systems
Abstract: Maintaining Quality of Service (QoS) in distributed operating systems is a critical challenge, especially in dynamic and resource-constrained environments. Traditional QoS mechanisms often fail to adapt effectively to unforeseen failures or load spikes, leading to abrupt service disruptions. This study reviews the concept of hybrid graceful QoS degradation, a paradigm that combines multiple strategies to ensure continuous, albeit potentially reduced, service availability. By intelligently integrating techniques like resource reservation, priority-based …
