Physical unclonable function based solutions to unification of user, device and data authentication by Zheng, Yue

“…The non-repudiation assumption of these conventional techniques is being challenged by emerging artificial-intelligent assisted and malware-based attacks on independently chained weak links (factors), and their limited extension to IoT scenarios, where the sheer number of inexpensive and often insufficiently protected endpoints prevent application of standard, secret-key based techniques. …”

Instrumentation optimisation for unicompartmental knee replacement by Arthur, LW

“…To minimise the risk of bearing fracture in the very long-term, surgeons should position the bearing close to the tibial wall, neutrally align the femoral component, and avoid using the thinnest Size 3 bearings in young patients.…”

Study on structural robustness to resist progressive collapse of vertical irregularly base-isolated structures by Bao, Chao, Ma, Xiaotong, Lv, Dahai, Wu, Qiaozhi, Doh, Shu Ing, Chin, Siew Choo, Shu, Hongbo, Nor Hayati, Abdul Hamid

“…It is suggested that reasonable protection measures should be set for the isolation bearing with greater vulnerability coefficient which may suffer from extreme accidents and the potential risk of isolation bearing with greater component importance coefficient is eliminated or reduced.…”
