Failures in mining machinery can abruptly halt mineral production and operations, emphasizing the indispensable role of humans in maintenance and repair operations. Addressing human errors is crucial for ensuring a safe and reliable system, particularly during maintenance activities where accidents frequently occur. This paper focuses on evaluating Human Reliability (HR) to enhance activity implementation effectiveness. Given the challenge of limited and uncertain data on human errors, this study aims to estimate the probability of human errors using Bayesian networks (BN) under uncertain parameters. Applying this approach to assess HR in the maintenance and repair operations of mining trucks at Golgohar Iron Ore Mine in Iran, the study identifies critical factors influencing error occurrence in a fuzzy environment. The results highlight key factors impacting human error and offer insights into estimating HR with minimal human intervention.

Catechol redox maintenance in mussel adhesion.

Nat Rev Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA.

Catechol-functionalized proteins in mussel holdfasts are essential for underwater adhesion and cohesion and have inspired countless synthetic polymeric materials and devices. However, as catechols are prone to oxidation, long-term performance and stability of these inventions awaits effective antioxidation strategies. In mussels, catechol-mediated interactions are stabilized by 'built-in' homeostatic redox reservoirs that restore catechols oxidized to quinones.

Aim: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has emerged as a global public health concern. People with the most advanced stage of CKD require renal replacement therapies, either dialysis (the focus of this study) or a kidney transplant. Research on CKD has primarily focused on its clinical, epidemiological, and public health aspects.

Introduction: Bony and ligamentous ankle injuries are some of the most commonly treated injuries by orthopedic surgeons. Open ligamentous ankle injuries without an associated fracture or dislocation are rare and to our knowledge have only sparsely been described in the literature. We present a case and successful treatment of an open lateral ankle injury with capsular rupture and ligamentous damage without fracture or dislocation in a 22-year-old female.

Uncontrollable cancer cell growth is characterized by the maintenance of cellular homeostasis through the continuous accumulation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. This review delineates the roles of two complementary and synergistic degradation systems, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and the autophagy-lysosome system, in the degradation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles for intracellular recycling. We emphasize the interconnected decision-making processes of degradation systems in maintaining cellular homeostasis, such as the biophysical state of substrates, receptor oligomerization potentials (e.
