Before recalling the device amid rising failure rates in 2010, Johnson & Johnson insisted it was safe and maintained that its internal studies refuted complaints by surgeons and regulators abroad that the device was flawed.
The model can determine the temperature rise, tensile failure stress and failure mechanism of the sandwich composite in fire.
Re "In Looser Tone, a Call to Take Risks and Be Engaged" (news article, June 16): Much of the graduation speech advice cited in the article assumes that by earnest effort and good will one can rise above failure, learn from it and thus achieve success.
The ageing treatment reduces significantly the performances of the joint giving rise premature failure mechanisms induced by localized corrosion phenomena.
As a forced high-power pulse interference, DME signal will decrease SINR (signal-to-interference and noise ratio) of GPS L5 signal and even give rise to failure of acquisition and tracking.
The entry of moisture into photovoltaic (PV) modules causes degradation which leads to rise in failure rates (Gwandu and Creasey 1995; Cher Ming Tan, Boon Khai Eric Chen and Kok Peng Toh 2010; Kempe 2006), particularly in hot and humid climatic condition (Kempe 2006).
Among joint configurations where the lower sheet is 1.5 mm thick, the presence of (circular or radial) cracks on the bottom of the rivet, generated during the manufacturing procedure, gives rise to failure mechanisms such as shear out or net tension (Calabrese et al. 2013; Li et al. 2012; Han et al. 2007).
The main symptoms were stiffness, inability to rise, and failure to suckle in newborns.
I could lose my naive belief that I could rise above failure and that hard work always paid off.
We decided not to wait for the PSA to rise (indicating failure), but to have pre-emptive radiotherapy to the pelvic and prostate bed area three months after surgery.
