Age Differences in Aortic Stenosis by Tomoyo Hamana, Teruo Sekimoto, Aloke V. Finn, Renu Virmani

“…The normal aortic valve has a trilaminar structure comprising the fibrosa, spongiosa, and ventricularis, which work together to maintain its function. In calcific AS, the disease begins with early calcification starting in high mechanical stress areas of the valve and progresses slowly over decades, eventually leading to extensive calcification resulting in impaired valve function. …”

Monitoring of torrent control structures: An integrated approach from first‐level inspections to maintenance strategies by Alessio Cislaghi, Emanuele Morlotti, Sara Cucchiaro, Paola Morando, Gian Battista Bischetti

“…The results of the first‐level inspections consist of a dataset encompassing missing details (e.g., width, length, height, construction age, materials used), present condition of structures and functionality. The further step is to predict the vulnerability of the inspected torrent control structures; so, the Markov chain model is implemented for forecasting their service life, also in function of different maintenance strategies. …”
