On notch and crack size effects in fatigue, Paris� law and implications for Whler curves by Michele Ciavarella, A. Papangelo

“…Paris� and Whlers coefficients fundamentally depend on these two ratios, which can be also defined sensitivities� of materials to fatigue when cracked and uncracked, respectively: higher sensitivity means stringent need for design for fatigue. A generalized Whler coefficient, k, is found as a function of the intrinsic W�hler coefficient k of the material and the size of the crack or notch. …”

rcprd: An R package to simplify the extraction and processing of Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) data, and create analysis-ready datasets. by Alexander Pate, Rosa Parisi, Evangelos Kontopantelis, Matthew Sperrin

“…Raw CPRD data is provided in thousands of.txt files, making querying this data cumbersome and inefficient. rcprd saves the relevant information into an SQLite database stored on the hard drive which can then be queried efficiently to extract required information about individuals. rcprd follows a four-stage process: 1) Definition of a cohort, 2) Read in medical/prescription data and save into an SQLite database, 3) Query this SQLite database for specific codes and tests to create variables for each individual in the cohort, 4) Combine extracted variables into a dataset ready for statistical analysis. Functions are available to extract common variable types (e.g., history of a condition, or time until an event occurs, relative to an index date), and more general functions for database queries, allowing users to define their own variables for extraction. …”
