GEOMETRIC ROBUSTNESS AND DYNAMIC RESPONSE MANAGEMENT BY STRUCTURAL TOPOMETRY OPTIMISATION TO REDUCE THE RISK FOR SQUEAK AND RATTLE

Geometric robustness and dynamic response management by structural topometry optimisation to reduce the risk for squeak and rattle

Historically, squeak and rattle (S&R) sounds have been among the top quality problems and a major contributor to the warranty costs in passenger cars.Geometric variation is among the main causes of S&R.Though, geometric variation analysis and robust design techniques have been passively involved in the open-loop design activities in the predesign-f

Non-oncogenic Acute Viral Infections Disrupt Anti-cancer Responses and Lead to Accelerated Cancer-Specific Host Death

In light of increased cancer prevalence and cancer-specific deaths in patients with infections, we investigated whether infections alter anti-tumor immune responses.We report that acute influenza infection of the lung promotes distal melanoma growth in the dermis and leads to accelerated cancer-specific host death.Furthermore, we show that during i
