This PhD thesis focuses on the development of hybrid methods for degradation prognostics in industrial systems. The main application concerns the clogging of steam generators (SGs) in pressurized water reactors operated by Électricité de France (EDF…
Abstract Introduction: Frailty reflects age-related decline across multiple physiological systems, reducing resilience and increasing risks of falls, hospitalization, disability, and mortality. Scalable approaches are needed to identify pre-frailty…
Abstract Introduction: Exposure to adverse life experiences (ALEs) renders individuals vulnerable to the emergence of pain, depression, and anxiety. It remains unclear to what extent these symptom categories share common ALEs, especially in cases of…

Multi-scale and multi-physics processes make understanding the mechanical impact of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) on structure challenging. This study investigates ASR's impact on a small-scale mortar foundation subjected to reinforcement pull-out. A…

Abstract In a recent paper, Ghoroubi et al. (Am J Epidemiol 2025 Jan 8;194(1):302-310) used the indirect attributable fraction (AF) method to provide estimates of fractions of all-cause mortality attributable to work-related factors. This commentary…

L^p spaces of mappings taking values in arbitrary metric spaces, which we call nonlinear Lebesgue spaces, play an important role in several fields of mathematics. For instance, membership in these spaces is typically required for transport maps in…
Background According to WHO and UNICEF, Africa has the lowest coverage (18%) of timely (within the first 24 h) hepatitis B birth dose (HepB-BD) vaccination worldwide. To eliminate hepatitis B by 2030, 90% vaccination coverage is required…
Postural balance in older adults is a key research focus, as impaired balance significantly increases fall risk, potentially leading to severe injury or mortality. Given age-related sensory decline, force-platform posturography assessing sensory…

The standard approach to representation learning on attributed graphs---i.e., simultaneously reconstructing node attributes and graph structure---is geometrically flawed, as it merges two potentially incompatible metric spaces. This forces a…

As acquiring reliable ground-truth labels is usually costly, or infeasible, crowdsourcing and aggregation of noisy human annotations is the typical resort. Aggregating subjective labels, though, may amplify individual biases, particularly regarding…
