Odronextamab monotherapy led to complete responses in all patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma evaluable for efficacy, per initial results from the safety lead-in portion of the confirmatory Phase 3 OLYMPIA-1 trial Primary analysis from an expansion cohort of the ELM-1 trial highlighted continued efficacy and durability in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients whose disease had progressed after CAR-T therapy First results from the ELM-2 trial in marginal zone lymphoma demonstrated high complete response rate in patients with relapsed/refractory disease TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced new and updated data for odronextamab were presented at the 66 th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, CA. The presentations, including two orals, showcase the depth and breadth of the odronextamab clinical development program, with twelve abstracts spanning several B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) subtypes across earlier lines of treatment. OLYMPIA-1 Part 1 Results Showcased Compelling Potential in Previously Untreated Follicular Lymphoma (FL) The ongoing Phase 3 OLYMPIA-1 confirmatory trial consists of a non-randomized safety run-in (Part 1) followed by a randomized efficacy portion (Part 2) evaluating odronextamab monotherapy versus rituximab plus standard-of-care chemotherapies. In Part 1 (N=13), odronextamab led to complete responses (CR) in all 12 patients evaluable for efficacy at week 12. Historical clinical trial data indicate that the standard-of-care regimen R-Chemo was associated with an objective response rate (ORR) of 89% and 67% CR rate. 1 Among the 13 patients evaluable for safety, none experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were cytokine release syndrome (CRS; 62%), diarrhea (46%) and rash (39%). All cases of CRS were Grade 1. Infections occurred in 39% of patients, and 15% experienced a Grade 3 infection. Grade ≥3 TEAEs occurred in 46% of patients, which included one patient who discontinued early due to elevated liver enzymes. There were no reports of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) or immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). “The OLYMPIA-1 Phase 3 trial is designed to explore a novel, chemotherapy-free, fixed duration treatment that is being studied in the outpatient setting in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma,” said Elizabeth Brém, Associate Clinical Professor, Division of Hematology/Oncology at UC Irvine. “These compelling, initial data show the paradigm-changing potential of odronextamab in previously untreated patients and reinforce the remarkable complete response rates odronextamab demonstrated in late-line follicular lymphoma. We look forward to seeing the results of the Part 2 portion, which offers the first head-to-head evaluation of odronextamab monotherapy compared to standard-of-care chemo-immunotherapies.” Durable Responses Shown in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) that has Progressed After CAR-T Therapy The primary analysis from an expansion cohort of the ELM-1 trial, which evaluated patients with DLBCL who progressed after CAR-T therapy, were presented in an oral session.

Manchester United slipped to 14th in the Premier League table with a 2-0 loss away against Wolves on Boxing Day. Ruben Amorim's men were beaten by a Matheus Cunha corner that floated all the way over Andre Onana's head and straight into the back of the net before Hwang Hee-chan added a second. Supporters will have felt disappointed at captain Bruno Fernandes for being shown a second yellow card shortly after the half-time interval and being given his marching orders. However, there was one other player who has received heavy criticism online after the Wolves defeat. Ruben Amorim's Manchester United succumbed to another defeat - and one player has been called out for not suiting the Portuguese's system. Rasmus Hojlund is the man that caught the attention of Red Devils supporters - for all the wrong reasons. The Denmark international struggled to get involved in the game, and was quick to show his frustration every time a teammate failed to pick him out with a pass. The 21-year-old could be seen throwing his arms up in the air on several occasions. In one situation, Hojlund was spotted jumping up in anger when Amad Diallo failed to play the ball to him on the edge of the Wolves penalty area. Watch the clip below: Man United Fans React to Hojlund's Complaints During the encounter at Molineux Stadium, United fans were quick to take to social media to criticise Hojlund's actions towards his teammates. One supporter was adamant the Dane should be looking at his own performances before worrying about others: "Although Mainoo’s passing has been off, this complaining from Hojlund when he's arguably our worst player week in week out, is becoming very annoying. You aren’t him." Others were quick to point out the 'annoying' habit, while also pointing out the £85,000-per-week man's sloppiness in possession himself. One stated: "I hate the way Hojlund moans at his teammates for a bad pass," while another added: "Cry about not getting the ball, get the ball and gift it away after about 2 seconds. Rasmus Hojlund everyone." Another baffled fan was left confused at Hojlund's insistance to receive the ball when he was giving it away cheaply whenever he did get it: "Hojlund constantly complains at others and then when he gets the ball, loses it straight away?" GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Rasmus Hojlund only had 14 touches of the ball in Manchester United's defeat against Wolves. Amorim is yet to figure out his best team and has constantly rotated between Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee since his arrival. The former is going through a tough spell and the latter is one of the most disappointing Premier League signings of the season . Not ideal options for a manager looking to inject more goals into a misfiring side. Victor Osimhen’s situation remains quiet ahead of the January transfer window.

Correct as of 26-12-24.New Delhi: Delhi High Court halted the counting of votes in the student union elections at Delhi University and delayed the declaration of results till the walls and public properties defaced by election posters and graffiti were restored. While this intervention led to the sprucing up of campus property, the law, in actuality, is hardly a deterrent to the widespread pasting of posters and banners on public property and spaces across the city. When TOI took a round of the city, it saw walls littered by advertisements of all sizes and hues, ranging from detective services and promises of 100% cancer treatment to job recruitment offers and, of course, those with political messages. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who went where and for how much IPL 2025: Complete list of players of each franchise Not surprisingly, police data shows a 106% increase in cases registered for defacement of public property this year from 2023. Till Oct 31, police filed 2,450 cases for the offence against 1,187 in the same period last year, 798 I 2022 and 87 three years ago. This year, the cops took in 2,256 violators when only 1,017 had been nabbed last year, 392 in 2022 and 60 in 2021. The mass pasting of posters and bills on public property is likely to blemish the city's look with assembly elections slated just months away. Already, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg is plastered with posters or paintings put up by political parties announcing rallies. And while police claimed their investigators questioned the poster pasters, printing press and the beneficiaries of the content on posters, the impunity with which public properties are defaced indicates laxity in the enforcement of the Prevention of Defacement of Property Act. Hawker Mohammad Yasin Ansari said such acts tarnished the city's aesthetics. "But nobody objects to the pasting because doing so culminates in arguments and scuffles," he said. Lawyer Sube Singh pointed out how the posters were layered on top of each other. "If someone posts something, others paste theirs above it and more, in turn, place theirs on top of that, creating an overall unsightly scene," he said. On the flyover connecting Kashmere Gate to northeast Delhi, there are a plethora of posters of political parties. The flyover near Andrews Ganj in south Delhi is pockmarked by paper. In Saket, political party posters take up all the wall space along Birla Vidya Niketan Marg. Ajay Pratap, a resident of Chirag Delhi, said that these posters increase during elections. Near Tis Hazari Courts, the irony of signs warning against pasting of posters being merrily flouted couldn't be missed. Madan Kumar, 47, a Bhajanpura resident who was at the court, shrugged and said as soon as the authorities removed the posters and repainted the walls, new ones appeared routinely. At a flyover near Monastery Market, the beautiful graffiti inscribed for the G20 Summit last year has been marred by posters. Someone has scribbled six-seven lines in Hindi at one spot. The law prescribes a prison term of up to six months and a fine of up to Rs 1,000 or both for defacing public property by "writing or marking with ink, chalk, paint, or any other material, except for the purpose of indicating the memo and address of the owner or occupier of such property". A senior police officer said cases were registered based on complaints or when the cops take cognisance of the offence themselves. "We send notices and violators are made to join the investigation, or are bound down, or apprehended," the officer added. The cops revealed that most beneficiaries of posters plead they weren't directly involved in defacing public property.
The story so far: Britain’s House of Commons on November 29 voted by a majority to legalise assisted dying — a less controversial synonym for assisted suicide in England and Wales. The step signals a seismic social shift on an emotive issue. Advocates regard the new Bill as a humane and compassionate intervention that should — for those who want to exercise the option — bring closure to a painful, debilitating and degrading dependence on the immediate family. Opponents, who include the head of the Church of England, are apprehensive that the severely disabled and vulnerable patients may feel forced to end their lives to relieve the burden on relatives. “It should never become easier to seek help to die than to live,” they say. The debate on the Bill’s merits has also brought to the fore concerns that the delivery of hospice and palliative care services could be undermined. Portrayed sometimes as a “Give us our last rights” campaign, about 75% of the public has backed the liberalisation of assisted dying, as per a U.K. National Centre for Social Research survey. How controversial is the move? The U.K. courts have time and again maintained that given the sensitive ethical, philosophical, and social questions involved, the subject of assisted dying was not a matter on which the judiciary could pronounce a decision based on concrete evidence. Successive British governments have similarly maintained that any change to existing law was for parliament to consider and a matter of their conscience for individual MPs and that the government would officially adopt a neutral stance. The Terminally Ill Adults (end of life) legislation was thus brought forward as a private member Bill by the Labour MP Kim Leadbeater. Among its supporters were Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the Home Secretary, the chancellor of the exchequer, and the Opposition leader Rishi Sunak. Six Cabinet Ministers opposed the proposal. What is the current law in this area? Suicide, (self-inflicted death), or attempted suicide are not in themselves criminal offences in England and Wales. Conversely, an act that encourages or assists a person to commit suicide or attempted suicide is a criminal offence that carries a 14-year prison sentence under the 1961 Assistive Suicide Act. What is the proposed law? The Bill before parliament seeks to give terminally ill, mentally competent adults who have less than six months to live — which assumes that a reliable method exists of forecasting survival — the option to end their life. Under one stipulation, any such request must be authorised by two doctors and a High Court judge. What were the petitioners’ prayers? Since 2001, severely disabled applicants have petitioned the U.K. courts that the 1961 law, as well as the prosecution’s refusal to allow them to end their lives under medical assistance, was incompatible with their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). At issue was the right to life (Article 2), which the petitioners viewed as entailing the right to self-determination and an entitlement to end life with assistance. They have also argued that the denial of the option to die with assistance — insofar as it failed to alleviate suffering — amounted to cruel and degrading treatment prescribed under Article 3. It moreover constituted an infringement of the right to privacy and freedom of conscience enshrined in Articles 8 and 9. Finally, as persons with disabilities who needed assistance to end their lives, the denial of permission by the prosecution amounted to discrimination, in breach of Article 14 of the ECHR. What did the court rule? The U.K. House of Lords in 2002 unanimously overruled these contentions. But, in a 2014 Supreme Court decision, the majority opined that although the 1961 law was incompatible with the rights of two incurably suffering but not terminally ill petitioners, it was for parliament to modify the law. In 2015, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the U.K. Supreme Court was under no obligation to examine the merits of a challenge to primary legislation and that Britain’s government was open to concluding that this was a matter for parliament to arrive at a suitable determination. It is thus crystal clear that only new legislation can alter the status quo in this matter. What is the status outside? The crown dependencies of Jersey and the Isle of Man are close to enacting legislation to allow assisted dying for the terminally ill in the next two years. Scotland, where a separate bill is under the active consideration of political parties, is deliberating whether the subject matter falls within the realm of competence of Holyrood, the Scottish devolved parliament. Following Switzerland, the first country which in 1942 legalised assisted dying, unless driven by selfish motives, societies seem to see wisdom on compassionate grounds to allow people to end their lives. The 1997 Death with Dignity Act in the state of Oregon, which allows mentally sound adults with terminal illness and six months to live, to end their lives through self-administered drugs, has broadly set the tone for legislation within the U.S., most of Australia and New Zealand. Canada’s 2016 Medical Assistance in Dying law may be availed even by those whose condition is not terminal, if it is grievous or irremediable. The relevant 2002 law in the Netherlands grants immunity from punishment for doctors for euthanasia under strict conditions. Belgium’s 2002 act also includes psychiatric illnesses and since 2014 has been extended to minors with parental consent. Spain and Germany have enacted laws but are at various stages of enforcement. Legislation is still pending in France and Ireland. What is the position in India? In Common Cause vs. Union of India (2018), the Supreme Court affirmed that the “right to die with dignity” is integral to the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution. The court also legalised “passive euthanasia,” which involves the withdrawal of life support from terminally ill patients or those in a permanent vegetative state. This allows individuals to die a natural death in the absence of medical interventions. The top court also issued comprehensive guidelines to facilitate passive euthanasia. For instance, if a patient leaves behind a living will, it must be executed in the presence of two witnesses and attested by a Judicial Magistrate. In 2019, the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine filed an application seeking modification of these guidelines, arguing that they were onerous and impractical. Accordingly, a five-judge Constitution Bench in 2023 simplified the process by imposing strict timelines at each stage and limiting the role of the Judicial Magistrate. In September, the Health Ministry released draft guidelines on withdrawing medical support for terminally ill patients, addressing a regulatory gap that had left healthcare professionals in the lurch. These specify that doctors must refrain from initiating life-support measures when they offer no benefit to the patient and are likely to cause suffering and a loss of dignity.

Some tech industry leaders are pushing the incoming Trump administration to increase visas for highly skilled workers from other nations.

GOP majorities in Congress will try to make that happen The heart of the argument is, for America to remain competitive, the country needs to expand the number of skilled visas it gives out. The previous Trump administration did not increase the skilled visa program, instead clamping down on visas for students and educated workers, increasing denial rates. Not everyone in corporate America thinks the skilled worker program is great. Former workers at IT company Cognizant recently won a federal class-action lawsuit that said the company favored Indian employees over Americans from 2013 to 2022. A Bloomberg investigation found Cognizant, and other similar outsourcing companies, mainly used its skilled work visas for lower-level positions. Workers alleged Cognizant preferred Indian workers because they could be paid less and were more willing to accept inconvenient or less-favorable assignments. Question: Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers? Caroline Freund, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy YES: Innovation is our superpower and it relies on people. Sourcing talent from 8 billion people in the world instead of 330 million here makes sense. Nearly half our Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Growing them also relies on expanding our skilled workforce. The cap on skilled-worker visas has hardly changed since the computer age started. With AI on the horizon, attracting and building talent is more important than ever. Kelly Cunningham, San Diego Institute for Economic Research YES: After years of openly allowing millions of undocumented entrants into the country, why is there controversy over legally increasing somewhat the number having desirable skills? Undocumented immigration significantly impacts lower skill level jobs and wages competing with domestic workers at every skill level. Why should special cases be made against those having higher skills? Could they just not walk across the border anyway, why make it more inconvenient to those with desirable skills? James Hamilton, UC San Diego YES: Knowledge and technology are key drivers of the U.S. economy. Students come from all over the world to learn at U.S. universities, and their spending contributed $50 billion to U.S. exports last year. Technological advantage is what keeps us ahead of the rest of the world. Highly skilled immigrants contribute much more in taxes than they receive in public benefits. The skills immigrants bring to America can make us all better off. Norm Miller, University of San Diego YES: According to Forbes, the majority of billion-dollar startups were founded by foreigners. I’ve interviewed dozens of data analysts and programmers from Berkeley, UCSD, USD and a few other schools and 75% of them are foreign. There simply are not enough American graduates to fill the AI and data mining related jobs now exploding in the U.S. If we wish to remain a competitive economy, we need highly skilled and bright immigrants to come here and stay. David Ely, San Diego State University YES: Being able to employ highly skilled workers from a larger pool of candidates would strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. companies by increasing their capacity to perform research and innovate. This would boost the country’s economic output. Skilled workers from other nations that cannot remain in the U.S. will find jobs working for foreign rivals. The demand for H-1B visas far exceeds the current cap of 85,000, demonstrating a need to modify this program. Phil Blair, Manpower YES: Every country needs skilled workers, at all levels, to grow its economy. We should take advantage of the opportunity these workers provide our employers who need these skills. It should be blended into our immigration policies allowing for both short and long term visas. Gary London, London Moeder Advisors YES: San Diego is a premiere example of how highly skilled workers from around the globe enrich a community and its regional economy. Of course Visa levels need to be increased. But let’s go further. Tie visas and immigration with a provision that those who are admitted and educated at a U.S. university be incentivized, or even required, to be employed in the U.S. in exchange for their admittance. Bob Rauch, R.A. Rauch & Associates NO: While attracting high-skilled immigrants can fill critical gaps in sectors like technology, health care and advanced manufacturing, increasing high-skilled immigration could displace American workers and drive down wages in certain industries. There are already many qualified American workers available for some of these jobs. We should balance the need for specialized skills with the impact on the domestic workforce. I believe we can begin to increase the number of visas after a careful review of abuse. Austin Neudecker, Weave Growth YES: We should expand skilled visas to drive innovation and economic growth. Individuals who perform high-skilled work in labor-restricted industries or graduate from respected colleges with relevant degrees should be prioritized for naturalization. We depend on immigration for GDP growth, tax revenue, research, and so much more. Despite the abhorrent rhetoric and curtailing of visas in the first term, I hope the incoming administration can be persuaded to enact positive changes to a clearly flawed system. Chris Van Gorder, Scripps Health YES: But it should be based upon need, not politics. There are several industries that have or could have skilled workforce shortages, especially if the next administration tightens immigration as promised and expected. Over the years, there have been nursing shortages that have been met partially by trained and skilled nurses from other countries. The physician shortage is expected to get worse in the years to come. So, this visa program may very well be needed. Jamie Moraga, Franklin Revere NO: While skilled immigration could boost our economy and competitiveness, the U.S. should prioritize developing our domestic workforce. Hiring foreign nationals in sensitive industries or government-related work, especially in advanced technology or defense, raises security concerns. A balanced approach could involve targeted increases in non-sensitive high-demand fields coupled with investment in domestic STEM education and training programs. This could address immediate needs while strengthening the long-term STEM capabilities of the American workforce.

All rights reserved.NEW DELHI: Eminent economist and former prime minister of India Manmohan Singh passed away on Thursday at AIIMS Delhi. He was 92. Singh was admitted to AIIMS Delhi on Thursday after experiencing breathing difficulties. It was Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi’s husband Robert Vadra, who first announced the news through his X page. “I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ji. My deepest condolences for his family and loved ones. Thank you for your service to our Nation. You will always be remembered for your Economic revolution and progressive changes, you brought to the country,” Robert Vadra on X. Singh remains India’s only Sikh prime minister and rose to prominence with his path-breaking liberal economic policies floated during his tenure as Finance minister in PV Narasimha Rao’s government. It was his brain that helped India’s economy to trudge the road of liberalization. A representative of the upper House from Assam for five consecutive times, Singh in 2019, changed course and got elected to the Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan. Manmohan Singh was born in Gah, now in Pakistan. His family migrated to India during the partition. He studied at Panjab University and later went to Cambridge to earn a degree in economics. In 2004, when the United Progressive Alliance came to power, the then-chairperson Sonia Gandhi befuddled political analysts after suggesting Singh to be the prime minister of India. His tenure lasted for 10 long years until Narendra Modi dethroned the UPA government in a landslide victory.
Arizona Wildcats (6-1) vs. Vanderbilt Commodores (6-0): The scout, coaching a young teamWLM6RT-160A-3300 3P: The Versatile and Adjustable MCCB for Comprehensive Electrical Protection 12-26-2024 06:02 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire In the realm of electrical safety and protection, the selection of appropriate circuit breakers is paramount. Among the myriad of options available, the WLM6RT Series stands out with its innovative features and robust design. Specifically, the WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P [ https://www.w9-group.com/wlm6-series-thermal-magnetic-type-mccb-400v-690v-160a-3-4-poles-1-product/ ], a thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), offers unparalleled flexibility and protection for electrical systems operating within the 400V to 690V range. This article delves into the detailed functionalities, adjustable features, and overall benefits of this versatile MCCB, highlighting its critical role in ensuring electrical safety and efficiency. Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/1205/image_other/2024-11/a-1.png The Core of Electrical Safety: The WLM6RT Series MCCB The WLM6RT Series is a testament to the evolving demands of electrical protection. These MCCBs are engineered to combine advanced protection features with ease of use, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. The WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P, in particular, is designed to cater to systems requiring a rated current of 160A, with the option for either 3-pole or 4-pole configurations. Its rated working voltage of 400V/690V further underscores its versatility, enabling it to be deployed in diverse electrical environments. Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/1205/image_other/2024-11/b.png Adjustable Overload Settings: Tailoring Protection to Specific Needs One of the most notable features of the WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P is its adjustable overload settings. Unlike traditional circuit breakers that offer fixed protection levels, this MCCB [ https://www.w9-group.com/adjustable-mccb/ ] allows for the customization of its overload protection parameters. The overload settings can be adjusted to 0.7ln, 0.8ln, 0.9ln, and 1.0ln, where "ln" refers to the rated current of the breaker, which in this case, is 160A.This adjustability is crucial as it enables the MCCB to provide optimal protection tailored to the specific needs of the electrical system it is safeguarding. For instance, in systems where temporary overloads are common, adjusting the overload setting to a higher threshold can prevent unnecessary tripping, ensuring uninterrupted power supply during normal current fluctuations. Conversely, in systems where precise overload protection is essential, setting the threshold lower can provide enhanced safety measures.The adjustable overload settings also facilitate better harmonization between the MCCB and the connected electrical equipment. By aligning the protection levels with the operational characteristics of the equipment, the risk of damage due to overcurrent events is significantly reduced. This, in turn, extends the lifespan of the equipment and minimizes maintenance costs. Instantaneous Protection with Adjustable Settings: Swift Response to Short-Circuit Faults In addition to its adjustable overload settings, the WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P also offers instantaneous protection with adjustable settings. Short-circuit faults pose a significant threat to electrical systems, as they can lead to severe damage and even fires if not detected and interrupted swiftly. The adjustable instantaneous protection settings of this MCCB address this concern effectively.The instantaneous protection settings can be configured to 7ln, 8ln, 9ln, and 10ln, providing a high degree of customization based on the specific requirements of the electrical system. This flexibility ensures that the MCCB responds rapidly to short-circuit faults, limiting the damage and downtime associated with such events.Moreover, the adjustable instantaneous protection settings help minimize the risk of nuisance tripping. Nuisance tripping occurs when a circuit breaker trips unnecessarily due to transient overcurrents that do not pose a significant threat to the system. By fine-tuning the instantaneous protection settings, the WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P can distinguish between genuine fault conditions and harmless transient events, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted power supply. Combining Thermal and Magnetic Protection for Comprehensive Safety The WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P leverages a combination of thermal and magnetic protection mechanisms to provide comprehensive safety for electrical systems. The thermal protection component monitors the current flowing through the circuit and trips the breaker if the current exceeds the safe limits for a sustained period, preventing overheating and potential fires. The magnetic protection component, on the other hand, responds instantly to high fault currents, such as those caused by short circuits. The adjustable instantaneous protection settings mentioned earlier are part of this magnetic protection mechanism. By combining these two protection methods, the WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P ensures that both slow-burning overloads and sudden short-circuit faults are effectively managed. Ease of Installation and Maintenance Beyond its advanced protection features, the WLM6RT-160A-3300 3P is also designed for ease of installation and maintenance. Its compact design and modular construction facilitate straightforward installation in various electrical panels and switchboards. The adjustable settings can be configured quickly and easily using the built-in adjustment dials, eliminating the need for complex programming or additional equipment. Furthermore, the MCCB's design incorporates clear indication features, such as trip indicators and status lights, which allow for quick and accurate troubleshooting. This reduces downtime and enhances overall system reliability.
