Vibration Analysis of a Hand-Held Percussion Tool Coupled with the Hand-Arm System

Exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) arising from hand power tools has long been associated with several disorders of the hand and arm, which are collectively termed as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Owing to high prevalence of HAVS among the operators of the power tools, particularly the percussive tools, the desire to develop low vibration tool designs, has been widely recognized. The design of vibration isolators or assessment of vibration performance of tools necessitates development of dynamic model of the tool coupled with that of the hand-arm system (HAS) to account for energy absorption within the HAS.
This dissertation research is aimed at development of dynamic model of a percussive chipping hammer together with a biomechanical model of the hand-arm system. The model could serve as an essential tool for identifying effective vibration attenuation design features. The dynamic model of the tool is formulated considering identifications of various component contact pairs and the air flows between the primary piston and the striker. A tool tip-workpiece contact model is integrated to the tool model to describe the interactions between the tool and an energy dissipator. A biomechanical model of the hand-arm system is implemented to the tool model to develop a coupled hand-tool system, which could be applied to determine the hand vibration responses as a function of the push force. The properties of different impact pairs are identified from the theory of visco-elastic collision between rigid bodies. The validity of the hand-tool model is examined on the basis of available measured data under selected levels of the hand push force. A simple model of an anti-vibration glove is further introduced to study its effectiveness in limiting the vibration exposure.
The simulation results show that the percussive tool model coupled with the biomechanical hand-arm model can yield reasonably good trends in view of the hand-transmitted vibration. The results suggest that the tool vibration transmitted to the hand is more sensitive to variations in push force and the operating speed. Slight increases in the diameter of the upper chamber orifices and the weight of the tool body, together with lower the striker mass, could yield notable reductions in the magnitudes of vibration transmitted to the hand-arm system. The results further show that the anti-vibration gloves yield very minimal vibration attenuation.

Carnap and the limits of metaphysics

This project’s overall objective is to use state of the art research in the formal theory of knowledge to advance our understanding of the scope and limits of metaphysics. Specifically, the project will argue that the most important threat to the value of metaphysics comes from epistemic arguments given by Carnap, and that responding to these arguments requires drawing on considerations from formal epistemology. 
The master argument that will focus this project draws on Carnap's (1928) epistemic critique of metaphysics:

1. No possible evidence can justify a metaphysical statement.
2. If no possible evidence can justify a metaphysical statement then we can have no justification to believe a metaphysical statement.
Conclusion: We can have no justification to believe a metaphysical statement.

The deliverables will be six papers published in leading journals. The first will argue that critiques of metaphysics based on semantics do not succeed. The second will argue that epistemic criticisms of metaphysics are effective, specifically Carnap's. The third will defend premise 1, arguing that the rationalist renaissance of recent years has done little to undermine the relevant empiricist thesis. The fourth defends premise 2 as applied to the question of ontology (‘what exists?’), arguing that the non-empirical considerations used by objective Bayesians can be applied to metaphysics. The fifth criticizes premise 2 as applied to the question of modality (‘what it necessary?’), arguing that non-empirical considerations cannot help us determine the gap between the necessary and the contingent. The sixth develops the anti-realist theory of modality that follows, arguing that it makes best sense of the core intuitions of both sides of the argument.
These deliverables will expand the ER's core strengths into metaphysics, re-integrate him into Europe and establish him as one of the leading European experts in formal epistemology and the methodology of metaphysics.
3D visualization method on real-time division of radars mutual electromagnetic interference

In order to observe and analyze the space of mutual electromagnetic interference from different aspects and perspectives,this paper took advantage of the characteristics of the boundaries of the isosurface to divide the radars mutual electromagnetic interference space.It measured the degree of the radars mutual electromagnetic interference by energy flux density and interference margin in the warship formation.And it used a progressive grid sampling extremum octree to reconstruct the isosurface quickly.It employed the differential display mode of the isosurface to create a real-time interactive 3D chart with a top view,a front view and a side view,while displaying the simulation results of the radars mutual interference in the warship formation dynamically.This paper simulated 6 ships with 16 single-pulse radars to interfere each other.The result shows this method is feasible and effective.It can be applied to the real-time 3D visual simulation of the electromagnetic environment of the electromagnetic interference in the large scene.It can also be used in the 3D visual simulation of the UAV radar electromagnetic interference research and prevention.
Training interdisciplinary glycoscientists to get a molecular-level grip on glycocodes at the human mucosa–microbiota interface

Sweet Crosstalk is a multidisciplinary European Training Network built to address the challenge of understanding, at a molecular level, how glycans are involved at the human mucosa–microbiota interface, and how this correlates with human well-being. Research into the human microbiome has reshaped the paradigm of our health and disease. In order to advance further, the time has arrived to understand it at a molecular level. Glycans dominate the microbiota-host interface and are thus ideally positioned to modulate these complex interactions.
The research strategy of the Sweet Crosstalk programme focuses on optimal synergy between chemistry and biology. Smart chemistry drives the research to get a molecular-level grip on the role of these glycocodes and their interacting proteins, and advances in biology directs the research. The high quality and credibility of our consortium is ensured by a strong private-public partnership with complementary expertise ranging from chemical synthesis, biochemistry, structural biology to microbiology and cell biology. Our 7 academic groups are all renowned leaders in the glycoscience and microbiome fields, whereas the complementary 4 SMEs are specialized in glycan-based diagnostics and prophylactic therapies. This unique combination of scientific excellence and industry know-how covers the entire process from obtaining fundamental insight to the development of innovative early diagnostics and glycotherapeutics.
Sweet Crosstalk also represents a unique research platform to train 15 outstanding Early Stage Researchers to be the new generation of innovative scientists with expert knowledge and skills in interdisciplinary glycoscience and human microbiome research. Our international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary training programme will equip them with the necessary scientific and transferable skills that will make them highly competitive for both top European research institutions and the healthcare/biotech job market.
Targeting replication stress recovery pathways in oncology

Genomic instability characterizes tumors, which have no clear ‘oncogenic-driver’ mutation, including triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). These patients do not benefit from molecularly targeted treatment and urgently need better treatment options. Increasing evidence points to replication stress as the driver of genomic instability. Since replication stress compromises cell viability, cells have evolved mechanisms to mitigate this threat. 
Recently, I discovered a novel cellular mechanism—mitotic Replication Stress Recovery (RSR)—that acts as an ‘emergency brake’ during mitosis, allowing recovery from high levels of replication stress. This machinery is critical for tumor cell survival, and therefore constitutes a promising target for anti-cancer drug development. However, it is unclear how this mitotic RSR is organized molecularly and how it can be targeted therapeutically.

In this project, I aim to molecularly define and therapeutically target the Mitotic Replication Stress Recovery (RSR) machinery in triple-negative breast cancer cells.

To this end, I will implement a series of complementary innovative strategies. First, I will use mass-spec-based proteomics to molecularly characterize components and wiring of the mitotic RSR machinery. Second, to identify the genetic profiles of cancer subgroups that are sensitive to inactivation of the mitotic RSR, functional genetic screens will be combined with visualization and quantification of replication stress in genomically-defined human cancer samples. Finally, my findings will be translated to the pre-clinical situation by exploring the feasibility of therapeutic inactivation of the RSR machinery in vitro and in vivo in a panel of triple-negative breast cancer models.

In summary, TENSION will provide advanced insight into the composition and wiring of the mitotic RSR machinery and will reveal the potency of targeting this pathway therapeutically for TNBCs and other hard-to-treat, genomically instable cancers.
Study on Geological Comparison of Site Schemes for Nujiang Grand Bridge on Dali-Ruili Railway

The Nujiang Brand Bridge to be built is one of the key control projects on Dali-Ruili Railway.It locates within Nujiang Fault Zone,the collision suture zone of Baoshan Block and Tengchong Block,and the deep and large faults and folds are developed along the both banks with complex structures and unfavorable geology.Therefore the influence of such complicated geological environment and constraint of geological route selection of front and rear lead engineering result in difficult site selection.Based on three bridge site schemes for comparison confirmed by previous work,the engineering geological conditions of these three sites is analyzed and studied;combined with the geological conditions in the front and rear lead engineering and incorporated the qualitative analysis and experts' evaluation,Dapingzi site scheme is recommended.

The death of Mehmed Spaho and Dzemal Bijedic in the context of mythical constructions

During the Yugoslav period two of the most prominent personalities in the political life of Bosniaks from Bosnia and Herzegovina ended their lives while occupying prominent political offices at the Yugoslav level. Their deaths however were subject to various constructions, in scholarly as well as public discourse. These two individuals were Mehmed Spaho and Dzemal Bijedic. In their political work they were connected by the Yugoslav idea, in which they both believed, by the fact that both died suddenly, and the subsequent mythologization of their deaths. This mythologization had the aim to completely revise their political actions and was mainly a product of the new political context. In this paper the author attempts to contextualize the political activities and deaths of these two figures, and to explain the reasons for the mythologization that took place afterwards.
An innovative dental implant with osteoinductive properties by means of bioactive sol-gel coating

In the treatment of edentulous patients with dental implants, there are usually strict patient selection criteria based on well-recognised risk factors that are associated with poor bone-forming activity, such as diabetes, smoking or metabolic bone disorders. Therefore, many patients remain untreated with dental implant clinical practice. Additionally, the expectations of both surgeons and patients of shortening the recovery phase of the dental implant treatments have led Ilerimplant –a well-recognised Spanish manufacturer of dental implants with an excellent worldwide network of distributors– to develop an innovative osteoinductive dental implant by means of a biodegradable coating. The osteoinductive properties, one of the most desired in the last generation of dental implants but not reached yet, have been obtained by a bioactive organic-inorganic hybrid material specially tailored for this purpose by a sol-gel coating process.
Ilerimplant’s overall goals with this innovation project are to industrialise and introduce in the market a new generation of osteoinductive dental implants based on this sol-gel coating (SolDent). Taking into account that the global dental implant markets are continuously growing and that SolDent will be the unique product in the market with effective osteoinductive properties, Ilerimplant expects to make a qualitative leap in market shares and sales with an eminently European and international approach.
Firstly, we will conduct a practical and economic feasibility study in Phase 1 in order to assess the industrialisation process, regulatory issues and commercialisation strategy, ending with the elaboration of a comprehensive business plan. In Phase 2, we will address industrialisation and clinical trial in order to achieve full commercialisation during Phase 3.
Modeling of spatial–temporal distribution of the components in the drying sessile droplet of biological fluid

Abstract Using lubrication theory, drying processes of sessile droplets of blood serum (i.e. colloids with the salt admixture) on a solid hydrophilic horizontal substrate are studied. The concentration of the solute is supposed to be high enough to ensure good adhesion and strong anchoring (pinning) of the triple line, thereby a drop is desiccating with constant base. The simulation of spatial distribution of the components in the droplet of biological fluid drying on a substrate is performed using advection–diffusion equation. The proposed model explains the redistribution of components in a sessile drop of biological fluid when it dries. Competition between advection and diffusion leads to large particles (protein) accumulating at the edge of the drop (well-known coffee-ring effect), while solutes (salts) are distributed more uniformly across the diameter of the sample.
Non stain flooring

A flooring material (1) comprises a base portion (2) having a coating portion (3) which imparts improved stain resistance to the flooring material (1) and is positioned in contact with an upper surface of the base portion (2). The coating portion (3) creates an upper surface of the flooring material (1). A particulate material (6) is embedded in the coating material (3) and at least partially penetrates the base portion (2). The particulate material (6) provides a roughened effect to the upper surface of the flooring material (1) and protects the coating from wear. The coating (3) merges into the base portion (2) where they meet at joint (4) to form a stratified portion (5).

P3.058 Utilization of Municipal STD Clinic Services Among the Insured, San Francisco 2011–2: Implications For Health Care Reform in the United States

Limited data exist on the number of insured patients who receive care at publically funded STD clinics, despite having access to a primary care provider. In this analysis, we compare patients with and without health insurance who sought services at City Clinic, the San Francisco municipal STD clinic. We analysed San Francisco City Clinic visits between August 1, 2011 and August 31, 2012. Insurance was self-reported at registration and included both private and public insurance. Variables from the clinic electronic medical record were examined and included basic demographic and risk behaviour questions, as well as positivity among asymptomatic patients tested for vaginal, urethral, rectal, pharyngeal and/or rectal chlamydial and gonoccocal infection. We compared the characteristics of insured and uninsured patients using chi-square statistics. There were 18,232 patient visits in this analysis, of which 6,305 (35%) were categorised as insured and 11,927 (65%) as uninsured. Overall, insured patients were older, more likely to be male, more likely to be white, and less likely to be Hispanic compared to uninsured patients (all p In our municipal STD clinic, over one-third of patients currently report having insurance, yet still choose to seek care at the STD clinic. These data suggest that the expansion of access to insurance may not result in a reduced need for categorical STD services. Confidentiality and cost may be reasons for continued use of STD clinics among the insured. Maintaining access to high quality sexual health services should remain a priority in the era of expanded health care access.
Digging deeper into genes to track infectious disease outbreaks

Successful public and animal health interventions require detailed knowledge of infectious disease transmission dynamics, in particular how they spread within and between populations. Recent advances in phylodynamics have largely contributed towards the understanding of epidemic spread, including Ebola, HIV and MERS-CoV, by integrating epidemiological and genetic data. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the emergence of new avian influenza viruses (AIV) with high pandemic potential have underlined the need for established global mechanisms to respond to public and animal health threats. To this end, DIGDEEP aims at developing alternative control strategies tailored to the characteristics of AIV evolution and transmission in order to minimize the global economic and health impact of the epidemics. The project will use cutting-edge phylodynamic inference methods to explore devastating and unprecedented epidemics of AIV in Europe and Asia. The outcomes of the project will allow us to infer key epidemiological parameters of the virus spread, such as the basic reproduction number or the likelihood of spillover between host species, and characterize the determinants of the epidemics, such as the importance of population structure or super-spreaders. DIGDEEP will also help to assess the effectiveness of public and animal health interventions in bringing the epidemic under control which are crucial for a well-informed response. Throughout the project, the fellow will gain a strong experience in phylodynamic inference methods, complementing her experience in epidemiology of infectious disease transmission. DIGDEEP will consolidate her scientific expertise in the field of public and animal health and develop transferable skills in team-working, communication and project management, which will be paramount to boost her career as a successful and internationally-recognized researcher.
Review: Mortality in schizophrenia: a measurable clinical endpoint

Over the last five years, large data sets on mortality in schizophrenia have been published which have established mortality as a measurable clinical endpoint. Four issues need clarification: whether mortality rates are declining, what the causes of death are, the effects antipsychotic treatments have on mortality and whether these data inform as to how mortality may be reduced in the future. A PubMed search was carried out to identify relevant publications. The search strategy was conducted as a review focusing predominantly on data since 2006. A large number of retrospective epidemiological and prospective studies have been published on mortality rates and causation in schizophrenia, predominantly from 2006—2009. Data suggest that the mortality gap with the general population increased from the 1970s but may have peaked in the mid-1990s. The main causes of mortality are suicide, cancer and cardiovascular disease, with evidence that cancer mortality rates are similar to cardiovascular mortality rates. Mortality causation is dependent upon age of the cohort, length of follow up and type of study. Antipsychotic treatments reduce mortality when compared with no treatment and atypical antipsychotics do not appear to increase cardiovascular mortality and morbidity compared with conventionals; further research is required for any definitive conclusion.
