Influence of silica fume on stress-strain behavior of FRP-confined HSC

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Confinement of high-strength concrete (HSC) columns with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has been receiving increasing research attention due to the advantageous engineering properties offered by the composite system. The use of silica fume as a concrete additive is a widely accepted practice in producing HSC. However, the influence of presence and amount of silica fume on the efficiency of FRP confinement has not been clearly understood. This paper presents results of an experimental study on the influence of silica fume on FRP-confined HSC. Nine aramid FRP (AFRP)-confined and nine unconfined concrete cylinders were tested under axial compression. The change in the mechanical properties of FRP-confined and unconfined HSC with silica fume amount was investigated. The results indicate that the compressive strength of unconfined concrete increases with an increase in the amount of silica fume. However, this increase comes at a cost of increased concrete brittleness, which adversely affects the effectiveness of FRP confinement. These observations were further validated with 93 test results of FRP-confined HSC assembled from the published literature. The additional results from the database allowed further observations to be made on the influence of silica fume on the compressive behavior of FRP-confined HSC. This paper presents the findings of these investigations.

description: This paper analyzes the structural, energetic and mechanical properties of carbon dioxide hydrate clathrates calculated using finite cluster and periodic ab initio density-functional theory methodologies. Intermolecular interactions are described by the exchange-hole dipole moment method. The stability, gas saturation energetics, guest–host interactions, cage deformations, vibrational frequencies, and equation of state parameters for the low-pressure sI cubic phase of the CO₂@H₂O clathrate hydrate are presented. Our results reveal that: (i) the gas saturation process energetically favors complete filling; (ii) carbon dioxide molecules prefer to occupy the larger of the two cages in the sI structure; (iii) blue shifts occur in both the symmetric and antisymmetric stretching frequencies of CO₂ upon encapsulation; and (iv) free rotation of guest molecules is restricted to a plane parallel to the hexagonal faces of the large cages. In addition, we calculate the librational frequency of the hindered rotation of the guest molecule in the plane perpendicular to the hexagonal faces. Our calculated spectroscopic data can be used as signatures for the detection of clathrate hydrates in planetary environments.

Measurement of Gas-Phase Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS) Generated by Remote Air Plasmas
Creators: name: Thomas, Phillip
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Atmospheric pressure plasmas have found applications in a wide variety of fields, from medicine to food processing. Most of these plasma applications rely on direct application, where the plasma source is in close contact with the area or product to be treated. This makes it hard to define a 'dose' with so many components of the plasma: charged and excited particles, UV photons, electromagnetic fields - especially when all of these products may exhibit synergistic effects. To simplify this, a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) based Remote and Enclosed Cold Atmospheric Plasma (ReCAP) source was produced, in which only the long-lived chem ical species are delivered to the treatment area. The ReCAP source allows for control over the plasma species produced by modifying the input flow rate, enabling both NO?? species and ozone to be produced. The work presented in this thesis explores the chemical production from the ReCAP source, utilising a variety of techniques including optical emission spectroscopy (OES), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, chemiluminescence detection (CLD) and non-dispersive UV (NDUV) spectroscopy. While DBD sources are known for ozone generation, the NO?? generation was compared to a representative state-of-the-art NO?? generating discharge - the spark discharge. The ReCAP source was found to produce a comparable amount of NO?? to the spark discharge, while also being able to function as an ozone generator. As a result of this research, a number of further test campaigns are suggested, to further gauge the elements of control that could be enabled on the plasma effluent, and to explore the wide range of potential applications.

Urban Forest Indicators for Planning and Designing Future Forests

description: This paper describes a research project exploring future urban forests. This study uses a Delphi approach to develop a set of key indicators for healthy, resilient urban forests. Two groups of experts participated in the Delphi survey: International academics and local practitioners. The results of the Delphi indicate that “urban tree diversity” and “physical access to nature” are indicators of high importance. “Tree risk” and “energy conservation” were rated as indicators of relatively low importance. Results revealed some differences between academics and practitioners in terms of their rating of the indicators. The research shows that some indicators rated as high importance are not necessarily the ones measured or promoted by many municipal urban forestry programs. In particular, social indicators of human health and well-being were rated highly by participants, but not routinely measured by urban forestry programs.
Investigating Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) in Pigs
Creators: name: Marsh, Charlotte Louise
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2024

description: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes hepatitis E in humans and is present worldwide. The primary route of transmission is faecal-oral, which is dominant in developing countries where drinking water can be contaminated, and conditions possibly unsanitary. There are several genotypes (HEV1-8) of the virus, which are distributed across most continents. However, within the last 15 years there has been an increase in the number of autochthonous cases of hepatitis E (genotype 3) in countries within Europe, including the UK, and the United States of America. Despite there being a few transmission routes of HEV, there is evidence to suggest this rise in cases originated from pigs through the consumption of undercooked, contaminated pork products, such as pigs’ livers and pork sausages. This is due to HEV being endemic in the pig population and pigs being a reservoir host. As a result of this foodborne zoonosis, research has investigated the progression of HEV infection in the pig to determine how the virus is entering the pork food chain. Although many of these studies were successful in infecting pigs with HEV, they utilised alternative routes of inoculation such as intravenous, which do not represent the natural route of infection, i.e., faecal-oral. Consequently, these studies may produce different results to what is observed in the farm environment, such as faecal shedding, viraemia, and HEV detections in the muscle meat occurring earlier than expected.

description:

description: This project employed a multi-faceted approach to gain a better understanding of HEV pathogenesis in the pig and overcome weaknesses in HEV research, such as the lack of an established oral inoculation model for HEV in pigs. A UK pig farm located in South-West England was explored to provide a recent dataset on the current HEV genotypes in circulation on one farm. This contributes to the topic as evidence suggests the increase in hepatitis E cases are suspected of originating from imported pork products, therefore providing data to demonstrate HEV stability in the UK pig population supports this notion. Cell culture systems were investigated to learn more about HEV replication in vitro and to propagate virus stocks for in vivo studies. Finally, an oral inoculation model was established to provide a natural route of infection and follow the course of HEV infection within the pig. This model can be used in future research to determine how HEV is entering the food chain.

Combined molecular dynamics and thermodynamics modelling of skin lipid bilayer structure and barrier property - Effect of hydration and exposure to chemicals
Creators: name: Piasentin, Nicola
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of skin, is the main rate limiting step in percutaneous absorption and the inter-corneocyte lipid matrix is the dominant pathway for skin permeation of solutes. Unravelling the mechanisms underpinning SC lipids barrier property is pivotal for many applications, e.g., to design better transdermal drugs, to aid skin protection from environmental chemicals, and to deliver better skin health.

description:

description: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been employed to predict the SC lipid matrix structural and barrier properties. However, studies that investigate how the SC lipid barrier function depends on its water content and exposure to exogenous chemicals are limited. Moreover, the partitioning of chemicals into SC lipids has been largely unaddressed. Here, MD simulations and thermodynamic modelling tools (the combined MD/COSMOmic method) are exploited to investigate the effect of hydration and exposure to chemicals on the structural and barrier property of SC lipid bilayers.

description:

description: Firstly, relevant MD simulation methods to predict the free energy barrier, the diffusion coefficient, and the permeability of SC lipid bilayers are tested to assess their ability to capture SC lipids barrier property. Next, MD simulations are run to predict how the structure of SC lipid bilayers is affected by the hydration level and the exposure to topical chemicals, namely urea, glycerol, and ethanol. Results show that decreasing the hydration level lowers the ordering of the lipid leaflets. Exposure to glycerol and urea does not largely affect the structure of the bilayers. Ethanol, instead, weakens the membrane stability. Lastly, the combined MD/COSMOmic method is used to predict the partition coefficients of a set of dermatological relevant solutes. The results obtained suggest that the approach correctly reproduces the partition properties of SC lipids and that the partition enhancing features of a given molecule are related to its chemical affinity with the permeating solute.

description: Perinatal loss from all causes is a common occurrence and can have a profound impact on parents’ psychological wellbeing. In 2021, NHS Maternal Mental Health Services were launched in part to support those with early bereavement. However, there remains some uncertainty regarding the selection of appropriate treatment approaches for parents. Furthermore, partners risk exclusion from accessing support, as less is known about the prevalence of difficulties among this population. This thesis comprises of two parts. Part A presents an empirical investigation on the prospective impact of perinatal loss on recently bereaved partners, assessed at two time points, six months apart. The results supported a heterogenous profile of grieving, although there remained evidence of clinically significant grief and depression for a substantial proportion of the sample at T1 and at follow-up. Additionally, avoidant coping, experience of stillbirth, female gender, and younger age appear to be factors associated with more severe outcomes. Part B examines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a potential, yet empirically untested, treatment modality for providing psychological support to parents experiencing perinatal loss. This is achieved via a conceptual review, mapping key factors documented in the literature associated with perinatal grief onto the model’s six core processes. The findings suggest that ACT may be a suitable treatment model for addressing perinatal grief, through enabling greater psychological flexibility, which may help parents to personally connect with the significance of the loss and plot a way forward. It is argued that this approach may be especially pertinent in social contexts characterised by silence and invalidation around perinatal loss, tackling avoidance processes which have been associated with a range of mental health difficulties. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Development of a high-resolution beta-gamma coincidence detection system for noble gas fission products
Creators: name: Goodwin, Matthew Alan
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Noble gas fission products are produced during a nuclear explosion and are the radionuclides most likely to escape an underground nuclear weapon test. Radioactive isotopes of xenon, known as radioxenon, are an especially good signature and as such, are monitored globally via the International Monitoring System (IMS) – the primary tool for the verification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). The most sensitive method for detection and quantification of radioxenon fission products is β−γ (including electron–photon) coincidence spectroscopy, as is used by the IMS. The United Kingdom (UK) CTBT-certified radionuclide laboratory (known as GBL15) is operated at AWE Aldermaston, on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence. This laboratory uses β−γ coincidence spectroscopy to measure isotopes of radioxenon in gas samples from the IMS, as well as high-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy for high-volume air filters. Through the development of new detector systems, it is possible to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of radionuclide measurements. This thesis describes how new, high-resolution detection systems can be used to improve the sensitivity of measurements of noble gas fission products such as radioactive isotopes of xenon. Improved energy resolution means reduced interference between emissions of radionuclides and lower backgrounds which result in improved detection limits. Measuring radionuclides from the atmosphere is now more difficult due to a significant and dynamic atmospheric radionuclide background from the emissions of civil nuclear facilities; measurements of key radionuclides in the presence of such background signals is the way to improve the detectability of underground nuclear tests. Through this work, noble gas fission products have been produced from neutron induced fission of U-235 and fission product noble gases (Xe-133, Xe-135, Xe-133m, Xe-131m, Xe-135m, Kr-88, Kr-85, Kr-85m) have been measured on a novel high-resolution β−γ coincidence detector system. Measurements performed as part of this work have demonstrated the detection limit can be improved for key radionuclides such as Xe-131m and Xe-133m (<0.2 mBq). This work demonstrates how a detector system setup and configured at GBL15 can be used to better discriminate between background sources and a nuclear explosion, and proposes new detector systems for consideration in the future GBL15 process.

Biomimetic chiral gyroids for photonic microstructures
Creators: name: Turner, Mark Daniel
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis investigates the use of biomimetic structures known as the gyroid network for nanophotonic applications. These biomimetic nanostructures are found in the green butterfly called Callophrys rubi. This research thesis demonstrated the replication of these bio inspired designs at microscopic scales using 3D laser nano-fabrication technology. Most importantly, through experimental and theoretical characterisation it was shown that these chiral photonic microstructures possess extremely high chiral-optical properties. The applications of these chiral nano-photonic structures will be of great importance to the design of microscopic optical polarisation devices, providing a unique functionality not possible with naturally occurring chiral materials.

description: This thesis presents novel contributions to the field of attribute-aware face recognition, addressing fundamental challenges in efficiency, bias, and integration of attributes with identity features. Our work spans three main areas, each contributing to the overarching goal of enhancing the robustness and unbiased performance of the face recognition system, across various attribute cohorts, while managing computational complexity.First, we reduce the efficiency compromise of modern anchor-based face detectors, which, despite their effectiveness, suffer from computational complexity due to redundant feature extraction and unreliable decision-making processes. We introduce a Heatmap-assisted Spatial Attention (HSA) module and a Scale-aware Layer Attention (SLA) module, which significantly reduces computational costs by adaptively focusing on informative features and employing a spatial feature selection that highlights facial areas. Our approach, which combines heatmap scores with classification results for decision-making, demonstrates a notable reduction in efficiency compromise and reliability on well-known benchmarks.Second, recognising the importance of attribute awareness in face recognition, we address the challenge of feature disentanglement to mitigate potential performance biases among identities with different attributes. By leveraging the Nearest neighbours Proxy Triple (NPT) loss and introducing an innovative Adaptive-rank NPT loss, we achieve a natural separation of identity and attribute features, enhancing both accuracy and unbiased performance across different gender and ethnicity categories. Our method, namely Ada2NPT loss, outperforms the state-of-the-art losses by promoting inter-class separability and intra-class compactness, as evidenced by our experiments on several benchmarking datasets.Last, we propose a novel approach to overcome the limitations of traditional representation learning, which struggles with integrating multiple attribute features with identity features due to discretised labels and attribute prediction fallibility. Utilising a pre-trained vision-language model, we transfer facial attributes into prompts for extracting embeddings, thereby achieving a dynamic integration of attribute information into identity embeddings. This prompt-driven method not only reduces false positives across diverse attributes but also establishes a new state-of-the-art for attribute-aware face recognition as validated on several benchmarks.In conclusion, our research advances the state-of-the-art in attribute-aware face recognition by introducing efficient, unbiased, and dynamic methods for feature extraction, decision-making, and attribute integration. Our contributions promise significant improvements in the robustness and unbiased performance of a face recognition system, setting a new standard for future developments in the field.

description: »Von allen Kriegshauptstädten erlitt nur Warschau höhere Schäden als Manila.« General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Smith 1958) So rasch es den japanischen Truppen gelungen war, die Philippinen um die Jahreswende 1941/42 militärisch zu besetzen und dort ein ihnen gefügiges Regime unter Jose P. Laurel zu installieren, so gering blieben ihre Chancen, »Hirne und Herzen« der Bevölkerung zu gewinnen und sich auf den Inseln dauerhaft festzusetzen. Aufgrund landesweiter Proteste und bewaffneten Widerstands waren die neuen Machthaber in Manila nicht einmal in der Lage, das Hauptnahrungsmittel Reis ausreichend produzieren zu lassen, geschweige denn die Preise dafür halbwegs stabil zu halten. Je länger der Krieg dauerte, desto brutaler wurden die Methoden, Reis einzutreiben. Was nicht in die Hände der japanischen Armee gelangte, landete auf dem Schwarzmarkt.
