Friction reduction in co-axial catheter systems

Subjects: Silicone Elastomers
Silicone Rubber

description: The purpose of these experiments was to evaluate the effectiveness of treating manufactured catheters with radio-frequency induced plasma to obtain decreased static and dynamic friction between treated and non-treated catheters.  This was accomplished by treating the catheters for 0, 5, 30, 120 and 300 seconds and inserting the treated catheter through the lumen of a larger diameter non-treated catheter, around a loop, and measuring the force required to initiate and maintain movement of the inner catheter through the secured outer catheter.  Silicone rubber, polyethylene and two different polyurethanes were studied dry and in three different fluid media:  wetted hydrate in a physiologically buffered saline, and in a 10 mg/ml albumin solution.  X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy was performed on all dry catheters to determine surface chemical composition before and after radio frequency glow discharge treatment.  Water contact angle were obtained on al dry catheters to determine the hydrophobic/hydrophilic nature of the catheters before and after treatment.  Microscopic evaluation and infra-red absorption studies were also performed on some catheters to correlate results.  A short in-vivo study was initiated to obtain qualitative results of the catheter treatments.  No correlation between radio-frequency glow discharge treatment times and friction was observed.  Earlier studies of this type showed some decrease in friction with radio frequency glow discharge treatment, although these previous test were performed on pure material and not on manufactured catheters as was done in these experiments.  There was a definite correlation found between the fluid media used and the friction observed.  These findings varied depending on the catheter material utilized.  Further study is necessary to evaluate the basis behind these findings.

Screening for risk of substance use: validating the adolescent domain screening inventory among a sample of juvenile offenders
Creators: name: Call, Megan Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Adolescents, Screening Instrument, Substance Abuse

description: Juvenile offenders are especially at-risk for developing a substance use disorder due to the strong association between delinquent behavior and alcohol and other drug use Various forms of assessment are employed by substance abuse treatment agencies, hospitals and youth centers to indentify youth who are in need of substance use treatment or other preventive interventions. The ADSI is a screening instrument that was designed to identify adolescents who are at-risk for developing a substance use disorder while considering the underlying risk and protective factors associated with substance use and other problem behavior. The present study assessed the validity of the ADSI among a sample of 121 juvenile offenders. Results from a confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the four-factor structure originally proposed by Corrigan and colleagues consisting of Individual/Peer, School, Family, and Community domains. Results provided also provided evidence of content, predictive and convergent validity. Overall, evidence provided support for the validity and utility of the ADSI in juvenile justice settings with the caveat that further research should be conducted on the ADSI prior to implementing this screening instrument.

Provex CV

description: High blood pressure, or hypertension, defined by the American Heart Association as systolic blood pressure of ? 140 or diastolic blood pressure of ? 90, is a condition that affects nearly 73 million Americans. People with hypertension are at greater risk of developing metabolic syndrome than those without hypertension. Metabolic syndrome is associated with obesity, particularly extra weight around the middle of the body or visceral fat and insulin resistance. The American Heart Association and National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute define metabolic syndrome as having three or more of five signs present in a single case. The five signs include high blood pressure, elevated fasting blood glucose, abdominal obesity, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and elevated triglycerides.

description: The Chinese population is the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S.A and experiences differential generational acculturation in families. This pilot study focused on finding out what risk and protective factors are associated with Chinese immigrant families in the U.S.A by comparing Asian and non-Asian families. First, Asian families (Asian n=50 vs. Strengthening Families Program (SFP) n= 3,500) needs assessment and SFP outcomes were obtained after analyzing the archived SFP database. Asian families had a higher family conflict than non-Asian families and SFP helped Asian families more to improve their family harmony. Then, the new needs assessment online SFP survey for Chinese families living in the U.S.A was conducted. After comparing 50 Chinese responses with 56 Asian and 50 randomized non-Asian families, the results showed unexpectedly that Chinese families had much better family relationships and fewer children's behavioral problems except hyperactivity. Overall, Chinese families are still faced with a parent-child acculturation gap. Implications of the findings for research and practice as well as the limitations of the study are discussed.
Grounded theory approach to the process of young caregiving from the perspectives of former young caregivers, current young caregivers, and their chronically ill parents

Subjects: Chronically Ill Parents

Young Caregiving

description: With the advent of increasing survival rates related to catastrophic illness, disability, and chronic illness, children 18 years old or younger are being called upon to serve as caregivers. This study sought to explain the social process of young caregiving and was guided by the following three questions: (a) How does the phenomenon of young caregiving begin? (b) How is young caregiving sustained over time? and (c) How does young caregiving end? A qualitative grounded theory study design was used. Nineteen participants were interviewed: (a) 6 chronically ill parents, (b) 5 young caregivers, and (c) 9 former young caregivers. (One participant represents the viewpoints of an ill parent and a former young caregiver.) Data were collected by using a semistructured interview schedule to obtain data for initial comparison and theme identification in 13 initial interviews. Open-ended questions, based upon emergent themes, were used in subsequent interviews. In order to be included in the study, all participants had to be at least 12 years old or older and have current or past involvement of at least 6 months with caregiving activity to a parent. Parent participants were included if they experienced at least 6 months of functional impairment and relied upon a child for caregiving assistance. Grounded theory methods of constant comparative analysis and theoretical sampling were used to analyze audiotaped interviews and verbatim interview transcripts. Analysis resulted in two core variables: (a) 'doing the best you could with what you had' from a chronically ill parent's perspective and (b) 'doing what needed to be done' from a young caregiver's perspective. Three explanative conceptual maps of action are offered that explain individual and interactional movement through the process. Three key concepts that capture the action of all three maps are the following: (a) moving from certainty to uncertainty, (b) accommodating a new reality, and (c) making peace with change. Implications are discussed from the perspectives of (a) nursing practice, (b) nursing research, and (c) educational settings.

description: This document describes an improved method of formal verification of complex analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits. Currently, in our LEMA tool, verification properties are encoded using labeled Petri net (LPN). These LPNs are generated manually, a tedious process that requires the user to have considerable familiarity with the tool. To eliminate this time-consuming process, our LEMA tool is extended to include a translator that converts properties written in a property specification language to LPNs. New methods are also implemented to separate the transient period from the stable output period, thus improving the generated model. Also, the current methodology generates the circuit models for the input values used during the simulation of the circuit. So, models generated for other control input values are not accurate. In this case, accuracy of the generated models is improved by using a linear abstraction method like interpolation.

Caregiving process of Thai caregivers to elderly stroke relatives : a grounded theory approach
Creators: name: Subgranon, Rarcharneeporn
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Thailand

description: A grounded theory approach was used in this study to generate a substantive theory that explains the process of caregiving based on the perspectives of Thai caregivers of elderly stroke relatives. The study sample consisted of 20 primary caregivers living in five districts of Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. The participants were interviewed in their homes. Observations were made during the interviews and the researcher's memos were maintained. All interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. All data accumulated from the interviews, observations, and notes were analyzed. The substantive theory that emerged from the data was called "maintaining caregiving at home." This theory described how and why Thai caregivers cared for their elderly stroke relatives. The process of maintaining caregiving encompassed the following seven aspects which helped caregivers provide care for their relatives: (a) caregiving as an integral part of life; (b) caregiving: an unavoidable task; (c) caregiving with love, sympathy, and attachment; (d) family and kinship support; (e) community support; (f) managing treatment; (g) managing problems and difficulties. This theory can help nurses and other health care providers gain a better understanding of the caregiving process of Thai caregivers. Major factors identified in this theory can be related to concepts or variables indicated in previous studies and existing models. Problems and difficulties experienced by participants suggest the need for caregiver support services. Personal beliefs due to religion and culture played major roles throughout the caregiving process. Also, important religious and cultural concepts such as karma, bunkhun, merit, sin, and heaven are needed to understand the theory. Health care providers should integrate scientific, religious, and cultural knowledge into their clinical practice for promoting quality of life of family caregivers and their elderly stroke relatives. Further research is needed to test the theory with larger samples and its value in developing appropriate interventions for Thai caregivers and stroke patients.

description: The Kid Loses to Domination offers a multidisciplinary critique of environmentality, domination and subjecthood regarding Ken Kesey's 1964 novel Sometimes a Great Notion. Utilizing methods drawn from the academic discipline of environmental criticism; natural and environmental history, philosophy, ecopsychology, ethology and critical theory offer perspective. This work emerged from a fall 2010 class titled "Ecocriticism," taught by University of Utah Professor Robert Stephen Tatum. Kesey's novel, largely neglected critically, offers enormous potential to the field of ecocritique. A realist story of a patriarchal logging family set in early- to mid-twentieth century Oregon, Kesey offers through mimesis a rich environmentality duly represented in form. Ecomimesis aside, the novel offers historically rooted grounds for capitalist critique and a strong template for critique of patriarchal domination and the so-called traditional western American masculine archetype. Fiction differs admittedly from history or psychology. Storylines, causes and effects, influences and outcomes are often invented in fiction; while in history, a convincing story or argument emerges in tandem with verifiable fact. Research driven psychology utilizes theory, hypothesis testing and peer review to suggest tendencies or general characteristics in the human condition. Too readily useful perspectives are converted into gospel truth, bad science or history. Wallace Stegner-Kesey's late 1950's writing mentor-aimed for Western realism in fiction. Guiding the widely recognized teacher, writer, historian, and ardent environmentalist was the belief that in fiction "we should have no agenda but to tell the truth." Through the humanities, scholars too can bring to light certain ‘truths' or perceptions, patterns denied recognition yet profoundly affecting awareness and our relationship to our selves, each other and the more than human world. In the ecological view, a system is far more complex than its constituents; subverts with dynamic interrelations held more significant than static identities, and recognizes that feedback loops-as well as dominant and resistant elements-change system behavior. This seems true of critical disciplines as well. The whole is more than a sum of the parts, and what we learn today-whether from history, literature, science, critical thinking or the natural environment-cannot but influence individual and collective action tomorrow.

description: Tropical forests are vital global reservoirs of biodiversity and carbon (C). Deforestation and degradation of these ecosystems greatly threatens their capacity to provide crucial ecosystem functions and services, by altering complex plant-soil interactions and biogeochemical cycles underpinned by soil microbes. Forest disturbance is accelerating in Southeast Asia, through widespread selective logging (SL) and forest conversion to oil palm plantation (OP). This has major implications for soil microbial communities and functions, although effects of tropical forest disturbance on belowground biodiversity and the resistance and resilience of soil microbial nutrient and C-cycling are unresolved. The potential to restore soil microbial communities and essential functions is also largely unknown. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate impacts of tropical forest modification (degradation, conversion and restoration) on soil microbial community attributes, and implications for ecosystem biogeochemical cycling. The rainforests of Borneo were used as a model study system, representing a hotspot of biodiversity and forest degradation. I conducted survey and experiments across land-use contrasts of old-growth (OG), SL and restored forest and OP. SL and OP significantly affected relative abundances of mycorrhizal fungal types, with implications for soil C storage. Mycelial productivity was not affected by SL but was negatively impacted by OP, indicating potential for SL forest rehabilitation but consequences for OP nutrient cycling and restoration. Logging gaps in SL forest significantly altered bacterial and fungal community structure, reducing mycorrhizal abundance and altering supply rates of key nutrients. Logging gaps may also supress microbial C cycling, implied by reduced soil respiration, although soil functioning appeared more resilient to drought than adjacent closed canopy forest. Prolonged increases in soil respiration in SL forest soils after rewetting highlight sensitivity of tropical forest to future climate change perturbations. Overall, soil microbial communities did not recover with restoration of SL forest, suggesting current management practices select for different microbial taxa which may impede rehabilitation of ecosystem functions. Overall findings demonstrate human modification of tropical forest affects key soil microbial groups, with potential consequences for biogeochemical cycling and atmospheric C feedbacks at the landscape scale. This highlights the need to incorporate evaluation of belowground communities and function in predicting impacts of land-use and climate change, as well as effective ecosystem rehabilitation for biodiversity conservation and provision of essential ecosystem services by these vital, hyperdiverse environments.

description: Sexual harassment proclivity is an important but understudied domain of human conduct. The most widely used measure solely assesses the use of professional power to obtain sexual favors from subordinates. This single dimension does not reflect the full scope of behaviors that are subsumed under the label of sexual harassment. Moreover, it is not clear that different types of harassing behaviors can be predicted equally well by different individual difference variables. In Study 1 (N = 298), the Likelihood to Sexually Harass scale was expanded to include a broader set of sexual harassment scenarios, which were then subjected to exploratory factor analysis. Two latent forms of sexual harassment were uncovered: coerciveness and persistence. In Study 2 (N = 310), the two-factor solution fit well in a confirmatory factor analysis and performed better than a single factor. In Study 3 (N = 403), these two factors were regressed onto a range of personality traits and beliefs—including empathy, sadism, psychopathy, and several scales related to adversarial beliefs about the opposite sex. This design enabled assessment of (a) whether the factors could be predicted by the same individual differences, and (b) which individual differences may account for unique variance in predicting harassment proclivity. Finally, to examine the persistent aspect of sexual harassment more closely, a simulated choose-your-own-adventure game was generated in Study 4 (N = 1046), in which participants were given multiple opportunities to act platonically or romantically towards an attractive member of the opposite sex in a workplace. While there may be subtle distinctions between different types of harassment, a variety of behaviors under the umbrella of sexual harassment proclivity are so strongly correlated and predicted by the same individual differences that they may be indistinguishable in practice. Both forms of harassment proclivity were consistently predicted by a suite of “dark” or predatory personality traits—particularly adversarial sexual beliefs, sadism, likelihood to rape, and sexual dominance—and Christianity. These results provide new insights and open up new research avenues into the profile of individuals who use exploitative methods to obtain sex.

description: This study examines how Indigenous people build communities in higher education settings. This focus frames the impact of connectivity on identity development through a correlation between cultural accessibility and improved post-secondary success for this population. The research centers on three institutions: The University of Texas at Austin, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Queen’s University. Separate chapters are dedicated to each campus in order to emphasize the great variation of Indigenous identity across the North American continent and to reflect various opportunities for manifestations of cultural connectivity. Research is also included concerning each university’s relationship to the wider Indigenous communities of the regions in which they sit. This includes exploration of the institutions’ relationships with local nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and initiatives which seek to include outside Indigenous voice in campus affairs.

description: The Lucin mining district is in the northern third of the Pilot Range of western Utah and eastern Nevada. The district has produced since 1870 over three million dollars of low grade copper and iron ore primarily of malachite, chrysocolla, goethite and limonite. Mining operations reached a high point in the early nineteen hundreds but because of high percentrages of alumina and silica, milling and metallurgical difficulties forced the gradual decrease in production until in 1955, operations were abandoned.

Robust nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation by dynamical correction

description: Besides the intrinsic noise resilience property, nonadiabatic geometric phases are of the fast evolution nature, and thus can naturally be used in constructing quantum gates with excellent performance, i.e., the so-called nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC). However, previous single-loop NGQC schemes are sensitive to the operational control error, i.e., the $X$ error, due to the limitations of the implementation. Here, we propose a robust scheme for NGQC combining with the dynamical correction technique, which still uses only simplified pulses, and thus being experimental friendly. We numerically show that our scheme can greatly improve the gate robustness in previous protocols, retaining the intrinsic merit of geometric phases. Furthermore, to fight against the dephasing noise, due to the $Z$ error, we can incorporate the decoherence-free subspace encoding strategy. In this way, our scheme can be robust against both types of errors. Finally, we also propose how to implement the scheme with encoding on superconducting quantum circuits with experimentally demonstrated technology. Therefore, due to the intrinsic robustness, our scheme provides a promising alternation for the future scalable fault-tolerant quantum computation.

description: With shale resources becoming increasingly more important in the global energy fuel mixture, a thorough understanding of heterogeneities present within individual units is crucial to an accurate assessment of resource potential. A wide variety of core data collected from the Lower Blue Gate Member, Mancos B, Juana Lopez Member, and Tununk Member of the Mancos Shale shed light on the scale and variety of heterogeneities present in this siliciclastically influenced mudstone/shale system. 11 lithofacies were identified over five cored intervals throughout the Uinta Basin, and a depositional model was thereby developed. Three environments of deposition are identified: the prodelta, the mudbelt, and the sediment starved shelf. Within this depositional model, subtle proximal to distal trends are interpreted. Mechanisms of transport and deposition of sediment are different within each of the three environments, with river influence dominant in the prodelta environment, combined flow as well as hyperpycnal flow dominating the mudbelt environment, and hypopycnal settling of sediment dominating in the sediment starved shelf. Individual parasequences are identified in each cored interval based on identification of flooding surfaces. Each parasequence (roughly 15 feet thick) records the local landward progression of depositional environments. Proximal to distal trends relating overlying and underlying parasequences is used to determine stacking patterns throughout each cored interval. Highstand systems tracts record aggradational stacking patterns. Transgressive systems tracts demonstrate a retrogradational stacking pattern. Lowstand systems tracts record a significant landward shift in facies at their base, and are aggradational to progradational. Systems tracts are 20-50 foot-scale in thickness. Two potential shale gas reservoir targets emerge from this study, and each target fits a very limited sequence stratigraphic interval. High gas storage potential along with a relative brittleness responsive to hydraulic fracturing is expected in the most landward lithofacies with the coarsest grained siltstone (lithofacies 9), deposited in the proximal mudbelt environment. In the sequence stratigraphic model presented herein, this lithofacies occupies the late, proximal highstand systems tract, or the lowstand systems tract. High organic carbon content, as well as high porosity values and increased calcite content (which may impart brittleness) are found in a separate lithofacies (lithofacies 8) that is deposited exclusively in the distal sediment starved shelf during the transgressive systems tracts. The systematic classification of environments of deposition allows refined interpretations of the sequence stratigraphic framework of the Mancos Shale without the necessity to correlate mudstones to updip, more proximal, shallow marine expressions of the depositional system.

Spinal cord compression

description: Low back disorders (LBD) continue to be a costly problem in the workplace.  Employees and employers both suffer loses from the effects of low back disorders and  debilitating injuries associated with manual material handling (MMH), specifically lifting  and lowering. Current knowledge and understanding of the risk factors related to low  back injuries are limited. The purpose of this work was to aid in the development of a  biomechanical model to estimate peak back compressive force (BCF) in the spine at the  L5/S1 intervertebral disk. This was accomplished in three parts. Part one described the  effectiveness of using a statistically based biomechanical model to predict posture during  lifting and lowering. Part two contained a refined model developed to estimate BCF  from a hand-calculated back compressive force model (HCBCF). Part three incorporated  a modification constant into a HCBCF model to estimate BCF to include inertial loads  caused by mass accelerations during lifting/lowering. The result of this work was a  model capable of estimating peak BCF during lifting/lowering tasks to aid in the  identification of j ob hazards and subsequent risk of developing low back injuries.

description: This ex post facto, descriptive, correlational study was designed to examine the degree of depression of 106 currently-divorced individuals over 50 years of age who had been married at least 15 years, separated not more than 4 years, divorced 3 years or less and living in Salt Lake County, Utah. Measurements of depression were obtained from the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Findings indicate that the level of depression among the older, divorced individuals was in the low range, but slightly higher than normal subjects screened for depression by Zung. The amount of professional psychiatric help (54.9%) used by this sample may have helped to relieve the depressive effect of the divorce. They were not screened for antidepressant medications. Greater social support and positive subjective view of health were associated with lower depression scores. No relationship was found between the other demographic variables of age, gender, present income, education, employment and religion and the higher scores on the SDS.

Scott M. Matheson Wetland Preserve (Utah)

description: Dissolved gas concentrations, tritium, and stable isotopes have been used to develop a conceptual model of a complex desert-wetland groundwater flow system adjacent to the Colorado River near Moab, Utah. The Scott M. Matheson Wetland Preserve lies directly across the Colorado River from a large uranium tailings pile at the topographic low of the Moab salt-collapse valley. Extreme salinity gradients and transients in hydraulic heads make the use of Darcy's law problematic with regards to delineating groundwater flow, but a reasonably self-consistent model emerges when a suite of environmental tracer data are considered. Dissolved 4He concentrations are more than two orders of magnitude larger than atmospheric solubility as little as 2 m below the Colorado River and delineate the effective boundary between a shallow, fresh groundwater system and underlying brine. The combination of tritium, stable isotope, dissolved gas, and salinity measurements allowed for clear determinatio
