title: Lateral ground movement effects near connection of medium density polyethylene gas distribution pipes
Creators: name: Sinha, Tanmoy
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Buried medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) pipes are extensively used for gas distribution systems. These pipes are sometimes exposed to geotechnical hazards such as ground movement, which may cause significant damage to the pipes. Understanding the behaviour of the pipes subjected to the ground movement is critical for transporting natural gas safely and economically using these pipings. This thesis presents an investigation of MDPE gas distribution pipes subjected to lateral ground movements near a connection. Gas distribution systems include a number of connections and lateral branches to supply gas to communities. When a pipe is subjected to the load from the lateral ground movement, the branch pipes experience axial force, and the pipe itself experiences bending deformation. As a result, excessive strains can develop on the pipes, leading to leakage or breakage. In this study, the bending strain on the pipes and the axial force on branch pipes are investigated using full-scale testing. Tests were conducted using 42.2-mm and 60-mm diameter MDPE pipes buried in the ground in a full-scale test facility. Each type of pipe was tested at two different burial depths in dense sand and loose sand. Test results showed that the axial force on the lateral branch depends on the burial depth, the pipe diameter, and soil density. The pipe under lateral ground movement experienced significant bending strain near the connection. The measured responses of the pipes were reasonably estimated within the linear range of deformations using beam-on-elastic spring idealization. For large deformations, elastoplastic spring parameters were required to simulate the pipe behaviour. The bilinear elastoplastic spring parameters recommended in the pipe design guidelines for steel pipes were modified to simulate the measured responses for the MDPE pipes. Based on the validated spring parameters, a parametric study was conducted using a python script to investigate the effect of burial depth, soil density and landslide magnitude on the pulling force and the bending strain.
Open Transactions on Shared Memory

description: Transactional memory has arisen as a good way for solving many of the issues of lock-based programming. However, most implementations admit isolated transactions only, which are not adequate when we have to coordinate communicating processes. To this end, in this paper we present OCTM, an Haskell-like language with open transactions over shared transactional memory: processes can join transactions at runtime just by accessing to shared variables. Thus a transaction can co-operate with the environment through shared variables, but if it is rolled-back, also all its effects on the environment are retracted. For proving the expressive power of TCCS we give an implementation of TCCS, a CCS-like calculus with open transactions.

description: As endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair has become increasingly prominent in our vascular surgery practices, the discussion regarding long-term durability continues. The initial randomized trials that enrolled patients almost 10 years ago revealed a short-term survival advantage with endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair at the expense of a higher reintervention rate and loss of that initial survival advantage in the longer term. Continuing and healthy debate over the practical importance of these findings has resulted in somewhat differing practice patterns on either side of the Atlantic. This debate explores the issues surrounding whether younger, good-risk patients with a long life expectancy should be treated with endovascular repair.

description: Young supernova remnants show a characteristic ejecta-dominated X-ray emission that allows us to probe the products of the explosive nucleosynthesis processes and to ascertain important information about the physics of the supernova explosions. Hard X-ray observations have recently revealed the radioactive decay lines of 44Ti at ~67.9 keV and ~78.4 keV in the Tycho's SNR. We here analyze the set of XMM-Newton archive observations of the Tycho's SNR. We produce equivalent width maps of the Fe K and Ca XIX emission lines and find indications for a stratification of the abundances of these elements and significant anisotropies. We then perform a spatially resolved spectral analysis by identifying five different regions characterized by high/low values of the Fe K equivalent width. We find that the spatial distribution of the Fe K emission is correlated with that of the Cr XXII. We also detect the Ti K-line complex in the spectra extracted from the two regions with the highest values of the Fe and Cr equivalent widths. The Ti line emissions remains undetected in regions where the Fe and Cr equivalent widths are low. Our results indicate that the post-shock Ti is spatially co-located with other iron-peak nuclei in Tycho's SNR, in agreement with the predictions of multi-D models of Type Ia supernovae.

description: The symptoms and sequelae of sickle cell anaemia (SCA) are caused by the polymerization of deoxygenated sickle haemoglobin, and people with SCA may be uniquely susceptible to adverse outcomes from hypoxia and haemoglobin desaturation. We examined by oximetry adults (aged 18-45 years) with SCA presenting symptoms indicative of polysomnography, at a single institution, irrespective of treatment, for nocturnal hypoxaemia. Clinical labs and blood for in vitro assessments were taken upon enrolment and after 8-12 weeks of oxygen therapy or observation. Of 21 screened participants, nine (43%) had sufficient nocturnal hypoxaemia to warrant oxygen therapy (≥5 min at SpO2 ≤ 88%). Time spent at SpO2 ≤ 88% associated with age (p = 0.0092), annual hospitalizations (p = 0.0018) and anaemia (p = 0.0139), as well as plasma levels of TNFα (p = 0.0019) and IL-4 (p = 0.0147). Longitudinal analysis showed that WBC significantly decreased during the follow-up period in hypoxic individuals but not in non-hypoxic individuals (p = 0.0361 and p = 0.6969 respectively). Plasma levels of CCL2 and IL-1ra tended to increase, while levels of red blood cell reactive oxygen species tended to decrease with oxygen therapy. Overall, nocturnal hypoxaemia was common in this pilot study population and associated with plausible clinical comorbidities; oxygen therapy may decrease inflammation and oxidative damage in hypoxic individuals.

description: Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the conformable GORE TAG thoracic endoprosthesis (CTAG) device (W. L. Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) for the endovascular repair of traumatic aortic transections. Methods: A prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter trial was conducted at 21 sites. Primary safety end points included 30-day all-cause mortality. The effectiveness end point was freedom from a major device event requiring reintervention through 1-month follow-up. Results: Fifty-one subjects were enrolled between December 2009 and January 2011 with polytraumatic injuries and a mean Injury Severity Score of 32 6 14. The proximal mean intimal aortic diameter measured 24 mm, while the mean distal intimal diameter was 22 mm. A total of 57 CTAG devices were implanted (mean, 1.1/subject; range, 1-2) with a mean patient age of 44 years (range, 21-87) and a male-to-female ratio of 2:1. Technical success was 100% with an operative mortality of 0%. Femoral access was utilized in 96% of patients. The mean procedure time and blood loss was 105 minutes and 148 mL, respectively. All subjects required admission to an intensive care unit with a mean hospital stay of 14.6 days. Adjuvant techniques (ie, lumbar drains and induced hypertension) to prevent paraplegia were used in only 7.8% of patients. No patient developed paraplegia despite 63% having complete or partial left subclavian artery coverage and only 9% of those receiving left subclavian artery revascularization. In addition, there were no device compressions or major device events reported. Overall mortality at 30 days was 7.8%, and all were adjudicated by the clinical events committee as not being device or procedure related. Serious adverse events occurred in 39.2% of patients through 30 days. To date, there have been no conversions to open repair. Two site-reported endoleaks were detected during the mean follow-up of 4.2 months, which did not require reintervention. Conclusions: The CTAG device was demonstrated to be a safe and effective treatment for traumatic aortic transection based on 30-day outcomes. There were no device-related serious adverse events.

description: В настоящее время большинству компаний необходимо разрабатывать не просто маркетинговые, а интернет-маркетинговые стратегии. Они создают сайты для подробного описания товара или услуги, а также лендинговые страницы для сбора контактных данных потенциальных клиентов. Лендинги являются универсальным инструментом, однако имеют свои особенности для разных сегментов рынка. Цель статьи - проанализировать лендинговые страницы образовательных сервисов на примере платформ для изучения иностранного языка. Выяснилось, что посадочные страницы в сфере онлайн-образования делают акцент на преимуществах того или иного сервиса, при этом цене продукта уделяется минимальное внимание. Одна из проблем применения лендингов - опасение пользователей оставлять контактные данные. На рынке образовательных услуг это может значительно снизить конверсию. Компании на своих лендинговых страницах могут дать пользователям возможность попробовать предлагаемую услугу без регистрации, а также уделить особое внимание гарантиям результата обучения. В статье предложены рекомендации по оформлению лендингов обучающих сервисов, которые позволят повысить доверие со стороны пользователей и увеличить клиентскую базу.

description: The $H\to gg$ amplitude relevant for Higgs production via gluon fusion is computed in the four-dimensional helicity scheme (FDH) and in dimensional reduction (DRED) at the two-loop level. The required renormalization is developed and described in detail, including the treatment of evanescent $ε$-scalar contributions. In FDH and DRED there are additional dimension-5 operators generating the $H g g$ vertices, where $g$ can either be a gluon or an $ε$-scalar. An appropriate operator basis is given and the operator mixing through renormalization is described. The results of the present paper provide building blocks for further computations, and they allow to complete the study of the infrared divergence structure of two-loop amplitudes in FDH and DRED.

description: The standard method for determining matrix elements in lattice QCD requires the computation of three-point correlation functions. This has the disadvantage of requiring two large time separations: one between the hadron source and operator and the other from the operator to the hadron sink. Here we consider an alternative formalism, based on the Dyson expansion leading to the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, which only requires the computation of two-point correlation functions. Both the cases of degenerate energy levels and quasi-degenerate energy levels which correspond to diagonal and transition matrix elements respectively can be considered in this formalism. As an example numerical results for the Sigma to Nucleon vector transition matrix element are presented.

description: We report the first observation of seasonal modulations in the rates of cosmic ray multiple-muon events at two underground sites, the MINOS Near Detector with an overburden of 225 mwe, and the MINOS Far Detector site at 2100 mwe. At the deeper site, multiple-muon events with muons separated by more than 8 m exhibit a seasonal rate that peaks during the summer, similar to that of single-muon events. In contrast and unexpectedly, the rate of multiple-muon events with muons separated by less than 5-8 m, and the rate of multiple-muon events in the smaller, shallower Near Detector, exhibit a seasonal rate modulation that peaks in the winter.
Enhancement of peritoneal dialysis clearance with docusate sodium

description: A study was done in rabbits to determine the effect of docusate sodium (DSS) on the peritoneal clearance of creatinine and urea. Following a series of control exchanges with a commercially available peritoneal dialysis solution, three animals in each of four groups received DSS (0.005%, 0.01%, 0.02%, or 0.04%) in a single exchange, followed by 10 subsequent exchanges of control fluid. Creatinine and urea clearances were measured for each exchange. Comparison of post-DSS clearances (exchanges 5 through 15) with pre-DSS baseline values (exchanges 1 through 4) showed a mean percent increase in creatinine clearance that was proportional to the concentration and ranged from 74% to 244% above baseline. Similarly, urea clearance increased by 79 to 166%. The effect on both creatinine and urea clearance persisted through the completion of the dialysis procedure. No animals showed signs of toxicity from DSS. The mechanism of the DSS effect on clearance is unknown. Although studies are needed to delineate the mechanism of the effect and to identify potential toxic effects, the results of this study indicate that DSS has a significant effect on clearance of both creatinine and urea.

description: The hadron collider studied in the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project could operate with protons and lead ions in similar operation modes as the LHC. In this paper the potential performances in lead-lead, proton-lead and proton-proton collisions are investigated. Based on average lattice parameters, the strengths of intra-beam scattering and radiation damping are evaluated and their effect on the beam and luminosity evolution is presented. Estimates for the integrated luminosity per fill and per run are given, depending on the turnaround time. Moreover, the beam-beam tune shift and bound free pair production losses in heavy-ion operation are addressed.

We had the opportunity to study iron chelation therapy in an iron overloaded dialysis patient during MHD and subsequently during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment and to determine the effectiveness of iron removal using intravenous and intraperitoneal deferoxamine mesylate (Des-ferol®, Ciba-Giegy, Summit, New Jersey).

description: Thermal Pulse (LTP) stellar evolution models experience a helium pulse that occurs following Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) departure and causes a rapid looping evolution in the HR Diagram between the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) and Planetary Nebula phase (PN). The transient LTP phases only last decades to centuries while increasing and decreasing in temperature, luminosity, and size over orders of magnitude. LTP objects have often been described in the context of their more dramatic counterparts, very late thermal pulses (VLTP). LTP stars do not evolve as quickly and do not become as hydrogen deficient as VLTP objects. They do not become conspicuous until after resembling a Planetary Nebula for thousands of years. We present stellar evolution calculations from the AGB to the PN phase for models over a range of metallicities from, Z = 0.0015 through Z = 0.03, and for masses 0.90 $M_\odot$, 1.2 $M_\odot$, and 2.0 $M_\odot$. We focus in on our most dense series (1.2 $M_\odot$, Z = 0.015) and designate a stratification of late thermal pulse types based on at what temperature they erupt, which may hint at the progenitor mass. We discuss one type that fits neither a LTP nor VLTP, which may offer an explanation for the star FG Sge. We present the timescales during which LTP models heat up until they reach peak helium burning luminosity, during the rapid luminosity decline, and during the period of cooling and brightening, and we briefly discuss four LTP candidates.

Quasi-normal modes: the "electrons" of black holes as "gravitational atoms"? Implications for the black hole information puzzle

description: Some recent important results on black hole (BH) quantum physics concerning the BH effective state and the natural correspondence between Hawking radiation and BH quasi-normal modes (QNMs) are reviewed, clarified and refined. Such a correspondence permits to naturally interpret QNMs as quantum levels in a semi-classical model. This is a model of BH somewhat similar to the historical semi-classical model of the structure of a hydrogen atom introduced by Bohr in 1913. In a certain sense, QNMs represent the "electron" which jumps from a level to another one and the absolute values of the QNMs frequencies "triggered" by emissions (Hawking radiation) and absorption of particles represent the energy "shells" of the "gravitational hydrogen atom". Important consequences on the BH information puzzle are discussed. In fact, it is shown that the time evolution of this "Bohr-like BH model" obeys to a time dependent Schrödinger equation which permits the final BH state to be a pure quantum state instead of a mixed one. Thus, information comes out in BH evaporation, in agreement with the assumption by 't Hooft that Schröedinger equations can be used universally for all dynamics in the universe. We also show that, in addition, our approach solves the entanglement problem connected with the information paradox. We emphasize that Bohr model is an approximated model of the hydrogen atom with respect to the valence shell atom model of full quantum mechanics. In the same way, we expect the Bohr-like BH model to be an approximated model with respect to the definitive, but at the present time unknown, BH model arising from a full quantum gravity theory.

EFFECTS OF PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE ON SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH ECCENTRIC EXERCISE-INDUCED MUSCLE DAMAGE

description: Due to the lack of research, this study aimed to investigate the effects of percussive massage (PM) on maximal isometric torque (MIT), range of motion (ROM), and a numerical rating scale (NRS) of soreness from 24 to 72 h post-eccentric exercise (P-EE). Seventeen healthy, untrained volunteers (14 females and 3 males) performed 60 eccentric elbow flexion actions. Nine participants received 60 s of PM on their nondominant arm’s biceps brachii immediately, 24, 48, and 72 h P-EE, whereas eight participants rested quietly (control [CON]). NRS of soreness, ROM, and MIT were assessed after treatment (AT), in that order, at 24, 48, and 72 h P-EE. NRS was also assessed before treatment (BT) on those visits. Electromyographic and mechanomyographic root mean square (EMGRMS and MMGRMS) values were collected during the MIT. The results indicated that PM did not significantly affect MIT and muscle activation (EMGRMS and MMGRMS). However, the PM group had significantly higher ROM from 24 to 72 h P-EE, returned their ROM to baseline values (48 h) faster than the CON (72 h), and increased their ROM at 72 h from baseline. There was no significant difference in NRS of soreness between groups BT 24 to 72 h P-EE, but the PM group recovered to their baseline (BT 72 h) faster than the CON (never recovered). In addition, the PM significantly reduced NRS from BT to AT within every P-EE visit, which resulted in the PM group having significantly lower values than the CON AT from 24 to 72 h P-EE. In conclusion, after an intense eccentric exercise targeted for the nondominant arm’s biceps brachii, the PM improved ROM without affecting MIT and muscle activation 24 to 72 h P-EE. Additionally, although the PM did not improve the recovery of perceived soreness until 72 h P-EE, it consistently provided immediate, temporary relief when used 24 to 72 h P-EE.
A comparison of gyrochronological and isochronal age estimates for transiting exoplanet host stars

description: Previous studies suggest that tidal interactions may be responsible for discrepancies between the ages of exoplanet host stars estimated using stellar models (isochronal ages) and age estimates based on the stars' rotation periods (gyrochronological ages). We have compiled a sample of 28 transiting exoplanet host stars with measured rotation periods. We use a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo method to determine the joint posterior distribution for the mass and age of each star in the sample, and extend this method to include a calculation of the posterior distribution of the gyrochronological age. The gyrochronological age ($τ_{\rm gyro}$) is significantly less than the isochronal age for about half of the stars in our sample. Tidal interactions between the star and planet are a reasonable explanation for this discrepancy in some cases, but not all. The distribution of $τ_{\rm gyro}$ values is evenly spread from very young ages up to a maximum value of a few Gyr. There is no clear correlation between $τ_{\rm gyro}$ and the strength of the tidal force on the star due to the innermost planet. There is clear evidence that the isochronal ages for some K-type stars are too large, and this may also be the case for some G-type stars. This may be the result of magnetic inhibition of convection. There is currently no satisfactory explanation for the discrepancy between the young age for CoRoT-2 estimated from either gyrochronology or its high lithium abundance, and the extremely old age for its K-type stellar companion inferred from its very low X-ray flux. There is now strong evidence that the gyrochronological ages of some transiting exoplanet host stars are significantly less than their isochronal ages, but it is not always clear that this is good evidence for tidal interactions between the star and the planet.

description: The remote mapping of minerals and discrimination of ore and waste on surfaces are important tasks for geological applications such as those in mining. Such tasks have become possible using ground-based, close-range hyperspectral sensors which can remotely measure the reflectance properties of the environment with high spatial and spectral resolution. However, autonomous mapping of mineral spectra measured on an open-cut mine face remains a challenging problem due to the subtleness of differences in spectral absorption features between mineral and rock classes as well as variability in the illumination of the scene. An additional layer of difficulty arises when there is no annotated data available to train a supervised learning algorithm. A pipeline for unsupervised mapping of spectra on a mine face is proposed which draws from several recent advances in the hyperspectral machine learning literature. The proposed pipeline brings together unsupervised and self-supervised algorithms in a unified system to map minerals on a mine face without the need for human-annotated training data. The pipeline is evaluated with a hyperspectral image dataset of an open-cut mine face comprising mineral ore martite and non-mineralised shale. The combined system is shown to produce a superior map to its constituent algorithms, and the consistency of its mapping capability is demonstrated using data acquired at two different times of day.

description: We consider the partial transpose of the spin reduced density matrix of two disjoint blocks in spin chains admitting a representation in terms of free fermions, such as XY chains. We exploit the solution of the model in terms of Majorana fermions and show that such partial transpose in the spin variables is a linear combination of four Gaussian fermionic operators. This representation allows to explicitly construct and evaluate the integer moments of the partial transpose. We numerically study critical XX and Ising chains and we show that the asymptotic results for large blocks agree with conformal field theory predictions if corrections to the scaling are properly taken into account.

description: It is well established that multiple reference sets may occur for a decision making unit (DMU) in the non-radial DEA (data envelopment analysis) setting. As our first contribution, we differentiate between three types of reference set. First, we introduce the notion of unary reference set (URS) corresponding to a given projection of an evaluated DMU. The URS includes efficient DMUs that are active in a specific convex combination producing the projection. Because of the occurrence of multiple URSs, we introduce the notion of maximal reference set (MRS) and define it as the union of all the URSs associated with the given projection. Since multiple projections may occur in non-radial DEA models, we further define the union of the MRSs associated with all the projections as unique global reference set (GRS) of the evaluated DMU. As the second contribution, we propose and substantiate a general linear programming (LP) based approach to identify the GRS. Since our approach makes the identification through the execution of a single primal-based LP model, it is computationally more efficient than the existing methods for its easy implementation in practical applications. Our last contribution is to measure returns to scale using a non-radial DEA model. This method effectively deals with the occurrence of multiple supporting hyperplanes arising either from multiplicity of projections or from non-full dimensionality of minimum face. Finally, an empirical analysis is conducted based on a real-life data set to demonstrate the ready applicability of our approach.
