description: Lower production rate of solids in attached growth moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) systems as compared to conventional activated sludge (AS) systems makes them an attractive choice for municipal wastewater treatment (Ødergaard et al. 1994). However, the production of biologically-produced solids in MBBR systems is currently not well defined and requires additional investigation. Three identical MBBR reactors were operated under the same dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, influent pH and volume of Anoxkalnes media in two different experimental phases. In the first phase, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) kept constant in three reactors and SALR increased and in the second phase, the SALR was the constant parameter while HRT increased. These two phases were implemented to investigate the effect of variations in HRT and SALR on biologically-produced solids in MBBR reactors. This study demonstrated that HRT and SALR play an important role in settling characteristics of the biologically-produced solids in MBBR systems.

description: This article shows that Freud, even without the resources of linguistic, already conceived the unconscious in terms of language, and that Lacan, by using theoretical tools taken from Saussure and Jakobson, furthered the Freudian conception. Thus, we can say that the formations of the unconscious (the dream, the joke, the slip) and the neurotic symptoms are articulations involving signifiers: the work analyses particularly how mechanisms of oniric elaboration follow the modus operandi of stylistic figures. Laying on the basis of the unconscious as well as of the social order, the language provides the continuity thread between them. / Este artigo mostra que Freud, embora não contasse com os recursos da lingüística, já concebia o inconsciente em termos de linguagem, e que Lacan, usando ferramentas teóricas tomadas a Saussure e Jakobson, aprofundou a concepção freudiana.

O trabalho analisa, em particular, como os mecanismos de elaboração onírica seguem o modus operandi das figuras estilísticas. Estando na base tanto do inconsciente como da ordem social, a linguagem provê o fio de continuidade entre eles.

description: Considering a single bottleneck model of TCP with a constant number of greedy and nonhomogeneous sources, and assuming that TCP timeouts do not occur, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions, related to the bandwidth delay product, to guarantee that the buffer will never empty. We also demonstrate by simulation that weaker conditions could be adequate to maintain high utilization in practice and discuss delay and packet drop rate implications.

description: There is no doubt that the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 is mutating and thus has the potential to adapt during the current pandemic. Whether this evolution will lead to changes in the transmission, the duration, or the severity of the disease is not clear. This has led to considerable scientific and media debate, from raising alarms about evolutionary change to dismissing it. Here we review what little is currently known about the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and extend existing evolutionary theory to consider how selection might be acting upon the virus during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there is currently no definitive evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is undergoing further adaptation, continued, evidence-based, analysis of evolutionary change is important so that public health measures can be adjusted in response to substantive changes in the infectivity or severity of COVID-19.

description: Being able to effectively match energy intake to energy expenditure (EE) is an important aspect in preventing weight re-gain in the post-obese. Although it is generally agreed upon that resting EE decreases concomitantly with weight loss, there is no set standard comparing the deviations with differing weight loss protocols and additionally, controversy remains as to whether this decrease is greater than can predicted. In order to address these issues 2977 subjects were analyzed using a systematic review and the differences of both the protocol and length of various interventions in addition to sex were compared. Next, data was selected from this systematic review and 815 subjects were analyzed for weight loss-induced changes in resting EE, FM and FFM. Another subgroup of studies (n = 1450) was analyzed and compared against the Harris-Benedict prediction equation to determine whether the changes in resting EE were greater than what was expected. Finally, in order to determine which factors may be involved in regulating changes in resting EE during weight loss, a secondary analysis was performed on 28 post-menopausal women (age= 50.4 ± 2.0 yrs; BMI= 32.4 ± 5.2 kg/m²) who were submitted to a 6-month caloric restriction. Body composition (DXA), resting EE (indirect calorimetry), physical activity EE (PAEE) and total EE (TEE) (doubly-labelled water) were measured before and after the 6 month weight loss. Blood samples were collected before and after to measure leptin and peptide YY. The results indicate that there was indeed a depression in resting EE during weight loss regardless of the type of intervention utilized. Furthermore, these findings suggest that the changes could not fully be explained by changes of FM and FFM alone and that leptin may be an important contributor to the changes of resting EE during weight loss.

description: An ongoing challenge for designers of interactive systems is to take into account its various contexts of use. Picture Scenarios, which use photographic stories to depict situations, are one promising technique. An analysis is presented of 31 picture scenarios developed by student design teams, to determine in what ways contextual factors are shown to bear on an interactive task. A continuum of contextual strength emerged: purely interaction; purely functional; weak fusion; strong fusion; purely situation. The significance of this continuum for design is briefly discussed.

RRKM theory and APCI-CID technique

description: In the last several decades, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been the subject of extensive investigation due to their presumed abundance in the interstellar medium (ISM). My thesis concentrated on investigating the dissociation of ionized PAH molecules in the gas phase under similar conditions of the ISM. The twelve PAHs studied were naphthalene (NAP), anthracene (ANT), phenanthrene (PHN), cyclopenta[d,e,f] phenanthrene (CYC), pyrene (PYR), fluoranthene (FLN), perylene (PER) and coronene (COR). In addition, two dihydro PAHs were studied to examine potential intermediates in H2 catalysis, 1,2-dihydronaphthalene (DHN) and 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (DHP), and two stabilized fragments of PAHs, acenaphthylene (ACE), fluorene-H (FLU). These ions were studied using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) to generate the ions and the fragmentation was produced by collision-induced dissociation (CID). The CID experiments were done at different lab frame collision energies to produce breakdown curves for all fragments in each molecule. These curves were fitted by using Rice – Ramsperger-Kassel- Marcus (RRKM) theory to derive the activation energy (E0) at 0K and the entropy of activation (∆‡ S) for each reaction. The primary dissociation channel observed was H loss and this fragmentation channel was a common fragment to all PAHs molecules studied. Also, there were other fragments (CH3, C2H2, C4H2) observed in all of these molecules studied except perylene and coronene. The final step in this project was to compare these results with results derived from imaging photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy (iPEPICO) reported by West and co-workers in order to determine the suitability of the APCI-CID technique for deriving reliable kinetic parameters for this class of ions.

description: La chronique médiatique contemporaine est indissociable de son contexte de production. Un cadre strictement générique ne suffit donc pas à rendre compte de la forme que revêtent aujourd'hui les chroniques. En étudiant l’écologie de production du genre, caractérisée en aval par le pacte conclu entre le chroniqueur et son éditeur et en amont par un narrataire qu’éclaire le courrier du lecteur, nous proposons ici une explication de certains traits caractéristiques du genre – comme la brièveté du texte, l’aspect fragmentaire du propos et le ton de la conversation privilégié par le chroniqueur. Notre étude de quatre recueils de chroniques explore la relation intime mais conflictuelle qu’entretient la chronique avec le temps. François Mauriac, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Gil Courtemanche et Jacques Brault déploient des stratégies variées pour s’acquitter de leur tâche d’écriture périodique, ainsi qu’afin de concilier deux horizons de lecture, dont l’un est immédiat et l’autre dans la durée. Enfin, nos propres chroniques - les Immédiates -, explorent trois thèmes : l’âge adulte, la ville et l’américanité.

Sediment Dynamics and Stratigraphic Architecture of a Lower Silurian Storm-dominated Carbonate Ramp, Anticosti Island, Québec, Canada

description: The upper Llandovery succession across the Jupiter-Chicotte formational contact on Anticosti Island, Québec, allows us to study the sediment dynamics and stratigraphic architecture of a storm-dominated, carbonate ramp. The Anticosti paleotropical ramp was slowly subsiding and recording significant changes in sea level in a far field glacial setting during the early Telychian. Three facies associations, grouping nine facies, are recognized along the E-W outcrop belt, and from top to bottom as the: (FA-1) encrinitic carbonate facies, (FA-2) mixed siliciclastic and carbonate facies, and (FA-3) non-encrinitic carbonate facies. These mid to outer ramp sediments represent deposition mostly from episodic, high-energy storm events as evidenced by hummocky cross-stratification, large wave ripples, gutter casts, and wave-enhanced sediment-gravity flow deposits. Spatial and temporal changes in siliciclastic content imply basin margin depositional environments in the eastern sections and change in climate regime from arid to humid conditions. The Chicotte deposition marks a major faunal change with the domination of crinoids triggered by increasing siliciclastic supply, rapid sea level fluctuations and change in substrates. The recognition of one major transgressive-regressive (TR) sequence subdivided in distinct meter-scale cycles allows a high resolution E-W correlation. The development of the TR sequence and meter-scale cycles is driven by glacio-eustacy where the main sequence is 4th order (~400 Ky) with superimposed meter-scale cycles that are 5th and/or 6th order (~100 Ky). Nevertheless, erosional capping surfaces within the more proximal tempestites represent ancient rocky shorelines that developed during forced sea level falls. In order to explain this stratigraphic architecture, a carbonate open-ramp model is proposed with a concave-up profile and a narrow and steep inner ramp in equilibrium with a high-energy coastline.

description: The aim of this study was to determine the combined effects of high-heeled shoes and load carriage on gait and posture adaptation. Furthermore, the adaptation of gait and posture to the combined two conditions was examined by a comparison of the measured parameters between experienced and novice groups. 30 participants underwent a quantitative measurement of temporospatial, kinematic, and kinetic parameters of hip, knee, and ankle on both loaded and unloaded limbs using 3D motion analysis. Double support time and stride length increased during high-heeled gait and the magnitude of alteration was greater with a load. Increased plantarflexion was main cause of raised heel. Ankle plantarflexor moment increased with high-heeled but decreased with load carriage. As a result, plantarflexor moment diminished, in addition knee extensor moment exaggerated further. Hip extensor moment increased with heel height but not with load weight, however, hip angle was affected only by the load.

description: We present an OPNET model that uses WiMAX technology to send video packets in an advanced inter-vehicle VANET environment. Our work focuses on real-time video streaming. A video model was created based on live traffics trace and then integrated into a WIMAX OPNET model. VANET mobility was modeled with a real world road map and VANET mobility simulators. We integrate an implementable controller over RTP to handle congestion control by setting a framework fit for future road safety development. Different mobility cases are studied and the performance measures such as end-to-end delay, jitter and visual experience are evaluated. Different design considerations are presented to enable designers to effectively build on and develop a realistic video VANET simulation model.

The purpose of this study was to explore the needs and wants of elite coaches from the African and small island regions of the Commonwealth at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Specifically, their development of coaching knowledge and their context was analyzed to understand their needs and wants. Using a knowledge management framework, 19 semi-structured interviews identified the process of combining knowledge as predominant in the development of coaching knowledge within these regions. Tacit knowledge was developed through their social environment, mentorship, and athletic or coaching experience. The need for formal knowledge development opportunities and basic coaching resources were also identified. Finally, technology helped to reduce challenges around accessibility to knowledge, and coach certification programs helped with the transition from athlete to coach.

description: Objectives The objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness of conducting three versus two reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) tests for diagnosing and discharging people with COVID-19 with regard to public health and clinical impacts by incorporating asymptomatic and presymptomatic infection and to compare the medical costs associated with the two strategies. Methods A model that consisted of six compartments was built. The compartments were the susceptible (S), the asymptomatic infective (A), the presymptomatic infective (L), the symptomatic infective (I), the recovered (R), and the deceased (D). The A, L and I classes were infective states. To construct the model, several parameters were set as fixed using existing evidence and the rest of the parameters were estimated by fitting the model to a smoothed curve of the cumulative confirmed cases in Wuhan from 24 January 2020 to 6 March 2020. Input data about the cost-effectiveness analysis were retrieved from the literature. Results Conducting RT-PCR tests three times for diagnosing and discharging people with COVID-19 reduced the estimated total number of symptomatic cases to 45013 from 51144 in the two-test strategy over 43 days. The former strategy also led to 850.1 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) of health gain and a net healthcare expenditure saving of CN¥49.1 million. About 100.7 QALYs of the health gain were attributable to quality-adjusted life day difference between the strategies during the analytic period and 749.4 QALYs were attributable to years of life saved. Conclusions More accurate strategies and methods of testing for the control of COVID-19 may reduce both the number of infections and the total medical costs. Increasing the number of tests should be considered in regions with relatively severe epidemics when existing tests have moderate sensitivity.
The digital services economy: understanding next generation internet users

description: The widespread take-up of broadband, increased media literacy and user sophistication in advanced economies is enabling the development of Internet-based services that feature user-led innovation, group-formation, many-to-many communications and peer collaboration. These new services enable qualitatively different business and social relationships to emerge than were possible using earlier media forms. Interoperability between different platforms using XML and Web services creates the conditions for more fluid forms of interaction to occur between media providers and end users. Advanced search algorithms and lightweight publication protocols like RSS (Really Simple Syndication) have unsettled the established one-to-many broadcast media model. Millions of users with access to these services have the opportunity to personalise their media lifestyle experience by pulling together syndicated, aggregated and customised content. Internet-based services have the potential to radically transform the mass-market media and entertainment sector and re-define traditional value chains of production, distribution and consumption.

description: Cat fostering programs play a critical role in managing and supporting the health and wellbeing of stray, abandoned, or relinquished cats. Most cat fostering programs can only operate with the help of volunteer cat fosterers. Yet, there is comparatively little research on the experiences of cat fosterers. This study aimed to explore the motivations of volunteer cat fosterers, the challenges they experienced in their fostering practice, and what they perceived as the main benefits of cat fostering. We conducted focus group interviews with cat fosterers in Aotearoa New Zealand to answer our research questions. In total, 13 cat fosterers with a range of fostering experience participated in the focus groups. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The primary motivations to become cat fosterers included a general love for animals, wanting an alternative to cat ownership, and the desire to help and make a difference, which was underpinned by altruistic values. Cat fostering is an emotionally challenging role that requires significant time commitment and involves substantial responsibility, which makes it a form of high-stakes volunteerism. Despite the challenges, however, cat fosterers experienced social and emotional benefits along with the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact on their fosters' lives. These benefits fulfill the basic psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness, and competence. The findings have important implications for shelter organizations and for the recruitment, retention, and training of volunteer fosterers.

description: Part A. Chapter 1. The Sharpless epoxidation product from E-4-phenyl-2-butene-1-ol and diethyl D-tartrate was converted into L-($-$)-phenylalanine in three steps. After completion of the above synthesis Sharpless published an extensive study of the synthesis of $\alpha$-amino acids via essentially the same route. Therefore the project was abandoned. Optically active 2-arylpropionic acids such as 2-phenylpropionic acid, 2-napthylpropionic acid, and 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-propionic acid (Ibuprofen) were synthesized in two steps from Sharpless epoxidation products. Part B. Chapter 2. The synthesis of 4-carboethoxy-4,6-dihydro-thieno (3,4-b) thiophene 5,5-dioxide and 4-phenyl analogue, precursors to thiophene xylylenes, are reported. Attempts to trap the carboethoxy substituted xylylene with electron rich or electron poor dienophiles failed and only dimers were produced. In contrast, the phenyl substituted xylylene gave moderate yields of Diels-Alder adducts in trapping experiments with dienophiles such as dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate, dimethyl fumarate, and benzoquinone. Chapter 3. Several additional examples of a conceptually new route to 1,3-dihydrobenzothiophene-2,2-dioxides from $\alpha$-diazo-$\beta$-sulfonyl esters via a formal rhodium carbenoid insertion into an aromatic C-H bond is reported. Our attempts to extend the scope of this reaction to include insertion into furan derivatives failed. We obtained very unusual furan ring opened products. When the same rhodium carbenoid reactions were carried out with $\alpha$-diazo-$\beta$-ketoamides, 2-hydroxy-3-acetylindole derivatives were formed. Chapter 4. In order to gain insight into the rhodium carbenoid reaction mechanism, the diazo precursors to 1,3-dihydrobenzothiophene-2,2-dioxide, 2-indanone, and 2-tetralone which were mono substituted at the ortho position of the aromatic ring were synthesized and the hydrogen/deuterium isotope effects were measured. The observed isotope effects ranged from 3.3-4.9. Furthermore, deuterium NMR indicated that scrambling had occurred during the cyclization step. These data have been interpreted to show that these rhodium carbenoid reactions should be considered as electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

Arc-based-DED (WA-DED) and Laser-powder-based-DED (DED-LB/M). Two compatible
interlayer materials, Ni and Cu, were chosen for the purpose. The Ni interlayer resulted in a
robust, thin SS-Ni interface, but the Al-Ni interface exhibited a thick layer of Al-Ni IMCs. The
Ni interlayer was suitable for smaller structures up to 30 mm in height; after that, the
interface got cracked. However, the Cu interlayer could deposit a structure of a height of 60
mm and produce better mechanical strength in comparison to the Ni interlayer. On the other
hand, the interfacial doping method using Al2O3 powders at the SS-Al interface showed
improved interfacial strength to ~24% higher than the Cu interlayer. The DED-LB/M process
was also explored with and without dopant inclusion. However, the laser-based processes
led to significant residual stresses at the interface, resulting in multiple cracks in both cases.
The research concluded that Al2O3 is the most effective dopant for enhancing structural
integrity between SS and Al in the WA-DED process.

description: In this paper we tell a story about the artist/entrepreneur Mikael Genberg and his trilogy of housing, the Hotel Woodpecker, Otter Inn and Luna Resort which are looked upon as both art installations and acts of entrepreneurship. Taking our point of departure in Genberg and the trilogy of housing, we discuss the content of entrepreneurship by focusing on the following aspects: Creativity versus Imitation, Identity versus Legitimizing, and Opportunity creation versus Discovery recognition. Firstly, from a traditional Schumpeterian perspective Genberg could be portrayed as a very good example of a hero entrepreneur, an archetype of the creative artist/entrepreneur. But instead we have somewhat demystified Genberg and described him in terms of a creative imitator, an everyday characteristic of normal men and women. Secondly, the Schumpeterian 'hero entrepreneur' is associated with a fixed and strong identity, clearly different from the 'normal' individual. This picture of the entrepreneur has dominated entrepreneurship research. Challenging this picture we suggest that the use of double or multiple identities is important in the legitimizing work which is much more illustrative to the content of entrepreneurship than finding the true identity of the hero entrepreneur. Thirdly, we view discovery recognition as attributed to the individual---often linked to the hero entrepreneur---while opportunity creation signifies the process of making discoveries collectively shared. Hence, creativity, discovery recognition and the identity of the entrepreneur form the traditional image of the content of entrepreneurship. In contrast, we suggest that another image is worth taking into consideration if we are interested in broadening our understanding of what is going on in the black box of entrepreneurship. In this image imitation, jointly created opportunities and legitimization are made visible.

“Good Guys”: The Ethical Lives of Gun Owners

description: Gun rights activists in the United States have been incredibly successful in opposing state regulation and restrictions on firearms. Activists argue that violence in the U.S. will subside not through firearm restrictions but by allowing “good” people to continue to buy, possess, and carry guns who will then be able to stop “bad” people from committing violence. Based on participant-observation with a grass-roots, gun rights organization in the state of Georgia, this thesis critically examines what it means to be a “good” gun owner. I argue that gun owners cultivate themselves ethically by learning new skills which disproportionately prioritize anonymous human attacks as the most concerning threat to one’s physical and social integrity. I further show the implications of such a worldview as being enacted in gun owners’ everyday lives.

description: For all but 5 of his 94 years Kenneth Henderson Jack lived, studied, and worked within 10 miles of where he was born, in the North-East of England. Educated in chemistry, he became an X-ray crystallographer. He applied his knowledge of chemistry and his skills in crystallography to the three main areas of materials science: metals, glasses and ceramics. In the 1940s and 1950s he carried out classic studies of the interstitial alloys of the iron–carbon–nitrogen system; between 1957 and 1964, when he worked in industry, he made seminal contributions to glass technology; from 1964 onwards he pioneered a whole new field of oxy-nitride ceramics and glasses, the sialons, and by doing so put his beloved North-East firmly on the international map as a centre of excellence in ceramic science. Ken Jack was fond of saying that, had it not been for World War II, which interrupted his teacher training and took him into university research, he would probably have remained a school teacher and been happy to do so. But, in fact, he did remain a teacher. He was an inspiring lecturer and the researchers who learned their trade by his example went on to lead academic and industrial research groups around the world.
Towards reduction in bias in epidemic curves due to outcome misclassification through Bayesian analysis of time-series of laboratory test results: case study of COVID-19 in Alberta, Canada and Philadelphia, USA

description: Background: Despite widespread use, the accuracy of the diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 infection is poorly understood. The aim of our work was to better quantify misclassification errors in identification of true cases of COVID-19 and to study the impact of these errors in epidemic curves using publicly available surveillance data from Alberta, Canada and Philadelphia, USA. Methods: We examined time-series data of laboratory tests for SARS-CoV-2 viral infection, the causal agent for COVID-19, to try to explore, using a Bayesian approach, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic test. Results: Our analysis revealed that the data were compatible with near-perfect specificity, but it was challenging to gain information about sensitivity. We applied these insights to uncertainty/bias analysis of epidemic curves under the assumptions of both improving and degrading sensitivity. If the sensitivity improved from 60 to 95%, the adjusted epidemic curves likely falls within the 95% confidence intervals of the observed counts. However, bias in the shape and peak of the epidemic curves can be pronounced, if sensitivity either degrades or remains poor in the 60–70% range. In the extreme scenario, hundreds of undiagnosed cases, even among the tested, are possible, potentially leading to further unchecked contagion should these cases not self-isolate. Conclusion: The best way to better understand bias in the epidemic curves of COVID-19 due to errors in testing is to empirically evaluate misclassification of diagnosis in clinical settings and apply this knowledge to adjustment of epidemic curves.

description: Objective: To explore the role of interprofessional collaboration in the delivery of team-based tobacco dependence treatments within primary care. Methods: A narrative review of the literature was completed to examine FHT team functioning in Ontario, followed by a single, multi-site qualitative exploratory case study. Results: Interprofessional collaboration contributed to changes in tobacco dependence treatment through the initiation of system-wide change, cultivation of collective action, and supporting enhanced quality of smoking cessation care. Conclusion: Interprofessional collaboration can enhance the comprehensive delivery of evidence-based treatments for individuals trying to quit smoking. Supportive public policy, education for patients and providers, and evaluation research is needed to advance FHT functioning.

description: This paper identifies two great trends at work during the course of Modernity, and explores the way they unfold in the sexual field: one is linked to the worlds of production and consumption (in economic terms), and the other to the registers of the Symbolic and the Imaginary (in Lacanian psychoanalytic terms). Resonating with Freud’s Civilization and its discontents – the title refers to the psychic burden imposed by the sexual paradigms dominant in Modernity and the contemporary, which associate discontent, respectively, to repression and to the exhaustion of sexuality. These characteristics of contemporary sexuality are illustrated by virtual sex, a current media phenomenon in which consumption and the Imaginary converge as the triumphant tendencies of our era. / Este artigo identifica, ao longo da modernidade, duas grandes tendências em ação ligadas aos mundos da produção e do consumo (em termos econômicos) e aos registros do simbólico e do imaginário (em termos da psicanálise lacaniana), e explora os desdobramentos dessas tendências no terreno sexual. O título – alusão, obviamente, a Civilization and its discontents, título que recebeu em inglês O mal-estar na civilização, de Freud (1974b) – remete ao ônus psíquico embutido nos paradigmas sexuais dominantes durante uma boa parte da modernidade e na contemporaneidade, em que o descontentamento está associado, respectivamente, à repressão e ao esvaziamento da sexualidade. As características da sexualidade contemporânea são ilustradas por um fenômeno midiático contemporâneo, o sexo virtual, para o qual confluem o consumo e o imaginário, aspectos que caracterizam a tendência triunfante de nossa época.

description: The varied impact parameters that characterize an impact to the head have shown to influence the resulting type and severity of outcome injury, both in terms of the dynamic response, and the corresponding deformation of neural tissue. Therefore, when determining head injury risks through event reconstruction, it is important to understand how individual impact characteristics influence these responses. The effect of inbound mass had not yet been documented in the literature. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of inbound mass on the dynamic impact response and brain tissue deformation. A 50th percentile Hybrid III adult male head form was impacted using a simple pendulum system. Impacts to a centric and a non-centric impact location were performed with six varied inbound masses at a velocity of 4.0 m/s. The peak linear and peak angular accelerations were measured. A finite element model, (UCDBTM) was used to determine brain deformation, namely peak maximum principal strain and peak von Mises stress. Inbound mass produced significant differences for peak linear acceleration for centric (F(5, 24) = 217.55, p=.0005) and non-centric (F(5, 24) = 161.98, p=.0005), and for peak angular acceleration for centric (F(5, 24) = 52.51, p=.0005) and non-centric (F(5, 24) = 4.18, p=.007) impact locations. A change in inbound mass also had a significant effect on peak maximum principal strain for centric (F(5, 24) = 11.04, p=.0005) and non-centric (F(5, 24) = 5.87, p =.001), and for peak von Mises stress for centric (F(5, 24) = 24.01, p=.0005) and non-centric (F(5, 24) = 4.62, p=.004) impact locations. These results indicate the inbound mass of an impact should be of consideration when determining risks and prevention to head and brain injury.
