description: Gait disturbances are common manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD), with unmet therapeutic needs. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are capable of monitoring gait, but they lack neurophysiological information that may be crucial for studying gait disturbances in these patients. Here, we present a machine learning approach to approximate IMU angular velocity profiles and subsequently gait events using electromyographic (EMG) channels during overground walking in patients with PD. We recorded six parkinsonian patients while they walked for at least three minutes. Patient-agnostic regression models were trained on temporally embedded EMG time series of different combinations of up to five leg muscles bilaterally (i.e., tibialis anterior, soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, gastrocnemius lateralis, and vastus lateralis). Gait events could be detected with high temporal precision (median displacement of <50 ms), low numbers of missed events (<2%), and next to no false-positive event detections (<0.1%). Swing and stance phases could thus be determined with high fidelity (median F1-score of ~0.9). Interestingly, the best performance was obtained using as few as two EMG probes placed on the left and right vastus lateralis. Our results demonstrate the practical utility of the proposed EMG-based system for gait event prediction, which allows the simultaneous acquisition of an electromyographic signal to be performed. This gait analysis approach has the potential to make additional measurement devices such as IMUs and force plates less essential, thereby reducing financial and preparation overheads and discomfort factors in gait studies.

Subjects: Computational methods in fluid flow, heat and mass transfer (incl. computational fluid dynamics)

description: This thesis conducts a numerical investigation of a distinctive mode of natural convection, known as horizontal convection, where heating and cooling happens at the same bottom boundary. This study emphasises the flow characteristics of the very shallow enclosures, which allows elucidating the ocean-relevant confinement on horizontal convection. The results from this study provide significant insights on the fundamental concepts of horizontal convection, particularly the inclusion of aspect ratio with the Nusselt number and Rayleigh number scaling, which proposed modified governing parameters to understand the characteristics of the buoyancy-driven flow better.

description: Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a major air pollutant with diverse impacts on human health and the environment. In urban areas, road traffic is the main emission source for NO2. In Berlin, Germany, a network of measurement stations is operated by the state, fulfilling the monitoring requirements set by the European Union. To get a more detailed overview of the spatial distribution of NO2 concentrations in Berlin, a citizen science project allowed for collection of additional data and an increase in the number of sampling sites. Passive samplers (modified Palmes tubes) were distributed to participants to collect NO2 at a site of their choice. When returned, the samplers were analyzed based on the Griess–Ilosvay reaction and spectrophotometric detection. The results confirmed a seasonal trend of higher NO2 concentrations in winter and lower concentrations during the summer period. Furthermore, the spatially and monthly averaged NO2 concentrations observed in the study period from March 2019 to October 2020 were in good agreement with the average urban background concentration. At small spatial scales, a tendency of decreasing NO2 concentrations with increasing distance from roads was observed. Overall, this study shows the added benefit of extensive low-cost measurements of NO2 concentrations across urban environments in a citizen science project to complement stationary air pollution monitoring networks.
Optimization of Pre-liming and Sulphitation pH of Cane Juice on Clarification
Creators: name: Asfaw, Girum
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: This study was conducted at Finchaa Sugar Factory to determine the optimum conditions of preliming and sulphitation pH which could result in best cane juice clarification. Two cane varieties, which cover about 70 % of total cane population of the estate namely, N - 14 and NCO - 334 were selected and studied. Mixed juice samples of five liters were taken and the pH was adjusted to constant pH 5.4. The phosphate content of the mixed juice differs from sample to sample and the deficiency was adjusted to 300 mg/l by adding a calculated amount of phosphoric acid in to the mixed juice in a clarification kit. When the temperature reached to 75 C, milk of lime (MOL) was added until the pH became according to the run order, followed by injection of SO2 gas till the pH of the juice became to the corresponding run order and then the 3 mg/L flocculants was added at 90°C. Mixing of the juice was terminated after the addition of the 3 mg/l flocculant (as per the factory norm) and then the juice heating process was continued until it gets boiled. The hot treated juice was flashed to remove dissolved air and after all these treatments, the juice sample was taken and placed in to separate graduated cylinders of 1000 ml capacity for settling. From the graduated cylinders, clear juice samples was taken and analyzed for Brix, Pol, reducing sugar, calcium oxide, color and turbidity. The response parameters determined include turbidity, ICUMSA color, purity rise, calcium oxide content and reducing sugar of clear juice. The data obtained from the comparative experiments were subjected to statistical analysis using JMP statistical and Central Composite Design (CCD )software whereby the significance was set at 5% level. Turbidity, color, and purity rise were used as a main parameter to evaluate the cane juice clarification efficiency. The superimposed of main parameter contour plots and the prediction profile with maximum desirability function gave the following optimized figures for N-14 cane variety. With optimum liming pH 8.792 and sulphiting pH 7.016 which gave a turbidity value of 618.6 IU, a color of 6646 IU and a purity rise of 1.68. The optimum liming pH and sulphiting pH for NCO – 334 cane variety were 8.920 and 7.001 respectively and gave a turbidity of 550 IU, a color of 5874 IU and purity rise of 1.85. In all cases NCO -334 seems superior and easy in juice clarification process. These optimum conditions can allow an increased productivity, low color sugar, minimize sugar loss at Finchaa sugar factory. Key words: Liming, Sulphiting, Flocullant, Turbidity, Purity rise and ICUMSA
A new migration mechanism for oversized solutes in cubic lattices: correlation effects

description: Recent ab-initio calculations showed that oversized solute atoms (OSA) in BCC and FCC iron exhibit a very strong attraction with a nearby vacancy (V) at first neighbour distance (1NN). The attraction it is so large that the 1NN pair OSA+V is no longer stable and relaxes spontaneously towards a new configuration where the OSA sits in the middle of the bond, the two ends of which are decorated with two half-vacancies (V/2). Taking into account the formation of this complex V/2+OSA+V/2 in the migration process has never been done before: it requires a new formulation of correlation effects. This is the aim of the present contribution which establishes the expression of the diffusion coefficient of the OSA and evaluates exactly the correlation factor in BCC and FCC lattices, thanks to the introduction of macrojumps. The formalism is applied to the case of Y in BCC iron and its results are compared to those obtained by previous authors. It is shown that the smallness of the correlation factor is not due to the transport mechanism of the OSA but only to the jump frequencies of the vacancy in the vicinity of the OSA. This smallness of the correlation factor is however overcompensated by a large macrojump frequency, and, as a result, the Y atom diffuses more rapidly than iron at all temperatures by orders of magnitude in the two structures.

description: Topology and many-body localization (MBL) have opened new avenues for preserving quantum information at finite energy density. Resonant delocalization plays a crucial role in destabilizing these phenomena. In this work, we study the statistical properties of many-body resonances in a disordered interacting Ising model - which can host symmetry protected topological order - using a Clifford circuit encoding of the real space renormalization group which allows the resonant properties of the wave functions to be efficiently characterized. Our findings show that both the trivial and topologically ordered MBL phases remain stable to the resonances, but in the vicinity of the transition between them localization is destabilized by resonance proliferation. Diverging susceptibility towards the development of an avalanche instability suggests an intervening ergodic phase. We are also able to access the local integrals of motion in the MBL phases and identify the topological edge-mode operators in the ordered phase. Our results have important implications for the stability of MBL and phase transitions between distinct MBL phases with and without symmetries.

description: With the growing demand for customised products and sustainable solutions, metal 3D-printing technology has altered how companies produce nearly everything. The nature of the process generates materials with distinct properties from traditional manufacturing methods. In this project, the corrosion properties of 3D-printed 316L stainless steel were evaluated in detail. Due to its excellent durability, this material has been widely used in several critical applications for several decades, such as bio-implants. Therefore, understanding the impact of 3D printing on the properties becomes crucial to minimise failures. The findings herein may assist in its future implementation.

description: In optomechanics, electromagnetic fields are harnessed to control a single mode of a mechanically compliant system, while other mechanical degrees of freedom remain unaffected due to the modes' mutual orthogonality and high quality factor. Extension of the optical control beyond the directly addressed mode would require a controlled coupling between mechanical modes. Here, we introduce an optically controlled coupling between two oscillation modes of an optically levitated nanoparticle. We sympathetically cool one oscillation mode by coupling it coherently to the second mode, which is feedback cooled. Furthermore, we demonstrate coherent energy transfer between mechanical modes and discuss its application for ground-state cooling.

Optimization of Process Parameters for Production of Honey powder from Ethiopian Honey By Spray-drying: a case study on its application in Bread
Creators: name: Berhanu, Abera
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The study was conducted with the objective of optimizing process parameters for production of honey powder by spray drying, characterizing the powder, and using it as a substitute for sugar in bread formulations. Experimental design with inlet temperature (150 to 190 °C), feed flow rate (5–15ml/min), aspirator rate (80 to 100%) and gum Arabic ratio to liquid honey (20 to 60%) as independent variables was studied to investigate the effect on product responses. RSM was used to optimize process parameters. The spray dried honey powder was characterized for Moisture content, Particle size distribution, Hygroscopicity test and yield. Four bread formulations were prepared with 100% of sugar liquid honey (LH), 50% substitution of sugar with honey powder (HP50%) and 100% honey powder (HP100%) and control. Breads produced from all four formulations were analyzed for loaf volume, weight loss, density, specific volume, moisture content, and texture. The dried honey powders contained moisture content between 4.01%and 6.31%, particle size between5.16μm and 5.76μm, hygroscopicity between 22.10and 25.65g /100g and powder yield between 5.12g and 9.45g. Among the bread samples HP100% showed highest loaf volume (mL) at 2055±65.14 while HP50%, LH and control showed decreasing loaf volumes at 1907±189.45, 1887±96.21 and 1800, respectively. All bread samples showed an increase in firmness and HP100% had a lower rate of staling than the other bread samples during storage. The study demonstrated that spray dried honey powder with retrograded starch could be used as a substitute for sucrose in baking bread. Keywords: Honey powder; retrograded starch; optimization; response surface methodology; spray drying, Gum Arabic.
Surface precipitation on engineering alloys
Creators: name: DINH, THANG VU
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Metals and alloy materials

description: A new surface treatment process, termed as “Surface precipitation”, is presented in this thesis. Surface precipitation requires heat treatment steps to induce a uniform pattern of solid-state precipitates on the external surface of engineering alloys. This thesis focuses on exploring potential applications of surface precipitation to modify the surface properties of engineering alloys. Surface precipitation is applied to provide sacrificial cathodic protection for Aluminium (Al) alloys. Building from this work, the effect of surface precipitates on the stress corrosion cracking resistance of Al alloys is investigated. A “proof of concept” application of surface precipitation to enhance catalytic performance for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on engineering alloys is also studied in this project.

description: Higher-order networks can sustain topological signals which are variables associated not only to the nodes, but also to the links, to the triangles and in general to the higher dimensional simplices of simplicial complexes. These topological signals can describe a large variety of real systems including currents in the ocean, synaptic currents between neurons and biological transportation networks. In real scenarios topological signal data might be noisy and an important task is to process these signals by improving their signal to noise ratio. So far topological signals are typically processed independently of each other. For instance, node signals are processed independently of link signals, and algorithms that can enforce a consistent processing of topological signals across different dimensions are largely lacking. Here we propose Dirac signal processing, an adaptive, unsupervised signal processing algorithm that learns to jointly filter topological signals supported on nodes, links and triangles of simplicial complexes in a consistent way. The proposed Dirac signal processing algorithm is formulated in terms of the discrete Dirac operator which can be interpreted as "square root" of a higher-order Hodge Laplacian. We discuss in detail the properties of the Dirac operator including its spectrum and the chirality of its eigenvectors and we adopt this operator to formulate Dirac signal processing that can filter noisy signals defined on nodes, links and triangles of simplicial complexes. We test our algorithms on noisy synthetic data and noisy data of drifters in the ocean and find that the algorithm can learn to efficiently reconstruct the true signals outperforming algorithms based exclusively on the Hodge Laplacian.

description: We study a two-species Bose-Einstein condensates confined in quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) optical lattices at finite temperatures, employing the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with the Popov approximation. We examine the role of thermal fluctuations on the ground-state density distributions, and the quasiparticle mode evolution. At zero temperature, the geometry of the ground-state in the immiscible domain is side-by-side. Our results show that the thermal fluctuations enhance the miscibility of the condensates, and at a characteristic temperature the system becomes miscible with rotationally symmetric overlapping density profiles. This immiscible-miscible transition is accompanied by a discontinuity in the excitation spectrum, and the low-lying quasiparticle modes such as slosh mode becomes degenerate at the characteristic temperature.

description: In recent years, new types of polymer gels have emerged, which have a controllable network structure and few topological defects. These near-ideal polymer networks constitute a good model system to revisit the long-standing problem of structure-property relationships in polymer networks. We develop a novel, mesoscale computational approach based on random Discrete Networks (DNs). The variable structure of DN allows the investigation of different network features on the network elasticity. We obtain numerical scaling relationships between network parameters and elastic properties. The scaling relationships are used to probe the evolution in the network structure of tetra-PEG gels with different preparation conditions.

description: Fundamentally binary theories are nonsignaling theories in which measurements of many outcomes are constructed by selecting from binary measurements. They constitute a sensible alternative to quantum theory and have never been directly falsified by any experiment. Here we show that fundamentally binary theories are experimentally testable with current technology. For that, we identify a feasible Bell-type experiment on pairs of entangled qutrits. In addition, we prove that, for any n, quantum n-ary correlations are not fundamentally (n-1)-ary. For that, we introduce a family of inequalities that hold for fundamentally (n-1)-ary theories but are violated by quantum n-ary correlations.

description: Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most frequent pathologies in which antibiotics are used because 50% of the exacerbations are attributable to a bacterial infection. The aims of our study were: i)to perform a meta-analysis on the efficacy of the bacterial lysate OM-85 BV in preventing acute exacerbations in patients with COPD; ii) to evaluate whether this preventive treatment can lead to significant savings for the National Health Service (NHS). Methods A systematic research was conducted in the electronic database MEDLINE (PubMed) in June 2017-July 2020, collecting evidences without time restrictions. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. The keywords used were "OM 85 BV AND chronic bronchitis" and "OM 85 BV AND COPD". We realized the cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) considering the costs for a treatment with OM-8BV, the costs for the treatment of an acute exacerbation and the number of prevented exacerbations. Results 59 publications were found, but the meta-analysis was conducted on 13 studies conducted between 1981 and 2015.OM-85 BV is responsible of a statistically significant reduction in the mean number of COPD exacerbations (p <0.01; WMD -0.86;CI 95% -1.38, -0.34) and in the days of antibiotic therapy (p <0.01; WMD -9.49;CI 95% -11.93, -7.05). The cost-effectiveness ratio with a negative value is in favor to treatment. Conclusions OM-85 BV is effective in reducing exacerbations, and could lead to significant savings for the NHS. Moreover, reducing the number of exacerbations it avoids an over-use of antibiotics and the consequent antibiotic resistance.

Subjects: Structural engineering

description: Concrete crack, which signifies the decrease of the structural reliability and integrity, is commonplace. Human-based visual inspection is currently involved to address the development of the surface cracks. However, this practice is highly subjective and unreliable. Through the research work, an image-based algorithm for concrete crack detection and quantification methods was developed. Moreover, experiments were conducted to verify the performance of the proposed FCN algorithm and to convert the measurement scale from pixels to millimetres, which in turns will facilitate a meaningful structural evaluation process.

description: Nitrite is a carcinogenic substance and its measurement in water samples is important to protect mankind. Here we have introduced a simple and inexpensive fluidic system for the online determination of nitrite in water samples. For this purpose, a highly sensitive, optical flow cell detector was fabricated and used in a fluidic system to prepare a compact unit for nitrite monitoring. Safranin solution in acidic media was used in the system for the sensitive and selective determination of nitrite. In acidic media, nitrite reacted with safranin to form a diazonium salt which caused the dye in the solution to change from reddish-orange to blue. The safranin solution absorbance, which is related to nitrite concentration, was monitored by the fabricated photometer with the flow detector at 525 nm. Water samples were processed to evaluate the effectiveness of both the introduced system and the analytical procedure. Good analytical performance was obtained, including a linear response from 0.3 up to 3 mg/l nitrite (r = 0.9918) with a detection limit of 0.1 mg/l and a relative standard deviation of 4.24% (n = 10), using the proposed setup.

description: Background: The advent of an effective novel COVID-19 vaccine could extinguish the current devastating pandemic but the vaccine hesitancy is a hurdle for the public health system. Objective: This study estimated the COVID-19 vaccination intention and the determinants among the healthcare workers, the priority target group for the COVID-19 vaccine in India. Design: A web-based cross-sectional survey design was used in this study. Setting and participants: The study was conducted among the healthcare workers in Chandigarh, a union territory in North India, using a Snowball sampling technique. A total of 403 healthcare workers participated in the study between 2nd and 25th January 2021. Methods: The primary data collected were the intention to get vaccinated against the available COVID-19 vaccine and the concerns regarding the new vaccines. The attitude towards the novel COVID-19 vaccine was assessed using the developed Vaccine attitude examination scale. These questionnaires, which were delivered via WhatsApp, was filled by the participants over Google forms. Results: Among the 403 respondents surveyed, the majority (54.6%) reported they were definitely intended to get vaccinated against COVID-19, however, 7% expressed a resistance for inoculation with COVID-19 vaccination. The perceived susceptibility (aOR=0.511, CI 0.265-0.987) and severity of COVID-19 infection (aOR=0.551 CI 0.196-0.704) and not being concerned about the efficacy of new COVID-19 vaccines (aOR= 0.702 CI 1.109-26.55) were found to have the highest significant odds of intention to take the COVID-19 vaccine. The majority (62%) were concerned about the safety of the vaccine, in terms of side-effects, quality control, and doubted efficacy of the vaccine. The mistrust of the benefits of the vaccine is a significant predictor for vaccine hesitancy among the healthcare workers (aOR=5.205 CI 3.106-8.723). Conclusion: Therefore, strategic communication and vaccine-acceptance programs should be formulated in order to combat the prevailing mistrust on the vaccine safety and efficacy and attain effective coverage to gain herd immunity.

description: This study was conducted to generate base line information on nutritional composition, physicochemical and functional properties of three capsicum varieties which are grown in Ethiopia. In relation to proximate composition, Marako fana (Capsicum annum), Bako local (Capsicum annum) and Oda haro (Capsicum annum) contained 9.156%, 9.043% and 8.744% moisture, 11.809%, 8.728% and 9.210% crude protein, 27.264%, 25.966% and 28.566% crude fiber, 11.1625%, 9.518% and 9.147% oleoresin, 89.011 mg/100g, 84.011 mg/100g and 84.818 mg/100g vitamin C, 1.685 mg/100g, 1.670 mg/100g and 1.754 mg/100g potassium, 27.156 mg/100g, 38.205 mg/100g and 54.565 mg/100g calcium and 7.236 mg/100g, 6.876 mg/100g and 9.554 mg/100g iron on wet weight basis. In case of physicochemical properties, functional properties and antinutritional factors, Marako fana, Bako local and Oda haro contained 648331 ICU, 520687 ICU and 478085 ICU color value, 0.217 %, 0.174% and 0.161% capsacinoide, 0.034%, 0.022% and 0.021% paprika, 13.96 N/pod, 4.66 N/pod and 4.21 N/pod firmness and 8.667%, 9.667% and 10.333% gel formation capacity 0.142 mg/100g, 0.164 mg/100g and 0.148 mg/100g tannin and phytate was below detection. The analysis of variance and LSD test done on the above results at P< 0.05 revealed that protein, oleoresin, color value, paprika content, firmness and gel forming capacity of Marako fana were significantly higher than the other two varieties while its tannin content was less. Potassium, calcium and iron content of Oda haro were significantly higher than the rest two varieties. But all the three varieties had comparable moisture, fiber, vitamin C and capsacinoide. Hence, Marako fana is preferable for large scale production of oleoresin and paprika. It is good coloring agent and can be used in food formulation like sauces in a better maner. Oda haro is nutritionally preferable for its potassium, calcium and iron. All have comparable pungency.

description: We present a new structure preserving Lanczos algorithm for approximating the optical absorption spectrum in the context of solving full Bethe--Salpeter equation without Tamm--Dancoff approximation. The new algorithm is based on a structure preserving Lanczos procedure, which exploits the special block structure of Bethe--Salpeter Hamiltonian matrices. A recently developed technique of generalized averaged Gauss quadrature is incorporated to accelerate the convergence. We also establish the connection between our structure preserving Lanczos procedure with several existing Lanczos procedures developed in different contexts. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our Lanczos algorithm.
