Media use and community among Turkish Australians

description: The last two years have seen an increase in the level of public debate around Islam and what it means to be a Muslim. In Australia nearly all of this commentary has been negative in its portrayal of Islam as a religion of extremists, fundamentalists, terrorists, queue jumpers and gang rapists. At the same time, new technologies have opened up the possibilities for strengthening communities of interest online and creating virtual spaces where minority groups can flourish without fear of persecution. Such virtual communities can contribute a sense of identity and belonging to diasporic communities, as well as reinforcing the very existence of such fragmented social groups. What is perhaps unclear thus far, however, is the role that such communities (‘virtual’, ‘imagined’ or ‘transnational’) play in shaping identity and a sense of belonging alongside existing locally based geographic communities. This paper takes a theoretical look at some of the issues involved in attempting to understand the variety of modern communities in a multicultural society.

description: We explore the cosmological implications of the clustering wedges, ξ⊥(s) and ξ∥(s), of the CMASS Data Release 9 sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. These clustering wedges are defined by averaging the full two-dimensional correlation function, ξ(μ, s), over the ranges 0 < μ < 0.5 and 0.5 < μ < 1, respectively. These measurements allow us to constrain the parameter combinations DA(z)/rs(zd) = 9.03 ± 0.21 and cz/(rs(zd)H(z)) = 12.14 ± 0.43 at the mean redshift of the sample, z = 0.57. We combine the information from the clustering wedges with recent measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB), baryon acoustic oscillations and Type Ia supernovae to obtain constraints on the cosmological parameters of the standard Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) model and a number of potential extensions. The information encoded in the clustering wedges is most useful when the dark energy equation of state is allowed to deviate from its standard ΛCDM value. The combination of all data sets shows no evidence of a deviation from a constant dark energy equation of state, in which case we find wDE = −1.013 ± 0.064, in complete agreement with a cosmological constant. We explore potential deviations from general relativity (GR) by constraining the growth rate f(z) = d ln D(a)/d ln a, in which case the combination of the CMASS clustering wedges with CMB data implies f(z = 0.57) = 0.719−0.096+0.092, in accordance with the predictions of GR. Our results clearly illustrate the additional constraining power of anisotropic clustering measurements with respect to that of angle-averaged quantities.
Models of organizational and managerial capability for the entrepreneurial university in Australia
Creators: name: Cargill, Barbara J.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Prompted by the observation that some Australian universities state that they wish to be entrepreneurial, and appear to be only mildly successful at it, whilst others are entrepreneurial by any measure and yet do not state that aim, this study explores what it means to be an entrepreneurial university in the complex and challenging Australian context. It asks the key question 'What does it take?' in seeking to identify the organisational and managerial capabilities that underpin successful entrepreneurial outcomes with a view to developing a model that can assist senior university executives in their managerial and leadership practice. The study is undertaken in an interpretive, qualitative research framework where an initial model based on a literature synthesis, using the work of Clark as a starting point, is presented to a group of participants. All are either present or recent vice-chancellors, higher education industry experts and bureaucrats, or are senior technology transfer managers concerned with direct entrepreneurial efforts in larger universities. In two iterations, the participants are engaged in dialogue about the model, refining and commenting on it until their views are incorporated and it more closely approximates their own mental models for the practice of entrepreneurship in the university. Their comments about related issues of government policy, current national and international trends, their respective university strategies and concerns are also incorporated to add rich meaning to their views on the model itself. The study concludes that there are five clusters of capabilities involved in building an entrepreneurial university in the Australian setting. They are labelled Context, Strategy, People, Enabling Mechanisms and Culture and Internal Politics in this study. There is some overlap with those elements Clark originally identified but also some notable additional emphasis and detail added. In this study, the capability clusters related to relationship with environment and Context and that relating to Strategy and strategic leadership in general are found to be more important than Clark indicated, more crucial in the present Australian context and generally more underdeveloped in Australia than the current circumstances would indicate is necessary. It is concluded that where entrepreneurship is handled as a marginal, optional, or half-hearted pursuit, and the concept not fully embraced, it is likely to result in haphazard outcomes, not always enhancing or progressing the institution in its desired direction. In contrast, successful entrepreneurship in and by Australian universities essentially requires greater emphasis on the capabilities of strategic management and plans that place entrepreneurship centrally in an integrated strategic entrepreneurship framework.

description: This talk provides an initial account of our ongoing language documentation project, specifically in terms of where Hadza is spoken, who Hadza is spoken by, how Hadza is used. Due to the type of questions we are seeking to answer, which focuses on who speaks Hadza, rather than who has traditionally been characterised as Hadza, the picture of the Hadza people which emerges from our research methodology is strikingly different from many of those previously given. Sketches situating the Hadza language in its social context, and contrasts with past accounts will be drawn throughout. One goal of this talk is linguistic: discussing new findings on a language and speaker community for which there has been little documentation. Another goal is to address past assertions which have systemically erased large portions of the Hadza people.
description: Note: This talk has not gone through a process of peer review, and findings should therefore be treated as preliminary and subject to change.

description: In this contribution, the aspects of reptile and amphibian speciation that emerged from research performed over the past decade are reviewed. First, this study assesses how patterns and processes of speciation depend on knowing the taxonomy of the group in question, and discuss how integrative taxonomy has contributed to speciation research in these groups. This study then reviews the research on different aspects of speciation in reptiles and amphibians, including biogeography and climatic niches, ecological speciation, the relationship between speciation rates and phenotypic traits, and genetics and genomics. Further, several case studies of speciation in reptiles and amphibians that exemplify many of these themes are discussed. These include studies of integrative taxonomy and biogeography in South American lizards, ecological speciation in European salamanders, speciation and phenotypic evolution in frogs and lizards. The final case study combines genomics and biogeography in tortoises. The field of amphibian and reptile speciation research has steadily moved forward from the assessment of geographic and ecological aspects, to incorporating other dimensions of speciation, such as genetic mechanisms and evolutionary forces. A higher degree of integration among all these dimensions emerges as a goal for future research.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS:

Se plantea el caso de una mujer con un cuadro depresivo acompañado de niebla mental, que se incrementa con la primera línea de tratamiento, solventándose posteriormente con un abordaje integral acorde a las últimas líneas de investigación.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO:

Paciente derivada a consultas de Psiquiatría desde Atención Primaria por hipotimia, anergia y anhedonia, que no ha respondido a sertralina. Además, aqueja dificultad atencional y procesamiento de información nueva, problemas mnésicos a corto plazo y sensación de nebulosidad que se incrementaron con este tratamiento, repercutiendo gravemente en la calidad de vida

 

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS

Evaluación clínica y psicopatológica exhaustiva de la paciente, con varias entrevistas en diferentes meses y revisión de la historia clínica junto con TAC, RMN cerebral y analítica sanguínea con resultados dentro de la normalidad.

 

DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL Y TRATAMIENTO

Se diagnostica de Trastorno depresivo mayor, además del diagnóstico sintomático de Niebla mental de probable etiología psicofarmacológica. Como tratamiento se pauta vortioxetina y n-acetilcisteína, con notoria mejoría afectiva y resolución del cuadro sintomático.

 

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES:

La niebla mental es un tema complejo debido a la diversidad, la amplitud de sus manifestaciones, y la dificultad para su diagnóstico y tratamiento, todo ello agravado por una falta de consenso al respecto. Aunque no está reconocida como un trastorno médico independiente, puede surgir en condiciones tanto de noxa orgánica como psiquiátrica, lo que destaca la necesidad de un enfoque multidisciplinario. Además, la amplia gama de síntomas asociados aumenta su complejidad y la necesidad de comprender su etiopatogenia, de la cual, gracias a recientes líneas de investigación, se puede dilucidar una base orgánica con interacciones complejas que no se limita a manifestaciones subjetivas. Respecto al tratamiento, se aboga por un enfoque individualizado adaptado a cada paciente, optando cambiar a un antidepresivo con perfil procogntivo en coadyuvancia con la actividad antioxidante, antiinflamatoria y de modulación del glutamato que aporta la n-acetilcisteína.

 

En definitiva, la niebla mental representa un desafío clínico que requiere de mayor investigación para mejorar la calidad de vida de quienes lo padecen.

description: Background: Evidence for recommendations on the use of volume expansion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in newborn infants is limited. Objectives: To develop a newborn piglet model with asphyxia, hemorrhage, and cardiac arrest to test different volume resuscitation on return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). We hypothesized that immediate red cell transfusion reduces time to ROSC as compared to the use of an isotonic crystalloid fluid. Methods: Forty-four anaesthetized and intubated newborn piglets [age 32 h (12–44 h), weight 1,220 g (1,060–1,495g), Median (IQR)] were exposed to hypoxia and blood loss until asystole occurred. At this point they were randomized into two groups: (1) Crystalloid group: receiving isotonic sodium chloride (n = 22). (2) Early transfusion group: receiving blood transfusion (n = 22). In all other ways the piglets were resuscitated according to ILCOR 2015 guidelines [including respiratory support, chest compressions (CC) and epinephrine use]. One hour after ROSC piglets from the crystalloid group were randomized in two sub-groups: late blood transfusion and infusion of isotonic sodium chloride to investigate the effects of a late transfusion on hemodynamic parameters. Results: All animals achieved ROSC. Comparing the crystalloid to early blood transfusion group blood loss was 30.7 ml/kg (22.3–39.6 ml/kg) vs. 34.6 ml/kg (25.2–44.7 ml/kg), Median (IQR). Eleven subjects did not receive volume expansion as ROSC occurred rapidly. Thirty-three animals received volume expansion (16 vs. 17 in the crystalloid vs. early transfusion group). 14.1% vs. 10.5% of previously extracted blood volume in the crystalloid vs. early transfusion group was infused before ROSC. There was no significant difference in time to ROSC between groups [crystalloid group: 164 s (129–198 s), early transfusion group: 163 s (162–199 s), Median (IQR)] with no difference in epinephrine use. Conclusions: Early blood transfusion compared to crystalloid did not reduce time to ROSC, although our model included only a moderate degree of hemorrhage and ROSC occurred early in 11 subjects before any volume resuscitation occurred.

description: Background: Transposable elements (TEs) can be key drivers of evolution, but the mechanisms and scope of how they impact gene and genome function are largely unknown. Previous analyses revealed that TE-mediated gene amplifications can have variable effects on fungal genomes, from inactivation of function to production of multiple active copies. For example, a DNA methyltransferase gene in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici (synonym Mycosphaerella graminicola) was amplified to tens of copies, all of which were inactivated by Repeat-Induced Point mutation (RIP) including the original, resulting in loss of cytosine methylation. In another wheat pathogen, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, a histone H3 gene was amplified to tens of copies with little evidence of RIP, leading to many potentially active copies. To further test the effects of transposon-aided gene amplifications on genome evolution and architecture, the repetitive fraction of the significantly expanded genome of the banana pathogen, Pseudocercospora fijiensis, was analyzed in greater detail. Results: These analyses identified a housekeeping gene, histone H3, which was captured and amplified to hundreds of copies by a hAT DNA transposon, all of which were inactivated by RIP, except for the original. In P. fijiensis the original H3 gene probably was not protected from RIP, but most likely was maintained intact due to strong purifying selection. Comparative analyses revealed that a similar event occurred in five additional genomes representing the fungal genera Cercospora, Pseudocercospora and Sphaerulina. Conclusions: These results indicate that the interplay of TEs and RIP can result in different and unpredictable fates of amplified genes, with variable effects on gene and genome evolution.

description: Soldiers regularly participate in missions abroad and subjectively adapt to this situation. However, they have an increased lifetime cardiovascular risk compared to other occupational groups. To test the hypothesis that foreign deployment results in different stress habituation patterns, we investigated long-term psychological and bio-physiological stress responses to a repeated social stress task in healthy soldiers with and without foreign deployment. Ninety-one female and male soldiers from the BEST study (German armed forces deployment and stress) participated three times in the Trier Social Stress Test for groups (TSST-G) prior to, 6–8 weeks after and 1 year after the mission abroad and were compared to a control group without foreign deployment during the study period. They completed the State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory scale (STAI), the Primary Appraisal Secondary Appraisal questionnaire (PASA) and the Multidimensional Mood State Questionnaire (MDBF). Salivary cortisol and α-amylase, blood pressure, heart rate and heart rate variability were determined. Soldiers showed mental habituation over the three times with a significant decrease after the TSST-G in anxiousness (STAI) and cognitive stress appraisal (PASA), they were calmer and reported better mood (MDBF). Prior to the social stress part, the mood (MDBF) declined significantly. None of the biological and physiological markers showed any adaptation to the TSST-G. Mission abroad did not significantly influence any measured psychobiological marker when compared to soldiers without foreign deployment. Foreign deployment does not result in alterations in psychobiological social stress response patterns over 1 year after mission abroad which indicates that adaptation to acute social stress is highly maintained in healthy soldiers. The discrepancy between subjective perception and objective stress response has numerous clinical implications and should receive more attention.

description: Background: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is commonly used in epigenome-wide association studies of prenatal exposures. Accounting for cell type composition is critical in such studies as it reduces confounding due to the cell specificity of DNA methylation (DNAm). In the absence of cell sorting information, statistical methods can be applied to deconvolve heterogeneous cell mixtures. Among these methods, reference-based approaches leverage age-appropriate cell-specific DNAm profiles to estimate cellular composition. In UCB, four reference datasets comprising DNAm signatures profiled in purified cell populations have been published using the Illumina 450 K and EPIC arrays. These datasets are biologically and technically different, and currently, there is no consensus on how to best apply them. Here, we systematically evaluate and compare these datasets and provide recommendations for reference-based UCB deconvolution. Results: We first evaluated the four reference datasets to ascertain both the purity of the samples and the potential cell cross-contamination. We filtered samples and combined datasets to obtain a joint UCB reference. We selected deconvolution libraries using two different approaches: automatic selection using the top differentially methylated probes from the function pickCompProbes in minfi and a standardized library selected using the IDOL (Identifying Optimal Libraries) iterative algorithm. We compared the performance of each reference separately and in combination, using the two approaches for reference library selection, and validated the results in an independent cohort (Generation R Study, n = 191) with matched Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting measured cell counts. Strict filtering and combination of the references significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of cell type estimates. Ultimately, the IDOL library outperformed the library from the automatic selection method implemented in pickCompProbes. Conclusion: These results have important implications for epigenetic studies in UCB as implementing this method will optimally reduce confounding due to cellular heterogeneity. This work provides guidelines for future reference-based UCB deconvolution and establishes a framework for combining reference datasets in other tissues.

description: Three crystalline imine‐based 2D polymer films are prepared by surfactant‐monolayer‐assisted interfacial synthesis (SMAIS). The synthetic PI‐2DP films feature polycrystalline multilayers with tunable thickness from 6 to 200 nm and large crystalline domains (100–150 nm in size) and exhibit p‐type semiconductor behavior with a band gap of 1.38 eV. Single‐layer and multi‐layer 2D polyimine films have been achieved through interfacial synthesis methods. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve the maximum degree of crystallinity in the 2D polyimines, which largely limits the long‐range transport properties. Here we employ a surfactant‐monolayer‐assisted interfacial synthesis (SMAIS) method for the successful preparation of porphyrin and triazine containing polyimine‐based 2D polymer (PI‐2DP) films with square and hexagonal lattices, respectively. The synthetic PI‐2DP films are featured with polycrystalline multilayers with tunable thickness from 6 to 200 nm and large crystalline domains (100–150 nm in size). Intrigued by high crystallinity and the presence of electroactive porphyrin moieties, the optoelectronic properties of PI‐2DP are investigated by time‐resolved terahertz spectroscopy. Typically, the porphyrin‐based PI‐2DP 1 film exhibits a p‐type semiconductor behavior with a band gap of 1.38 eV and hole mobility as high as 0.01 cm2 V−1 s−1, superior to the previously reported polyimine based materials.
title: Opportunities for Optimal Apple Production Management in Arid Conditions
Creators: name: Johnson, Sam
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Apple trees are susceptible to biotic and abiotic stresses in the Intermountain West. The arid climate along with non-ideal soils make apple production challenging. Also, as high-quality agricultural land is developed, crop production gets pushed to land that often is saline. Apple trees grow poorly in saline soils. If apples are going to be grown in Utah, rootstocks must be identified that will tolerate saline soils. The USDA rootstock breeding program produced some rootstocks that may show salt tolerance. This project assessed the salt tolerance of these apple rootstocks in the greenhouse and in the field. Test rootstocks were compared to M.9, a widely planted apple rootstock. In greenhouse tests, a near-continuous gradient dosing system was used to screen 19 apple rootstocks for tolerance to calcium chloride salinity. All of the rootstocks showed a decrease in height, fresh weight, and dry weight as salt concentration increased. Three field test locations were used: Kaysville had minimal salt, Goshen had sodium salt, and Tintic had calcium salt. Over two seasons, field studies showed that sodium salts reduced tree height and trunk cross sectional area more than calcium salts. No rootstock performed significantly better than M.9 in either the field or greenhouse.
Bitter pit is a calcium related disorder of apples that often develops in storage. Affected apples have sunken dark spots on the peel and are unmarketable. The incidence of bitter pit is not uniform across apple rootstocks because apple rootstocks vary in their ability to partition calcium to fruit. Apples from 14 rootstocks in the 2014 NC-140 planting were examined for bitter pit incidence following storage at 4°C. In general, vigorous rootstocks showed lower peel calcium and a higher incidence of bitter pit following storage.
Tree suckers can potentially harbor disease and insects in orchards. Removing suckers is important but expensive because of the labor required. Finding other cost-effective ways can help growers. Paraquat, fire, naphthalene acetic acid, and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) were compared along with water for sucker control. UAN provided excellent, but not long lasting, sucker suppression.

description: We report the discovery of a giant H I tail in the intragroup medium of HCG 44 as part of the ATLAS3D survey. The tail is ∼ 300 kpc long in projection and contains ∼ 5 × 108 M⊙ of H I. We detect no diffuse stellar light at the location of the tail down to ∼ 28.5 mag arcsec− 2 in g band. We speculate that the tail might have formed as gas was stripped from the outer regions of NGC 3187 (a member of HCG 44) by the group tidal field. In this case, a simple model indicates that about 1/3 of the galaxy's H I was stripped during a time interval of < 1 Gyr. Alternatively, the tail may be the remnant of an interaction between HCG 44 and NGC 3162, a spiral galaxy now ∼ 650 kpc away from the group. Regardless of the precise formation mechanism, the detected H I tail shows for the first time direct evidence of gas stripping in HCG 44. It also highlights that deep H I observations over a large field are needed to gather a complete census of this kind of events in the local Universe.

description: By any standards, apart perhaps from box-office takings, 2009 was a banner year for Australian films. There were Balibo and Samson and Delilah, Disgrace and Last Ride, but what is really impressive is that three of the most memorable entries in this memorable year were directed by women, in an industry where direction has long been dominated by men.

description: We describe a versatile planar Penning trap structure, which allows one to dynamically modify the trapping configuration almost arbitrarily. The trap consists of 37 hexagonal electrodes, each with a circumcircle diameter of 300 μm, fabricated in a gold-on-sapphire lithographic technique. Every hexagon can be addressed individually, thus shaping the electric potential. The fabrication of such a device with clean room methods is demonstrated. We illustrate the variability of the device by a detailed numerical simulation of a lateral and a vertical transport and simulate trapping in racetrack and artificial crystal configurations. The trap may be used for ions or electrons, as a versatile container for quantum optics and quantum information experiments.

description: Auf dem Weg zu einer rechtlichen Regelung einer Gesamtlärmbetrachtung werden in vorliegender Veröffentlichung folgende Fragestellungen untersucht: - Weiterentwicklung eines Konzeptes zur Gesamtlärmbewertung auf der Grundlage der VDI 3722-2 - Einfluss auf die Gesundheit bei Einwirken mehrerer Geräuschquellenarten - Möglichkeiten der rechtlichen Umsetzung einer Gesamtlärmbetrachtung - Vorschlag für ein Finanzierungsmodell für Maßnahmen bei einer Gesamtlärmbetrachtung - Erweiterung des Datensatzes Musterstadt der DIN 45687 und Erprobung des entwickelten Finanzierungsmodells. Zur Beantwortung der Fragestellungen befasste sich ein interdisziplinäres Team mit aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen zur Wirkung von einzelnen Geräuschquellenarten und Gesamtlärmwirkungen, der RE-Analyse epidemiologischer Untersuchungen, den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für eine Gesamtlärmbewertung und den Methoden für eine praxisgerechte Kostenverteilung von Lärmschutzmaßnahmen sowie deren Erprobung an einer Modellstadt. Zu den einzelnen Fragestellungen wurden Vorschläge erarbeitet, die eine Vertiefung der Gesamtlärmbetrachtung ermöglichen und abschließend zu einem Vorschlag für eine Verwaltungsvorschrift zur Bewertung von Gesamtlärm auf Basis des Substitutionsverfahrens der VDI 3722-2 und mit einem Finanzierungsmodell für Lärmschutzmaßnahmen führt.

description: In pursuit of an approach towards a legal regulation of a total-noise appraisal the present publication addresses the following issues - Further development of a concept for noise assessment on the basis of VDI 3722-2: - Influence of multiple noise on health effects (re-analysis of epidemiological studies) - Possibilities of the legal implementation of a total noise appraisal - Proposal of a financing model for measures in case of an assessment of total noise - Extension of the dataset for the sample city of DIN 45687 and testing of the financing model. In order to answer the questions an interdisciplinary team dealt with the recent research results concerning the impact of individual types of noise and total noise, the RE-analysis of epidemiological studies, the legal environment for an assessment of total noise and methods for a practice-oriented cost distribution of sound insulation measures as well as their testing based on a dataset of a sample city. By dealing with the particular questions proposals are developed to enable a deepening of the total noise appraisal and in the end lead to a recommendation for an administrative regulation for the assessment of total noise on the basis of the substitution procedure of VDI 3722-2 and a financing model for sound insulation measures.

description: For highly configurable software systems, such as the Linux kernel, maintaining and evolving variability information along changes to source code poses a major challenge. While source code itself may be edited, also feature-to-code mappings may be introduced, removed, or changed. In practice, such edits are often conducted ad-hoc and without proper documentation. To support the mainte- nance and evolution of variability, it is desirable to understand the impact of each edit on the variability. We propose the first complete and unambiguous classification of edits to variability in source code by means of a catalog of edit classes. This catalog is based on a scheme that can be used to build classifications that are complete and unambiguous by construction. To this end, we introduce a complete and sound model for edits to variability. In about 21.5 ms per commit, we validate the correctness and suitability of our classification by classifying each edit in 1.7 million commits in the change histories of 44 open-source software systems automatically. We are able to classify all edits with syntactically correct feature-to-code mappings and find that all our edit classes occur in practice.

description: Introduction: Individuals with motor-incomplete SCI (m-iSCI) remain limited community ambulators, partly because they have difficulty with the skilled walking requirements of everyday life that require adaptations in inter-joint coordination and range of motion of the lower limbs. Following locomotor training, individuals with SCI show improvements in skilled walking and walking speed, however there is limited understanding of how adaptations in lower limb kinematics following training contribute to improvements in walking. Objective: To determine the relationship between changes in lower limb kinematics (range of motion and inter-joint coordination) and improvements in walking function (walking speed and skilled walking) following locomotor training. Methods: Lower limb kinematics were recorded from 8 individuals with chronic m-iSCI during treadmill walking before and after a 3-month locomotor training program. Data were also collected from 5 able-bodied individuals to provide normative values. In individuals with SCI, muscle strength was used to define the stronger and weaker limb. Motion analysis was used to determine, hip, knee and ankle angles. Joint angle-angle plots (cyclograms) were used to quantify inter-joint coordination. Shape differences between pre-and post-training cyclograms were used to assess the changes in coordination and their relation to improvements in walking function. Walking function was assessed using the 10MWT for walking speed and the SCI-FAP for skilled walking. Comparing pre- and post-training cyclograms to the able-bodied pattern was used to understand the extent to which changes in coordination involved the recovery of normative motor patterns. Results: Following training, improvements in skilled walking were significantly related to changes in hip-ankle coordination (ρ = − .833, p = 0.010) and knee range of motion (ρ = .833, p = 0.010) of the weaker limb. Inter-joint coordination tended to revert towards normative patterns, but not completely. No relationships were observed with walking speed. Conclusion: Larger changes in hip-ankle coordination and a decrease in knee range of motion in the weaker limb during treadmill walking were related to improvements in skilled walking following locomotor training in individuals with SCI. The changes in coordination seem to reflect some restoration of normative patterns and the adoption of compensatory strategies, depending on the participant.

description: Advanced composite materials have proven to be effective in enhancing the load carrying capacity and to extend the fatigue life of structural elements. Most studies have relied extensively on experimental testing and numerical simulations. It is important to develop some efficient analytical methods for predicting the fatigue behaviour of the composites repaired structures. This paper presents one analytical model for estimating the fatigue crack growth and fatigue life of two-side patched steel plates. This analytical model was verified by comparisons with experimental results.
