description: Using unpublished data from an original study by Turner et al. (2010a), the relationship between first morning void (FMV) and 24-hour urine collections was examined in UK adults to determine if FMV collections provide a reasonable estimate of DON intake compared to 24-hour collections. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was computed to evaluate variability in DON concentrations and generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to assess the relationship between collection types. Greater between-person variability was observed in 24-hour collections, unadjusted and adjusted for creatinine (ICC=0.78 and 0.56, respectively). GEE models suggest urinary DON concentrations in FMV collections were strongly correlated with 24-hour collections (r=0.78, p<0.0001), meaning FMV collections may provide just as reasonable an estimate of DON intake compared to 24-hour collections when adjusting for age, sex, and BMI. These results strengthen the methodology behind exposure biomarkers and urinary assays when estimating DON intake.

description: The assessment of water quality is an important aspect of environmental management. One method commonly applied is the Water Quality Index. The index consists of a group of experimental formulae used for calculating the overall quality of the water environment. In Vietnam, the water quality index is used to calculate water quality based on nine measured parameters, and was officially sanctioned as the standard method for assessing water quality in 2011.

In this study another method, adopting the fuzzy logic concept for calculating water quality, is applied. This method has the advantage of dealing with an unlimited number of quality parameters, and can allocate quality classes by calculating quantitative data obtained through monitoring water quality at a number of monitoring sites. However, the method has some limitations such as data loss during the evaluation, and uncertainties due to the method not considering the overall physical environment of the catchments that feed water into the monitoring sites.

Fuzzy comprehensive analysis comprises of two main parts: the fuzzy membership and the weights. This study applied the simplest and most used membership function which is triangular and semi-trapezoidal shape, and three different methods of assigning weights: Entropy, Overweight standard and F-statistic for testing the quality of water in the study area, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in South-East Asia, using the monitored quality dataset in 2015. It showed big differences among the results when tested with different weighting methods which is the uncertainty of the Fuzzy method.

Therefore, Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques including computer-based sub-watershed delineation modelling using a geographic hydrological model, and geographical regression models, including Ordinary Least Square and Geographically Weighted Regression models, were applied to reduce the uncertainty in the fuzzy process. Results of this study demonstrate the model’s applicability and capability for use in water quality evaluation. From the results, an integrated assessment comprising fuzzy and GIS methods is developed for better assessment of the water quality and therefore contributing to the better management.

Short paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.5194/agile-giss-2-31-2021, 2021 Short paper abstract: Most research activities in Earth System Sciences (ESS) are data-driven. There is a growing need to establish innovative, cross-cutting data management and data analysis methods in ESS to support the collaboration of interdisciplinary research building on heterogeneous sources. Data management plans (DMPs) are structured documents that outline data handling and include for instance agreements on roles, specifications of data products, and definition of workflows. However, the structure of existing DMP templates is mostly designed for funder’s requirements and consequently address only the broad and interdisciplinary research community. Thus, these templates do lack (1) guidance on how to structure domain-specific information in a DMP – by providing domain-specific profiles, e.g. to harmonize the structure and improve the comprehensibility of DMP instances and (2) (linking into) tools enabling efficient management and reuse of information / sections of DMP instances. Therefore, we provide a concept of future DMP templates and address geo-domain-specific requirements, and the integration of DMPs into research data infrastructures. We recommend integrating structured provenance and quality information, using established concepts, and define a pathway to link tools into research data infrastructures, such that they foster automation of data management workflows and data reuse.

subject: Marketing theory

description: Theoretical developments in branding literature are challenging traditional organization centric models of brand meaning management. Additionally, service-dominant (S-D) logic with its foundational premises based on collaboration in markets and mutually cocreated service outcomes, suggests the need for more consumer-centric and participative perspectives on brand meaning management. Concurrently, firms are faced with markets characterized by networks of social and economic actors engaging in ongoing service and social interactions from which brand meaning emerges and evolves. Despite this, empirical investigations are lacking into how multiple actors cocreate brand meaning. Managers lack empirical insights on key factors in this process such as the actors, resources and nature of interactions that contribute to cocreated brand meaning outcomes; insights that would support effective strategic choices for involvement in and facilitation of the process.

Within this context, this research advances marketing theory in three ways. First, brand meaning cocreation (BMCC) is conceptualized as the process leading to brand meaning. This conceptualization provides theoretical clarity on units of analysis in terms of resources, actors, and interactions that unfold in the process. Second, eight consumer practices through which consumers contribute to BMCC at nano (e.g. individual reflection), micro (e.g. service exchange), meso (e.g. user communities), or macro (e.g. socio-cultural networks) context levels in the service ecosystem are identified and organized into three higher order aggregates based on consumer brand meaning outcome goals. This helps researchers and practitioners understand how consumers cocreate and evolve brand meaning through multiple interactions over time and space. Third, eight organizational practices are identified that are framed by socially constructed rules, norms and values and designed to facilitate the process of BMCC. The findings from this research undertaken in the context of the Vietnamese retail banking market provide early empirical evidence for how and why consumers and firms engage in brand meaning cocreation. Overall, the findings show how the BMCC process operates and how firms can leverage competitive advantage by facilitating mutually beneficial BMCC experiences.

Lateral Capsule Migration in Microfluidic Channels

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Engineering
subject: Capsules
subject: Fluid dynamics
subject: Lateral Migration

description: A capsule motion inside a microfluidic channel has attracted a lot

of attention in recent decades owing to its important applications in

industrial, pharmaceutical and physiological systems such as in cell

sorting, targeted drug delivery and  blood flow. In this dissertation, we

computationally investigate an elastic capsule's lateral migration inside

a constricted microfluidic device under Stokes flow conditions.  We use

the Membrane Spectral Boundary Element (MSBE) method to determine the

capsule dynamics due to its high computational accuracy and versatility

in dealing with complex solid geometries.

In the bounded Poiseuille flow of the microfluidic constriction, a capsule,

placed initially off-centered will migrate away from the wall

and move toward the channel centerline.  The capsule's lateral migration

behavior is caused by the combination of the wall effects due to the

existence of the channel boundary, the shear gradient generated by the

non-linear velocity distribution of the flow, and the lift force created

by the capsule deformation. We use a constricted device instead of

a straight channel to do the simulations, because the capsule's lateral

migration in a straight channel is too slow to be observed easily, while

the existence of the converging connection of the constricted device

increases the capsule's lateral velocity and thus facilitates its migration.

The main goal of our research is to investigate the effects of the capsule's

physical properties on its lateral migration behavior. We released various

deformable capsules at different initial positions, membrane hardness,

viscosity ratios, and capsule volumes inside the constricted channel

and computed their deformation behavior and migration trajectories. Our

results show that changing a capsule's viscosity ratio or the membrane

hardness does not strongly affect the capsule's lateral migration due

to the capsule's weak inner circulation. On the other hand, changing

the capsule's initial position and capsule volume strongly affect its

migration trajectories. Thus soft particles with different sizes can

be separated and identified.

description: Advances in the development of rolled-sheet magnetostrictive materials led to testing of a prototype wireless magneto-elastic torque (WiMET) sensor using the iron alloy Galfenol. As torque was applied to a shaft, stress-induced changes in the magnetic state of Galfenol that was bonded to the shaft were proportional to the applied torque. Building on that work, this thesis investigates strategies to improve both repeatability and the signal to noise ratio of WiMET sensor output. Multi-physics models of WiMET stress and magnetic states under applied torques are used to improve understanding of sensor operation. Testing to validate simulations is performed using Galfenol and Alfenol, a newer rolled-sheet alloy, for torsional loads of 0 – 200 in-lb, and under quasi-static and dynamic (0 – 2000 RPM) loading conditions. The experimental results presented support the potential of WiMET sensor use for dynamic torque measurement and health monitoring of drive train systems.

description: Oxford defines culture as ideas, customs, and social behaviors of a particular people or society; the attitudes and behavioral characteristics of a certain social group. For the most part this is good; that is the culture you identify with can give one, but not always, identity, tradition, beliefs, etc. Since birth, these sets of ideas permeate through interactions, wither that is with people, with objects, or with society's concepts, thus, culture is adopted and world view is formed.

Space, as a comparison, is the state of architecture, or lack thereof, at birth; pure and blank. Humanity, as survival necessitated, shaped, limited, and defined space while simultaneously imbuing meaning that characterize it; the cave has one opening, the tipi has a center hearth, the church has a spire. These arrangements, so culturally ingrained, start to visually define each building type respectively. Architecture, as a result, is then experienced inattentively; instead of being contemplated it is scanned, instead of absorbed it is passed. This thesis, in an attempt to jar this process, takes the unique opportunities of verticality to explore and challenge the conventions of the model type. Not to endanger the cultural lens but to engage it and make it apparent to the user.

description: For the preliminary design of a turbomachine, it is imperative to have an approach for estimating the machine characteristics based on the machine specifications. One convenient approach is based on the Balje-Diagram. Necessarily, certain assumptions need to be made, including the use of semi-empirical relations for efficiencies. The motivation for the current work is to investigate the range in which the blade efficiency might vary based on a parametric study, including CFD simulations for four different blade profiling approaches and five design cases. The impact on the overall machine stage efficiency will be verified.

description: A major feature of public sector accounting reform has been the replacement of conventional cash-based accounting with accrual accounting. Even though accrual accounting is a regular practice in the private sector, little is known about the way in which these practices are diffused throughout large and complex public sector organisations. This thesis relies on Rogers’ (1983) Diffusion of an Innovation Theory (DOI) to explore the diffusion of accrual accounting across the three-tiered (Central - Provincial - Local) government of Sri Lanka. The primary purpose of this thesis is to explore and describe the way accounting innovation is diffused throughout different layers of public sector organisations in the context of a developing country.

Data was collected from semi-structured interviews and a survey targeting Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) representative of all three tiers of government. The findings revealed that the success of the top-down diffusion process (supply side) does not always rely on higher-level government but to some degree on product champions (e.g. professional associations). The success of diffusion-adoption (demand side) will vary according to how adopters prefer to receive and respond to the diffusion of knowledge about the innovation. The findings also concluded that the rate of adoption was influenced by its observability in practice rather than its perceived advantages.

Traditionally, diffusion research emphasises the demand side of the diffusion process but by collecting and analysing data from both supplier and adopter of the accounting innovation, this thesis covered both sides of the top-down diffusion of new accounting practice in Sri Lanka. The findings of this thesis also provided insight into the relevance of accounting innovators (policy makers) and promoters in matching accounting innovation to meet a potential adopter’s requirements. The understanding of the diffusion process may be applied to future applications of the accounting innovation in the public sector for a smooth and quick adoption process.

description: Photogrammetric methods are used to reconstruct the body and wing kinematics of free-flying dragonflies.  A novel experimental setup was designed and constructed to allow for repeated untethered flights in a constrained flight arena.  Kinematic data are presented for twelve individual flights and a total of 23 complete wing strokes, including unaccelerating, accelerating, climbing, and turning flight.  High variability is observed in the wing motions employed by individual dragonflies, particularly in terms of stroke amplitude, pitch angle, and wingbeat frequency. Forewing and hindwing flapping is found to be neither in phase nor fully out of phase across all cases, with the forewings lagging the hindwings by an average of 90 degrees.  Downstroke durations are observed to be shorter than upstroke durations except in highly accelerating flights.  Migratory dragonflies are found to exhibit notably different wing kinematics than non-migratory species.
Modulation of late apoptotic events by ammonia in glutamine-deprived mouse hybridoma cells

description: Highly proliferating cells reprogram their metabolism in order to fulfill their requirements in biosynthetic precursors. One consequence of this metabolic adaptation is glutamine (Gln) addiction, a phenomenon whereby cells become dependent on Gln for their survival. Using Sp2/0-Ag14 (Sp2/0) hybridoma cells, we examined the effect of ammonium ions, a product of glutaminolysis, on the viability of Gln-deprived cells. Supplementing Gln-deprived Sp2/0 cells with 5 mM ammonium acetate (NH4+ acetate) or 5 mM ammonium chloride (NH4+ chloride) resulted in a significant increase in cell viability. Both ammonium salts also protected Sp2/0 cells treated with the toxic Gln analog azaserine. Supplementing Gln-starved Sp2/0 cells with either ammonium salt did not alter cytosolic cytochrome c release or caspase-3 activation, indicating that the mechanisms triggering the apoptotic machinery remained intact. Interestingly, a significant reduction in the number of cells with apoptotic nuclear condensation and fragmentation was observed. However, neither NH4+ acetate nor NH4+ chloride interfered with DNA fragmentation and nuclear lamin A/C cleavage, two key events observed in apoptotic nuclear condensation/fragmentation. All together, these data suggests that the pro-survival effect of ammonium salts are linked with an inhibition of late apoptotic events.
A cross sectional study of drug prescription pattern and causality assessment of adverse drug reactions in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology in a tertiary care hospital

description: Objectives:
1. To characterize the pattern of drug use in dermatology and assess its appropriateness as per WHO prescribing indicators.
2. To assess causality of adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

Methods:
 This was a cross sectional study, conducted on 171 newly diagnosed dermatological disease patients who attended the Dermatology and Venereology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. The prescriptions were collected for 12 months and details were recorded in a case record form. The distribution of various classes of dermatological drugs and their prescribing pattern was assessed using WHO prescribing indicators. Causality of adverse drug reactions assessed using WHO-UMC causality assessment scale.

Results:
 Majority of patients (47%) were in age group 21-40 years. Maximum use among females (61%). Antifungals were most commonly prescribed (27%). Average number of drugs per encounter was 2.78 and percentage of encounter with antibiotic (14.61%) were within WHO standard (2-3 and <40% respectively). Drugs prescribed by generic name (40.67%) and those from EDL (48.84%) were lower than WHO standard. Causality of ADR was possible (50%).

Conclusion:
There was no practice of polypharmacy but noticed irrational use of dermatological drugs as drugs were not prescribed by generic names and from EDL. This causes policy makers to put more emphasis on continuous medical education on rational prescribing.

description: Concentrated animal feeding operations release a variety of potential pollutants, such as ammonia and particulate matters (PM). Field measurements are time consuming, costly, and only provide a limited amount of spatial and temporal information. Air dispersion models can serve as an alternative solution, especially if coupled with field sampling. The Gaussian plume model (GPM) is a mathematical model that assumes steady state condition. Previous studies have used the GPM to evaluate and analyze source. However, much less is known about utilizing GPM to simulate plumes from horizontal sources, such as the exhaust fans from poultry houses. The purpose of this study is to modify and validate a GPM to predict air pollutant emissions from the poultry houses. Two major assumptions were applied on the model, 1) a virtual releasing point was proposed behind the ventilation fan, and 2) ventilation fan was considered as the dominant wind direction in the model for short distance (< 50 m). The modified model was validated with field experimental data. Performance and sensitivity of the model were also evaluated. Fraction of predictions within a factor of two of observations (FAC2) of NH3 and PM were 0.609 and 0.625. Model-predicted concentrations of NH3 were 1.5 times of the measured values on average. Model-predicted concentrations of PM was 0.98 times of the observed values on average.

description: The design of a film cooled dual-bell nozzle is presented. The nozzle is part of a thrust chamber assembly that adopts an existing LOX/GH2 thrust chamber. The dual-bell base nozzle, including the gaseous hydrogen cooling film injection, is a downscaled redesign of an already tested film cooled TIC nozzle. Future hot flow tests at the test facility P8 will study the impact of a ROF variation and a cooling film mass flow variation on the operation mode transition of the dual-bell. For this reason, a homogeneous hot flow and cooling film distribution are mandatory. To meet those demands, extensive numerical studies were performed and design optimizations were derived. The test specimen will be operated under sea level conditions.

description: Background:
Based on anecdotal reports and results from 2 controlled trials using tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in our Tourette outpatient clinic, several patients have been treated with cannabis-based medicine (CBM) including THC, nabiximols (Satviex®), and medicinal cannabis (alone or in combination) or used cannabis illegally. However, until today, the database is limited and it is unknown, whether CBM are indeed effective in the treatment of Tourette syndrome (TS) and which CBM should be preferred. This study was designed to further investigate the efficacy of CBM in TS and to explore patients’ preferences regarding type (THC vs. nabiximols vs. cannabis) and route of intake.

Materials and Methods:
This study consisted of 2 parts: First, we retrospectively analyzed medical records of TS patients, who have been treated with CBM between 1996 and 2017. Thereafter, all these patients were asked to participate in a prospective online survey to further evaluate patients’ use of CBM including kind, dose, and route of intake of CBM; influence on tics and comorbidities, side effects, and quality of life.

Results and Conclusions:
From medical records, we identified 98 patients with TS (84 m, 14 f, mean age = 28.2, SD = 13.7, range = 18-77), who have been treated with the following CBM: medicinal cannabis from the pharmacy (66%), THC (18%), and nabiximols (11%), or used illegal cannabis (5%). All patients (21/21), who used medicinal cannabis, reported about a tic reduction compared to 90% (60/67) after use of illegal cannabis, 77% (27/35) when using THC, and 76% (25/33) when using nabiximols. 40/98 (41%) patients agreed to take part in the prospective online survey. 23 (57%) of these still used CBM: medicinal cannabis (39%), illegal cannabis (35%), nabiximols (26%) and THC (17%). Altogether, 22/23 (96%) patients reported about a clinically relevant tic reduction, an improvement in quality of life, and experienced an improvement in comorbidities. Most patients felt that cannabis (from pharmacy and illegal) caused less side effects compared to THC and nabiximols. From this preliminary data it is suggested that (medicinal) cannabis is more effective and better tolerated than THC and nabiximols. Patients with TS prefer the use of legal treatment with CBM supervised by a medical doctor instead of using “street cannabis” illegally.

description: A novel Karman-Vortex Generator (KVG) was employed to improve the pressure recovery performances in a conical diffuser with large divergence angle (29.14). RANS/URANS/DES were used to judge and verify the effect of KVG and the Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) was set to investigate the flow control mechanisms. All the results suggested that well designed KVG could effectively promote the total pressure and static pressure recovery. The KVG could effectively suppress vortices generation near the throat, and the alternately shedding KarmanVortexes could inject high energy fluid and enhance the fluid mixing in the separation region.

description: The flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids is of great interest looking at gel fuels for rocket applications; especially the pressure loss of gel flows wants to be known to design the propellant feeding system. Since a major part of the pressure loss occurs in complex geometries like injectors or valves, a test setup was designed to examine the pressure loss and behaviour of gel flows. The described test setup can be equipped with different test geometries. The measuring sections have an optical access to examine the flow with PIV; furthermore pressure and temperature can be measured on various positions.
Embedding surface imagery: exploring a hybrid textile design practice – the Desktop Atelier

description: The rise of digital textile printing has dramatically shifted the landscape creating a juncture in textile design between digital and analogue processes for printed textiles. Rather than seeing digital textile printing technology as a threat to my acquired skills and materials intelligence I wanted to understand and investigate how can this technology enhance my creativity.

Through textile sampling and the exploration of serious play and immersive material engagement, the research examines the relationship and impact of the synthesis between traditional textile hand making techniques and new technology in the creative process. How can hand and digital textile design processes work together to create enriched textile surfaces?

 Hand and digital textile design processes work together through a hybrid textile design mode – the Desktop Atelier. The Desktop Atelier is a method of making that merges all the advantages of new technologies with traditional textile techniques. It is a self-managed micro-industry of creativity, materially engaged and responsive. Working directly with a meshwork of materials, tools, techniques and processes the Desktop Atelier supports nonlinear non-hierarchical ways of working.

The value of this hybrid textile mode is a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between imagery and the material surface. Through this mode, the imagery and material surface are simultaneously created. This results in the image being embedded into the surface rather than printed onto the surface, reflecting the interconnected and symbiotic nature of the imagery and surface material. I refer to this as surface ‘aura’, as a way to articulate and encapsulate the complexity of the surface, it’s dimensional depth and surrounding atmosphere. This creates a surface that is dynamic, has depth and evokes an emotional response.

description: Cooling experiments are performed by DLR Institute of Space Propulsion, applying a transpiration cooling system to a scramjet model combustion chamber. Nitrogen coolant is injected through different porous wall samples made of sintered stainless steel into a Mach 2.5 hot gas main flow. Different inlet conditions as well as the response of the transpiration cooling to a shock impingement caused by a 9.3 half wedge are investigated. Results show good cooling efficiency of the transpiration cooling which is not affected much by the impinging shock. A comparison with common theoretical cooling models shows their limited applicability to measurements downstream of the porous section.
A photographic investigation of simulated realities in Hong Kong’s urban landscape
Creators: name: Sun, Lo-Chuan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This practice-led research project is a photographic investigation into the artistic, visual simulations and their effect on the perception of the urban landscape in the city of Hong Kong. Specifically, the research project investigates how and why large photographic simulations of natural imagery are used within the urban environment to present an alternative or idealized view of a specific space or place. The project aims to produce a series of photographic artworks, which not only document examples of this urban phenomena, but which also consider how the use of simulated realities images changes both the perception and reception of the urban landscape. The visual outcomes of this research project will be accompanied by a dissertation that examines the existence and construction of simulacra, and the visual relationship between the simulations and their urban surroundings.

In the densely populated city of Hong Kong, manufactured/imitative simulations, in the form of digital photographic reproductions, have been commonly and widely used for civic and commercial beautification or concealment purposes, gradually shaping and altering our urban landscape. Saturated with large and out-of-scale images of nature such as trees, sky, leaves or grass, digital prints on development hoardings, in particular, seem to create some incoherent, yet desirable, images of nature with the surrounding urban spaces. These paradoxical realities, created usually by shoddy and poorly manufactured printed reproductions, challenge our perception and reception of the urban landscape. The image simulations push the conceptual boundary between the real and the unreal to such an extent that the seen and the experienced in everyday living is put in a state of ambiguity, uncertainty and suspense.

description: A hybrid method of MOPSO (Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization) and k-means clustering isproposed to extract time-frequency (TF) ridges for automatically estimating time-varying modal parameters. In the hybrid method, the particle swarm is partitioned into sub-swarms by k-means clustering to search local best resolutions and the external archive is used to store the local best resolutions. Moreover, the external archive is inputted as the exclusive centroids of k-means clustering for k-means clustering is sensitive to the centroids, and is applied to guide particles of sub-swarms for MOPSO has limitations in handling multi-objective optimization problems with more than three objectives. Comparisons with an original MOPSO and DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) show that the hybrid method is effective in handling multi-mode modal parameter extraction by a synthetic example.
