description: This work was commissioned in response to high temperature fatigue failures in a bolted connection that rotates at high speed. There was concern about the loss of preload in the fasteners at high temperature due to thermal expansion in the fasteners. A substitution of fastener material was made and the failures ceased.  The two major focuses of this work are preload and fatigue behavior of fasteners. Preload can be determined by many different methods with varying degrees of accuracy. After investigating and testing different methods of measuring preload, a new method is  proposed herein that is application specific, eliminating the need for many of the assumptions common to other methods. Modeling and testing also confirmed that the  preload of original fasteners was being completely lost at elevated temperature, and the new fasteners were maintaining preload. Fatigue testing was also performed on the fasteners to determine the fatigue behavior of the fasteners and the effects of temperature on fatigue life. It was determined that maintaining preload at temperature is the most important factor on fastener life in this application, and that temperature does not have  great effect over the temperature range considered.
KANES : knowledge acquisition for a neuroradiology expert system

Neuroradiography

description: One of the most severe obstacles to applying medical informatics to solve practical medical problems is acquiring the knowledge base. The Iliad knowledge base is among the most comprehensive medical knowledge bases in existence. The amount of effort devoted to its creation and maintenance is a testimony to the difficulty of building academic-quality, comprehensive knowledge bases for practical medical applications. In addition to the difficulty of knowledge acquisition, the accuracy and reliability of knowledge base are also major concerns for the developers and users of Iliad expert system. The major emphasis of this project was to use a patient database to improve the efficiency of creating a knowledge base for the neuroradiology domain and increase the accuracy of Iliad expert system based on this knowledge base. The project introduced a knowledge engineering model to automatically generate disease profiles in neuroradiology. The model used a new technique to collect patient data, obtain important statistics, calculate finding utility, and extract the best findings for the diagnostic frames. Knowledge Acquisition for a Neuroradiology Expert System (KANES) is an efficient, accurate, and easy-to-use personal computer program that can assist knowledge engineers in managing the patient database and executing the analysis tasks described above. The experience with the KANES program using a relational Database Management System (DBMS) can be extended to a larger environment where information is gathered from multiple sources and where real-time decisions need to be made. The knowledge engineering session in the Department of Medical Informatics is a good example of such an environment where different categories of individuals need and generate information and make decisions related to teaching, research, management, and administration. Under contract from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) project of the National Library of Medicine, a database is being built to contain clinical data from multiple sources like QMR, HELP, and Iliad. As the quality of the data in medical information systems improves, such databases will become an important resource for all of the probabilities that drive computerized diagnostic systems. The KANES program has the potential to expand to be a decision support system for all medical domains that would help the groups in the knowledge engineering session to make decisions more easily and more appropriately.
An interactive visualization tool for mobile objects

description: Recent advancements in mobile devices - such as Global Positioning System (GPS), cellular phones, car navigation system, and radio-frequency identification (RFID) - have greatly influenced the nature and volume of data about individual-based movement in space and time. Due to the prevalence of mobile devices, vast amounts of mobile objects data are being produced and stored in databases, overwhelming the capacity of traditional spatial analytical methods. There is a growing need for discovering unexpected patterns, trends, and relationships that are hidden in the massive mobile objects data. Geographic visualization (GVis) and knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) are two major research fields that are associated with knowledge discovery and construction. Their major research challenges are the integration of GVis and KDD, enhancing the ability to handle large volume mobile objects data, and high interactivity between the computer  and users of GVis and KDD tools. This dissertation proposes a visualization toolkit to enable highly interactive visual data exploration for mobile objects datasets. Vector algebraic representation and online analytical processing (OLAP) are utilized for managing and querying the mobile object data to accomplish high interactivity of the visualization tool. In addition, reconstructing trajectories at user-defined levels of temporal granularity with time aggregation methods allows exploration of the individual objects at different levels of movement generality. At a given level of generality, individual paths can be combined into synthetic summary paths based on three similarity measures, namely, locational similarity, directional similarity, and geometric similarity functions. A visualization toolkit based on the space-time cube concept exploits these functionalities to create a  user-interactive environment for exploring mobile objects data. Furthermore, the characteristics of visualized trajectories are exported to be utilized for data mining, which leads to the integration of GVis and KDD. Case studies using three movement datasets (personal travel data survey in Lexington, Kentucky, wild chicken movement data in Thailand, and self-tracking data in Utah) demonstrate the potential of the system to extract meaningful patterns from the otherwise difficult to comprehend collections of space-time trajectories.

description: Climate change or global warming is the phenomenon that has recently become a torn in the flesh of earth’s inhabitants globally. It has come with so much deleterious effects that cut across agriculture, water needs, food shortages, storms, floods, poverty, malnutrition, general health debility, and even fire outbreaks. Climate change can mean a change in such weather condition for a particular location over time. Deforestation by humans also is a major cause of climate change whereby the trees/bushes are cut and the debris are burnt thus releasing more gases into the atmosphere in addition to increasing the earth’s temperature. Furthermore, during the process of deforestation, infection-carrying vectors are displaced and released to the environment to cause diseases. Excessive usage of generator as an alternative power supply in Nigeria with its resultant release of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere is great contributor to climate change. This has posed a lot of health hazard to families in Nigeria and there have been cases where entire family members were wiped out after inhaling carbon monoxide from generators kept inside their houses. Another source of climate change in Nigeria is vehicle pollution. Lots of vehicles and motorcycles emit smoke that contributes to warming the environment in addition to causing respiratory tract infections and allergy to humans. In northern Nigeria, climate change has led to desertification whereby the land has become very dried and does not absorb water. When it rains, the water runs off and this in turn leads to excessive flooding. Diseases and death are aftermath of lack of hygiene, deprivation, hunger and malnutrition. Pests and diseases can adversely affect animal husbandry. It also causes human suffering with infections like malaria, cholera, typhoid and dengue fever which in turn affects the effectiveness and productivity of Nigeria's labour force. All these factors are challenge to health care delivery.

description: The growing interest in the discovery of new compounds from medicinal plants justifies the study of phytochemical components of these plants and their biological activities. The genus Ocotea exhibits a variety of pharmacological, antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential and antimicrobial properties of the ethyl acetate fraction of Ocotea paranaensis leaves. Isolation and identification of the phenolic compounds from the fraction was also carried out. The isolated compounds were characterized by one and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and identified as (−) epicatechin (1), quercetin (2), kaempferol (3) and hyperin (4). The ethyl acetate fraction of Ocotea paranaensis leaves demonstrated considerable antioxidant potential. The observed minimum inhibitory concentration of 500 µg/mL was classified as a moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Findings from this study demonstrate the utility of this plant as a potential source of antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

description: Exercise studies with patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) show promising benefits in physical performance and fatigue. However, small sample sizes, lack of randomization, and heterogeneity of settings limit translation of findings into clinical practice. The aims of this randomized control trial were to (a) determine the feasibility and rate of adherence to a supervised exercise intervention during the active phase of HSCT, and (b) examine the intervention impact on functional capacity, fatigue, perceived exertion, muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance and pulmonary status. An additional aim examined the contribution of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which includes attitudes subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, in explaining exercise behavior. Sixty participants were randomly assigned to either the exercise intervention (resistance and aerobic exercise for 1 hour three times/week) or the attention control group (patient education group for 1 hour three times/week). The average participant was Caucasian, age 55 and a candidate for autologous or allogeneic transplant. Participants were followed from initial stem cell collection through recovery of their white count, typically for 6 weeks. The adherence rate to attendance at the exercise program was 79.63%. There was no attrition. Compared to the attention control, the exercise intervention showed a significant difference on functional performance (p = .041), fatigue (p = .041), cardiovascular and pulmonary status (p =

description: This qualitative study describes and analyzes the experience of Mexican immigrant women who live in the United States without government authorization and  who have participated as volunteer outreach workers through a local community-based organization. Specifically, I have sought to understand their views regarding the impact that engaging civically has had on their lives. Research decisions throughout the project  were informed by empowerment theory and the principles of participatory action research. Grounded theory methodology served as the framework for conducting the data analysis process. Triangulation of data sources were used to strengthen the reliability and  authenticity of the data and its analysis. Participant observations, in-depth interviews of research participants, focus groups, and participant analysis offered four sources of data corroborated in the analysis process. In addition, the strategies of peer review and  participant feedback were built into the research design. This grounded theory analysis of a community-based participatory action research project addressed many of the concepts discussed in the literature on empowerment theory and civic engagement, and has contributed to an area of research that was previously lacking: the impact of volunteering on lay health advisors themselves. The substantive grounded theory developed through this project furthers our consideration of notions of power, including: what is power, what does it look like, and how does it function in day-to-day lives?

description: Marketing research was conducted in Salt Lake County, Utah by using descriptive survey techniques.  Data obtained through the study used to suggest a strategy for marketing nurse-midwifery services in the sample area. A brief overview of marketing principles is related and resultant strategies are designed for specific application of Salt Lake Count, Utah.  It is hoped that the methods and principles will be broadly applicable to marketing nurse-midwifery services in other areas.  A consumer questionnaire was sent to women of childbearing age who had previously agreed to participation during a telephone screening interview.  Demographic data were obtained, as well as participant response to questions about the following:  previous providers used for obstetrical care; levels of satisfaction with previous care; factors which are important to respondents in selecting providers; level of knowledge about the practice of certified nurse-midwives; reasons for deciding against certain types of care providers; and their likelihood of selecting certified nurse-midwives for future care.  Findings revealed certain demographic factors to predispose respondents to select a certified nurse-midwife for care in the future.  These included: family income of less than $15,000 and incomes between $55,000 and $75,000; occupation in the professional/technical fields; non-membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS); dissatisfaction with previous non-obstetrician provider; and residence in the "Main" and Holladay areas of Salt Lake County.  Those least likely to use certified nurse-midwives in the future included:  members of the LDS church; satisfied former clients of obstetricians; residents of several areas of the counter other than the "Main" or Holladay area; homemakers and women in the secretarial/office occupations. Chi-square tests were used to explore the relationship between occupation and willingness to use certified nurse-midwives.  Professional/technical women were found to be most likely to use certified nurse-midwife care.  Focus groups were employed to obtain input from consumers and others in developing strategies to address the market data.  Former clients of certified nurse-midwives, consumers who had never used a certified nurse-midwife, certified nurse-midwives in current private practice, and graduate students in a health care marketing course were asked to respond to the dta with their ideas and reactions.  This feedback, along with statistical analysis of the research data formed the basis for marketing promotion with recommendations for interventions.

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Ventilation-Perfusion Ratio
Computer Simulation

description: The development of a model for determining the pulmonary capillary transit time and its distribution function is presented. This principle provides a basis for separating the influences of the ventilation to perfusion ratio and the kinetic mechanisms on oxygen exchange. The derivation of the model is based on general mass balance equations. Three stable isotopes (i.e., 13C02, C0180, and C1802 ) are used as tracer gas in order to measure the required parameters of the model. Computer  algorithms for extraction of the transit time distribution function are presented in detail.

description: Swertiamarin is a lead, biologically active compound obtained from Enicostemma littorale Blume and known to be identified for the anti-diabetic activity. Present work comprises the synthesis and structural optimization of seven novel swertiamarin analogues and those were not being reported elsewhere till date. Swertiamarin was isolated, followed by modifications that have been accomplished amidst fluorinating, acetylating and oxidizing agents and also performed chromatographic purity and characterization of analogues. Furthermore, the swertiamarin analogues were screened for dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) enzyme inhibition with in silico studies. Besides, the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of analogues were predicted using ADMET software. In a nutshell, the compounds such as SNIPERSV-4 and SNIPERSV-7 have to pose good initial activity (∼48%) in comparison to standard DPP-IV inhibitor (Sitagliptin). The identified analogues were active against DPP-IV enzyme in preliminary screenings, and these findings would be beneficial for the new age researchers also for the therapy of diabetes.

description: This document aims to define the eCharge4Drivers methodology for assessing the impact of the different technologies and services demonstrated within the eCharge4Drivers project. It is also fundamental to specify the expected positive outcome for each use case that will be demonstrated for each impact area. To evaluate the outcome of each use case two sets of KPIs have been identified. The first set of KPIs, here called quantitative, will be measured using field data collected by CPOs’ and eMSPs’ systems. The second set of KPIs named qualitative will be calculated using information collected through surveys and interviews catered to EV users, stakeholders, and policymakers.
Biodegradable star-shaped block copolymer hydrogels for drug delivery

description: Thermoplastic biodegradable hydrogels based on star-shaped PEO-PLA and PEO-PCL block copolymers were synthesized and investigated as an injectable, biodegradable drug delivery system. The rationale of using the star-shaped polymers is based on their unique physical properties in solution and bulk state. Star-shaped polymers are known to display small hydrodynamic volume and low melt and solution viscosities, even at high molecular weights.  Such behaviors are important for the drug delivery applications, because they affect the system formulation, drug release, and polymer degradation.  Star-shaped block copolymers were synthesized by a divergent method, where star-shaped PEO was synthesized first by an anionic polymerization of ethylene oxide initiated with metallated plurifunctional initiators.  The block copolymers were prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide and e-caprolactone in the presence of star-shaped PEO and catalytic amount of stannous octoate.  Equilibrium swelling, thermal behavior, and solution properties of the synthesized star-shaped polymers were examined. The block copolymers were swollen in distilled water, and the degree of swelling decreased as the number of arms increased. The melting point, crystallinity, and phase separation decreased with the degree of branching. Solution viscosity of the star-shaped PEO, which correlates with the hydrodynamic volume, decreased with degree of branching.  Solution viscosity of star-shaped PEO-PLA and PEO-PCL block copolymers in methylene chloride was also found to decrease as the number of arms increased.  Polypeptide-loaded microspheres were prepared from star-shaped PEO-PLA and PEO-PLA block copolymers, and the drug release profiles were investigated in vitro. It was observed that the physical properties due to molecular architecture influenced the microsphere preparation and drug release. As the number of arms increased, the drug release was found to increase in the latter phase. It was concluded that this distinct release profile was due to an accelerated degradation of the highly branched polymer.  The results obtained in this study demonstrate the unique properties of star-shaped polymers and their feasibility for polypeptide delivery.  In conclusion, drug delivery system fabrication, drug release profiles, and the in vivo fate of the drug carrier can be improved by using thermoplastic biodegradable hydrogels based on star-shaped polymers.

description: The conventional concept of destination development undermined the sustainable issues and its orientation. Later on, the confusion was not the adoption of sustainable development philosophy but its correct implication and application. Alpine State Sikkim is primarily known as an exotic, idyllic, multi-ethnic Indian hill station since 1975 with its distinct biogeographic and socio-cultural characteristics. Being one of the successful and mature alpine Indian States, tourism development in Sikkim needs research oriented efforts. Most of the empirical researches for sustainable destination development are revolving around „demand and supply" aspects of tourism which seeks equilibrium or a sustainable inter-linkage as a part of solution. The present article is also dealing with an important socio-cultural relationship between guests and hosts exhibiting from the predominating tourism phenomenon and redirecting destination development with a sustainable orientation. A survey was conducted for the primary data in three different places viz. Gangtok, Namchi and Mangan to assess tourism development of the State. Two sets of different questionnaires are prepared for guests and hosts. All the data are processed with the help of relevant non-parametric tests.
