Factors influencing growth and water quality in experimental abalone culture systems
Creators: name: Hindrum, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Abalone culture is becoming increasingly important as over-exploitation and poaching worldwide are depleting wild stocks, yet demand for abalone products continues to increase. Although techniques for nursery production of juveniles and grow-out to market size are well established, optimization of growth rates and maintaining stock health requires a better understanding of factors influencing growth, water quality and health status during the grow-out phase. Previous studies on abalone at the University of Tasmania have investigated a range of husbandry, nutritional and water quality issues. The research covered in the current study used a range of experimental scale grow-out systems, in conjunction with a bioassay system, to investigate a number of factors previously identified as potentially affecting growth and water quality in commercial grow-out systems for greenlip (Haliotis laevigata) and blacklip (H rubra) abalone. Previous work has investigated the effect of environmental ammonia and low dissolved oxygen levels on abalone growth as separate exposures (Harris 1999). For the present study, this work was expanded to investigate the effect on growth of low dissolved oxygen levels combined with elevated ammonia levels as both chronic exposure and as intermittent, 8-hour exposures in two separate trials.

description: This presentation was given at the Leibniz MMS Days 2025 in Warnemünde.

Abstract: The scale invariance of geophysical fluids is investigated in terms of a scale invariance criterion. It was developed by Schaefer-Rolffs et al. (2015) based on the implication that each scale invariant subrange shall have its own criterion. Two particular cases are considered, namely the synoptic scales where the Coriolis term is significant, and the smaller scales where the anelastic approximation is valid. The first case is characterized by a constant enstrophy cascade rather than an energy cascade, leading to a significant restatement of the invariance criterion. In the second case, small-scale fluctuations of density, pressure, and temperature are taken into account that have to be included into the known scale invariance criterion as specific scaling relations.
Emotional distress and depression in children and adolescents following Australian bushfire disasters
Creators: name: McDermott, BMC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Given the evidence from epidemiological studies of a substantial unmet child & adolescent mental health service need, it is typical that children with mental health symptoms following a natural disaster are not routinely provided an intervention. However, following a devastating Australian natural disaster the author directed an innovative inter-sectoral response. Proactive, school-based screening for post-disaster mental health sequelae was seen as a way of identifying school-age children with persisting disaster related symptoms. Identified children were offered a targeted mental health intervention. The intervention, a guided trauma workbook for children and group therapy program for adolescents proved to be acceptable to children, parents and teachers as well as being cost effective. Major study investigations included the emotional responses of Primary and High School children, the proportion of children whose responses met case criteria for emotional trauma or depression and the relationship of these symptoms to trauma related events and factors intrinsic to children such as their level of anxiety and perception of disaster related threat. The responses of children of volunteer fire fighters and younger children who attended infant school were also investigated. Given the large sample size (n = 2379 Primary and High School students, n = 310 Infant School students) multivariate analyses were able to control for age and gender and investigate the relative contribution of individual factors versus bushfire-related variables to depressive and emotional trauma symptoms. In Infant School children a novel measure of infant trauma responses, the Early Childhood Trauma Self-Report, a combination of a picture, vignette and brief statements followed by yes/no responses was also trialled. Also the relationship of parent-report of symptoms was compared to child-report. The final analysis chapter reports a replication study following a major bushfire disaster in Canberra, the Australian National Territory. Advances in design included using two new measures of child and adolescent psychopathology: a measure of Post traumatic stress disorder and a general child and adolescent psychopathology screening measure. Changes were also made to improve the disaster related information collected. The thesis concludes with a discussion of research limitations and future research directions in the field of child and adolescent mental health responses to natural disasters.

We consider the internal space to be an $S^2$ bundle over a product base: $S^2 \times S^2$ and $S^2 \times T^2$. For purely M-theoretic $S^2 \times S^2$, we find only magnetic fluxes preserving two supersymmetries. $S^2 \times T^2$ is far richer admitting in addition to magnetic fluxes, various non-trivial electric fluxes which break all supersymmetry.

description: A scheme of spin diode is proposed that uses a step-like quantum wire with Rashba spin-orbit interaction, connected to two leads with different width. It is shown that a very large vertical spin-polarized current can be generated when electrons transmit from the narrow lead to the wide lead, however, it vanishes or becomes very weak when the transport direction is reversed. This difference is revealed to arise from the different local density of electron states of the quantum wire, which is dependent on the direction of bias. The spin-polarized current in the proposed structure can be generated and manipulated by purely electric means and with strong a robustness against disorder, displaying the feasibility of this structure for a real application.

description: We describe a method to enhance the sensitivity of precision measurements that takes advantage of a quantum sensor's environment to amplify its response to weak external perturbations. An individual qubit is used to sense the dynamics of surrounding ancillary qubits, which are in turn affected by the external field to be measured. The resulting sensitivity enhancement is determined by the number of ancillas that are coupled strongly to the sensor qubit; it does not depend on the exact values of the coupling strengths and is resilient to many forms of decoherence. The method achieves nearly Heisenberg-limited precision measurement, using a novel class of entangled states. We discuss specific applications to improve clock sensitivity using trapped ions and magnetic sensing based on electronic spins in diamond.

description: We formulate the notion of the classical Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piscounov (FKPP) reaction diffusion equation associated with a homogeneous conservative fragmentation process and study its traveling waves. Specifically, we establish existence, uniqueness and asymptotics. In the spirit of classical works such as McKean [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 28 (1975) 323-331] and [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 29 (1976) 553-554], Neveu [In Seminar on Stochastic Processes (1988) 223-242 Birkhäuser] and Chauvin [Ann. Probab. 19 (1991) 1195-1205], our analysis exposes the relation between traveling waves and certain additive and multiplicative martingales via laws of large numbers which have been previously studied in the context of Crump-Mode-Jagers (CMJ) processes by Nerman [Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Gebiete 57 (1981) 365-395] and in the context of fragmentation processes by Bertoin and Martinez [Adv. in Appl. Probab. 37 (2005) 553-570] and Harris, Knobloch and Kyprianou [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Probab. Statist. 46 (2010) 119-134]. The conclusions and methodology presented here appeal to a number of concepts coming from the theory of branching random walks and branching Brownian motion (cf. Harris [Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A 129 (1999) 503-517] and Biggins and Kyprianou [Electr. J. Probab. 10 (2005) 609-631]) showing their mathematical robustness even within the context of fragmentation theory.

Strike or strike out : an analysis of Australian compliance with international standards on the right to strike
Creators: name: McCrystal, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Australia, as a signatory to United Nations and International Labour Organisation Conventions on the Principle of Freedom of Association, is obligated in international law to implement a right to strike. The express and implicit right to strike within these instruments operates as a functional aspect of the principle of freedom of association and is an integral component of the normative ILO model of voluntary collective bargaining. The thesis examines the voluntarily assumed international obligations binding Australia with respect to the right to strike, identifying the exact nature of the obligation undertaken in international law, and measures the degree to which the federal regulatory model complies. Particular attention is paid to the model of protected action within the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (Cth) (WRA). The measurement of the compliance by the federal legal framework is undertaken through examination of the legal framework of voluntary collective bargaining and its practical impact. The discussion measures compliance on the basis of the specific standards enunciated by international agencies, and on the basis of the appropriate role of strike action in a normative model of voluntary collective bargaining based on the principle of freedom of association. The thesis concludes that the federal model of voluntary collective bargaining instituted under the WRA fails to comply with international standards on the right to strike from a global perspective, but achieves a degree of compliance on the specific level of the WRA protected action regime. There is no right to strike in Australian law for a wide variety of strike action that is encompassed by the principle of freedom of association in international standards. Where a right to strike is provided in the context of protected action, the right is compliant in form but not in substance. The failure of the model to comply in substance stems from the differing approaches taken in international and Australian law to the. principle of freedom of association and the role of strike action within voluntary collective bargaining. International standards encompass strike action as an aspect of a functional freedom of association designed to operate as a tool of bargaining. Non compliance in Australia stems from an approach to strike action that separates strike and freedom of association, using strike to facilitate predetermined bargaining outcomes rather than accommodating choice in bargaining processes.
Dust retention in protoplanetary disks

description: Context: Protoplanetary disks are observed to remain dust-rich for up to several million years. Theoretical modeling, on the other hand, raises several questions. Firstly, dust coagulation occurs so rapidly, that if the small dust grains are not replenished by collisional fragmentation of dust aggregates, most disks should be observed to be dust poor, which is not the case. Secondly, if dust aggregates grow to sizes of the order of centimeters to meters, they drift so fast inwards, that they are quickly lost. Aims: We attempt to verify if collisional fragmentation of dust aggregates is effective enough to keep disks 'dusty' by replenishing the population of small grains and by preventing excessive radial drift. Methods: With a new and sophisticated implicitly integrated coagulation and fragmentation modeling code, we solve the combined problem of coagulation, fragmentation, turbulent mixing and radial drift and at the same time solve for the 1-D viscous gas disk evolution. Results: We find that for a critical collision velocity of 1 m/s, as suggested by laboratory experiments, the fragmentation is so effective, that at all times the dust is in the form of relatively small particles. This means that radial drift is small and that large amounts of small dust particles remain present for a few million years, as observed. For a critical velocity of 10 m/s, we find that particles grow about two orders of magnitude larger, which leads again to significant dust loss since larger particles are more strongly affected by radial drift.

Isothermal reentrant effect in a mesoscopic cylindrical structure of a superconductor coated with a normal metal layer

description: The coherent phenomena in mesoscopic cylindrical normal metal (N) - superconductor (S) structures have been investigated theoretically. The magnetic moment (persistent current) of such a structure has been calculated numerically and (approximately) analytically. It is shown that the current in the N layer corresponding to the free-energy minimum is always diamagnetic. As the field increases, the magnetic moment (current) exhibits jumps at certain values of the trapped magnetic flux and the NS structure changes to a state with smaller absolute value of the diamagnetic moment. This occurs when the persistent current is unable to screen the external field. The magnetic moment increase stepwise and the system changes into a new stable state. The magnetic field penetrates into a larger volume of the N layer. The state has smaller absolute value of the diamagnetic moment. Experimentally, this is interpreted as the presence of a paramagnetic addition in the system (paramagnetic reentrant effect). The results obtained are in qualitative agreement with the experiments conducted by P. Visani et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1514 (1990)].

description: It is well known that Raman scattering and fluorescence can be enhanced by the presence of metallic nanoparticles. Here, we derive simple equations to analyse the influence of metallic nanoparticles on upconversion processes such as non-radiative energy transfer or excited state absorption. We compare the resulting expressions with the more familiar Raman and fluorescence cases, and find significant differences. We use numerical simulations to calculate the upconverted signal enhancement achievable by means of metallic spheres of different radii, and find particles of 100-400nm radius at infrared frequencies to be favorable. We also discuss the considerable challenges involved in using metallic particles to enhance upconversion for solar energy.

Rip currents on a circular beach.
Creators: name: O'Rourke, John Cameron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A mathematical model is developed which extends the theory of rip currents developed by Bowen (1969b) for a straight beach to curved beaches where radii of curvature are large relative to the width of the surf zone. Nine forcing terms are found to cause rip current systems. The terms are functions of the longshore variation in wave height and angle of incidence of the incoming waves at the breakers. The model is applied to the case of a circular beach with conical nearshore bottom topography. A large rip current component is found to exist which is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature of the beach. Another significant rip current component is found to be proportional to the variation in the angle of incidence of the waves at the breakers. This component would cause rip currents on a straight beach where some irregular offshore topography caused some variation in the incident angle of the incoming waves. Another component rip current was found which was essentially the same as the one predicted by Bowen (1969b).

description: We calculated for the nearest active galactic nucleus (AGN), Centaurus A (Cen A), the flux of high energy cosmic rays and of accompanying secondary photons and neutrinos expected from hadronic interactions in the source. We used as two basic models for the generation of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) shock acceleration in the radio jet and acceleration in the regular electromagnetic field close to the core of the AGN, normalizing the UHECR flux to the observations of the Auger experiment. Here we compare the previously obtained photon fluxes with the recent data reported by the Fermi LAT and H.E.S.S. collaborations. In the case of the core model, we find good agreement both for the predicted spectral shape and the overall normalization between our earlier results and the H.E.S.S. observations for a primary proton energy $dN/dE\propto E^{-α}$ with $α\sim 2$ or smaller. A broken-power law with high-energy part $α=-2.7$ leads to photon fluxes in excess of the Fermi measurements. The energy spectrum of the photon fluxes obtained by us for the jet scenario is in all cases at variance with the H.E.S.S. and Fermi observations.

Investigations of a spark gap with mercury-jet electrodes
Creators: name: Ngo, Frank Quoc-Hai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A spark gap with mercury jets as electrodes has been developed. Investigations show that the gap can be triggered reliably by photons from a trigger spark with a jitter in the formative time lags less than 0.2 µsec. To overcome uncertainties in the breakdown conditions produced by surface waves on the jet, it has been found necessary to trigger the spark no later than 0.5 sec. after starting the jets„ By suitably designing the geometry of the jets undesirable surface instabilities excited by electric fields have been eliminated. Since the spark gap is isolated electrically from the triggering source very little noise is produced in neighbouring measuring circuits when the main spark is fired. The continual regeneration of the electrode surfaces also eliminates the erratic features observed in normal spark gaps which are fitted with solid metal electrodes.

description: Suppose we have three independent copies of a regular diffusion on $[0,1]$ with absorbing boundaries. Of these diffusions, either at least two are absorbed at the upper boundary or at least two at the lower boundary. In this way, they determine a majority decision between 0 and 1. We show that the strategy that always runs the diffusion whose value is currently between the other two reveals the majority decision whilst minimizing the total time spent running the processes.

description: By analysing the Chandra and XMM-Newton archived data of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 3158, which was reported to possess a relatively regular, relaxed morphology in the X-ray band in previous works, we identify a bow edge-shaped discontinuity in the X-ray surface brightness distribution at about $120h_{71}^{-1}$ kpc west of the X-ray peak. This feature is found to be associated with a massive, off-centre cool gas clump, and actually forms the west boundary of the cool clump. We find that the cool gas clump is moving at a subsonic velocity of ~700 km/s toward west on the sky plane. We exclude the possibility that this cool clump was formed by local inhomogeneous radiative cooling in the intra-cluster medium, due to the effectiveness of the thermal conduction on the time-scale of $\sim 0.3$ Gyr. Since no evidence for central AGN activity has been found in Abell 3158, and this cool clump bears many similarities to the off-centre cool gas clumps detected in other merging clusters in terms of their mass, size, location, and thermal properties (e.g. lower temperature and higher abundance as compared with the environment), we speculate that the cool clump in Abell 3158 was caused by a merger event, and is the remnant of the original central cool-core of the main cluster or the infalling sub-cluster. This idea is supported not only by the study of line-of-sight velocity distribution of the cluster member galaxies, but also by the study of gas entropy-temperature correlation. This example shows that the appearance of such massive, off-centre cool gas clumps can be used to diagnose the dynamical state of a cluster, especially when prominent shocks and cold fronts are absent.

description: Full jet reconstruction in relativistic heavy ion collisions provides new and unique insights to the physics of parton energy loss. Because of the large underlying event multiplicity in $A+A$ collisions, random and correlated fluctuations in the background can result in the reconstruction of fake jets. These fake jets must be identified and rejected to obtain the purest jet sample possible. A large but reducible fake rate of jets reconstructed using an iterative cone algorithm on HIJING events is observed. The absolute rate of fake jets exceeds the binary-scaled p+p jet rate below 50 GeV and is not negligible until 100 GeV. The variable $Σj_{T}$, the sum of the jet constituent's $E_{T}$ perpendicular to the jet axis, is introduced to identify and reject fake jets at by a factor of 100 making it negligible. This variable is shown to not strongly depend on jet energy profiles modified by energy loss. By studying azimuthal correlations of reconstructed di-jets, the fake jet rate can be evaluated in data.

description: Following the idea of the continuity approach in [D. L. Zhou, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 180505 (2008)], we obtain the degrees of irreducible multi-party correlations in two families of $n$-qutrit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger type states. For the pure states in one of the families, the irreducible 2-party, $n$-party and $(n-m)$-party ($0< m < n-2$) correlations are nonzero, which is different from the $n$-qubit case. We also derive the correlation distributions in the $n$-qutrit maximal slice state, which can be uniquely determined by its $(n-1)$-qutrit reduced density matrices among pure states. It is proved that there is no irreducible $n$-qutrit correlation in the maximal slice state. This enlightens us to give a discussion about how to characterize the pure states with irreducible $n$-party correlation in arbitrarily high-dimensional systems by the way of the continuity approach.

description: Mirror dark matter offers a framework to explain the existing dark matter direct detection experiments, including the impressive DAMA annual modulation signal. Here we examine the implications of mirror dark matter for experiments like CDMSII/Ge and XENON10 which feature higher recoil energy threshold than the DAMA NaI experiments. We show that the two events seen in the CDMSII/Ge experiment are consistent with the interactions of the anticipated heavy $\sim Fe'$ component. This interpretation of the CDMSII/Ge events is a natural one given that a) mirror dark matter predicts an event rate which is sharply falling with respect to recoil energy and b) that the two observed events are in the low energy region near threshold. Importantly this interpretation of the CDMSII events can be checked by on-going and future experiments, and we hereby predict that the bulk of the events will be in the $E_R \stackrel{

Its parameters were determined from a least square fitting to the experimental scattering data available in the literature for angles from 15 to 180 degrees. The model is then used to estimate the nuclear scattering to be expected at small scattering angles. It is shown that Schwinger scattering and incident neutron polarization significantly alter the shape of the elastic cross section at angles less than 10 degrees. At 5 degrees this change is about 3%. Additional effects due to Electric Polarizability scattering are shown to be very small and not sufficient for a determination of the polarizability of the neutron from the elastic scattering data at this energy.
Cognitive and behavioural profiles of autism and Asperger's syndrome : are they distinctive?
Creators: name: Fevre, Le
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: This literature review examines the emergence of the diagnostic criteria of Pervasive Developmental Disorders, focusing on autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Autism first described by Leo Kanner in 1943 was originally identified as a form of childhood schizophrenia, and was first recognised as a distinct disorder in 1980. In 1944 Hans Asperger identified children who appeared to have autism but were more able in their use of language and social interactions than children with autism. The current diagnostic criteria and identifying markers which differentiate the two disorders are critically examined, and the challenges in accurately diagnosing individuals with these pervasive developmental disorders are presented. Asperger's Syndrome is currently indicated by several deficits shared with autism: impairments in social interaction, communication and the presence of repetitive behaviours. The fact that they share many similar characteristics has led to questions of whether the two disorders can be reliably differentiated in terms of symptom profiles. Hence, the current research being undertaken to distinguish attributes that separate the disorders from one another is critically reviewed in the light of two opposing constructs; the first being that autism and Asperger's Syndrome are distinct disorders with differing clinical features, the second being the idea of the two disorders exist on a continuum differing only in terms of severity. The review found that the contradictions in the literature have made it difficult for reliable diagnoses to be made and that research needs to focus on finding clear indicators that can either objectively separate the two disorders or conclusively argue that they cannot be differentially diagnosed based on their symptom profiles. The aim of this literature review is to critically examine the identification and diagnosis of autism and Asperger's Syndrome in the context of recognised general difficulties that are associated with the diagnosis of mental disorders. The development of diagnostic criteria and identifying markers which differentiate the two disorders are examined. In particular, the review focuses on the difficulty in accurately diagnosing individuals with pervasive developmental disorders and of the current research being undertaken to distinguish attributes that reliably separate the disorders from one another.
Revealing scars : a study through printmaking of visual art as a language expressing subliminal experience
Creators: name: Langdon, LJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This research project investigates the possibilities of visual art as an effective means of expressing the lived experience of trauma and subliminal memory without direct reference to any specific event. The projects theoretical and practical research explores the delineation between the intentional expression of repressed emotions and the unintentional presence of suggestive elements within visual works of art. The practical work considers that we construct our understanding of the world through memories and visual (or visualised) cues attached to language. The motivation for this project stems from the diaries my father wrote during his incarceration as a POW in WWII. Although they form a tangible link to the experiences of being a soldier and prisoner during WWII, it is the emotional aftermath which creates the catalyst for this research. His work as a potter and sculptor inspires the questions that form the boundaries of the research. Artists who have been inspirational for the studio research during this project include contemporary artists Doris Salcedo and William Kentridge as well as historic artist Otto Dix. The aim of the studio research has been to work through the medium of printmaking to examine the visual expression of the subliminal emotive responses that traumatic events can render in a person's psyche. Mechanisms of plate sequence, site specific arrangement and tonal variation contribute to the development of prints on paper and clay. In the exhibition work, which comprises of over 80 prints of primarily etchings and lithographs, the literal and sense memories are carried through time and place informing and affecting the interpretation and emotional engagement with each encountered environment. An installation utilising audio recording and raw clay is also in the exhibition and these works are supported by bodies of work that relate to the questions posed in the project.

description: A primary goal in the NZ SeaRise Programme – Te Tai Pari o Aotearoa is to produce local sea-level projections for New Zealand / Aotearoa to include local effects like vertical land movement. These projections are not restricted to the coastline of Aotearoa, as New Zealand has interests and responsibilities that lie outside our Extended Economic Zone. Antarctica is one region where New Zealand has strategic interests and environmental responsibilities. The impact of sea-level change on our facilities in Antarctica will affect our ability to operate on the southern continent in the coming decades. New Zealand is developing plans for a new base to replace the ageing Scott Base facilities. Local sea-level projections are required to inform the design process. One of the largest uncertainties in future sea-level projections is due to uncertainties regarding the dynamic response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to climate change. Vertical land movement will have an influence on local (relative) sea-level change in Antarctica, but changes in ice mass due to melting of Earth’s large ice sheets can also have a large effect in the polar regions. Whereas global mean sea level will rise in the coming decades, sea level may fall in regions close to the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. Here, we use results from new ice sheet modelling studies and outcomes from expert elicitations to estimate future sea-level response for the region off Hut Point Peninsula. Results indicate that, by 2100, local sea level may rise by ~140 cm or fall by ~90 cm depending on future carbon emissions. (auth)
The temporal changes in the emission spectrum of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 after Deep Impact

description: The time dependence of the changes in the emission spectra of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 after Deep Impact are derived and discussed. This was a unique event because for the first time it gave astronomers the opportunity to follow the time history of the formation and decay of O(1S), OH, CN, C2, C3, NH, and NH2. Least squares fits of a modified Haser model with constraints using known rate constants were fit to the observed data. In the case of OH a simple two-step Haser model provides a reasonable fit to the observations. Fitting the emissions from O(1S), CN, C2, C3, NH, and NH2 requires the addition of a delayed component to a regular two or three step Haser model. From this information a picture of the Deep Impact encounter emerges where there is an initial formation of gas and dust, which is responsible for the prompt emission that occurs right after impact. A secondary source of gas starts later after impact when the initial dust has dissipated enough so that solar radiation can reach the surface of freshly exposed material. The implications of this and other results are discussed in terms of the implications on the structure and composition of the comet's nucleus.

description: A Poincare' covariant Faddeev equation is presented, which enables the simultaneous prediction of meson and baryon observables using the leading-order in a truncation of the Dyson-Schwinger equations that can systematically be improved. The solution describes a nucleon's dressed-quark core. The evolution of the nucleon mass with current-quark mass is discussed. A nucleon-photon current, which can produce nucleon form factors with realistic Q^2-evolution, is described. Axial-vector diquark correlations lead to a neutron Dirac form factor that is negative, with r_1^{nu}>r_1^{nd}. The proton electric-magnetic form factor ratio falls with increasing Q^2.

description: Meniscus tears often occur in the avascular inner part of the meniscus and therefore do not heal spontaneously. Current treatments such as meniscectomy and the implantation of allografts are insufficient. In this study we prepared a designed, sub-total, porous meniscus implant from functionalized poly(trimethylene carbonate) by stereolithography, and investigated its mechanical behavior in a human cadaveric knee. The sub-total meniscus implant was sutured to the peripheral rim of the meniscus and placed in the medial compartment of the knee. To determine the peak- and mean pressures and the contact area pressure distribution, measurements were made and compared to those of the native meniscus-, meniscectomy- and allograft implant situations. Compared to the native meniscus, meniscectomy results in considerably higher peak- and mean pressures. Compared to meniscectomy, the allograft and PTMC implants show a limited decrease in peak pressures and a much lower mean pressure. The mean pressures are close to those of the native meniscus. Both the allograft and the PTMC implant show improved mechanical behavior compared to meniscectomy. It can be expected that the mechanical function of the PTMC implant will improve upon the formation of tissue in the pores of the implant after implantation in patients.

AMPK R225W mutation
mitochondrial dynamics
bioenergetic capacity

description: AMPK is a master regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. The gain-of-function AMPKg3 R225W mutation in human skeletal muscle increases resistance to fatigue during exercise, mitochondrial content, and glycogen storage. We demonstrate that primary myotubes exhibit increased OCR, decreased ECAR, increased FAO, and increased activities of several mitochondrial complexes. To examine whether functional effects are attributable to mitochondrial content, we inhibited AMPK; differences between R225W and control were diminished. Glycogen phosphorylase inhibition demonstrated normal respiration independent of glycogen. We examined markers of quality/quantity control of mitochondria. In R225W muscle, fusion markers increased, biogenesis markers remained unchanged, mTOR pathway was inhibited, and there was greater capacity for autophagic flux and mitophagy. We thus determine that bioenergetic effects of R225W are in part due to active AMPK, but also due to capacity for more robust mitochondria. Overall, R225W provides a model for evaluating effects of AMPK, and new avenues toward treatment of metabolic disease.
