description: Purpose The most common femoral short stems available on the market can, in principle, be divided with regard to their anchoring concepts into a calcar loading and a shortened tapered design. The purpose of this study was to compare the primary stability and stress-shielding of two short stems, which correspond to these two different anchoring concepts. Methods Using seven paired fresh frozen human cadaver femurs, primary axial and rotational stabilities under dynamic load (100–1600 N) were evaluated by miniature displacement transducers after 100,000 load cycles. Changes in cortical strains were measured before and after implantation of both stem types to detect implant-specific load transmission and possible stress-shielding effects. Results Reversible and irreversible micromotions under dynamic load displayed no significant differences between the two implants. Implantation of either stem types resulted in a reduction of cortical strains in the proximal femur, which was less pronounced for the calcar loading implant. Conclusions Both short stems displayed comparable micromotions far below the critical threshold above which osseointegration may disturbed. Neither short stem could avoid proximal stress-shielding. This effect was less pronounced for the calcar loading short stem, which corresponds to a more physiological load transmission.

description: In the past, people with disabilities were not encouraged to participate in physical activity beyond that of rehabilitation. As such, this group has been covertly and overtly excluded from participating in the development of a healthy lifestyle. This paper explored the factors leading to the exclusion of people with disabilities from the physically active community. The scope of justice literature was reviewed, and this area of research was taken further with the exploration of global fairness beliefs. This orientation toward others launches from previous research (e.g., Deutsch,1985; Opotow, 2000) and involves a set of beliefs (the belief that considerations of fairness apply to others, the belief in the allocation of a share of community resources to others, and belief in sacrificing to foster others well-being), which are argued to be relatively stable and fundamental to our behaviours. The first study tested a measure of global fairness beliefs (N = 206). The measure appeared to be sound with a strong one-factor model produced. The first study also showed that the measure had relatively good test-retest reliability as well as external and discriminant validity. Considering previous research (e.g., Opotow, 1994), the goal of the second study was to evaluate the moderating role of situations of conflict, dissimilarity and lack of utility in the relationship between global fairness beliefs and exclusionary attitudes and behavioural intentions toward people with disabilities within the fitness and physical activity community. A total of 282 participants were presented with scenarios depicting situations of high or low conflict, similarity and utility. Results showed little support for the hypotheses and some unexpected outcomes. Limitations of the current study, and future studies are proposed. Applications to the acceptance of people with disabilities both within the active community and beyond are discussed. Finally, the important influence that global fairness beliefs exert in the trends of the social world is discussed.

description: Since 2017 there is a horizontal European test standard, which was published in January 2018 as DIN EN 16516 "Construction products: Evaluation of the emission of dangerous substances - Determination of emissions into indoor air". DIN EN 16516 defines a reference room (V=30 m3) as the basis for emission testing. With regard to the reference room the product standards have to define the loading factor L: 1.0 m2/m3 for walls; 0.4 m2/m3 for floor and ceiling. The addition of loading factors for different use of products can result in loading factors of 1.4 m2/m3 or 1.8 m2/m3. The air exchange rate for the reference room is set to 0.5 per hour. A temperature of 23˚C and a relative humidity of 50 % are set as climate conditions. By order of the Federal Environmental Agency (UBA) the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) investigated if and how DIN EN 16516 could be used for the measurement of formaldehyde emission from wood composites under the directive "Chemikalien-Verbotsverordnung".

description: The present study highlights the practical application of a Piper-based botanical insecticide for controlling insect pests of the home and garden in urban areas in eastern Canada and northeastern North America. Biopesticides, including botanicals, can offer a safe and effective alternative to conventional insecticides for controlling major insect pests within an IPM program. Secondary compounds from the Piperaceae family, specifically the abundant isobutyl amides and lignans, have shown promise for insecticidal applications. A method for extraction and HPLC-MS analysis of Piper spp. was developed in order to allow quick and accurate measure of piperamide levels in P. nigrum, P. tuberculatum, West African Guinea pepper, P. guineense Schum and Thonn, and in less recognized species from Central America. Extraction of leaf and peppercorn material with 50:50 ethyl acetate and water provided a greater than 80% recovery of spiked piperine. HPLC analysis using a binary gradient of acetonitrile and water provided a clean separation of the major amide peaks between 5 and 12 min. The use of APCI-MS improved the detection limit 10 fold below the 2-ng limit of the HPLC-DAD method. Extracts from P. nigrum, P. guineense and P. tuberculatum were tested for efficacy against insects from five orders. Among the insect pests tested, the most sensitive species were, in order of increasing lethal concentration: Eastern tent caterpillar, Malacosoma americanum F. < European pine sawfly larvae, Neodiprion sertifer Geoffroy < spindle ermine moth larvae, Yponomeuta cagnagella Hubner < Viburnum leaf beetle larvae, Pyrrhalta viburni Paykull < stripped cucumber beetle adult, Acalymma vittatum Fabrcius < Colorado potato beetle adult, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) < Japanese beetle adult, Popillia japonica Newman < hairy chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus hirtus Montandon. Greenhouse trials revealed that the pepper formulations also had a repellent activity thus protecting plant leaves from: (1) herbivory by lily leaf beetles, Lilioceris lilii (Scopoli) adults and larvae, and striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum F. adults and (2) oviposition by European corn borer, Ostrina nubilalis (Hubner). When an insecticide resistant strain of potato beetle larvae was tested with the P. tuberculatum extract, there was less than a two fold tolerance ratio compared to the 22-fold tolerance ratio to cypermethrin, a pyrethroid. An in vitro polysubstrate monoxygenase (PSMO) enzyme assay, using the substrate methoxyresorufin O-demethylation (MROD), determined that piperine, is responsible for inhibition of that specific enzyme. A subsequent toxicokinetic study determined that piperine is quickly eliminated from the exoskeleton (t1/2 = 16.5 h) and hemolymph (t 1/2 = 12 h) of the adult American cockroach Periplaneta americana L. after a topical application.

description: Human activities continue to cause a rise in Global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions despite the implementation of various climate protection measures. Currently, an estimated four out of nine planetary boundaries have now been crossed as a result of human activity, which would drive the Earth System into a much less hospitable state. The current tragedy is that improvement or turnaround in the global trends is not in sight. On the contrary, every year it gets more dramatic. Urgent action is needed to ensure that humanity preserves the life-giving functions of our natural environment. An ambitious study was conducted into the Resource-Efficient Pathways towards Greenhouse-Gas Neutrality (RESCUE). In the RESCUE study, a combination of five models was used, together with various sector-specific data, to carry out quantitative assessments of GHG emissions and raw materials requirements in six scenarios between 2010 and 2050. The RESCUE study produced scenarios which are archetypes of sustainable development and can serve as blueprints for the â€ÌGreat Transformationâ€Ì. The GreenSupreme is a scenario that will speed up the global achievement of sustainability goals. Not surprisingly, it would mean zero growth of the gross national product in the industrialised countries in the medium term. Without limiting our lifestyles we will not achieve the goals and global injustices will become increasingly severe. People today have recognised that quick action is necessary. More and more sectors, levels, parts of society, movements, countries, cities are beginning to take a different path. Quelle: https://www.taylorfrancis.com
Power reduction and control of active suspension

description: Traditional suspension systems have fixed damping properties, and they provide a constant response to different road types. On the contrary, active suspension systems use linear motors to vary damping forces and its properties in real-time. The study demonstrates a force reduction in active suspension by comparing two control schemes, Linear Quadratic Regulator and Model Predictive Control on a quarter car active suspension model. The possibility of torque ripple and power reduction in active suspension was demonstrated by comparing two brushless motor drive schemes. This research will help in the improvement of the design and development of active suspension system.
Free vibration and buckling analysis of thin rectangular plates with classical boundary conditions under unilateral in-plane loads.
Creators: name: Michelussi, David J.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Interest in the free vibration of thin rectangular plates has emerged due to the rapid growth in computer technology. Delicate electronic components mounted on circuit boards may be placed in environments under dynamic loadings. The designer may need to control the natural frequency or mode shape of a specific board if a known excitation is causing reliability problems in the hardware. Fortunately, constant in-plane loads can be applied to the plate, affecting its stiffness, and hence dynamic characteristics. This method of control is convenient since the circuit board does not need to be redesigned. The method of superposition is used to obtain analytical-type solutions for the free vibration of thin rectangular plates under constant in-plane loads in this thesis. A total of nine plate configurations are examined, each of which possess at least one free edge. Eight building blocks are derived and used to solve the plates under consideration. Each building block solution is of the Levy-type and is analytically exact. Since plate buckling is a limiting case of plate vibration, the solutions obtained can also be used to solve plate buckling problems. Results are calculated for nine plate aspect ratios. Buckling loads, frequencies, and mode shapes are shown. Excellent agreement is found in comparisons with other solution methods.

description: Certain persistent and polar substances may pose a hazard to drinking water resources. To foster the knowledge exchange in this field the Working Group Environmental Monitoring of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) Division Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology discussed at their meeting in December 2018 the significance and relevance of persistent, mobile and toxic chemicals (PMT substances) in the environment. Five oral contributions highlighted not only various aspects such as the identification of potential PMT substances based on certain properties and their possible regulation under the European REACH regulation, but also current developments in the analysis of PMT substances and results from environmental monitoring. The data presented prove that many persistent and mobile substances can be detected in surface waters. Once detected, it can be complex and costly to identify sources and reduce inputs, as a case study on 1,4-dioxane in Bavarian surface waters shows. The same applies to the removal of polar substances from raw water for drinking water production. Today, scientific advances in analytical methods make it easier to identify and quantify even very polar substances in water samples. In addition to the targeted analysis of critical chemicals, non-target screening is playing an increasingly important role. This opens up the possibility of detecting substances in water samples that have not previously been investigated in routine monitoring and testing their relevance for humans and the environment. However, the list of potentially occurring PM substances that have not yet been investigated is still very long. Further methodological improvements seem necessary here. In view of the evidence for the presence of PMT substances in the environment (e.g., trifluoroacetic acid and 1,4-dioxane) and the potential risks for drinking water abstraction, it seems important under consideration of the precautionary principle to identify and prioritise relevant REACH-registered substances. The assessment should be based on the intrinsic properties and the emission potential of the compounds. The implementation of a detailed proposal made at European level to regulate PMT and very persistent and very mobile (vPvM) substances in the context of REACH would ensure that chemicals identified as being substances of very high concern according to the PMT and vPvM criteria are subject to authorisation in future. © The Author(s) 2020

description: Microgravity exposure as well as chronic disuse are two main causes of skeletal muscle atrophy in animals and humans. The antigravity calf soleus is a reference postural muscle to investigate the mechanism of disuse-induced maladaptation and plasticity of human and rodent (rats or mice) skeletal musculature. Here, we report microgravity-induced global gene expression changes in space-flown mouse skeletal muscle and the identification of yet unknown disuse susceptible transcripts found in soleus (a mainly slow phenotype) but not in extensor digitorum longus (a mainly fast phenotype dorsiflexor as functional counterpart to soleus). Adult C57Bl/N6 male mice (n = 5) flew aboard a biosatellite for 30 days on orbit (BION-M1 mission, 2013), a sex and age-matched cohort were housed in standard vivarium cages (n = 5), or in a replicate flight habitat as ground control (n = 5). Next to disuse atrophy signs (reduced size and myofiber phenotype I to II type shift) as much as 680 differentially expressed genes were found in the space-flown soleus, and only 72 in extensor digitorum longus (only 24 genes in common) compared to ground controls. Altered expression of gene transcripts matched key biological processes (contractile machinery, calcium homeostasis, muscle development, cell metabolism, inflammatory and oxidative stress response). Some transcripts (Fzd9, Casq2, Kcnma1, Ppara, Myf6) were further validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Besides previous reports on other leg muscle types we put forth for the first time a complete set of microgravity susceptible gene transcripts in soleus of mice as promising new biomarkers or targets for optimization of physical countermeasures and rehabilitation protocols to overcome disuse atrophy conditions in different clinical settings, rehabilitation and spaceflight.

description: Abstract This report offers novel clinical and diagnostic aspects of the association between germline mutations in HAVCR2 and subcutaneous panniculitis‐like T‐cell lymphoma (SPTCL). The patient presented with panniculitis‐like T‐cell lymphoma involving mesenteric fatty tissue associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Five years later, he developed a clonally unrelated SPTCL and underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Retrospectively, he was found to carry germline mutations in HAVCR2 associated with reduced T‐cell immunoglobulin mucin‐3 (TIM‐3) expression. We show that mesenteric fatty tissue localization of SPTCL can be the presenting manifestation of TIM‐3 deficiency, that this condition predisposes to recurrent lymphoma, and that flow cytometry is a possible screening tool.

description: Energy storage system such as supercapacitor and energy conversion technology like electrochemical water-splitting hold great prospects to mitigate the problems of the energy crisis and global warming. However, the lack of efficient materials to serve as electrodes/electrocatalysts hinders their development. This thesis is devoted to developing such materials that can serve as efficient electrodes/electrocatalysts for supercapacitors and electrochemical water splitting. The study showed the developed electrolyzers generating clean hydrogen gas that can be used as fuels and the supercapacitors lighting a LED bulb indicating their potentials for practical applications in our day-to-day life and to society as a whole.

description: A balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) is required to maintain tendon homeostasis. Variation in this balance over time might impact on the success of tendon healing. This study aimed to analyze structural changes and the expression profile of MMPs and TIMPs in human Achilles tendons at different time-points after rupture. Biopsies from 37 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture were taken at surgery and grouped according to time after rupture: early (2–4 days), middle (5–6 days), and late (≥7 days), and intact Achilles tendons served as control. The histological score increased from the early to the late time-point after rupture, indicating the progression towards a more degenerative status. In comparison to intact tendons, qRT-PCR analysis revealed a significantly increased expression of MMP-1, -2, -13, TIMP-1, COL1A1, and COL3A1 in ruptured tendons, whereas TIMP-3 decreased. Comparing the changes over time post rupture, the expression of MMP-9, -13, and COL1A1 significantly increased, whereas MMP-3 and -10 expression decreased. TIMP expression was not significantly altered over time. MMP staining by immunohistochemistry was positive in the ruptured tendons exemplarily analyzed from early and late time-points. The study demonstrates a pivotal contribution of all investigated MMPs and TIMP-1, but a minor role of TIMP-2, -3, and -4, in the early human tendon healing process. View Full-Text
Improving physical activity, pain and function in patients waiting for hip and knee arthroplasty by combining targeted exercise training with behaviour change counselling: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

description: Background: Osteoarthritis often results in prolonged periods of reduced physical activity and is associated with adverse health outcomes, including increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Exercise interventions for patients on the waiting list for arthroplasty can reduce the risk of long-term adverse outcomes by increasing activity levels. However, uptake and ongoing positive rates of physical activity in this population are low and the impact of pre-operative behaviour counselling on exercise is not known. Method/design: The exercise and behaviour change counselling (ENHANCE) trial is a two-arm assessor-blind randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a 12-week exercise intervention designed to improve long-term physical activity and functional abilities for people awaiting arthroplasty. Participants on the waiting list for hip and knee arthroplasty are recruited from one clinical site in Australia. After collection of baseline data, participants are randomised to either an intervention or control group. The control group receive usual care, as recommended by evidence-based guidelines. The intervention group receive an individualised programme of exercises and counselling sessions. The 12-week exercise programme integrates multiple elements, including up to five in-person counselling sessions, supported by written materials. Participants are encouraged to seek social support among their friends and self-monitor their physical activity. The primary outcome is physical activity (daily step count and percentage of day spent in sedentary activities). Secondary outcomes include pain ratings, physical function, psychosocial factors and changes in clinical markers linked with potential common chronic diseases (diabetes and cardiovascular disease). All outcomes are assessed at baseline and 26 weeks later and again at 26 weeks post-surgery. Discussion: This study seeks to address a significant gap in current osteoarthritis management practice by providing evidence for the effectiveness of an exercise programme combined with behaviour counselling for adults waiting for hip and knee arthroplasty. Theory-driven evidence-based strategies that can improve an individual’s exercise self-efficacy and self-management capacity could have a significant impact on the development of secondary chronic disease in this population. Information gained from this study will contribute to the evidence base on the management of adults waiting for hip and knee arthroplasty.

description: This research is significant because few intensive studies have been conducted on the topic of affordable and responsive housing design for flood areas of Vietnam. It is also important because it brings a firsthand understanding of local people's resilience to changes caused by annual floods in the Mekong River Delta. More significantly, the outcome of this research suggested a set of key design recommendations for housing design in flood-prone areas in the Mekong Delta region, Vietnam. Lessons from this study could also be extended and applied to other Southeast Asian countries whose people are threatened by floods.

description: Alcohol hangover is one of the most commonly experienced consequences of alcohol consumption. An alcohol hangover develops as the blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) approaches zero, and is characterized by a general feeling of misery. More insight into the pathology of an alcohol hangover needs to be gained, in order to enhance the understanding of the area, and as a potential contribution to the innovation of a preventative or hangover curing treatment. The Alcohol Hangover Research Group (AHRG) was founded to support the area of alcohol hangover. This proceeding describes the latest findings in the area of alcohol hangovers, and future research plans, discussed at the 8th Alcohol Hangover Research Group meeting, held on June 25, 2016, New Orleans, USA.

description: Mit der Gesetzesnovelle von 2007 wurde das Gesetz zum Schutz gegen Fluglärm (FluLärmG), das in seiner bis dahin geltenden Fassung aus dem Jahr 1971 stammte, in verschiedenen wichtigen Punkten geändert und gestiegenen Anforderungen des Lärmschutzes angepasst. Um eine Weiterentwicklung und Anpassung an sich verändernde Rahmenbedingungen zu ermöglichen, wurde in § 2 Abs. 3 FluLärmG die Pflicht zur Evaluation festgelegt. Demzufolge erstattet die Bundesregierung spätestens im Jahre 2017 (und spätestens nach Ablauf von jeweils weiteren zehn Jahren) dem Deutschen Bundestag Bericht über die Überprüfung der in § 2 Abs. 2 FluLärmG genannten Schallpegel-Werte unter Berücksichtigung des Standes der Lärmwirkungsforschung und der Luftfahrttechnik. Im Zuge der Berichterstattung durch die Bundesregierung soll ebenfalls die Zweite Verordnung zur Durchführung des Gesetzes zum Schutz gegen Fluglärm (2. FlugLSV) einer Bewertung unterzogen werden. Diese Verordnung ist Gegenstand des vorliegenden Gutachtens.

description: Der jüngste Bericht des Weltklimarats (IPCC) legt nahe, dass im Jahr 2050 die globalen Treibhausgasemissionen um 40% bis 70% unter dem Niveau von 2010 liegen müssen um einen globalen Temperaturanstieg von mehr als 2˚C gegenüber dem vorindustriellen Niveau zu verhindern. Laut der 3. Treibhausgas-Studie der internationalen Schifffahrtsorganisation (IMO) werden die Emissionen des Schiffsverkehrs bis 2050 jedoch um 50% bis 250% steigen. Wenn der Rest der Welt auf dem Weg in Richtung des 2-Grad-Ziels ist, würde dies zu einer Erhöhung des Anteils an den weltweiten Emissionen vom derzeitigen Niveau von 2 auf 10% führen. Bislang gibt es jedoch weder auf EU-, noch auf globaler Ebene ein System, das die Höhe der Treibhausgasemissionen des Schiffsverkehrs reguliert. Vor diesen Hintergrund wurde diese sechs Diskussionspapiere in englischer Sprache für das Forschungsvorhaben "Analyse und Weiterentwicklung von Klimaschutzmaßnahmen im Seeschiffsverkehr unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Entwicklungen auf internationaler und europäischer Ebene" verfasst. Jedes einzelne Papier enthält eine deutsche und englische Zusammenfassung.Quelle: http://www.umweltbundesamt.de

Intrapreneurship, a construct that encompasses innovation, strategic renewal and corporate venturing, is important for improving the innovation performance of businesses. An innovation supportive culture is an essential factor in stimulating successful knowledge management and enhancing innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial activities. This study explores how Australian businesses can improve their knowledge transfer performance and stimulate the development of novel ideas, which are currently based on the adoption and adaptation of existing knowledge and technology.
Evaluating the ability to detect foreign objects in crops using laser range scanners mounted on agricultural vehicles
Creators: name: Doerr, Zacharie
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Agricultural.
subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: The general objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Laser Measurement Systems (LMS) mounted on an agricultural vehicle at detecting foreign objects in standing crops such as Hay, Wheat, Soy, and Oats. More specifically, to evaluate the effectiveness of various algorithms and evaluating the affect of various test parameters. A SICK LMS 291-S14 scanner was placed on an agricultural tractor to scan different standing crops in which standard test objects were placed. A high rate of detection was found for objects that were significantly taller than crops. Crop density or foliage cover had a negative impact on the detection rate for shorter test objects. Increasing vehicle speed was also found to reduce detection rates due to lower field scan resolution. The average height and density methods had greater success rates of 72.4% and 49.4%. The discontinuity and connectivity methods had a success rate of 20.6% and 18% respectively. This system, with the conjunction of other safety systems, may be useful for ensuring safe field operation of autonomous agricultural vehicles.

description: Im Forschungsprojekt „Komponentenzerlegung energiebedingter Treibhausgasemissionen mit Fokus auf den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien“ wurde der Beitrag erneuerbarer Energien zur Emissionsreduktion von Treibhausgasen in Deutschland analysiert. Als erstes wurden sowohl die Gemeinsamkeiten als auch die Gegensätze des Treibhausgasinventars und der Emissionsbilanz erneuerbarer Energieträger, mit dem Ziel, Harmonisierungspotenziale zu identifizieren, gegenübergestellt. In einem zweiten Schritt wurde die Methode der Komponentenzerlegung verwendet, um die Frage zu beantworten, wie stark die erneuerbaren Energien zur Minderung der Treibhausgasemissionen beigetragen haben.Der vorliegende Teilbericht stellt die Methode und die Ergebnisse der Komponentenzerlegung energiebedingter Treibhausgasemissionen mit Fokus auf den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien dar.
Association Rule Mining for Temporal Data without Lifespans
Creators: name: Zheng, Hui
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There are significant challenges in finding association rules for temporal data due to the associations' temporal factors. In particular, fuzzy temporal association rule mining, a widely applied human explainable method to reveal such rules by discovering fuzzy associations among temporal data, encounters a problematic issue caused by unknown lifespans of the patterns and associations, including start time and end time during the period of effective duration. More specifically, temporal data could have their unique lifespans. These lifespans are essential to the discovery of such temporal association rules. Current work only deals with objects that have directly observable lifespans. However, objects whose lifespans are usually unknown can only be indirectly estimated according to their effects. This thesis, therefore, aims to cope with unknown lifespans so that the proposed methods can serve the purpose of revealing temporal rules.
