title: Effects of Five Different Finger Rest Positions on Arm Muscle Activity During Scaling by Dental Hygiene Students
Creators: name: Cosaboom, Mary Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This study was conducted to determine the effects of five different finger rest positions, (fulcrums: opposite arch, standard intra-oral, basic extra-oral, cross arch and finger on finger) on the muscle activity of four forearm muscles, (extensor carpi radialis longus, flexor carpi ulnar is, biceps brachii and pronator teres) during a simulated periodontal scaling experience. A convenience sample of 32 consenting right handed senior dental hygiene students who met inclusion criteria participated. The 32 students had no history of injuries or disabilities to the right arm, wrist, or hand. Pre-test maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) scores were obtained prior to scaling. Using a 4 x 5 counterbalanced research design, each participant used a Premier Gracey 11/12 curet to scale up to one cc of artificial calculus from the mesiobuccal surfaces of first permanent molar typodont teeth (Nos. 3, 14, 19, and 30). Five different typodonts were set up for each participant with a different fulcrum randomly assigned for use on each typodont. Each participant scaled what calculus they could in a controlled, simulated situation for up to one minute per tooth using the randomly assigned fulcrum. While scaling, participants' muscle activity was measured using surface electromyography (sEMG). Two-way ANOV A with repeated measures revealed no statistically significant interaction effect between area of the mouth scaled, muscle activity, and fulcrum used. Results revealed that following 20, one-minute scaling sessions using a hand instrument to remove artificial calculus, there was similar muscle activity generated. While scaling, forearm muscle activity was least when using the opposite arch fulcrum and most when using the cross arch fulcrum. Regardless of where scaling started more muscle activity occurred in the maxillary right quadrant and the least in the mandibular left. Based on the results, similar muscle activity is produced while scaling when using all of the five fulcrums tested in each area of the mouth. Clinicians appear to experience minimal ergonomic advantages in terms of fulcrum used and area of the mouth scaled during a simulated scaling experience. Characteristics of the patient may be more important when choosing a fulcrum than the amount of muscle activity generated.

description: Meaningfully meaningless anti-comedy is the logical next step in comedy’s evolution as we head into wildly uncertain hypermodern times. Three major case studies from the 21st century will allow us to truly understand this timely transformation: the works of comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim (of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!) Eric André (of The Eric André Show) and the troupe Million Dollar Extreme (of Million Dollar Extreme Presents World Peace). The three share similar sinews in style; despite their surface-level aesthetic similarities, however, the three utilize the weaponized subgenre to fire shots at completely distinct facets of hypermodern culture.

description: We review different dark energy cosmologies. In particular, we present the $Λ$CDM cosmology, Little Rip and Pseudo-Rip universes, the phantom and quintessence cosmologies with Type I, II, III and IV finite-time future singularities and non-singular dark energy universes. In the first part, we explain the $Λ$CDM model and well-established observational tests which constrain the current cosmic acceleration. After that, we investigate the dark fluid universe where a fluid has quite general equation of state (EoS) [including inhomogeneous or imperfect EoS]. All the above dark energy cosmologies for different fluids are explicitly realized, and their properties are also explored. It is shown that all the above dark energy universes may mimic the $Λ$CDM model currently, consistent with the recent observational data. Furthermore, special attention is paid to the equivalence of different dark energy models. We consider single and multiple scalar field theories, tachyon scalar theory and holographic dark energy as models for current acceleration with the features of quintessence/phantom cosmology, and demonstrate their equivalence to the corresponding fluid descriptions. In the second part, we study another equivalent class of dark energy models which includes $F(R)$ gravity as well as $F(R)$ Hořava-Lifshitz gravity and the teleparallel $f(T)$ gravity. The cosmology of such models representing the $Λ$CDM-like universe or the accelerating expansion with the quintessence/phantom nature is described. Finally, we approach the problem of testing dark energy and alternative gravity models to general relativity by cosmography. We show that degeneration among parameters can be removed by accurate data analysis of large data samples and also present the examples.

Multi-level buyer-supplier relationships and their influence on Supply
      Chain Risk Management
Creators: name: Fan, Yiyi
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis investigates the role of buyer-supplier relationships (BSRs)
      at two different levels: the inter-organisational and inter-personal
      levels, in supply chain risk management (SCRM). The research is framed
      within the field of SCRM that is aimed at developing strategies for the
      identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring of risk in supply
      chains to achieve desirable outcomes (e.g. more resilience). The thesis
      contributes to an emerging debate that examines how multi-level BSRs
      affect the SCRM process. The thesis has a particular focus on the risk
      identification stage, and examines how multi-level BSRs influence
      supply-side resilience as the desirable outcome of SCRM.

      Previous research studies have mainly acknowledged the use of traditional
      intra-organisational practices, such as increasing operational slack or
      building strategic stock in SCRM. While a few studies have highlighted the
      inter-organisational collaboration in SCRM, influence from inter-personal
      relationships and the interplay between the two levels of BSRs have been
      overlooked. This thesis, therefore, aims to fill this particular gap
      through a sequential exploratory mixed methods approach in order to offer
      insights into the theoretical and practical value of studying the role of
      multi-level BSRs in affecting the process and outcome of SCRM.

      The overarching research question asked in this thesis is: How does the
      BSR affect the process and outcome of SCRM? To answer this, three
      inter-related papers are proposed: (1) a systematic literature review on
      SCRM; (2) a multiple case study paper on the role of BSRs on both the
      organisational and individual levelsin risk identification in the SCRM
      process; and (3) a survey paper examining the effect of multi-level BSRs
      on supply-side resilience as the desirable outcome of SCRM. The three
      studies complement each other and, together, provide a comprehensive
      understanding of the impact of multi-level BSRs on the process and outcome
      of SCRM. By using the social capital theory and signalling theory lenses,
      the findings highlight the ‘too much of a good thing’ effect of
      multi-level BSRs on the process and outcome of SCRM. From this, the
      practical contribution is drawn that organisations aiming to effectively
      manage supply chain risks (SCRs) need to deploy both inter-organisational
      and inter-personal relational practices in combination in order to achieve
      better SCRM performance.
An analysis of temporal and spatial patterns in global seabird abundance during the modern industrial era, 1950-2010, and the relationship between global seabird decline and marine fisheries catch
Creators: name: Paleczny, Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Seabird populations worldwide are threatened by anthropogenic activities including hunting, introduced predators, habitat destruction, pollution, and fisheries, yet the cumulative effects of these threats on seabird populations is difficult to assess because seabird population studies are mainly limited to small temporal and spatial scales. The present study used global databases of seabird abundance, seabird distribution, and fisheries catch, to estimate global annual seabird population size, overall and by seabird family, 1950-2010; map observed global seabird population change within the same timeframe; and compare temporal and spatial patterns in seabird decline with fisheries, a major threat for which global temporally and spatially explicit data is available throughout the modern industrial era. The global seabird population was estimated to decline by 25% during the modern industrial era, from 1.023 billion individuals in 1950 to 0.768 billion individuals in 2010, and overall decline was observed in eleven of the fourteen seabird families. Maps of observed seabird population change indicated decline covering 90% of the world’s marine surface area, and most severe in the southern temperate and tropical oceans. There was a significant positive relationship between annual seabird decline and annual forage fish catch (a metric of forage fish depletion), as well as between observed seabird decline per spatial cell and year of maximum primary production to support fisheries per marine spatial cell (a metric of the timing of peak ecological footprint of fisheries), both indicating that fisheries presence may play a role in shaping spatial and temporal patterns in global seabird population change. The present study identifies the temporally, taxonomically and spatially pervasive nature of global seabird decline during the modern industrial era and a potentially globally important role of fisheries in this global seabird decline, thus indicating the need for a large-scale and precautionary approach to seabird and marine ecosystem management.

description: The year 1920 marked a significant career move for Margaret Turnbull. An article in the September 4 issue of Moving Picture World announced that she was chosen to write scenarios for the newly created Famous Players-Lasky studios in Islington, England. Her career with the studio up to this point was prolific; the article credits her with writing or adapting approximately sixty screenplays. She was also credited with writing novels and plays, and the article claimed that her diverse background enhanced her aptitude for “adapting the work of British writers for the screen” (66). One notable play was “Classmates” that she cowrote in 1907 with William deMille. This work was likely a significant success because it was made into a film in 1914. DeMille also joined Famous Players-Lasky in that year along with Turnbull’s brother Hector, who would gain fame a year later as the main screenwriter on The Cheat (1915). Thus, Turnbull had important connections at the studio’s Scenario Department in Hollywood.

description: Background: Approximately 28.5 million people living with HIV are eligible for treatment (CD4&500), but currently have no access to antiretroviral therapy. Reduced serum level of micronutrients is common in HIV disease. Micronutrient supplementation (MNS) may mitigate disease progression and mortality. Objectives: We synthesized evidence on the effect of micronutrient supplementation on mortality and rate of disease progression in HIV disease.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central, AMED and CINAHL databases through December 2014, without language restriction, for studies of greater than 3 micronutrients versus any or no comparator. We built a hierarchical Bayesian random effects model to synthesize results. Inferences are based on the posterior distribution of the population effects; posterior distributions were approximated by Markov chain Monte Carlo in OpenBugs.
Principal Findings: From 2166 initial references, we selected 49 studies for full review and identified eight reporting on disease progression and/or mortality. Bayesian synthesis of data from 2,249 adults in three studies estimated the relative risk of disease progression in subjects on MNS vs. control as 0.62 (95% credible interval, 0.37, 0.96). Median number needed to treat is 8.4 (4.8, 29.9) and the Bayes Factor 53.4. Based on data reporting on 4,095 adults reporting mortality in 7 randomized controlled studies, the RR was 0.84 (0.38, 1.85), NNT is 25 (4.3, ∞).
Conclusions: MNS significantly and substantially slows disease progression in HIV+ adults not on ARV, and possibly reduces mortality. Micronutrient supplements are effective in reducing progression with a posterior probability of 97.9%. Considering MNS low cost and lack of adverse effects, MNS should be standard of care for HIV+ adults not yet on ARV.

description: What did it mean to be a film star in the second decade of film’s existence, at a time when the idea of film stardom itself was just beginning to take shape? The career of Florence Turner offers an illuminating opportunity to consider this question, especially as she has been identified as one of the two “first big movie stars” (the other being Florence Lawrence) by no less an authority than Eileen Bowser (Bowser 1994). Aside from sharing the same first name, Turner and Lawrence both found themselves initially identified with the companies producing their motion pictures: Lawrence came to be known as “the Biograph Girl” while Turner gained fame as “the Vitagraph Girl.” The two were also among the first actors to make personal appearances in promotion of their films, ushering in an era when performers were enlisted to publicize themselves, thereby aiding in the emergence of cinema as an institution.

The most concrete acknowledgment of this behind-the-camera labor is found in their last film, Baroud (1932), in which she did not appear but for which she received on-screen co-directorial credit.

description: The temperature and pressure dependent electrical resistivity rho(T,P) studies have been performed on BaMn2As2 single crystal in the 4.2 to 300 K range upto of 8.2 GPa to investigate the evolution of its ground state properties. The rho(T) shows a negative co-efficient of resistivity under pressure upto 3.2 GPa. The occurrence of an insulator to metal transition (MIT) in an external P ~4.5 GPa is indicated by a change in the temperature co-efficient in the rho(T) data at ~36 K . However complete metallization in entire temperature range is seen at a P~5.8 GPa. High pressure XRD studies carried out at room temperature also shows an anomaly in the pressure versus volume curve around P ~ 5 GPa, without a change in crystal structure, indicative of an electronic transition. Further, a clear precipitous drop in rho(T) at ~17 K is seen for P ~5.8 GPa which suggests the possibility of the system going over to a superconducting ground state.

We propose a new method to reveal the different convertibility by local operations when a quantum phase transition occurs. We have studied the ground state local convertibility in the one dimensional transverse field Ising model, XY model and XXZ model. It is found that the eLOCC convertibility sudden changes at the phase transition points. In transverse field Ising model the eLOCC convertibility between the first excited state and the ground state are also distinct for different phases. The relation between the order of quantum phase transitions and the local convertibility is discussed.

description: One of comedienne Fay Tincher’s few extant titles, Rowdy Ann (1919), has been described recently by Andrew Grossman, as “one of the first American films, comic or otherwise, to legitimately address the social psychology of gender construction.” But Tincher is barely mentioned, if at all, in histories of the silent era. Kalton C. Lahue and Samuel Gill are among the few to acknowledge her significance, writing that her work with Al Christie between 1919–1920 “ranked among the best on the screen at the time” (372). They suggest, as have others, that she had “some of the elusive qualities of Mabel Normand,” and conclude that her disappearance from the screen in 1928 remains a mystery (368). More recently, where she does receive a few lines, scholars selectively represent her career, as when Karen Mahar remarks that Tincher, whom she too sees as the closest to Normand in beauty and ability, reached fame between 1923 and 1928 playing the wife in the Andy Gump series (Mahar 2006, 130). Tincher did play Min Gump, although not in her wackiest phase during her peak, but rather at a time when her stardom was on a decline. Yes, the “Gump” series was very popular, but Tincher’s heyday was between 1914 and 1920 when, for one and a half years, between 1917 and 1919, she was reported as having had her own company, Fay Tincher Productions. Here, she invites comparison with other popular comediennes who gave their names to short-lived companies—Normand, Marie Dressler, Flora Finch, Gale Henry.

description: Screenwriter Wanda Tuchock retains a singular role in film history as one of the few women who began her career in the silent era and was able to maintain her career in Hollywood during the early sound years. It is now well known that after the end of the silent era, the number of women directors trickled down to nearly zero. Anthony Slide highlights this for us by pointing out that screenwriter Wanda Tuchock was the only woman apart from Dorothy Arzner to receive a directing credit on a Hollywood studio film in the 1930s (Slide 1996, 136). Tuchock shared the directing credit with George Nichols, Jr., on the RKO production Finishing School (1934). This legacy must have defined her career, as it is highlighted in her Chicago Tribune obituary, which also offers the information that she entered the industry in 1927 from work as an advertising copy editor, and this would have been when she was nearly thirty years old (A6).

description: By the time Gloria Swanson started her own production company, she had already been part of the film industry for over a decade. Many actresses started their own production companies in the 1920s and ’30s in an effort to gain more artistic freedom and a bigger percentage of the profits. Rarely, however, were actresses involved in the day-to-day workings of such an arrangement. Directors, husbands, or studio heads usually handled details. Gloria Swanson, however, remains an exception as she handled the business side of her first company; she did it not for “artistic freedom” but, according to Swanson herself, in retaliation against Jesse Lasky (Swanson 261).

description: Recently a {\it local} true (completely gauge fixed) Hamiltonian for spherically symmetric collapse was derived in terms of Ashtekar variables. We show that such a local Hamiltonian follows directly from the geometrodynamics of gravity theories that obey a Birkhoff theorem and possess a mass function that is constant on the constraint surface in vacuum. In addition to clarifying the geometrical content, our approach has the advantage that it can be directly applied to a large class of spherically symmetric and 2D gravity theories, including $p$-th order Lovelock gravity in D dimensions. The resulting expression for the true local Hamiltonian is universal and remarkably simple in form.

Prostate segmentation for medical interventions

description: Prostate cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among men. Accurate delineation and appropriate visualization of the prostatic region can greatly affect treatment of prostate cancer and has the potential to reduce some of the treatment side-effects. The main goal of this research is to develop a prostate segmentation tool which is suitable to replace manual delineation. Manual segmentation, the current standard in procedures such as low dose rate prostate brachytherapy, is tedious, time consuming and observer dependent. We propose a 3D semi-automatic segmentation tool to overcome these limitations. To show the clinical value of this method we perform extensive dosimetric evaluation on in-vivo ultrasound images. This tool is currently being clinically used as part of the prostate brachytherapy treatment procedure at the BC Cancer Agency. Ultrasound is the common modality for imaging the prostate. Although safe and simple to use, it can not always allow the prostate to be reliably delineated. Vibro-elastography is a relatively new imaging method which is used to characterize mechanical properties of tissue. We investigate the suitability of vibro-elastography for visualizing the prostate. We compare in-vivo B-mode ultrasound and vibro-elastograpy images with the gold standard MRI in terms of contrast, edge visibility and the shape and size of the gland as seen in these images. Based on our results we develop a 3D automatic prostate segmentation tool in which, in addition to B-mode, information from vibro-elastography images is used in an iterative model-based segmentation approach. We conclude this work by studying the visibility of cancer itself in vibro-elastography images. Areas suspected for cancer are manually marked on the images and the results are compared to the marked cancer in registered pathology slices. Our preliminary results show that vibro-elastography has the potential to be used for detecting prostate cancer; however, we suggest a combined use of various modalities or image types to improve cancer detection.

description: Finite topological quantum systems can undergo continuous metastable quantum phase transitions to change their topological nature. Here we show how to nucleate the transition between ring currents and dark soliton states in a toroidally trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. An adiabatic passage to wind and unwind its phase is achieved by explicit global breaking of the rotational symmetry. This could be realized with current experimental technology.

Nou- and 5 paratypes MNHN 20113), 4 dd; stn 1367, Ilot Goéland, méa. EXPÉDITION MONTROUZIER: stn 1345, off Nouville, 22°24.1’S, 166°23.7’E, 10 m, 1 lv, 3 dd (4 paratypes MNHN 22°16.1’S, 166°23.7’E, 15 m, 6 lv (holotype MNHN 20112 20114). DISTRIBUTION. — New Caledonia: Nouméa, off Nouville, Ilot Goéland, live in 10-15 m. DESCRIPTION. — Shell up to 5.1 mm long, slender, slightly curved, fragile, thin, translucent with regular opaque white patches, clearly visible growth lines. Maximum diameter close to peristome. Apex dorsoventrally compressed, with dorsal and ventral lobes, the ventral one larger than the dorsal one. Preapical callus simple, lumen circular. Mouth circular. Measurements of holotype: L 5.1, W 0.5, w 0.21. REMARKS. — This species differs from the other four Dischides species in the area by its slenderness and because its maximum diameter is close to the peristome. Dischides viperidens (Melvill & Standen, 1896), the commonest littoral species of New Caledonia, is smaller, its maximum diameter located within the anterior 1/3 of the shell and the lobes are as not so well defined. Dischides yateensis Scarabino, 1995 is larger and thicker, possessing a prominent preapical callus and a laterally compressed anterior aperture. Dischides prionotus (Watson, 1879) and D. dichelus (Watson, 1879), two species with a wide distribution throughout the southwest Pacific and the Indian Ocean, have a more fusiform shape. The only species with which D. belenae could be confused is D. minutus (Adams, 1872) from the Gulf of Aden, but D. belenae is more slender. ETYMOLOGY. — Named after the author’s granddaughter, Belén.

Antibunching photons in a cavity coupled to an optomechanical system

description: We study the photon statistics of a cavity linearly coupled to an optomechanical system via second order correlation functions. Our calculations show that the cavity can exhibit strong photon antibunching even when optomechanical interaction in the optomechanical system is weak. The cooperation between the weak optomechanical interaction and the destructive interference between different paths for two-photon excitation leads to the efficient antibunching effect. Compared with the standard optomechanical system, the coupling between a cavity and an optomechanical system provides a method to relax the constraints to obtain single photon by optomechanical interaction.

description: Although Eliane Tayar is undoubtedly a fascinating figure, she is a relative footnote in any study of the silent film era, having made her first appearance as a film actress at the end of the 1920s. Daughter of Salomon Tayar, a Libyan stockbroker of Caucasic origins, and of Jeanne Monteauzé, a French woman, she had a difficult childhood. She lost her mother when she was six years old and grew up in a convent until the age of seventeen, marrying soon after in 1921. It may be that she established contacts in the cinema world through her first husband, Fraisse Zamisky, who was probably introduced to her by her father, and who was a banker and owner of the celluloid factory Anel et Fraisse. Tayar’s father died in 1922 and Zamisky, who was addicted to gambling, killed himself in 1923 after filing for bankruptcy (Mazet 2000, 14). At nineteen years old, Tayar was both orphan and widow. She had a younger sister, Henriette, who studied fine arts starting in 1930 and most likely introduced Eliane into the Parisian artistic milieu.

description: As in statistical physics, the concept of universality plays an important, albeit qualitative, role in the field of comparative mythology. Here we apply statistical mechanical tools to analyse the networks underlying three iconic mythological narratives with a view to identifying common and distinguishing quantitative features. Of the three narratives, an Anglo-Saxon and a Greek text are mostly believed by antiquarians to be partly historically based while the third, an Irish epic, is often considered to be fictional. Here we show that network analysis is able to discriminate real from imaginary social networks and place mythological narratives on the spectrum between them. Moreover, the perceived artificiality of the Irish narrative can be traced back to anomalous features associated with six characters. Considering these as amalgams of several entities or proxies, renders the plausibility of the Irish text comparable to the others from a network-theoretic point of view.

DISTRIBUTION. — North of New Caledonia: Grand Passage; Vanuatu; live in 270 m, shells in 160-182 m. DESCRIPTION. — Shell up to 7.4 mm long, regularly curved except close to the mouth, where a prominent bulge forms. Shiny, translucent except at bulge area, where it is opaque white. Maximum diameter at bulge, close to peristome. Growth lines pronounced. Apex slightly dorsoventrally compressed, with ventral and dorsal lobes, ventral one larger and sharper, with a small protuberance near the tip of its internal wall. Preapical callus thin, lumen subcircular. Mouth dorsoventrally compressed. Measurements of holotype: L 7.4, W 1, w 0.55-0.50, arc 0.5. REMARKS. — Dischides celeciai is similar to D. montrouzieri, described below, both having a bulge close to the mouth. The differences are in the width of the apex in relation to the length of the shell and in the form of the apical lobes. Dischides celeciai is less tapering and its apical lobes are shorter and wider than in D. montrouzieri. There are also differences in the surface texture, D. montrouzieri being smoother. ETYMOLOGY. — Named after Dr John Celecia (Paris, France) for his continuous support and help.

description: We analyze work done on a quantum system driven by a control field. The average work depends on the whole dynamics of the system, and is obtained as the integral of the average power operator. As a specific example we focus on a superconducting Cooper-pair box forming a two-level system. We obtain expressions for the average work and work distribution in a closed system, and discuss control field and environment contributions to the average work for an open system.

description: Kinuyo Tanaka was, and still is, one of the most celebrated stars in the history of Japanese cinema. She dedicated her whole life to cinema, acting in over 250 films and collaborating with the most important directors. In the post-war period, Tanaka herself became a film director, the second woman in Japan after wartime filmmaker Tazuko Sakane. Between 1953 and 1962, Tanaka directed six feature films working within the mainstream cinema produced by the Japanese studio system. She was the only female director active during the post-war Golden Age of Japanese cinema in the late 1950s. Her outstanding career in front of and behind the camera not only accompanies the history and technical transformations of cinema in Japan, from the silent era until the late 1970s. It also embodies the socio-political and cultural changes of Japanese society and its female members, offering a unique opportunity to examine the intersections between women’s authorship, representation, and gender discourses in modern Japan.

description: We reconsider a classical theorem by Bican and El Bashir, which guarantees the existence of non-trivial relatively pure submodules in a module category over a ring with unit. Our aim is to generalize the theorem to module categories over rings with several objects. As an application we then consider the special case of alpha-pure objects in such module categories.

description: Jenny Strömberg was the first woman credited in filmmaking in Finland for her appearance in the film Släpjakt/Drag Hunt (1908). She arranged the filmed event and appeared in the film as herself, and was the only one mentioned by name in the adverts and reviews of the film. Her drag hunts initiated the making of the film, and she led the hunt on horseback, but most likely she had nothing to do with the actual filmmaking. There are also no hints about her participation in financing the filmmaking or other tasks associated with the traditional role of producer. Nevertheless, she was promoting the hunt dogs that appeared in the film and her husband was among the wealthiest businessmen in Finland, which means that she could have financed the film, if it was needed.
