Nucleus replacement: an investigation into biomechanical assessment protocols and surgical techniques
Creators: name: Rahman, Tamanna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Nucleus replacement devices (NRDs) have the potential to be a treatment for degenerative disc disease and to be used to replace herniated intervertebral disc (IVD) material. However, presently NRDs are not clinically used. This is predominantly due to the high occurrence of device expulsion through the annular implantation route. Subjecting NRDs to more rigorous in vitro testing may enable common failure mechanisms to be identified and avoided prior to clinical trials. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to propose more thorough biomechanical assessment protocols for NRDs. Firstly, this thesis investigated two critical NRD assessment protocols which are not clearly defined by the current international testing standards. Secondly, it investigated the potential of using digital volume correlation (DVC) to non-invasively assess NRD’s interaction with the surrounding IVD tissues. Finally, it investigated different nuclectomy techniques to recommend the least damaging (to the AF and endplates) surgical procedure. The first study recommended two expulsion protocols based on a comparison study made by assessing four different expulsion protocols reported in the literature. The results obtained indicated that there were no significant difference between the protocols if the loading parameters and the NRDs’ biomechanical properties (e.g., stiffness and viscoelastic recovery) are similar. However, it is recommended that partial rotation hula hoop and ramp to failure tests are performed to assess the number of cycles and the load at which NRD failure occurs. The second study investigated the role of the nucleus in recovery following daily activity simulating protocols. This enabled the role of the NP during the viscoelastic recovery to be delineated. The results obtained can be used as a benchmark for future NRD designs. The third study demonstrated the potential of DVC to be used as a tool to noninvasively obtain 3D strain distribution maps of the entire IVD to assess NRD devices. The results showed the effect of nuclectomy on the various components of strain and how the NRD interacted with the surrounding IVD tissues post-treatment. The last study compared three clinically used nuclectomy techniques; rongeurs, automated-shaver and laser. The automated shaver demonstrated to be superior to the other two techniques in terms of the location of material removal and the effects on the disc’s biomechanics. The novel experimental work conducted in this thesis has developed a greater understanding of the comparability between different expulsion protocols, on the role of the nucleus in disc height recovery, and how IVD strain distribution changes with nuclectomy, thus, providing benchmark data for future NRD designs. Meanwhile, the comparative experimental work on nuclectomy techniques will allow clinicians to select the least disruptive nucleus removal technique.

description: Various experimental and simulation studies have suggested that the presence of amphiphilic molecules in aqueous solutions substantially perturbs the tetrahedral hydrogen-bond (H-bond) network of neat liquid water. Such structural perturbation is expected to impact H-bond lifetime of liquid water. Tetramethylurea (TMU) is an example of an amphiphile because it possesses both hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties. Molecular dynamics simulations of (water+TMU) binary mixtures at various compositions have been performed in order to investigate the microscopic mechanism through which the amphiphiles influence the H-bond dynamics of liquid water at room temperature. Present simulations indicate lengthening of both water–water H-bond lifetime and H-bond structural relaxation time upon addition of TMU in aqueous solution. At the highest TMU mole fraction studied, H-bond lifetime and structural relaxation time are, respectively, ∼4 and ∼8 times longer than those in neat water. This is comparable with the slowing down of H-bond dynamics for water molecules confined in cyclodextrin cavities. Simulated relaxation profiles are multi-exponential in character at all mixture compositions, and simulated radial distribution functions suggest enhanced water–water and water–TMU interactions upon addition of TMU. No evidence for complete encapsulation of TMU by water H-bond network has been found.

description: Due to the increasing occurrence of natural disasters, importance of maintaining sustainable energy for cities and society is felt more than ever. On the other hand, power loss reduction is a challenging issue of active distribution networks (ADNs). In this paper, a new convex optimization model is proposed with two objective functions including energy loss reduction in normal operating mode and system load shedding minimization in critical conditions after the occurrence of natural disasters. This purpose is fulfilled through optimal allocation of distributed generation (DG) units from both conventional and renewable types as well as energy storage systems (ESSs). In addition, a new formulation has been derived to form optimal micro-grids (MGs) aiming at energy loss reduction in normal operating condition and resiliency index improvement under emergency situations. The developed model is implemented in GAMS software and the studies have been tested and analyzed on the IEEE 33-bus system. The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of energy loss reduction as well as resilience enhancement in extreme operation condition following severe disruptions in the system.

description: Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for automated vehicles (AVs) are typically divided into two categories: internal HMIs for interactions within the vehicle, and external HMIs for communication with other road users. In this work, we examine the prospects of bridging these two seemingly distinct domains. Through a participatory workshop with automotive user interface researchers and practitioners, we facilitated a critical exploration of holistic HMI design by having workshop participants collaboratively develop interaction scenarios involving AVs, in-vehicle users, and external road users. The discussion offers insights into the escalation of interface elements as an HMI design strategy, the direct interactions between different users, and an expanded understanding of holistic HMI design. This work reflects a collaborative effort to understand the practical aspects of this holistic design approach, offering new perspectives and encouraging further investigation into this underexplored aspect of automotive user interfaces.

description: This thesis investigates the issue of abstraction and spirituality in the development of my Master of Visual Arts Project. I aim to acknowledge and integrate the various influences on the development of this body of work. Over the last twelve months I have worked intermittently at Numbulwar School in the Gulf of Carpentaria. These trips have provided inspiration for the development of Occean as has my residency at Darwin High School where my studio overlooks the sea. I begin by exploring the development of Modernism and abstraction as deriving from nature. The abstraction of Occean maintains close links to the natural environment of the Top End, retaining a classical basis for the work. I acknowledge the influence of Romanticism and notions of the sublime and examine their contemporary value in painting. These canons provide the basis for Occean, however the impact of place plays a pivotal role upon my work. The cultural and physical landscape of the Top End provides a rich and fertile environment that challenges traditional European concepts of both abstraction and spirituality.

description: Phytoplasmas associated with Australian grapevine yellows (AGY) symptoms were detected using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To optimise the diagnostic, nested PCRs were compared with single PCRs using different primer pairs. Grapevine DNA known to be AGY phytoplasma positive was serially diluted and subjected to nested and single round PCR tests to determine which was the most sensitive. Samples taken over two growing seasons were used to determine the optimum sampling time for phytoplasma detection. The specificity of primer pairs was determined using phytoplasmas detected in Australian grapevines and overseas reference grapevine phytoplasmas. DNA extracted from grapevine exhibiting a range of symptoms was screened for phytoplasmas. Two different phytoplasmas were amplified in the PCR and they were identified using specific PCR primers and by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and 16S rRNA/23S rRNA spacer region. RFLP analysis confirmed that one phytoplasma was the AGY phytoplasma and the other phytoplasma was indistinguishable from the tomato big bud (TBB) phytoplasma. The AGY phytoplasma was associated with AGY symptoms but was occasionally detected in asymptomatic vines and those with late season leaf curl (LSLC) and restricted growth (RG) symptoms. The TBB phytoplasma was detected in some vines with LSLC symptoms and very occasionally in vines with AGY symptoms. A 'variant' of the AGY phytoplasma was also detected in vines showing typical AGY symptoms.

description: From Karaj and Takestan (Iran) vineyards bacterial colonies typical of Agrobacterium were isolated from soil, plant sap and young galls on a selective medium during early spring 1996. Bacterial isolates that were gram-negative and oxidase- and catalase-positive were cultured on King's B medium in order to be distinguishable from fluorescing pseudomonads. Thirty-two Agrobacterium isolates were inoculated on test plants such as Datura, Nicotiana and Lycopersicon. Pathogenic isolates were inoculated on 10 different Iranian grape varieties for gall formation. A biovar differentiation study showed that 7 pathogenic strains and 15 non-pathogenic strains belong to A. vitis, whereas 6 non-pathogenic strains belong to biovar 1 and 4 non-pathogenic strains to biovar 2 of Agrobacterium spp. Pathogenic strains of A. vitis were characterized on the basis of phenotypic tests, protein and plasmid profiles and an antibiotic sensitivity test. Electrophoretic studies revealed that A. vitis strains were different with regard to the protein profile but shared a common high molecular weight plasmid DNA band in the agarose gel. It is concluded that the Iranian strains of A. vitis are phenotypically guile heterogeneous and distinguishable.

description: A cytogenetic technique was developed to produce suitable chromosome spreads for phylloxera karyotype analysis. The karyotype for pathogenetic phylloxera was 2 n = 10. Karyotypes from haploid sex cells were found to vary between n = 5 and n = 6, the latter possibly indicating an aneuploidic aberration. Tetra- and polyploid cells were detected in somatic trophocytes. Preparation of phylloxera sex and somatic cells for chromosomal analysis reported here enables the study of genetic variation on a chromosomal scale.

description: n continuation of our ongoing study on Mediterranean Flora, we focused the attention on Cistus genus. These plants possess interesting secondary metabolites and are used in many fields, principally in perfumery and more recently as raw material for food supplements (botanicals). n this article, we report the phytochemical analysis of Cistus libanotis L. from Tunisia. Among the diterpenes, labdane compounds resulted absent, in favour of two clerodanes, one of that never reported in Cistus sp. The main representative compounds were found to be several flavonoids with various grades of O-methylation. Other interesting components were two cinnamic esters of borneol, reported here for the first time in Cistus. The identified compounds confirm in part the reported biological properties and add chemotaxonomic data to this complicated genus.

description: This Research through Design paper explores how object detection may be applied to a large digital art museum collection to facilitate new ways of encountering and experiencing art. We present the design and evaluation of an interactive application called SMKExplore, which allows users to explore a museum's digital collection of paintings by browsing through objects detected in the images, as a novel form of open-ended exploration. We provide three contributions. First, we show how an object detection pipeline can be integrated into a design process for visual exploration. Second, we present the design and development of an app that enables exploration of an art museum's collection. Third, we offer reflections on future possibilities for museums and HCI researchers to incorporate object detection techniques into the digitalization of museums.

description: An efficient four-component synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles is described by one-step condensation of an aldehyde, benzil, ammonium acetate and primary aromatic amine with nanostructure Fe-Cu/ZSM-5 bimetallic oxides in water under ultrasonic irradiation. The short reaction time, good yields, environmental friendly procedure, mild reaction conditions and convenient operation are important advantage of this protocol. The products generated during the study have been utilized as substrates for synthesis of organosilicon-containing imidazoles. Synthesis of tris(triorganosilyl)methylimidazole derivatives were carried out using organolithium reagent (Me3Si)3CLi, prepared via metalation of (Me3Si)3CH with methyllithium in THF, in excellent yields.

description: The Achmatowicz rearrangement converts furfuryl alcohols, obtainable from renewable carbohydrates, into 6-hydroxy-2H-pyrane-3(6H)-ones, which are versatile intermediates for organic synthesis. We describe here the first examples of a solvent-free mechanochemical Achmatowicz rearrangement. Furfuryl alcohols were prepared from furfurals using mechanochemically initiated reductions and Reformatsky- or Luche-reactions. Mechanochemical reaction conditions for the Achmatowicz rearrangement of the so obtained furfuryl alcohols were optimized and applied to a series of derivatives yielding the corresponding rearrangements products in yields of 39 to 95%.
The role of hairs on the wettability of grapevine (Vitis spp.) leaves

description: Hairs represent an important physico-chemical factor on abaxial leaf surfaces of grapevine and can influence the wettability of leaves. This was demonstrated by scanning electron micrographs and monitored with a new method using a torsion balance. Forces necessary to remove water droplets of distinct size from leaves were lower in case of pubescent (0,2-0,4 mN) compared to non-pubescent vine leaves (0,4-1,2 mN). Depending on the number of hairs and their surface structure the deposition and distribution of water droplets originating from dew and rain can be prevented due to weak adhesion. Thus, surface features enabling water droplets to pearl off may reduce the probability of infection by fungal spores.

Investigating the effects of kisspeptin administration on sexual brain processing in women and men with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)
Creators: name: Ertl, Natalie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Background Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) refers to a loss of desire for sexual activity causing marked distress. The disorder affects up to 10% of women and 8% of men, making it among the most common sexual health complaints. Kisspeptin is an endogenous neuropeptide which plays a vital role in the downstream signalling of reproductive hormones. Kisspeptin receptors are expressed primarily in the hypothalamus but also in limbic regions, suggesting kisspeptin may play a role in behaviour as well as reproduction. Aims To investigate the effects of kisspeptin on sexual brain processing using fMRI in women and men with HSDD. Method Two randomised, cross-over, double-blinded placebo-controlled studies were conducted with 32 women and 32 men with HSDD. Both studies followed the same protocol. Sexual brain processing was assessed using a ‘short video’ block design task, a ‘long video’ naturalistic design task and a ‘facial attractiveness’ event-related design task. Hormonal and psychometric questionnaire data were also collected. In the male study, an additional penile tumescence measure was used to assess objective sexual arousal during the long video task. Results In both male and female participants kisspeptin deactivated brain regions which are thought to be hyperactive in HSDD in response to visual sexual stimuli. Brain data correlated with changes in psychometric scores, providing behavioural relevance, and in the male participants, kisspeptin significantly enhanced the penile tumescent response. Conclusions The pathology of HSDD may be related to hyperactivity in cortical brain regions which are associated with introspective self-monitoring, leading to a top-down inhibition of the sexual response. Kisspeptin may act to deactivate these brains regions, thereby blocking this ‘top-down’ effect. These proof-of-concept studies suggest further research of kisspeptin analogues may provide a useful treatment for HSDD in both sexes.

description: Shoot organogenesis was previously observed in vitro on a callus structure originating from an assemblage of two grape cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.): Chardonnay 7535 and Pinot noir 7613. Adventitious buds were assumed to be candidates of chimeras. RAPD analysis was used to distinguish between the two grapevine cultivars at a molecular level and to verify the hypothetical chimerical character of adventitious shoots.

Fractal geometry-based image analysis of grapevine leaves using the box counting algorithm
Creators: name: Mancuso, S.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: An image analysis method based on the box counting algorithm was evaluated for its potential to characterize grapevine leaves. Although vine leaves lack the self-similarity of the theoretical fractals, leaves are candidates for characterization using fractal analysis because of their highly complex structure. The results showed for 11 Sangiovese-related genotypes fractal dimensions significantly being different except for (1) Prugnolo acerbo, Prugnolo dolce and Prugnolo medio and (2) Chiantino, Brunelletto and Morellino di Scansano, which have shown a high similarity in agreement with previous studies. Fractal dimension calculated for leaves of Sangiovese R10 grown in very different environments did not show any statistically significant modification revealing that fractal dimension can be considered environment-independent. Consequently, fractal dimension could be used as a descriptive, scale-invariant, condensed, morphological parameter in ampelographic research. The role of the fractal dimension as an additional morphological parameter in future ampelographic classification schemes of grapevine leaves is discussed.

title: Alexithymia and illness perceptions in persons with multiple sclerosis and their partners:
title: A preliminary study
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Luca, Maria
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Background: Illness perceptions encompass opinions regarding the nature,
 severity and curability of a disease, that can influence the adjustment to
 and management of chronic illnesses. Despite their importance, little is
 known about what may influence the formation of illness appraisals.

 Aims: My literature review aimed to synthesise and critically appraise
 quantitative evidence regarding the relationship between illness
 perceptions (among persons with multiple sclerosis and their caregivers)
 and outcome measures. My empirical study tested alexithymic traits as
 possibly associated with illness perceptions among persons with multiple
 sclerosis and their partners, as well as within the dyads composed of
 persons with multiple sclerosis and partners.

 Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on MEDLINE,
 PsycINFO, and CINAHL. Twenty papers were selected, quality appraised and
 synthesized using a narrative approach. A crosssectional study was
 conducted on persons with multiple sclerosis and their partners, who
 completed a battery of questionnaires, including the Toronto Alexithymia
 Scale-20 (to assess alexithymic traits) and the Illness Perception
 Questionnaire Revised (to investigate the participants’ perceptions about
 multiple sclerosis). A dyadic data analysis (Actor-Partner Interdependence
 Model) was performed in order to

 test the effect of alexithymic traits both on a person’s own illness
 perceptions (actor effect) and on the partner’s illness perceptions
 (partner effect).

 Findings: The findings of my literature review indicate a link between
 negative illness perceptions (e.g. more severe consequences) and worse
 psychophysical outcomes (e.g. fatigue). The results of the empirical study
 indicate that alexithymic traits may be associated with some illness
 perceptions both at

 the individual and dyadic level, whereby higher alexithymic traits relate
 to more negative illness perceptions.

 Conclusion: My literature review highlights the clinical importance of
 illness perceptions. The findings of the cross-sectional research,
 reporting a relationship between alexithymia and more negative illness
 appraisals, may inform therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing
 alexithymic traits, which in turn may reduce negative, and potentially
 dysfunctional, illness perceptions.

description: DNA and isoenzyme analyses were used to characterize 20 table grape cultivars including Moscato d'Amburgo, Italia, Sultanina, Bicane and some recently released new varieties. GPI and PGM isoenzyme systems were able to separate the cultivars into 9 groups whereas the 8 microsatellite loci that were analysed revealed a higher discriminating power. In fact, all the cultivars could be distinguished by DNA profiles except Sugraone from its sport Sugrafive. Parentage analysis confirmed that the cultivar Italia was obtained from the crossing Bicane x Moscato d'Amburgo. A difference was observed at one microsatellite locus between Sultanina and the published data for Thompson Seedless, considered to be its synonym. The different microsatellite loci were evaluated for their informativeness.
