description: The liver energy metabolism capacity and gut microbiota diversity decline during the aged laying period, these declines affect production performance and cause substantial economic losses. Therefore, the regulation of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) levels is particularly important for laying hens entering the aged stages. However, whether dietary ME levels affect liver lipid metabolism ability and gut microbiota of laying hens in the aged laying period remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the effects of dietary ME on the glycolipid metabolic capacity and gut microbiota in aged laying hens, to provide a theoretical basis for healthy rearing of laying hens at the aged stage of egg production and for the rational use of feed resources.
Seismic Analysis and Design of Offshore Wind Turbines
Creators: name: Amani, Sadra
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Offshore Wind Power will be part of net zero solution and they are currently being installed/commissioned and planned in seismic areas. Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) infrastructures (turbines, sub-stations, and sub-sea cables) in seismic countries are exposed to earthquake-related effects (such as strong shaking, ground slope movement, soil liquefaction, tsunamis) apart from the usual extreme offshore weather (such as hurricanes, typhoons, extreme waves etc.). Design and analysis procedures of offshore wind turbines were initially based on offshore Oil and Gas Industry (i.e., American Petroleum Institute standards) and the inadequacies were realised which led to research and development and standards/guidelines such as DNV (Det Norske Veritas) and Bureau Veritas. This research initially identifies the research gaps in these codes of practices with a focus on the performance criteria for offshore wind turbines in seismic areas. To this effect, the main contribution of this research is to aid design of monopiles in seismic zones through modifications of the so called “10-step methodology”. This is carried out by adding 7 additional steps which includes Site Response Analysis (SRA), Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) modelling in seismic regions using physics-based p-y curves for liquefiable soils. State of the art open-source software OpenSees and DeepSoil are employed to obtain the seismic loads which provides appropriate outputs during SRA. Furthermore, SAP2000 is used to evaluate the strucutral performance of OWTs during seismic events. The proposed 17 step method is validated using the only available field case record (referred to as nearshore Kamisu Wind Farm) of OWT performance during Earthquake and Tsunami during the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake. The results showed a good overall performance prediction of the offshore turbines. Extensive parametric studies were carried out based on the proposed methodology such as dimension variation of the pile, consideration of different sizes of turbines, damping ratio variations, different types of soil profiles and liquefiable zone. In this thesis the study is expanded on the other sites such as the Chang-Bin wind farm in Taiwan with respect to Chi-Chi 1999 earthquake. It is envisaged that the proposed method is helpful towards the design of bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines in seismic regions. The use of other energy sources in a conceptual level is studied, a scoring matrix is proposed to assist the consideration of other energy sources in addition to offshore wind turbines. These systems include, deep geothermal systems (in seismic regions), hydrogen energy, ocean thermal energy, ocean current energy, tidal current energy, and wave energy. By addressing the challenges specific to such regions, the research contributes to the safe and efficient expansion of the offshore wind industry, fostering sustainable energy production on a global scale.

description: Objectives: To examine the relationship between non-fatal overdose and risk of subsequent fatal overdose. Methods: We assessed risk factors for overdose death among two prospective cohorts of persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Vancouver, Canada. Extended Cox regression was used to examine if reports of non-fatal overdose were associated with the time to fatal overdose while adjusting for other behavioral, social and structural confounders. Results: Between May, 1996 and December, 2011, 2317 individuals were followed for a median of 60.8 months. In total, 134 fatal overdose deaths were identified for an incidence density of 8.94 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.55–10.59) deaths per 1000 person-years. During the study period there were 1795 reports of non-fatal overdose. In a multivariate model, recent non-fatal overdose was independently associated with the time to overdose mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] = 1.95; 95% CI: 1.17–3.27). As well, there was a dose response effect of increasing cumulative reports of non-fatal overdose on subsequent fatal overdose. Conclusion: Reports of recent non-fatal overdose were independently associated with subsequent overdose mortality in a dose-response relationship. These findings suggest that individuals reporting recent non-fatal overdose should be engaged with intensive overdose prevention interventions.
Evaluating the vendor client relationship in information system outsourcing

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Outsourcing of information technology services has seen a steady growth in recent years. IT Outsourcing agreements are fraught with dangers as various case studies in the IT literature have illustrated. A number of factors have been identified that influence and shape the relationship between the organisation and a third party. The success of the adoption of information technology by organisations is characterized by various social interactions – management buy-in, technology championing, communication, training, multidisciplinary teams/user involvement and most notably for this paper, the interactions with consultants and suppliers. Given the importance of the interaction with IT suppliers/vendors particularly for Small to Medium Enterprises IS research has placed little emphasis on exploring this relationship. This paper describes a study which explores the client-vendor relationship in one exploratory case study as well as a further five case studies found in the literature on outsourcing. A subset of MacNeil’s intermediate contractual norms was used as the exploratory framework of this relationship: flexibility, information exchange and solidarity, all of which are needed for sound relationship development between organisations. A continuum of client-vendor relationships is developed through the evaluation of the case studies.
Dynamic coupling between fluid motion and rectilinear vessel motion in a system of connected vessels
Creators: name: Huang, Ying H.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis we investigate the dynamics of coupled liquid sloshing systems, which consist of a one-dimensional array of vessels, partially filled with fluid, being connected together by nonlinear springs. The fluid motion induces a hydrodynamic force on the side walls of the vessel, which induces the vessel to move. The vessel movement is also controlled via a restoring force of the attached springs, which in turn causes the fluid to alter its motion. The simplest coupled liquid sloshing system consists of one vessel connected to a side wall via a spring. We review this example and investigate the techniques documented in the literature to study the linear problem of such a system. Then we extend this linear theory to multivessel systems, in particular focussing on the 2-vessel system which introduces the notion of modes being in-phase or out-of-phase with each other. In the general N-vessel system we also identify the existence in parameter space of internal resonances, where different modes oscillates at the same frequency. Such a resonance provides a mechanism for energy exchange between modes in the nonlinear system. The nonlinear dynamics of the coupled liquid sloshing system are studied by employing a symplectic integration scheme based on a variational principle, to the shallow-water form of the governing equations. We present results for the shallow-water scheme in the linear, weakly nonlinear and fully nonlinear regimes. The shallow-water numerical scheme has trouble dealing with breaking waves, so we perform a feasibility study where we attempt to use a similar approach for a non-shallow fluid system. The governing equations are derived and results presented in the linear amplitude regime for the 1-vessel system. Finally, we develop variational principles for the coupled liquid sloshing system in the Eulerian framework based on the principle of constrained variations to derive the governing fluid equations and free-surface boundary conditions, from a natural Lagrangian functional. We use this constrained variational approach to derive the fully rotational 2D Euler equations and its stream function formulation.
Healthcare professionals' identity conflict in ethically-charged situations: an investigation of individual and socio-ethical dynamics
Creators: name: Carminati, Lara
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: In ethically-charged situations, such as End-of-Life circumstances, healthcare professionals may face identity conflict of moral nature due to incongruent values belonging to their multiple identities, e.g. professional and religious identities. Such conflict can significantly influence healthcare professionals' psychological outcomes, their practice and the overall quality of the healthcare service. However, despite these critical consequences, how identity conflict emerges, unfolds and affects doctors and nurses remains mostly unexplored. The overarching aim of this thesis is to advance the understanding of individual and socio-ethical dynamics of identity conflict. This aim is addressed through a mixed-method approach developed in three papers: a propositional paper, in which a narrative review is conducted; a qualitative paper, in which an inductive investigation based on semi-structured interviews is carried out; a quantitative paper, in which a mediated-moderation, multilevel analysis is run, implementing a two-time-lagged, questionnaire-based, design. This thesis extends the literature on identity conflict in four ways: (1) by conceptually integrating and explaining multiple individual and socio-ethical dynamics associated with identity conflict in a comprehensive and theoretically-justified model; (2) by providing an in-depth understanding of individual-level identity conflict dynamics, through the incorporation of novel ethical virtue-based decision-making approaches able to account for professional and religious values, emotions and interpersonal processes; (3) by exploring healthcare professionals' psychological and behavioural responses to identity conflict; (4) by sheding light on the extent to which individual and socio-ethical forces can affect identity conflict dynamics, thus filling a methodological gap in the identity literature regarding the implementation of multilevel approaches in identity research.

description: This thesis investigates the thiocarbonyl addition–ring opening (TARO) polymerization of dibenzo[c,e]oxepin-5(7H)-thione (DOT) to synthesise degradable polymers. Initial attempts involved free radical and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization for the synthesis of DOT–homopolymers. Unfortunately, this did not produce the desired results of high conversion and good yields. Subsequently, DOT–homopolymers were synthesised successfully through cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP), resulting in a fully degradable polymer that yielded a thioester isomer of DOT upon degradation under mild conditions. Optimized polymerization conditions were achieved using the anhydrous non-polar solvent toluene and BF3.Et2O as an initiator.The study then explored the optimization of DOT copolymerization using atom transfer polymerization (ATRP) with a selection of acrylic comonomers, with a focus on producing water-soluble degradable bottle brush copolymers. While copolymers with selectively degradable backbone thioesters were successfully synthesised, the polymerization also led to the Cu(I)-catalysed dethionation of DOT to its (oxo)lactone analogue, limiting the thioester content in the polymer. However, under anhydrous conditions, the side reaction was minimized and provided degradable copolymers with higher thioester content. Additionally, PEG acrylate and di(ethylene glycol) acrylamide-based copolymers/diblock containing backbone thioesters were synthesised through RAFT radical ring-opening copolymerization for the formation of degradable micelles for potential drug delivery applications.

DESCRIPTION
Phaceloid colony with cylindrical corallites multiplying by extracalicular budding. Radial elements are wavy, compact costosepta apparently free and organized in two distinct size-orders. External lateral faces of the corallites are ornamented with vertical striation made by the naked costae. Styliform columella according to Beauvais (1986) but that does not appear clearly in the sample. Endotheca made of rare dissepiments and tabulae that periodically divide the lumen vertically. Wall present, probably septothecal. No synapticulae observed.
Calicular diameter: 1.5 to 2.5 mm – Number of septa: 32 to 36 – Septal density: 3 to 4 for 0.5 mm.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
Differs from the other taxa of the genus Stylosmilia Milne Edwards, 1848 by the lack of auriculae. With the doubt concerning the presence of a styliform columella we choose to maintain the species under the genus Stylosmilia (with quotation marks) even if the genus Proaplophyllia Roniewicz, 1976 would be more appropriate in case of lack of columella.

Disclosure in therapy for eating difficulties : a Q-Sort study.
Creators: name: Murphy, Karen
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Background: Eating difficulties manifest at differing levels of severity. As such, they may be considered dimensional rather than categorical. Research into eating difficulties is therefore legitimately undertaken in both diagnosed and undiagnosed individuals experiencing these difficulties. The topic of disclosure by such individuals has been of importance for clinicians and researchers. The aim of the present study was to explore factors considered likely to influence the decision to disclose during psychological therapy by people who experience eating difficulties. Method: Participants were recruited through the eating disorder charity Beat. Thirty-seven participants took part in the study and completed a Q-sort which required them to place 47 statements onto a grid reflecting what would make them more or less likely to disclose in therapy. PQ method was utilised to analyse the data. Findings: Three factors were extracted from the data, with thirty- four Q sorts loading onto one of the factors significantly. One of the factors deemed elements connected to the eating disorder as the most influential in their decision of whether to disclose. Another considered factors connected to the therapeutic relationship as the most influential and the last one considered readiness and sense of security with the therapist as the most influential. Conclusions: The findings of the study suggest that there are different factors that influence the decision for an individual experiencing eating difficulties to disclose in therapy. Future research could investigate developing a measure to assess this with individuals for it then to be implemented into clinical practice.

REMARK
Although the genus is very close to Stylophyllopsis Frech, 1890, it seems to differ by a well-defined bilateral symmetry marked by the elongated fossa and the curvature of lateral septa, and by a less apparent stylophyllid microstructure (detached septal spines are sometimes absent) giving sometimes an appearance close to Coryphyllia Cuif, 1975 to some species of the genus (the microstructure allows the differentiation of the two groups).

Exploring clothing store preferences and intentions of Generation Y
Creators: name: Johnson, Thomas Mainwaring
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This exploratory study aimed to investigate the relationship between demographics, shopping involvement, experiential value preferences and patronage intention in the Australian Generation Y apparel shopping context. These constructs have not been explored in the Australian setting. A study by Sullivan and Heitmeyer (2008) in the United States was used as a model for replication to determine if differences exist within the Australian context. A student convenience sample was collected for analysis (n=248). Relationships were theorised on a prior conceptual framework developed from the literature, and analysed with univariate correlation and multivariate regression techniques. Findings indicate that the relationships between the constructs can be used to explain unique variation in apparel shopping involvement, experiential value preferences and patronage intention. Demographics explained unique variation in apparel shopping involvement. Apparel shopping involvement explained unique variation in four experiential value preferences. Ultimately, two experiential value dimensions, entertainment and economic value, were significant in predicting patronage intention. This dissertation draws together the literature and links these constructs. Findings lead to several areas for future research stemming from this framework in wider contexts and in best practices. Additionally, these findings provide guidance for apparel retailing managers in designing effective experiential marketing strategies to suit their customers.

description: Although unlike melanoma, breast cancer is not generally viewed as a highly immunogenic cancer, recent studies have described a rich tumor immune microenvironment in a subset of breast cancers. These immune infiltrates, comprised cells from the innate and adaptive immune response, can be detected and characterized in biopsy specimens and have prognostic value. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) represent the majority of mononuclear immune infiltrates in the breast tumor microenvironment and can be easily identified in formalin-fixed paraffinembedded tissues after standard hematoxylin & eosin staining. High levels of TILs are most common in HER2+ and basal-like subtypes where they are associated with good prognosis and with response to certain therapies such as the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab. International collaborative efforts are underway to standardize the assessment of TILs so as to facilitate their implementation as a breast cancer biomarker. Using immunohistochemistry to further characterize TILs, recent reports describe the presence of important lymphocyte populations including CD8+ cytotoxic, FOXP3+ regulatory, and CD4+ helper and follicular T cells which have overlapping associations with prognosis and response to therapies. Moreover, recently identified immune checkpoint markers (PD-1, PD-L1) are present in some breast cancers, implying some cases might be especially amenable to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment strategies which are being evaluated in a number of active clinical trials.

description: β-2-himachalen-6-ol (HC) is a major sesquiterpene that was isolated from the Lebanese Daucus carota ssp. carota and was shown to possess potent anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. The aim of the present study was to explore the in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities of HC and to investigate the possible mechanisms of action involved. Lebanese Daucus carota spp. carota plant oil was extracted from dried mature umbels with methanol/acetone (1/1) and HC was purified using silica gel column chromatography to 92% purity as confirmed by GC-MS and NMR. The in vitro effect of HC on cell viability was tested against a panel of colon cancer cell lines (Caco-2, HT-29, SK-Co, LoVo, SW-1116 and T-84), a normal colon cell line CCD-33Co, the HaCaT-ras II-4 epidermal squamous carcinoma and the 4T1 breast cancer cell lines. HC displayed potent cytotoxic activity as measured by the WST-1 cell proliferation assay against all cancer cell lines with an IC50 ranging between 8-14.5μg/ml and an IC90 between 19-36μg/ml. No significant cytotoxic effect was observed on the normal colon cell line at the concentrations used. Upon treatment with HC, flow cytometry and western blot analyses showed similar results for both the SW1116 and HaCaT-ras II-4 cell lines, with an observed accumulation of cells in the sub-G1 apoptotic phase and decreased cell population in S and G2/M phases indicating cell cycle arrest at sub-G1phase. A decrease in the p-Erk, p- Akt, anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) and an increase in pro-apoptotic proteins (p53, Bax, p21, cleaved Caspase-3 and PARP) was also observed. The in vivo anticancer effect of HC was investigated using DMH-induced colon, DMBA/TPA-induced skin carcinogenesis and 4T1 breast metastatic murine models of cancer. HC proved to be effective in reducing cancer incidence and size in all the experiments with a relatively low hepato-toxicity. The present study established that HC is a potent and relatively safe anticancer compound that induces apoptosis through the inhibition of the MAPK/Erk and PI3K/ Akt pathways.

description: Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is frequently overexpressed and upregulated in prostate cancer. To date, various 18F- and 68Ga-labeled urea-based radiotracers for PET imaging of PSMA have been developed and entered clinical trials. Here, we describe an automated synthesis of [18F]DCFPyL via direct radiofluorination and validation in preclinical models of prostate cancer. Methods: [18F]DCFPyL was synthesized via direct nucleophilic heteroaromatic substitution reaction in a single reactor TRACERlab FXFN automated synthesis unit. Radiopharmacological evaluation of [18F]DCFPyL involved internalization experiments, dynamic PET imaging in LNCaP (PSMA+) and PC3 (PSMA−) tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice, biodistribution studies, and metabolic profiling. In addition, reversible two-tissue compartmental model analysis was used to quantify pharmacokinetics of [18F]DCFPyL in LNCaP and PC3 tumor models. Results: Automated radiosynthesis afforded radiotracer [18F]DCFPyL in decay-corrected radiochemical yields of 23 ± 5 % (n = 10) within 55 min, including HPLC purification. Dynamic PET analysis revealed rapid and high uptake of radioactivity (SUV5min 0.95) in LNCaP tumors which increased over time (SUV60min 1.1). Radioactivity uptake in LNCaP tumors was blocked in the presence of nonradioactive DCFPyL (SUV60min 0.22). The muscle as reference tissue showed rapid and continuous clearance over time (SUV60min 0.06). Fast blood clearance of radioactivity resulted in tumor-blood ratios of 1.0 after 10 min and 8.3 after 60 min. PC3 tumors also showed continuous clearance of radioactivity over time (SUV60min 0.11). Kinetic analysis of PET data revealed the two-tissue compartmental model as best fit with K 1 = 0.12, k 2 = 0.18, k 3 = 0.08, and k 4 = 0.004 min−1, confirming molecular trapping of [18F]DCFPyL in PSMA+ LNCaP cells. Conclusions: [18F]DCFPyL can be prepared for clinical applications simply and in good radiochemical yields via a direct radiofluorination synthesis route in a single reactor automated synthesis unit. Radiopharmacological evaluation of [18F]DCFPyL confirmed high PSMA-mediated tumor uptake combined with superior clearance parameters. Compartmental model analysis points to a two-step molecular trapping mechanism based on PSMA binding and subsequent internalization leading to retention of radioactivity in PSMA+ LNCaP tumors.

Development of a Focused Ion Beam Tool for Single Ion Implantation
Creators: name: CASSIDY, NATHAN
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: Deterministic implantation of single bismuth ions in silicon is demonstrated using a focused ion beam (FIB) tool named the Single Ion Multi-species Positioning at Low Energy (SIMPLE) tool, manufactured by Ionoptika Ltd. Atomic scale fabrication is required if we are to realise the existing designs of many semiconductor quantum technologies and single ion implantation is a versatile and capable method of manufacture for such technologies.
description: The difficulty of single ion implantation is knowing that a single ion has been implanted in the target substrate. This has been achieved through the detection of secondary electrons generated upon ion impact. The measure of how likely it is that a single ion implant is detected is the detection efficiency, and the majority of the work in this project was devoted to determining and improving this.
description: The work covers the build and test of a focused ion beam instrument designed to implant single ions, to enable the fabrication of quantum technologies and other single atom device. Throughout, the path to achieving single ion implantation is recorded, covering investigations into the pulse length calibration, metrological investigations into measuring femto-amp currents, and the development of the secondary electron detection system.
description: The results section presents data from implantation of single bismuth and gold ions with different charge states into different material substrates, to determine the detection efficiency for single ion implants and the factors which affect such detection efficiencies.
description: It has been found that for 50 keV implants of Bi++ into silicon we can achieve an 89% detection efficiency, the highest reported detection efficiency for single ion implants into silicon without implanting through a SiO2 film. Detection efficiency values of 100% are reported for Bi++ implants into thick SiO2 layers.
description: This level of precision enables the doping of single impurity ions with a success rate far exceeding that achievable by random (Poissonian) implantation. Targeted implantation of low numbers of ions into a 1 μm width channel of a field effect transistor is experimentally proven. Demonstrating high precision in the positioning of ions, as well as the number of ions implanted.

description: The main contention of the thesis is that there are consequences within academia and the art field when intersectional methodologies are not taken seriously enough. The fear journey into art is defined as a working definition of an intersectional methodological approach to practice that situates multiple divisions of difference as a creative practice. The thesis is in two parts: a dissertation and a practice. The dissertation defines what a fear journey looks like as both academic and creative tool to answer the thesis problem through an exploration of the lived experiences of my collaborators and my own journey. I propose the thesis itself as a performative model of an intersectional methodology by evaluating what contribution it makes as a whole and what methods are deployed in order to answer the main argument in the dissertation and in practice.
