Abstract:
The goal of this study was to describe the ultrasonographic and computed tomographic appearance of a penile foreign body in a dog for the first time. We describe an unusual penile localisation of a grass seed awn in an 11-year-old mixed-breed dog referred for a computed tomography study after a severe haemorrhage from the penis. A fistulous tract was observed after plain and post-contrast whole-body computed tomography acquisition; the foreign body was localised with ultrasound and removed under ultrasonographic guidance, with the complete healing of the penile lesion. Grass awns are common foreign bodies in dogs and cats and are commonly localised in the ear canal, subcutaneous tissue, interdigital space, eyelid, conjunctiva and nasal or oral cavity. These foreign bodies pose a threat due to their peculiar structure, which facilitates their easy access to the affected area and their transit through the body. Clinical signs are often non-specific, and imaging modalities such as ultrasonography and computed tomography are useful techniques for localisation. Our report demonstrates that the combination of computed tomography and ultrasound techniques was crucial for the exact localisation and mini-invasive retrieval of the grass seed.

Abstract:
A six-year-old intact female Lagotto Romagnolo was referred with a two-day history of purulent vulvar discharge associated with fever, lethargy, polyuria, polydipsia and signs of abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a grass awn foreign body in the vaginal fornix. Culture swabs obtained from the vagina revealed the presence of Staphylococcus epidermidis as the preponderant organism. Ovariohysterectomy was performed, and the presence of the grass awn was confirmed. A chronic-active vaginitis was found at histological examination. The dog recovered with resolution of all clinical signs.  Differential diagnoses for acute vulvar discharge in bitches should include retention of vaginal foreign bodies. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported case of a grass awn foreign body in the vaginal fornix of a dog.

Abstract:
In this paper, I interrogate dominant media paradigms that discuss non-human animals, such as photography and documentary, and provide alternative modes of creating this work. Focusing on my relationship with my dog, Bear, I collaborated with him referencing the alternative methods to representation to create a series our thesis show, “A Dog and His Boy.” By opening up our relationship, I hope to inspire people to think about non-human animals, specifically dogs, more critically, and what their relationships with them are. The process of collaborating with Bear, someone of another species, only strengthened our bond, but also taught me much about how a dog senses their world, and how they think.

Scantlebury, David Michael. "Energetics of lactation in the domestic dog Canis familiaris." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 1998. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.245974.

Full text
Abstract:
The energetics of lactation in domestic dogs was investigated. Two breeds were chosen of different masses, Labrador Retrievers (30kg) and Miniature Schnauzers (6kg). Labradors had larger litter sizes and invested more energy relative to adult weight during lactation. This was shown in a number of ways. During peak lactation they had relatively higher metabolised energy intakes, higher energy expenditures, higher ratios of litter metabolic mass to maternal metabolic mass and produced relatively more milk. In addition Labradors utilised body reserves, an investment the Schnauzers didn't make. Schnauzers, however, invested relatively more energy per pup, which was reflected by their relatively larger offspring energy expenditures. Offspring of both breeds increased significantly in mass over the experimental period of peak lactation, although the Labrador pups were significantly leaner and contained less fat in proportion to body mass than the Schnauzer pups. The gradient of the scaling relationship between litter size and body mass across different breeds of dog was significantly steeper and tighter than the interspecific scaling relationship calculated between different species of Canid of similar mass range. This is consistent with the more recent theories on the evolution of life histories, that interspecific allometric variation is an epiphenomenon of intraspecific variation. This suggests that physical constraints associated with size in dogs may limit offspring investment and milk production. The differences in energy investment during lactation between the two breeds might be explained by variations in their ability to sustain high energy expenditures. Central limitations to maximum metabolisable energy intake and energy expenditure might be important in determining reproductive output in the Labradors. Hence milk energy output might be limited by the ability of the alimentary system to acquire nutrients. In contrast, peripheral limitations might limit Schnauzers' ability to allocate energy to offspring. Hence milk production might be limited by mammary output capacity. A three dimensional model relating energy expenditure and fitness to body mass was produced. This advanced a number of predictions. For instance, it is predicted that the observed FMR/RMR ratio would be greater in larger animals. Second, that maximal sustained metabolic rate would be more likely to be limited peripherally in small mammals. Thus maximum energy intake required for single activities, such as lactation or thermoregulation, could represent peripheral limitations in small mammals but central limitations in large mammals.

Abstract:
Many individuals across the world own dogs for a variety of reasons. For some individuals, dogs can be viewed as providing the most important relationship in their lives. Others may own dogs for protection, companionship, and even health benefits. Some families across the world view their dogs as family members and a vital aspect of the family unit. This study explored the perceived bond between a human and a dog and how this bond influenced the human‟s psychological well-being. Although studies have been conducted on the human-companionate dog bond, empirical research on the perceptions of the bond between a dog and a human and the influence it has on an individual‟s psychological well-being, falls short. Studies on the human-companionate bond have been on the rise internationally, yet studies in this field in the South African context are scarce. This study contributes to psychology‟s broad body of knowledge regarding the human-companionate dog bond and identifies the important influences the bond has on human psychological well-being. The researcher utilized a qualitative research approach. A non-probability purposive sample was employed and semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven participants. Two participants were male and five were female. All participants had developed a bond with their dog and were able to speak English fluently. Interviews were conducted until data saturation was reached. Results demonstrate that having a human-companionate dog bond can enhance an individual's psychological well-being. Themes identified demonstrate that a human-companionate dog bond can enhance physical health, relational well-being, and mental health. This bond also fulfils specific individual needs which enhance psychological well-being. Limitations of the study and recommendations for further research are identified.

Full text
Abstract:
Dogs have lived with us for thousands of years, so we have learned to understand one another. Dogs have been shown to synchronize their behavior with humans. Behavioral synchronization is characterizes by doing the same thing at the same time and in the same place as someone else. This synchronization is often dependent on the relationship and the emotional state of the individuals. The main aim in this study was to develop a method to test behavioral synchronization and also to investigate how this, but also other behaviors, are effect by preceding human-dog interactions. Privately owned dogs (N=21) were tested with three different treatments (play, pet or ignore). The test procedure consisted of the owner walking or standing still in a predefined pattern, while their dog was freely roaming. This study showed that dogs adapted their movement pattern to their owners. This was similar to previous studies showing that the method developed can be used to test behavioral synchronization between owner and dog. Dogs explored the test arena less after play interaction and they also tended to seek more eye contact with their owners, but the interactions did not affect how much time spent in human proximity, how much they followed them or on dogs movement pattern.

Mace, Jennifer. "Are CDS Auctions the Tail Wagging the Dog? An Empirical Study of Corporate Bond Return Volatility at the Time of Default." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2019. https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/2212.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the past decade, numerous engineered credit events and cases of market participants manipulating bond prices to influence Credit Default Swap (CDS) auction payouts have occurred. These cases have become increasingly common, and the CFTC has stated they may constitute market manipulation and undermine not only the CDS market but also the credit derivative and default markets. Although there is a plethora of news and media coverage on publicized cases, there is no previous empirical research on evidence of these practices. This paper is motivated by the desire to determine if there is indirect evidence of bond price manipulation around default and of market participants’ attempts to favorably move CDS’s underlying bond prices to achieve more profitable positions around default and emerging from CDS auctions. The analysis is performed by analyzing the effect of a bonds’ inclusion in CDS auctions on bond return volatility around the time of default while controlling for credit risk, illiquidity, firm fundamentals, and other bond-level controls. I find that bond return volatility around default is much higher as a result of a bond’s inclusion in a CDS auction, which serves as indirect evidence of bond price manipulation around default as market participants strive for more profitable CDS auction outcomes and possibly of manufactured credit events. Consistent with previous literature, I also find that bond illiquidity significantly impacts bond return volatility. My results are robust to propensity score matching, implementing double-robust estimators, and controlling for any time-varying cross-sectionally-invariant fluctuations in bond return volatility.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate if the dog’s behaviour and the interactions between the dog and the owner   differ depending on lifestyle, breed or sex of the dog. For this we employed the Strange Situation Procedure, a test inspired from Mary Ainsworth´s study,   which investigated the attachment of human infants to their mothers. There were two breeds, Border collie and Shetland sheepdog and a total of 58 dogs that participated in this study. The two breeds were divided into two lifestyles, competition dogs and pet dogs. A PCA was used to find correlations between the behavioural variables and the factors were then analysed in a Mann Whitney U test to test the differences between breed, sex and lifestyle. In this study no differences in behaviour between the two lifestyles were shown. However, the results showed that there were some differences between the two breeds and between the two sexes in behavioural expressions. The differences between the breeds were quite expected because there are many different breeds today which are selected for various morphology and behavioural traits which could influence their behaviour. The difference in behaviour between the two sexes can be because of evolutionary heredity. Further studies on this subject should have bigger and more even sample size, longer separation time, a more balanced gender distribution of the owners and to also analyze the cortisol levels.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
Na prática de clínica veterinária é comum encontrar casos de ingestão de corpos estranhos, assumindo-se na maioria das vezes como um desafio no diagnóstico e tratamento, na medida em que os pacientes podem apresentar uma grande variedade de sinais clínicos inespecíficos, dependendo do tipo e localização do material ingerido, assim como o grau e a duração da obstrução no trato gastrointestinal. O cão assume-se como o animal de companhia mais propenso à ingestão de corpos estranhos, devido à indiscrição alimentar, forma de ingestão de alimentos e o fácil acesso a brinquedos e objetos. Na presença de um histórico e sinais compatíveis, esta afeção deve ser considerada em qualquer raça e idade. A abordagem clínica requer uma monitorização vigilante do paciente e a sua estabilização ao nível de possíveis desequilíbrios ácido-base e eletrolíticos, enquanto é realizado o diagnóstico através de exames laboratoriais e de imagiologia, com a finalidade de elaborar um plano terapêutico de remoção cirúrgica ou endoscópica do corpo estranho. A endoscopia como método menos invasivo, pode ser bem-sucedido na remoção de corpos estranhos localizados no esófago, estômago e porção superior do duodeno, no entanto, a cirurgia oferece resultados mais abrangentes. No pós-cirúrgico podem surgir algumas complicações associadas às características do corpo estranho ou à técnica de remoção utilizada. Geralmente o prognóstico é bom e as taxas de mortalidade são baixas. Este trabalho baseia-se numa revisão bibliográfica sobre as particularidades da abordagem clínica em corpos estranhos gastrointestinais e um estudo retrospetivo de três casos clínicos com características diferentes, que demonstram a importância de conduzir uma história completa com avaliação diagnóstica apropriada para chegar a um diagnóstico definitivo com um tratamento de remoção eficaz.
ABSTRACT- CLINICAL APPROACH TO GASTROINTESTINAL FOREIGN BODIES IN DOGS - In clinical practice it is usual to find cases of foreign body ingestion, it being assumed most times as a challenge in terms of diagnosis and treatment, insofar as patients may present a great variety of non-specific clinical signs, depending on the type and location of the ingested material, as well as the extent and duration of the obstruction. The dog is recognized as the companion animal most prone to ingest foreign bodies, due to non-discretionary eating habits, the manner in which food is ingested and the easy access to toys and other objects. When presented with a compatible history and clinical signs, this disorder should be considered in all breeds and ages. The clinical approach requires careful monitoring of the patient and prompt correction of possible electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, while diagnosis is carried out through laboratory testing and imaging, towards the development of a therapeutic plan to surgically or endoscopically remove the foreign body. Endoscopy, as the least invasive method, may be successful in the removal of foreign bodies located in the esophagus, stomach, and upper portion of the duodenum, however, surgical removal has the most comprehensive results. Post-surgical complications associated with the characteristics of the foreign body or the removal technique may arise. Generally, prognosis is good and mortality rates are low. This work presents a bibliographical review of the particulars of the clinical approach to gastrointestinal foreign bodies and a retrospective study of three clinical cases with distinct characteristics, demonstrating the importance of taking a complete history and appropriate diagnostic evaluation towards obtaining a correct diagnosis and an effective removal treatment plan.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka hur glanceable feedback kan implementeras i aktivitetsenheter för hundar för att skapa en bättre användarupplevelse och minska den teknologiska störningen i kommunikationen mellan människa och hund. Tidigare studier visar att utvecklingen hos aktivitetsenheter för hundar är långt ifrån lika framgångsrik jämfört med den för aktivitetsenheter för människor (Ramokapane, van der Linden & Zamansky, 2019; Väätäjä et al. 2018; Zamansky; et al. 2019). Väätäjä, et al. (2018) har påpekat vikten av att teknologin bakom aktivitetsenheten, så som mobiltelefoner, inte ska komma mellan hundägaren och hunden. Den får inte agera som ett störningsmoment som distanserar kommunikation eller interaktion mellan hund och människa (Väätäjä et al. 2018). Detta är idag oundvikligt i dagens aktivitetsenheter för hundar då användaren är helt beroende av mobiltelefonens tillhörande applikation (Väätäjä et al. 2018). Genom frågeställningen (Hur kan glanceable feedback appliceras i aktivitetsenhet för hundar för att ge hundägaren direkt information om hundens aktivitet?) undersöks hur glanceable feedback kan appliceras i aktivitetsenheter för hundar och undvika att kommunikation mellan hund och ägare störs med tekniken. Resultatet är aktivitetsenheten Good Boy. Enheten är försedd med en display och ett mekaniskt hjul som byter mellan de olika kategorierna distans/steg, puls/kroppstemperatur, info/kontaktuppgifter och led/lampa.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how glanceable feedback can be implemented in activity units for dogs to create a better user experience and reduce the technological disruption in human-dog communication. Previous studies show that the development of activity units for dogs is far from as successful as activity units for humans (Ramokapane, van der Linden & Zamansky, 2019; Väätäjä et al. 2018; Zamansky et al. 2019). Väätäjä, et al. (2018) have pointed out the importance of the technology behind the activity, such as the mobile phone, unit not coming between the dog owner and the dog. It must not act as a disturbance that distances communication or interaction between dog and human (Väätäjä et al. 2018). This is inevitable in today's activity units for dogs as the user is completely dependent on the mobile phone's associated application (Väätäjä et al. 2018).  The question (How can glanceable feedback be applied in an activity unit for dogs to give the dog owner direct information on the dog's activity?) Investigates how glanceable feedback can be applied in activity units for dogs and avoid that communication between dog and owner is disturbed by technology. The result is the Good Boy activity unit. The unit is equipped with a display and a mechanical wheel that switches between the different categories distance / step, pulse / body temperature, info /contact information and LED/lamp.

Abstract:
Lorsqu’ils s’adressent à leur chien beaucoup de propriétaires ont une modalité vocale particulière : le discours adressé à l’animal de compagnie. Ce registre de communication ressemble beaucoup à celui utilisé par les parents lorsqu’ils s’adressent à leurs nourrissons. Ce qui suggère des soubassements communs. Ces deux registres partagent des caractéristiques qui les distinguent du discours adressé à l’adulte, comme une fréquence fondamentale plus élevée et une modulation plus importante. Une série d’expériences réalisées à l’Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire d’Alfort, nous a permis d’étudier comment le discours adressé à l’animal de compagnie intervient dans l’interaction homme-chien. Le premier chapitre montre que les caractéristiques acoustiques et verbales du discours adressé à l’animal de compagnie varient en fonction du contexte de l’interaction. Le deuxième chapitre s’intéresse à la manière dont le chien traite l’information vocale humaine, nos résultats suggèrent de manière générale un biais en faveur de l’hémisphère droit. Le troisième chapitre indique que le discours adressé à l’animal de compagnie augmente significativement l’attention du chien. Ce phénomène n’est pas perçu par les observateurs humains comme le montre le quatrième chapitre. A travers l’ensemble de ces études, essentiellement centrées sur le discours adressé à l’animal de compagnie, nous mettons en lumière la complexité de la communication homme-chien
When addressing their dogs, owners often use a special speech register called pet-directed-speech. This communication modality is very similar to infant-directed-speech used by parents when speaking to young children, which suggests common bases. These two types of speech share characteristics that differ from those of adult-directed-speech, such as a higher fundamental frequency and greater modulations. A series of experiments carried out at the National Veterinary School of Alfort allowed us to explore how pet-directed-speech occurs in the human-dog interaction. The first chapter shows that acoustic and verbal features of pet-directed-speech vary according to the interaction context. The second chapter aims to highlight how dogs process human vocal information; overall, our results reveal a right hemispheric advantage. The third chapter indicates that pet-directed-speech increases significantly dogs’ attentional state. This phenomenon is not perceived by human observers, as it is shown in chapter four. Together, these studies which mainly focused on pet-directed-speech bring to light the complexity of the human-dog communication

Abstract:
Acrylic bone cement is a porous biomaterial with many applications across both the medical and dental fields. In orthopaedics, it is used in the fixation of artificial implants where it forms a mechanical bond between the implant and the surrounding tissue. Bone cement is prepared during surgery by mixing a polymer powder and a liquid monomer. The mixture is then inserted into the body in a dough-like state, setting around the implant. Due to the manner in which the cement is prepared and inserted, the material tends to contain defects. Porosity arises in the cement due to trapped air and evaporation of the monomer during the mixing process. Larger defects of various shapes occur as a result of trapped debris, incomplete filling of the space, premature solidification and shrinkage: these are all similar to causes of defects in castings and injection-mouldings [1]. Even without these defects, stress concentrations can arise due to protrusion of bone into the cement as well as the geometry of the hip implant. High stresses can occur in the cement close to the femoral stem, the magnitudes of which are dependant of the cross-section of the stem and other design features [2].

Abstract:
During body cooling, there is a progressive thrombocytopenia, which is reversible after rewarming and is not prevented by previous treatement with aspirin, ticlopidine or prostacyclin.In this work, in order to evaluate if hypothermia induces alterations of platelet function we studied, in the dog, the platelet aggregation (PA) and the inhibitory action of PGE1 and of a stable prostacyclin analog, l loprost, before hypothermia(37°C.) and after rewarming(37°C.).Platelet half-life was also studied in another group of dogs before induction of hypothermia and after rewarming and recuperation of the animals. PA has been evaluated by platelet counting in whole blood.P1atelet half-life was estimated by serial determinations of MDA following administration of aspirin.PA induced by ADP (30μM) decreased 40% after rewarming(n=8). Platelet sensitivity to PGE1 (35 nM -1.4 μM f.c.) and Iloprost (7nM-172nM f.c.) was also decreased after rewarming: inhibition index 2.08±1.082 versus 1.19±0.362 (n=8; p<0.01) and 2.48<1.250 versus 1.10±0.227 (n=8; p<0.005) respectively.Platelet half-life increased after hypothermia from 3.99±0.730 days to 4.48±0.846 days(n=8 p<0.05).In the control group(n=6) platelet half-life determined twice with one week interval, did not change significantly.We conclude that body hypothermia decreases platelet reactivity to ADP; renders platelets less sensitive to the inibitory effect of prostanoids and increases platelet half-1 ife.These results are probably due to alterations in platelet membrane induced by cooling and rewarming the animals.

Abstract:
Abstract A major disadvantage regarding integrally bladed rotors (IBRs: also referred to as blisks) is the ability to repair damage. Since it is a single part, anything beyond a minor dent requires full removal and either an expensive replacement or a complicated repair. Repair approaches gaining attention include additive metal build-up techniques such as blown powder directed energy deposition (DED). As a start and to attain confidence in such repairs, the characterization of additively modified specimens is required. The work presented here involved the tensile and fatigue testing of stock, annealed Ti-6Al-4V and DED repaired specimens. Thin, dog-bone standard test coupons, consisting of half stock material and half additively manufactured (AM) material with a bond line in the center of the specimen gauge section, were mechanically characterized via tensile and fatigued tests. The behaviors of these “50/50 AM repaired” Ti-6A1-4V coupons were compared to 100% stock Ti-6A1-4V coupons. In addition, metallography and post-test fractography were performed to study the microscopic characteristics and failure initiation sites with special attention to the grain structures in the vicinity of the bond lines. The AM repaired coupons did show a slight degradation in mechanical properties compared to the stock material of this study (tensile strength and elongation as well as fatigue life), with the microstructural dissimilarities explaining the variances. Even so, the AM repaired specimen properties were acceptable and compared favorably to other published results for stock annealed Ti-6A1-4V.

Abstract:
Moderate and systematic physical activity during pregnancy is not only safe, but it also brings numerous health benefits, such as metabolic acceleration, lower risk of hypertension in preg-nancy, prevention of swelling due to water retention within the body, reduction of premature birth, it also shortens and facilitates the childbirth and lower the risk of postpartum compli-cations improves well-being and accelerates return to original physical condition after the child is born. Rather than regular exercises, however, it is a physical inactivity that brings risks. Some women are aware of this and they keep various physical activities during the pregnancy, on the other hand there exists a group of pregnant women who are afraid of doing exercises at all. This study attempts to define what are suitable activities during pregnancy, and find the reasons for pregnant women to perform and also not to perform physical activ-ities. Survey was carried out in a group of pregnant women, the information concerning their attitude towards physical activities have been obtained by a questionnaire method. Question-naires were anonymous and were submitted by 107 pregnant women. Results revealed that 63.6% of women spent their leisure time during pregnancy in an active way. Most of them reported that they are suficiently informed; they mainly used the Internet to seek information. Pregnant women typically perform their pastime physical activity at home, alone (usually with DVD) or outdoor – walking alone or with a dog, which is even more beneficial, since the dog gives a brisk pace of the walk. Concerning the frequency of physical activity, most women stated the frequency of 2 – 3 times a week. Women, who do not perform any physical activity at all, usually refer to lack of time and energy, frequent nausea, back aches and other health problems. Some women feel like doing an activity, but to perform it, they would need a stim-ulus and/or more information on suitable activities for pregnant women. Some women also pointed to lack of information concerning proper physical activities during pregnancy, hence they are afraid that choosing the wrong type or intensity of exercise they might injure either themselves or their unborn child.

Abstract:
The Tay people represent an ethnic minority in the mountainous north of Vietnam. As do Shaman rituals in all regions, the Shaman of the Tay people in Vietnam exhibit uniqueness in their languages and accommodation of their society’s world view through their ‘Then’ rituals. The Then rituals require an integration of many artistically positioned and framed elements, including language (poetry, vows, chanting, the dialogue in the ritual), music (singing, accompaniment), and dance. This paper investigates The Art of Speaking of the Tay Shaman, through their Then rituals, which include use of language to describe the imaginary journey of the Shaman into the three-tiered world (Muong fa - Heaven region (Thien phu); Muong Din - Mountain region (Nhac phu); Muong Nam - Water region (combination of Thuy phu and Dia phu) to describe dealings with deities and demons, and to describe the phenomenon of possession. The methodic framework of the paper thus includes discussions of in the comparison between the concept of the three-storey world in the Then ritual of the Tay people with the concept of Tam Tu phu in the Len dong ceremony of the Kinh in Vietnam. Thereby, it clearly shows the concept of Tay people of the universe, the world of gods, demons, the existence of the soul and the body, and the existence of human soul after death. The study contributes to Linguistics and Anthropology in that it observes and describes the world views of a Northern Vietnamese ethnicity, and their negotiation with spirituality, through languages of both a spiritualistic medium and society.

Abstract:
Abstract The DCTs have increased in prevalence for achieving power uninterrupted shifting and pre-shift process significantly influences the DCTs shift quality. Research on the multistage and nonlinear characteristics of the gear preselect process is not comprehensive so that there are shortcomings such as high impact, long synchronization time and poor economy. In view of above detrimental phenomenon, control parameters optimization is conducted in order to realize fast, smooth and economic pre-shifting on the basis of analyzing the sensitivity of the factors affecting pre-shift process. Considering the engagement of sleeve, synchro ring and dog gear, the multi-body dynamics theory is applied to establish an accurate synchronizer dynamics model. Based on the model, simulations are conducted to confirm factors like sleeve mass, cone angle fluctuating the pre-shift quickness and smoothness, sorting structure parameters according to factors sensitivity. Furthermore, the formula of energy loss characteristics relating to two control parameters which are pre-shift force and pre-shift trigger time is obtained, deriving from exploring the hydraulic loss caused by pre-shift force and the drag torque energy loss created by pre-shift trigger time. The optimal synchronizer structure parameters are obtained by adopting multi-objective optimization method. Simulation results indicate the optimal control parameters improve pre-shift comprehensive performance including quickness, smoothness and economy compared with conventional scheme.

Full text
Abstract:
Viscoelastic Strain Response (ViSR) ultrasound is a novel acoustic radiation force (ARF)-based imaging method that noninvasively interrogates the viscoelastic properties of tissue by measuring the relaxation time constant for constant stress in the Voigt biomechanical model. The time constant is defined as the ratio of coefficient of viscosity to elastic modulus, so ViSR differentiates tissue with disparate viscosities and elasticities. ViSR ultrasound is performed by delivering two successive ARF impulses to a single region of exciation (ROE) and tracking the micrometer-scale displacements induced by the propagating longitudinal waves. ViSR does not rely on transverse wave propagation, which can be disrupted and difficult to track in heterogeneous and/or geometrically complex media. Another advantage to ViSR ultrasound is a large axial range relative to conventional ARF Impulse (ARFI) ultrasound. In this overview, ViSR methods are discussed and demonstrated in calibrated viscoelastic tissue mimicking materials. ViSR ultrasound is then applied to differentiating fatty and fibrous deposition in muscle in a golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) dog model and in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with correlation to standard physical testing. ViSR is also applied to delineating the structure and composition of atherosclerotic plaques in a hypercholesterolemic pig model with histochemical validation. ViSR’s key advantages and disadvantages are discussed in regard to its general clinical utility.

Abstract:
Synchronizer mechanisms play an important role in the selection and engagement of gears in manual, automated manual and dual clutch transmissions (DCT). These mechanisms rely heavily on the balancing of torque loads in cone clutches, dog gears and from losses in the gearbox to ensure repeatable and reliable actuation, with excessive wear on friction and contact surfaces leading to degradation of actuation and potential mechanism failure. Dual clutch transmissions, in particular, provide a unique operating environment for synchronizers, most notably is its actuation with the engine still driving the wheels during normal driving conditions. Thus, the consideration of increased transmitted vibrations through the powertrain must be evaluated to study the impact of these vibrations on the synchronizer. To conduct this investigation this paper develops a detailed multi-body dynamic model of a typical automotive powertrain equipped with a dual clutch transmission. This includes engine models with torque harmonics that capture the instantaneous torque variations from piston firing in the engine. As the main consideration of this paper is the influence of engine harmonics, the semi-definite powertrain model is simplified to a fixed-free system and the response of the synchronizer mechanism to harmonic torque inputs is analyzed. Parametric analysis of the system is conducted to analyze the influence of variables — including gear ratio, torsional damper, system damping, and engine configuration — on the dynamic response of the mechanism. Results demonstrate the influence of each of these variables on synchronizer dynamics in the steady state, with stiffness of torsional damper having the strongest influence on forced vibration. Additionally, results vary significantly between single and dual lay-shaft transmissions.
