Abstract:

Pneumococcal disease is preceded by nasopharyngeal colonization, which is also the source of transmission. Current pneumococcal conjugate vaccines protect against invasive disease and reduce carriage in children, but are less effective against mucosal disease and have limited serotype coverage. There is an urgent need for new vaccines and colonization has been suggested as an alternative endpoint in vaccine licensure. Experimental human pneumococcal carriage, although potentially risky, offers a way to examine colonization in the context of vaccination. Experimental carriage also allows the in

There were two main aims to the thesis: (1) to develop a mobile 'in-field' pressure measurement system to assess pressure at Body-Load Carriage System (LCS) interfaces (shoulders and hips). (2) To evaluate and compare prototype LCS designs in-field and to provide human factor requirements for design improvement. To satisfy the aims of the thesis in-field trials were carried out in a realistic military context. The purposes of these trials were to: (1) compare the standard issue British military LCS against a prototype LCS design in terms of pressure and subjective comfort; (2) increase the und

Abstract:

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is caused by Neisseria meningitidis; a Gram-negative, aerobic encapsulated diplococcus that can cause large scale meningitis outbreaks. The risk of meningococcal carriage and disease is higher among particular age groups, certain community settings and travellers. The prevalence of invasive meningococcal disease peaks during infancy due to lack of immunity and again, to a lesser extent, in late adolescence/early adulthood due to increased social mixing. Closed and semi-closed community settings are also associated with high rates of meningococcal transmissi

Abstract:

The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the measurement of gait and posture parameters and their variation due to load weight, gender and load carriage duration when carrying military loads. In particular it examines the load carriage system as a whole rather than the backpack alone, which has been the concentration of previous biomechanical load carriage research.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the measurement and effects of pressure on the body as a result of military load carriage. High skin pressures are associated with impaired blood flow, brachial plexus disorders and user pain and discomfort. Load carriage research has largely overlooked this issue, mainly due to the lack of an appropriate methodology. The thesis consists of two parts. The aim of part I was to develop and validate a novel method of measuring on-body interface pressures underneath military load carriage equipment. The Tekscan system was used, which provides 954 individual sensing el

Load carriage (19.3 Jan, 280 min, 31 kg load) in the field elicited a cardiovascular strain of 72 ± 5 %HRmax and caused neuromuscular impairment (7 ± 8% decrease in jump height (P0.05). The differences between conditions appeared to relate to changes in substrate oxidation, neuromuscular impairment and reduced mechanical efficiency. Neuromuscular function was measured in study 5 at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treadmill walking conditions described in study 4. L W caused no changes in neuromuscular function.

Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) operators are specially trained personnel that are required to carry equipment to perform high risk tasks. Given the need to carry this equipment, it is important to understand the potentially deleterious effect that the additional load may have on tactical performance. Furthermore, it is important to identify physical fitness characteristics that are associated with the potential decrement in performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of load carriage on tactical performance and identify fitness characteristics associated wi

Some types of solid bulk materials, i.e. iron ore fine and nickel ore, have a tendency to liquefy after being loaded aboard ships, due to their unique character in rapidly transforming from solid to semi-liquid state. This abnormal behaviour is resulted from an increase in the moisture content present in

Abstract:

There is a high prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS) among manual material handling (MMH) workers. However, limited investigations have been undertaken among one large group of workers using a particular MMH method called traditional posterior load carriage (PLC). Such load carriage is typically done without the use of an assistive device (e.g., backpack) in developing countries, and involves exposure to known risk factors for MSS such as heavy loads, non-neutral postures, and high levels of repetition. The current work was completed to investigate the characteristics of the PLC tas

Although the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (the "1999 Act") reforms the common law doctrine of privity of contract, the Act has always been regarded as inapplicable to the enforcement of terms other than the exclusion or limitation of li

Successful control of meningococcal disease is achieved via immunisation against capsular polysaccharides, however, no vaccine exists against serogroup B polysaccharide due to poor immunogenicity and safety concerns.
