Full textThe thesis presents a three dimensional shape optimization program which analyzes models made up of linear isoparametric elements. The goal of the program is to achieve a near uniform model stress state and thereby to minimize material volume.
The algorithm is iterative, and performs two analyses per iteration. The first analysis is a static stress analysis of the model for one or more load cases. Based on results from the static analysis, an expansion analysis is performed. Model elements are expanded or contracted based on whether they are stressed higher or lower than a reference stress. The shape changing is done by creating an expansion load vector using the differences between the calculated element stresses and the reference stress. Expansion displacements are solved for, and instead of using them to calculate stresses, the displacements are added to the nodal coordinates to reshape the structure. This process continues until a user defined convergence tolerance is met.
Four programs were used for the analysis process. Models were created using a finite element modeling program called I-IDEAS or CAIEDS. The I-IDEAS output files were converted to input files for the optimizer by a conversion program. The model was optimized using the shape optimization process described above. Post- processing was done using a program written with a graphical programming language called graPHIGS.
Models used to test the program were: a cylindrical pressure vessel with nonuniform thickness, a spherical pressure vessel with non-uniform thickness, a torque arm, and a draft sill casting o a railroad hopper car. Results were compared to similar studies from selected references.
Both pressure vessels converged to near uniform thicknesses, which compared ell with the reference work. In a two dimensional analysis, the torque arm volume decreased 24 percent, which compared well with published results. A three dimensional analysis showed a volume reduction of l3 percent, but there were convergence problems. Finally, the draft sill casting was reduced in volume by 9 percent from a manually optimized design.

Full textEls processos fonamentals en desenvolupament i en fisiologia estan determinats per l’estructura tridimensional dels teixits epitelials. Tot i així, l’explicació de com aquests teixits es deformen i es repleguen formant estructures complexes ha restat incerta perquè les seves propietats mecàniques en tres dimensions eren inaccessibles de forma experimental. Mitjançant la combinació de mesures de la tensió epitelial, de la forma i de la pressió luminal amb modelatge matemàtic, mostrem que els teixits de cèl·lules epitelials són materials superelàstics actius. Desenvolupem un nou mètode per produir de forma massiva matrius de doms epitelials (teixit epitelial en forma de cúpula) controlant a la vegada la seva forma i mida a la base. A partir de la mesura de les deformacions tridimensionals del substrat i de la mesura de la curvatura dels doms, obtenim una mesura directa de la pressió luminal i de la tensió epitelial. Amb observacions en escales temporals d’hores podem fer el mapatge de la relació tensió-deformació epitelial, que revela que la tensió es fa constant mentre l’àrea augmenta i es multiplica unes quantes vegades fins arribar a una deformació areal del 300%. Mostrem que aquestes deformacions nominals extremes són acomodades per una deformació de les cèl·lules individuals que és molt heterogènia, amb cèl·lules lleugerament deformades que coexisteixen amb altres que assoleixen el 1000% de deformació areal, aparentment en contradicció amb la uniformitat de la tensió mesurada. Aquesta fenomenologia evoca la superelasticitat, que és un comportament mecànic que s’atribueix generalment a inestabilitats materials microscòpiques en alguns aliatges metàl·lics. Aportem evidències que, en les cèl·lules epitelials, aquesta inestabilitat està desencadenada per una dilució del còrtex d’actina induïda per la deformació i limitada per la xarxa de filaments intermedis. Finalment, implementem un model matemàtic que captura a la vegada la relació tensió-deformació i l’heterogeneïtat en la deformació. El nostre estudi revela un nou tipus de comportament mecànic -la superelasticitat activa- que permet als teixits epitelials poder suportar deformacions extremes mantenint la tensió constant.

Full textCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of death in the Western world. The desire to prevent and treat CVDs has triggered a rapid development of medical imaging systems. As a consequence, the amount of imaging data collected in health care institutions has increased considerably. This fact has raised the need for automated analysis tools to support diagnosis with reliable and reproducible image interpretation. The interpretation task requires to translate raw imaging data into quantitative parameters, which are considered relevant to classify the patient’s cardiac condition. To achieve this task, statistical shape model approaches have found favoritism given the 3D (or 3D+t) nature of cardiovascular imaging datasets. By deforming the statistical shape model to image data from a patient, the heart can be analyzed in a more holistic way. Currently, the field of cardiovascular imaging is constituted by different modalities. Each modality exploits distinct physical phenomena, which allows us to observe the cardiac organ from different angles. Clinicians collect all these pieces of information to form an integrated mental model. The mental model includes anatomical and functional information to display a full picture of the patient’s heart. It is highly desirable to transform this mental model into a computational model able to integrate the information in a comprehensive manner. Generating such a model is not simply a visualization challenge. It requires having a methodology able to extract relevant quantitative parameters by applying the same principle. This assures that the measurements are directly comparable. Such a methodology should be able to: 1) accurately segment the cardiac cavities from multimodal datasets, 2) provide a unified frame of reference to integrate multiple information sources, and 3) aid the classification of a patient’s cardiac condition. This thesis builds upon the idea that statistical shape models, in particular Active Shape Models, are a robust and accurate approach with the potential to incorporate all these requirements. In order to handle multiple image modalities, we separate the statistical shape information from the appearance information. We obtain the statistical shape information from a high resolution modality and include the appearance information by simulating the physics of acquisition of other modalities. The contributions of this thesis can be summarized as: 1) a generic method to automatically construct intensity models for Active Shape Models based on simulating the physics of acquisition of the given imaging modality, 2) the first extension of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) simulator tailored to produce realistic cardiac images, and 3) a novel automatic intensity model and reliability training strategy applied to cardiac MRI studies. Each of these contributions represents an article published or submitted to a peer-review archival journal.

Several factors play a role in stability of impressions made from elastomeric impression materials. These include
polymerization shrinkage, loss of by-products during condensation, thermal contraction from oral temperature to room temperature, imbibition when exposed to water, disinfectant or high humidity and incomplete recovery from deformation due to viscoelastic behavior. An ideal impression material should be dimensionally stable over time to allow for pour at the convenience of the operator. Several studies evaluated the dimensional accuracy of elastomeric impression materials based on various factors including effects of repeat pour, temperature, humidity, disinfectants, impression techniques, and filler loading amongst others. Most of the previous studies did not use the standardized method described by the ADA specification for elastomeric impression materials..."

Full textThe following dissertation considers the single-scan two-dimensional positional accuracy of a pulsed surveillance radar. The theoretical aspects to the positional accuracy are considered and a generalized analytical approach is presented. Practical position estimators are often complex, and theoretical predictions of their performance generally yield unfriendly mathematical equations. In order to evaluate the performance of these estimators, a simulation method is described based on replicating the received video signal. The accuracy of such a simulation is determined largely by the accuracy of the models applied, and these are considered in detail. Different azimuth estimation techniques are described, and their performances are evaluated with the aid of the signal simulation. The best azimuth accuracy performance is obtained with the class of analogue processing estimators, but they are found to be more susceptible to interference than their binary processing counterparts. The class of binary processing estimators offer easily implemented techniques which are relatively insensitive to radar cross-section scintillation characteristics. A hybrid estimator, using both analogue and binary processing, is also evaluated and found to give an improved accuracy performance over the binary processing method while still maintaining the relative insensitivity to radar cross-section fluctuation.

Full textIn structural bioinformatics, predicting the secondary structure(s) of ribonucleic acids (RNAs) represents a major direction of research to understand cellular mechanisms. A classic approach for structure postulates that, at the thermodynamic equilibrium, RNA adopts its various conformations according to a Boltzmann distribution based on its free energy. Modern approaches, therefore, favor the consideration of the dominant conformations. Such approaches are limited in accuracy due to the imprecision of the energy model and the structure topology restrictions.Experimental data can be used to circumvent the shortcomings of predictive computational methods. RNA probing encompasses a wide array of experimental protocols dedicated to revealing partial structural information through exposure to a chemical or enzymatic reagent, whose effect depends on, and thus reveals, features of its adopted structure(s). Accordingly, single-reagent probing data is used to supplement free-energy models within computational methods, leading to significant gains in prediction accuracy. In practice, however, structural biologists integrate probing data produced in various experimental conditions, using different reagents or over a collection of mutated sequences, to model RNA structure(s). This integrative approach remains manual, time-consuming and arguably subjective in its modeling principles. In this Ph.D., we contributed in silico methods for an automated modeling of RNA structure(s) from multiple sources of probing data.We have first established automated pipelines for the acquisition of reactivity profiles from primary data produced through a variety of protocols (SHAPE, DMS using Capillary Electrophoresis, SHAPE-Map/Ion Torrent). We have designed and implemented a new, versatile, method that simultaneously integrates multiple probing profiles. Based on a combination of Boltzmann sampling and structural clustering, it produces alternative stable conformations jointly supported by a set of probing experiments. As it favors recurrent structures, our method allows exploiting the complementarity of several probing assays. The quality of predictions produced using our method compared favorably against state-of-the-art computational predictive methods on single-probing assays.Our method was used to identify models for structured regions in RNA viruses. In collaboration with experimental partners, we suggested a refined structure of the HIV-1 Gag IRES, showing a good compatibility with chemical and enzymatic probing data. The predicted structure allowed us to build hypotheses on binding sites that are functionally relevant to the translation. We also proposed conserved structures in Ebola Untranslated regions, showing a high consistency with both SHAPE probing and evolutionary data. Our modeling allows us to detect conserved and stable stem-loop at the 5’end of each UTR, a typical structure found in viral genomes to protect the RNA from being degraded by nucleases.Our method was extended to the analysis of sequence variants. We analyzed a collection of DMS probed mutants, produced by the Mutate-and-Map protocol, leading to better structural models for the GIR1 lariat-capping ribozyme than from the sole wild-type sequence. To avoid systematic production of point-wise mutants, and exploit the recent SHAPEMap protocol, we designed an experimental protocol based on undirected mutagenesis and sequencing, where several mutated RNAs are produced and simultaneously probed. Produced reads must then be re-assigned to mutants to establish their reactivity profiles used later for structure modeling. The assignment problem was modeled as a likelihood maximization joint inference of mutational profiles and assignments, and solved using an instance of the "Expectation-Maximization" algorithm. Preliminary results on a reduced/simulated sample of reads showed a remarkable decrease of the reads assignment errors compared to a classic algorithm
