Abstract:

Bone quality influences bone strength with important consequences for osteoporosis, fracture risk and dental implant success. Whilst imaging that is capable of capturing bone structure in 3D is becoming more common, quantitative clinical measures of bone quality rely on bone quantity, not structure. If bone quality could be more accurately measured, and the influence of bone architecture better understood, strength may be better predicted. This thesis presents methods for making structural comparisons between successive micro-CT images of loaded bone and explores the limitations of these. I pr

Abstract:

The thesis presents a two-dimensional Risk Assessment Method (RAM) where the assessment of risk to the groundwater resources incorporates both the quantification of the probability of the occurrence of contaminant source terms, as well as the assessment of the resultant impacts. The approach emphasizes the need for a greater dependency on the potential pollution sources, rather than the traditional approach where assessment is based mainly on the intrinsic geo-hydrologic parameters. The risk is calculated using Monte Carlo simulation methods whereby random pollution events were generated to th

There are a variety of guidelines and methods available to measure and assess survey quality. Most of these are based on qualitative descriptions. In practice, they are not easy to implement and it is very difficult to make comparisons between surveys.

This research aimed to meet this need and make contributions to the evaluation and improvement of survey quality.

Less than 10% of the world’s domestic wastewater is disinfected prior to discharge into surface waters; therefore, human exposure to diverse wastewater-related pathogens results in millions of cases of illness each year. Among the enteric pathogens, viruses represent an important group of emerging pathogens and are frequently the cause of food- and water-borne outbreaks of illness. Although the World Health Organization and many government agencies mandate the use of bacterial indicators to identify poor microbial water quality, it is well known that these indicators poorly correlate with feca

Osteoporosis is a major metabolic bone disease that causes reduced bone mass, deteriorated bone microstructural and increased fracture risk. In clinical practice, the gold standard to examine bone quality and evaluate fracture risk is using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry through measurements of areal bone mineral density (aBMD). However, it has been well accepted that in addition to aBMD, bone geometry, microstructure and material properties also play important roles in determining overall bone mechanical competence, which is directly related to fracture risk.
