Abstract:
Stress kinases can be activated by hyperthermia and modify the expression level and properties of membranous and intercellular channels. We examined the role of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) in hyperthermia-induced changes of connexin43 (Cx43) expression and permeability of Cx43 gap junctions (GJs) in the rabbit skeletal myoblasts (SkMs) and Cx43-EGFP transfected HeLa cells. Hyperthermia (42°C for 6 h) enhanced the activity of JNK and its target, the transcription factor c-Jun, in both SkMs and HeLa cells. In SkMs, hyperthermia caused a 3.2-fold increase in the total Cx43 protein level and enhanced the efficacy of GJ intercellular communication (GJIC). In striking contrast, hyperthermia reduced the total amount of Cx43 protein, the number of Cx43 channels in GJ plaques, the density of hemichannels in the cell membranes, and the efficiency of GJIC in HeLa cells. Both in SkMs and HeLa cells, these changes could be prevented by XG-102, a JNK inhibitor. In HeLa cells, the changes in Cx43 expression and GJIC under hyperthermic conditions were accompanied by JNK-dependent disorganization of actin cytoskeleton stress fibers while in SkMs, the actin cytoskeleton remained intact. These findings provide an attractive model to identify the regulatory players within signalosomes, which determine the cell-dependent outcomes of hyperthermia.

Abstract:
In this paper we investigate Monte Carlo methods for the approximation of the posterior probability distributions in stochastic kinetic models (SKMs). SKMs are multivariate Markov jump processes that model the interactions among species in biological systems according to a set of usually unknown parameters. The tracking of the species populations together with the estimation of the interaction parameters is a Bayesian inference problem for which Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have been a typical computational tool. Specifically, the particle MCMC (pMCMC) method has been shown to be effective, while computationally demanding method applicable to this problem. Recently, it has been shown that an alternative approach to Bayesian computation, namely, the class of adaptive importance samplers, may be more efficient than classical MCMC-like schemes, at least for certain applications. For example, the nonlinear population Monte Carlo (NPMC) algorithm has yielded promising results with a low dimensional SKM (the classical predator-prey model). In this paper we explore the application of both pMCMC and NPMC to analyze complex autoregulatory feedback networks modelled by SKMs. We demonstrate numerically how the populations of the relevant species in the network can be tracked and their interaction rates estimated, even in scenarios with partial observations. NPMC schemes attain an appealing trade-off between accuracy and computational cost that can make them advantageous in many practical applications.

Abstract:
Arctic glaciers comprise a small fraction of the world’s land ice area, but their ongoing mass loss currently represents a large cryospheric contribution to the sea level rise. In the Suntar-Khayata Mountains (SKMs) of northeastern Siberia, in situ measurements of glacier surface mass balance (SMB) are relatively sparse, limiting our understanding of the spatiotemporal patterns of regional mass loss. Here, we present SMB time series for all glaciers in the SKMs, estimated through a glacier SMB model. Our results yielded an average SMB of −0.22 m water equivalents (w.e.) year−1 for the whole region during 1951–2011. We found that 77.4% of these glaciers had a negative mass balance and detected slightly negative mass balance prior to 1991 and significantly rapid mass loss since 1991. The analysis suggests that the rapidly accelerating mass loss was dominated by increased surface melting, while the importance of refreezing in the SMB progressively decreased over time. Projections under two future climate scenarios confirmed the sustained rapid shrinkage of these glaciers. In response to temperature rise, the total present glacier area is likely to decrease by around 50% during the period 2071–2100 under representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5).

Abstract:
PurposeThis study aims to determine the influences of explanatory factors on the efficacy of the implementation of corporate safety policy (CSP) in international projects from the perspective of international contractors.Design/methodology/approachFour explanatory factors were identified for the implementation of CSP in international projects based on literature review. A questionnaire survey was then conducted among Chinese organizations that have been involved in international projects. In total, 121 valid responses were received from the questionnaire survey and were modeled using logistic regression to examine the impact of each factor on the observed event of interest.FindingsThe factors related to the effectiveness of implementing CSP, including “attitudes toward safety management measures (ASMM),” “operational mechanism for safety regulations (OM),” “safety knowledge management system (SKMS)” and “systematic safety training scheme (STS),” were selected. The results revealed that OM and SKMS were significant predictors (p < 0.05) of the odds of implementation satisfaction of CSP, but ASMM and STS were not. The probability of satisfactory CSP implementation increased as the value of SKMS increased, whereas the probability of unsatisfactory implementation improved as the value of OM increased.Research limitations/implicationsThe questionnaire was distributed to respondents in international contractors headquartered in China. Other types of international organizations can be covered in future research. Furthermore, other factors, such as the local construction environment, should be considered in future studies.Practical implicationsThe results provide new insights on CSP implementation overseas. Effective implementation of CSP contributes to the improvement of the safety performance of contractors. The practical significance of interpreting the influence factors is that the contractors can implement more efficient and targeted approaches and tools in the execution of their CSP. The impact of OM reminds safety managers of the synchronization of CSP as well as its implementation environment and characteristics. The effect of ASMM encourages contractors to adopt Web-based and digital knowledge management systems to improve the implementation efficiency of CSP.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study lies in the selection of factors and their impacts on CSP implementation in international projects. This study has also extended knowledge on normative safety in international projects based on quantitative modeling.

Abstract:
Today, Parallel Kinematic Machine tools (PKMs) appear in automotive and aeronautic industry. These machines propose high kinematic performances allowing a higher productivity than Serial Kinematic Machine tools (SKMs). However, this kinematic behaviour is anisotropic and a particular study is then necessary to locate the part in a workspace where the kinematic performances are well exploited. The study presented in this article deals with the determination of geometric and kinematic models of a new PKM : the Tripteor X7 designed by PCI. The inverse kinematic model expresses the joint coordinates with regard to the cartesian coordinates. The kinematic model which takes into account velocity, acceleration and jerk limits axis, allows computing the displacement time between two tool positions. Finally, this model can be used to determine the workspace where Non Effective cutting Times (TNE) are minimum. The method is applied for an automotive part machining

Abstract:
The article studies the effect of trans-polynorbornene, general and special-purpose rubbers and fillers on the vulcanization characteristics of a rubber mixture, physical, mechanical, operational and dynamic properties of vulcanizates based on butadiene methylstyrene caoutchouc. The investigated model rubber mixture included SKMS-30ARK rubber, sulfur, 2,2'-dibenzthiazole disulfide, guanide F, zinc white, stearic acid, phenyl-2-naphthalamine, N-isopropyl-N'-phenyl-para-phenylenediamine, carbon blacks of grades P 514 and N 220, shungite powder and other ingredients. The rubber mixture was produced on laboratory rolls LB 320 160/160. The first (basic) version of the rubber mixture contained industrial oil I-12A as a softener. The second version of the mixture contained a modifying additive based on trans-polynorbornene and industrial oil I-12A. The third, fourth and fifth versions were prepared on the basis of a combination of rubbers SKMS-30ARK, SKN-4065 and BK-1675, including a modifying additive, as well as polyisobutylene P-118 and sevilen 11808-340. The vulcanization characteristics of the rubber mixture were studied on an MDR 3000 Basic rheometer at 150 °C for 30 min. To determine the physical and mechanical properties of rubber, standard samples of all variants of the rubber mixture were vulcanized at a temperature of 143 °C for 30 min in a vulcanization press of the P-V-100-3RT-2-PCD type. Studies of the physical, mechanical, operational and dynamic properties of rubber were carried out in accordance with the existing standards for the rubber industry. It is shown that vulcanizates containing a modifying additive have lower values of conventional tensile strength, hardness and tear resistance compared to vulcanizate of the base version of the rubber mixture and are characterized by increased dynamic and performance properties. Rubber containing a combination of butadiene-nitrile, butadiene-methylstyrene caoutchoucs and butyl caoutchouc, 10.0 mass parts sevilen 11808-340, 20.0 mass parts of trans-polynorbornene composed of in the modifying additive and 55.0 mass parts of carbon black P 324, possesses improved physical, mechanical and dynamic properties, as well as high resistance in sea water.

Abstract:
In vitro generation of functional neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) utilizing the same induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) source for muscle and motoneurons would be of great value for disease modeling and tissue engineering. Although, differentiation and characterization of iPSC-derived motoneurons are well established, and iPSC-derived skeletal muscle (iPSC-SKM) has been reported, there is a general lack of systemic and functional characterization of the iPSC-SKM. This study performed a systematic characterization of iPSC-SKM differentiated using a serum-free, small molecule-directed protocol. Morphologically, the iPSC-SKM demonstrated the expression and appropriate distribution of acetylcholine, ryanodine and dihydropyridine receptors. Fiber type analysis revealed a mixture of human fast (Type IIX, IIA) and slow (Type I) muscle types and the absence of animal Type IIB fibers. Functionally, the iPSC-SKMs contracted synchronously upon electrical stimulation, with the contraction force comparable to myofibers derived from primary myoblasts. Most importantly, when co-cultured with human iPSC-derived motoneurons from the same iPSC source, the myofibers contracted in response to motoneuron stimulation indicating the formation of functional NMJs. By demonstrating comparable structural and functional capacity to primary myoblast-derived myofibers, this defined, iPSC-SKM system, as well as the personal NMJ system, has applications for patient-specific drug testing and investigation of muscle physiology and disease.

Abstract:
Skeletal muscle (SKM) injury or myopathy results in structural or functional defects in SKMs that can be caused by variety of factors such as (1) genetic, (2) drug-induced, (3) disease progression (cachexia), or (4) aging (sarcopenia). Creatine kinase (CK) and aspartate transaminase (AST) activity assays have been routinely used as SKM injury biomarkers, but they lack sensitivity and tissue specificity. In collaboration with the Predictive Safety Testing Consortium, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of a muscle injury biomarker panel (MIP) compared to CK and AST and their correlation with the histology scores across 34 different rat studies. The MIP panel included the analytes skeletal troponin I, myosin light chain 3, fatty acid binding protein 3, and a CK mass (versus activity) assay. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve for MIP panel ranged from 0.82 to 0.91 as compared to 0.71 and 0.82 for CK and AST activity assays, respectively. Because the MIP biomarkers outperformed the routine biomarkers, the European Medicines Agency and U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted Letters of Support encouraging further study of these analytes and acknowledged the utility of the MIP panel. Ongoing efforts are directed toward the application of the MIP panel biomarkers in clinical studies and regulatory qualification.

Staigios kūdikio mirties sindromo diagnostika ir etiopatogenezė taikant šiuolaikinius metodus išlieka ribota ir net iki 0,5% mirties priežasčių nepavyksta nustatyti, atsakoma ne į visus klausimus susijusius su sindromo išsivystymu ir diagnoze. Viena iš šiuolaikinių metodų perspektyvų yra imunohistocheminių bei molekulinių metodų taikymas diagnozės patvirtinimui arba atmetimui. Minėti tyrimai yra labai svarbūs priežastinių ryšių nustatymui ir etiopatogenezės pagrindimui.

Diagnosis and etiopathogenesis of Sudden infant death syndrome are limited even nowadays, and up to 0.5 % of death the cause remains undiagnosed, not all the questions, related to the syndrome and diagnosis are answered. One of the applicable methods and perspectives for diagnosis rejection or approval are immunohistochemistry analysis and molecular methods. A very important determination of causal links and proof of etiopathogenesis are very important and possible only after the already mentioned tests. Metabolic disorders, especially glycogenosis type I disease - one of the sorest and the most common, but least-studied cases. The aim of this study is to diagnose glycogenosis type I using the latest immunohistochemistry and molecular methods. The latest technology of paraffin embedded tissue was used in the study, tissues were evaluated histologically, immunohistochemical reaction was carried-out. DNA was extracted from paraffin embedded tissues, quality was measured by spectrophotometric analysis and gel electrophoresis. Using the heart and liver - DNA polymerase chain reaction was performed using targeted glycogenosis type I primers. The results showed an increase of glycogen in the liver.

Abstract:
A concept is established for adaptive vibration control of shaped alpine skis using smart materials – specifically magnetorheological (MR) fluid. This work presents the motivation behind the concept and the work to verify its viability, technically and commercially. Research is reviewed, relevant to understanding ski dynamics. Literature on smart materials is similarly researched and presented to establish understanding of the use of the technology for dynamic control. The influence of geometry, materials and construction on ski dynamics is presented. Conventional vibration control techniques and their influence on the dynamic control of modern alpine skis are explained. A review of the boundary conditions used in modelling ski dynamics is presented and the influence of skier position and environmental conditions are discussed. Application of smart technology in skis are presented with reference to a shape memory alloy concept and commercially available piezo-systems. Procedures for quantifying the physical characteristics of a ski are discussed and a custom-built laboratory rig is used to test skis under controlled, repeatable conditions. Results from static and dynamic laboratory tests on skis are used to perform system analysis, with reference to technical literature. Analysis of the signal generated by the moving ski during skiing (i.e. signal analysis) is carried out on results from field-tests of instrumental skis. The technical objectives and perceived benefits of adaptive vibration control of skies with MR fluid are examined and technical and commercial system constraints are identified. Results are presented from laboratory tests investigating fore-body vibration control on a concept demonstrator, comprising a MR fluid damper integrated on a simplified ski-like structure. Subsequent analysis is carried out to review the technical and commercial viability of the concept.

Abstract:
Skiing is a fast and competitive sport where skiers must push their performance limit to win medals, the di↵erence can be within hundreds of a second. Therefore, technical improvements are essential for assisting in the skier’s improvement. This thesis project is a joint project between KTH and the Swedish Ski Association and Swedish Ski Team with the purpose of obtaining a better understanding of the structural properties of alpine skis, aiming to improve the individual selection process of skis for the Swedish World Cup Skiers. The goal of the project is to develop and evaluate a method to characterize alpine skis in form of two main structural properties related to the ski characteristics, bending and torsion sti↵ness. An optical measurement device and image post-processing and analysis is used to determine the deflection and twist of skis, which are used to determine the bending and torsional sti↵ness. The method provides, a structural property variation over the whole ski length compared to the existing ISO standard where only a spring coefficient of the skis main parts is determined, which is insufficient for a good over all comparison. The method could be further used in several aspects to help the Swedish World Cup skiers win more medals. It can be used to help in the selection process of new skis for the next season where an objective comparison between models can be done, as oppose to today when the selection process is highly subjective. Skiers usually vary the ski plate constellation and the method could help skiers with their race preparations, like changing the constellation of the ski plate to optimize the sti↵ness for a specific race condition with engineering knowledge rather than just trusting the feeling. The use of this method can reduce the number of ski tests performed by the skier, thus leaving more time for practice. Testing skis in a laboratory environment also increases objectivity in testing and can therefore give the Swedish Ski Association and Swedish skiers a competitive advantage in upcoming competitions.

La condition d'annulation de la densité linéique de travail virtuel, qui détermine rigoureusement l'état d'équilibre de la section, est réalisée de manière approchée par une méthode d'éléments finis. Elle conduit à la définition d'une matrice de rigidité de section, caractéristique de tous les types de sollicitations et de leurs couplages éventuels. Une matrice de raideur d'élément de poutre tridimensionnel en est déduite. La seconde partie est consacrée à l'étude du comportement de telles poutres en présence de liaisons unilatérales. Les conditions de liaison/séparation sont examinées au cours d'un processus itératif basé sur une méthode de gradient conjugué modifiée.

Abstract:

Att vårda sina relationer har för företag blivit betydligt viktigare och mer tid har lagts på utvecklandet av relationsmarknadsföring. Hur dessa relationer skapas och vad som gör att de utvecklas och bibehålls har dessutom varit i forskarnas blickfång. I dagens forskning åtskiljs relationer mellan företag samt relationer mellan företag och konsumenter.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att, genom att studera och analysera Hendryx Skis Industries konsumentrelationer, undersöka huruvida Holmlunds relationsmodell, som utvecklats för att studera relationer mellan företag, även är tillämpbar för att undersöka relationer mellan företag och konsumenter.

Med skidföretaget Hendryx Skis Industries som fallstudie analyserades det insamlade materialet med hjälp av tre dimensioner; en teknisk, en social och en ekonomisk. Tydligt kan sägas att den tekniska och sociala dimensionen kan identifieras som viktiga och väl fungerande mätinstrument. Däremot bör bättre anpassade ekonomiska variabler utarbetas för att på bästa sätt kunna analysera kundrelationer även inom denna dimension.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Engenharia Informática
The volume of digital information is increasingly larger and even though organiza-tions are making more of this information available, without the proper tools users have great difficulties in retrieving documents about subjects of interest. Good infor-mation retrieval mechanisms are crucial for answering user information needs. Nowadays, search engines are unavoidable - they are an essential feature in docu-ment management systems. However, achieving good relevancy is a difficult problem particularly when dealing with specific technical domains where vocabulary mismatch problems can be prejudicial. Numerous research works found that exploiting the lexi-cal or semantic relations of terms in a collection attenuates this problem. In this dissertation, we aim to improve search results and user experience by inves-tigating the use of potentially connected Web vocabularies in information retrieval en-gines. In the context of open Web-based SKOS vocabularies we propose a query expan-sion framework implemented in a widely used IR system (Lucene/Solr), and evaluated using standard IR evaluation datasets. The components described in this thesis were applied in the development of a new search system that was integrated with a rapid applications development tool in the context of an internship at Quidgest S.A.

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2008.
"June 2008."
At the request of K2 Sports, in Seattle, Washington, a machine was constructed to measure the base profile of skis and snowboards. The measurements to be taken included overall length, running surface length, locations of the contact points, tip and tail height, and maximum camber height, each of these values having a strong effect on the performance of the ski or snowboard. Parts from two existing non-functioning machines, one acquired in K2 Sports' acquisition of Line Skis, and the other constructed by previous interns, were used to construct the new machine. The new machine was designed to function by placing the ski on two parallel flat surfaces on the Line machine's frame with a gap between for a laser sensor. The guide rail and cart system from the past interns' machine was retrofitted with the motor and controls of the Line machine and a new drive belt to carry the sensor along the length of the ski. A Micro Epsilon optoNCDT 1401-200 laser sensor having a resolution of 100 pm and a data acquisition rate of 1kHz was used to acquire the height data as the sensor moved at a controlled speed along the entire length of the ski. Data was recorded using Micro Epsilon's ild1401 Tool software, and processed automatically through a National Instruments LabVIEW Virtual Instrument. The machine was presented to K2 engineers on August 15, 2007. It accurately records the desired measurements which are helpful in predicting the performance effects of design changes to the ski or snowboard. The machine remains in daily use.

The technology called Flow Motion Technology (FMT) is utilizing the smooth and effective rolling motion of a human footstep, and has proven to be very successful after implementation in both hockey skates and inlines. Flow Motion Technology AB has interest in investigating whether the technology can be implemented in other sports applications, which this thesis project concerns. The project examines the implementation of FMT in the alpine skiing segment. The purpose is to provide Flow Motion Technology AB with a foundation for evaluating the potential of investing further in the development of FMT applied in alpine skiing. FMT is implemented in a feature positioned between ski and binding of most alpine race skis, commonly called a race plate. The work is divided into two parts; The first part covers the development and manufacturing of a prototype along with detailed description of the procedures and methods used. The second part is about the tests of the prototype’s vibration-damping properties carried out in laboratory environment along with analysis of the results. Initial field tests are also carried out followed by fundamental analysis. An existing plate intended for competition use is tested in parallel with the prototype and is used as a reference when analyzing the results. The results show that the ski equipped with the FMT plate dampened vibrations on an average of 27 % faster than the reference plate. Measurements was compiled for three damping intervals specified for the tests performed in laboratory. A statistically significant difference in all three cases was obtained. The measured maximum amplitude of the acceleration in the vibrations was also significantly lower for the ski implemented with the FMT plate compared to the reference plate. The eigen frequencies of the ski measured in laboratory were not significantly affected if the ski was fitted with the FMT plate or the reference plate. The eigen frequencies measured in field generally corresponded to the measured in laboratory, with the difference that they were offset on an average of 7 Hz higher in field.
Flow Motion Technology AB har tidigare utvecklat en teknologi för att förbättra hockeyskridskor och inlines. Teknologin kallad Flow Motion Technology (FMT) utnyttjar den naturliga och effektiva rullande rörelse i en människas fotsteg, och har efter implementation i hockeyskridskor och inlines visat sig vara framgångsrik. Flow Motion Technology AB vill undersöka om denna teknologi kan implementeras i andra idrottssammanhang för att utvärdera möjligheter att bredda företagets affärsområde. Detta examensarbete är en del av denna undersökning, och i denna rapport beskrivs implementationen av FMT i segmentet alpinskidåkning. Syftet med projektet är att förse Flow Motion Technology AB med underlag för att utvärdera lönsamheten i att investera mer i utvecklingen av FMT riktad mot alpinskidåkning. FMT implementeras i projektet i en raceplatta, en komponent monterad mellan skida och bindning. Arbetet är uppdelat i två delar; utveckling och tillverkning av en funktionsprototyp med detaljerad beskrivning av tillvägagångssätt och metoder, samt tester av prototypens vibrationsdämpande prestanda i labbmiljö med tillhörande analys av resultat. Initiala tester utförs även i fält med enklare analys av resultat. En befintlig bindningsplatta avsedd för tävling testas parallellt med den utvecklade plattan och används som referens vid analys av resultaten. Resultaten visar att plattan implementerad med FMT dämpade en skidas vibrationer i genomsnitt 27 % snabbare än vad referensplattan gjorde vid de tre dämpningsintervall som specificerats för testen i labbmiljö. En statistiskt signifikant skillnad i alla tre fall. Den uppmätta maxamplituden för accelerationen i vibrationerna var även statistiskt signifikant lägre för skidan implementerad med FMT jämfört med referensplattan. Egenfrekvenserna uppmätta i labb påverkades inte nämnvärt om skidan var monterad med FMT-plattan eller referensplattan. De egenfrekvenser som uppmättes i fält motsvarade generellt de som uppmättes i labb med skillnaden att de var förskjutna till att i genomsnitt vara 7 Hz högre.

Abstract:
The influence of the Semantic Web is growing in many areas. In this paper, the authors present an online Product Design Semantic Knowledge Management System (PD-SKMS) in order to provide a novel approach for presentation, querying/reasoning, and instantiating/updating of knowledge related to product design in an engineering domain. A distributed model is proposed, which is composed of a host hybrid-data repository (HDR), external public linked data sources (EPLD), a Semantic data management engine (SDME), and a web-based user interface layer. Ontologies to preserve knowledge for the product assembly domain are set up as product semantic repositories (PSR) in the host hybrid-data repository. To utilize the legacy design data, a conventional product database (PDB) storing design data is also integrated into this repository. The SDME is able to supply querying/reasoning and instantiating/updating services on PSRs, as well as searching and updating services on PDB. Through web-based user interfaces, engineers on the Web can inquire/contribute design information from/to both PSR and PDB. Additionally, the capability of PD-SKMS is extended by querying on external public linked data sources. It is concluded that the product design environment, constructed on PD-SKMS, allows more knowledge questioners/contributors to be involved in product design tasks in a more interactive manner, and thus greatly improves traditional behaviors for design knowledge sharing and exchanging.

Abstract:
Capturing engineering domain knowledge is a challenging problem due to several factors such as the complexity of the knowledge as well as the multiplicity of the representation techniques with varying underlying syntax and semantics. The existing approaches for knowledge capture and organization in engineering are typically ad hoc in nature, which inhibit efficient knowledge sharing and deployment. The objective of this paper is to introduce a systematic methodology for knowledge capture, organization, and modeling in the manufacturing domain. The proposed methodology focuses on the conceptualization phase and utilizes Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) early in the process for creating a controlled vocabulary, or thesaurus, in the domain of interest. The resulting SKOS-based thesaurus is a lightweight ontology that helps identify the core concepts that will be translated into formal classes in an axiomatic ontology such as MSDL. The proposed methodology is discussed with the aid of examples from metal casting domain. Also, use of Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) for representation of constraint knowledge is discussed in this paper.
