Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to qualitatively examine family relationships in families where one adult member was diagnosed with chronic illness resulting in chronic pain to determine why the crucible, or trial, of chronic illness triggered some families to strengthen while others weakened. The introduction of chronic illness instigates a process of change in family life, yet there is a paucity of research examining families in this situation, specifically when the chronic illness results in chronic pain. Utilizing grounded theory methodology and qualitative data analysis methods, dyadic interviews and periods of observation were conducted with six families across the United States. Questions were focused on family relationships and the impact of adult-onset chronic illness on relationships and family life. Open, axial, and selective coding were conducted during the process of data analysis, illuminating the important role family unity played in helping families remain strong. Findings detail the relationship between family strength and family unity. Adult-onset chronic illness provided a catalyst for families to establish and/or maintain family unity. Five families established or maintained family unity and reported positive changes in family strength, while one family failed to maintain or establish family unity and reported negative changes in family strength leading to separation and eventually divorce. This study has important implications for families facing adult-onset chronic illness and for practitioners serving this population.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science<br>Kimberly Waggle Kramer and Bill Zhang<br>Concrete masonry units are a common method of construction in the world. Since the masonry units can be constructed with ease. Fifty billion water bottles are consumed every year. Lack of waste management and recycling in third world countries has come to the attention of many organizations. The use of plastic bottles in construction materials has been around for the past twenty years, but with little focus on using full plastic bottles in the materials. The Engineers Without Borders student group on the campus at Kansas State University have found a way to utilize the full 500-mL plastic bottle in the creation of concrete walls. The bottles laid horizontally with concrete on both sides and as mortar between the bottles was used. These bottles create large voids in the wall decreasing the compressive strength of the wall. This thesis presents the results of a study conducted to determine the compressive strength of concrete masonry units with plastic bottle cores. The plastic bottles were used to create the center voids in the masonry units. Concrete was placed around the bottles to encase them in the masonry units. The study utilized 500-mL plastic bottles from five different water companies placed inside masonry units of 7.87-inch wide by 8.26-inch high by 15.75-inch long (200-mm wide by 210-mm high by 400-mm long) in size and analyzed the resultant compressive strength. The testing for compressive strength was determined according to the ASTM C140 standard. Results from this study were deemed reasonable due to the testing of concrete cylinders as a control compressive strength. Determination of the compressive strength of the concrete masonry units allows for further study to continue in concrete masonry units with plastic bottle cores to determine if they are viable in third world countries.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examined the change in skeletal muscle architecture with contractile force production, the relationship of architecture with muscle strength parameters and if muscle tendinous tissue stiffness determines in vivo explosive strength (i.e. rate of torque development, RTD). Muscle and tendinous tissue adaptations to contrasting strength training regimes, and the potential capacity of these tissues to adapt following chronic strength training were also explored. Quadriceps femoris fascicle length (FL) decreased, while the pennation angle (PA) increased in a curvi-linearly manner from rest to maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque. Consequently, effective physiological cross-sectional area (effPCSA) during MVC was 27% greater than at rest, although effPCSA measured at rest and during MVC had similar correlations to maximal strength. In the earliest phase of contraction, FL, but not PA, was negatively related (R2=0.187) to voluntary RTD. Neither FL nor PA was related to maximal isometric or dynamic strength. Muscle-tendon unit (MTU) and patellar tendon (PT) stiffness were unrelated to voluntary and evoked RTD. Relative PT stiffness was also unrelated to relative RTD, although relative MTU stiffness was related to voluntary RTD (25-55%MVT, R2≤0.188) and evoked RTD (5-50%MVT, R2≤0.194). MTU stiffness increased after sustained-contraction (SCT, +21%), though not explosive-contraction strength training (ECT). PT stiffness increased similarly after ECT (+20%) and SCT (+16%), yet neither induced tendon hypertrophy. SCT produced modest muscle (+8%) and aponeurosis (+7%) hypertrophy. Chronic strength trained (CST: >3 years) males had substantially greater muscle and aponeurosis size, but similar tendon size as untrained controls (UNT) and short-term (12 weeks) strength trained (STT) individuals. Between these groups, at the highest common force, MTU stiffness was indifferent, while PT stiffness was similarly greater in STT and CST than UNT. These results suggest FL and PA have little influence on muscle strength and tendon stiffness has no influence on RTD. Maximum strength negated any qualitative influence of MTU stiffness on in vivo RTD. Component MTU tissues (muscle-aponeurosis vs. external tendon) adapt differentially depending on the strength training regime. Specifically, free tendon appeared to adapt to high magnitude loading, while loading duration is also an important stimulus for the muscle-aponeurosis. However, chronic strength training was not concordant with greater higher force MTU stiffness, and does not further increase higher force PT stiffness beyond the adaptations that occur after 12 weeks of strength training. Finally, no evidence was found for tendon hypertrophy in response to strength training.

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, 2006.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaf 25).<br>Polycarbonates have long been studied for their excellent mechanical toughness. Adding side units to polycarbonate could increase physical properties of the polymer. The role of triptycene in polycarbonate was studied by adding a low concentration of triptycene-containing polymer chains, and using compression testing. The triptycene polycarbonate was a blend created from two separate products. Differential Scanning Calorimetry was used to determine if the samples had phase separated. Thermal degradation of the samples was checked for using Thermogravimetric Analysis. Results indicated that triptycene-containing polycarbonates had higher compressive yield strengths than non-triptycene polycarbonates. The polymers were stronger due to the interlocking mechanism and the steric hindrance of the triptycene units. The design of strengthening polymers by adding triptycene units could prove useful to improve high performing polymers, or to give low molecular weight polymers more stability.<br>by Douglas Fraser.<br>S.B.

Abstract:
The investigation of motor-unit fatigability in reduced-animal models has been dominated by a single fatigue test, one fatigue index, and an emphasis on changes in the magnitude of (usually peak) force. Although the standard fatigue test has been reported to elicit changes in the dynamic phases of an isometric tetanus, this has not been systematically studied in single motor units. Furthermore, changes in the profile of individual tetani during the fatigue test have led some investigators to suggest that other force parameters (i.e., integrated force) or fatigue indices may provide additional information about motor-unit performance during the test. The purposes of this project were to: (1) evaluate the time courses of a variety of force parameters characterizing both the magnitude of force and the dynamic aspects of force during a 4-min fatigue test of functionally isolated cat, tibialis posterior motor units; and (2) determine if motor units could be classified into the conventional motor-unit types based on these new parameters. There was considerable variability in the average time course of the magnitude of force during the fatigue test. The variability within the type FR and F(int) motor-unit groups resulted in several units whose characteristics bordered those which, by definition, separate unit types. The classification of these units depended on the force parameter and fatigue index used to quantify their fatigability. The time course of the magnitude of force also revealed differences in the behavior of potentiating and non-potentiating groups. There were many differences between motor-unit types in terms of dynamic-force parameters before, during and after the fatigue test. Comparison of initial and 2-min values revealed a preferential effect of stimulation on force development in type S and FR units (i.e., increased rate) and on force decay in type F(int) and FF units (i.e., prolonged duration and decreased rate). The time courses of these effects further revealed qualitative differences between different combinations of motor-unit types. Groups of units (or lack thereof) revealed by dynamic-force parameters were compared to conventional motor-unit types by discriminant analysis. The results were not always consistent with conventional types.

Abstract:
Over the last decades, it has been shown that the human neuromuscular system is highly adaptive and can be modified in response to different motor training programs. Depending on the demands of the motor training, the adaptations seem to involve distinct structural and functional changes across the motor cortex, spinal cord and skeletal muscle. The technological development observed in the last years, increased the use of electrophysiological techniques to assess the neuromuscular adaptations to motor training. Nonetheless, the current evidences on the neuromuscular adaptations to different motor training are inconsistent and incomplete, in particular regarding endurance and strength training. This is mainly due to lack of studies based on a rigorous consideration of the limitations of the available techniques. Therefore, the main goal of this dissertation is to give new insights on the adaptations of the neuromuscular system by systematically investigating the changes in its central and peripheral properties in response to endurance and strength training. For this purpose, recent developed techniques for recording and processing electromiographycal (EMG) signals were applied. The first study (STUDY I) investigated if 6 weeks of either endurance or strength training alters the motor unit behavior and if such changes were accompanied by alterations in muscle fiber properties. Intramuscular and multichannel surface EMG recordings were used to investigate the motor unit discharge rates and motor unit conduction velocity (MUCV) of the vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis during submaximal isometric contractions. The results demonstrated that endurance training increased endurance capacity and was accompanied by a decrease of the motor unit discharge rates. In contrast, strength training enhanced maximum force output and was accompanied by an increase of the motor unit discharge rates. By the end of 6 weeks of training, both training programs elicited increases in the motor unit conduction velocity, revealing electrophysiological adaptations of the muscle fiber membrane properties in similar directions. However, in the first 3 weeks of training, when changes in motor unit discharge rates were most marked, changes in MUCV were not observed. These findings reveal different time courses of some of the neural and peripheral adaptations in response to different motor training programs. The observed changes may contribute for distinct neuromuscular fatigue profiles among endurance and strength-trained athletes. Therefore, the aim of the second study (STUDY II) was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of endurance and a strength training program on acute responses of the muscle fiber membrane properties and discharges rates of low threshold motor units of the vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis muscles during prolonged submaximal isometric contractions. The conduction velocity of the individual motor units was estimated from the averaged multichannel EMG surface potentials by a spike triggered average technique. It was shown that motor unit discharge rate declines over the duration of the sustained contraction and their trend was not significantly affected by training. Conversely, the rate of decline of motor unit conduction velocity during sustained contractions was reduced following six weeks of both endurance and strength training, however a greater reduction is observed following endurance training. These alterations likely contribute to longer times to task failure following endurance training. The third study (STUDY III) intended to clarify the mechanisms involved in the opposite adjustments of the motor unit discharge rate observed in the study I. The results revealed that following 3 weeks of endurance training the excitability in the H-reflex pathway increased but the V-wave amplitude remained unchanged. In contrast, following strength training the V-wave amplitude increased whereas subtle changes were observed in the H-reflex pathway. These results suggest that the elements of the H-reflex pathway are strongly involved in chronic adjustments in response to endurance training, contributing to enhance resistance to fatigue. Conversely, following strength training, it is more likely that increased descending neural drive during MVC and/or modulation in afferents other than Ia afferents contributed to increased motoneuron excitability and maximal voluntary contraction. The present work revealed for the first time that endurance and strength training induces opposite adjustments in the motor unit behavior. Moreover, the distinct adjustments in the spinal cord output, seems to result from changes in different neural mechanisms located at supraspinal and/or spinal level. The neural adjustments following endurance training seems to result from changes at spinal level whereas the adjustments following strength training are likely due to changes at supraspinal level. These adaptations occurred following a short period of training, while no changes in the contractile and electrophysiological properties of the muscle fibers were detectable. Changes at peripheral level occurred only following a longer period of training.

Abstract:
Corrugated paper boxes are the predominant packaging and shipping material and account for the majority of packaging refuse by weight. Wooden pallets are equally predominant in shipping, transportation and warehousing logistics. The interaction between these two components is complex and unexplored leaving industry to compensate with outdated component specific safety factors. Providing a focused exploration of the box and pallet interaction will open the door for holistic design practices that will reduce cost, weight, damage, and safety incidents. This study was separated into four chapters exploring different aspects of the corrugated box to pallet interaction. The first chapter evaluates the support surface provided by a pallet consists of deckboards spaced perpendicular to the length of the pallet. The resulting gaps between deckboards reduce the support to the box. Gaps were limited to 55% of box sidewall length for practical reasons. The effect of gaps was significant and produced a nonlinear reduction in box strength. Small boxes were more susceptible to gaps than larger boxes. Moving the gap closer to the corner increased its effect while increasing the number of gaps did not increase the effect. A modification to the McKee equation was produced that was capable of predicting the loss in strength due to gaps. The equation is novel in that is modifies a widely used equation and is the first such equation capable of handling multiple box sizes. This study also has practical implications for packaging designers who must contend with pallet gap. Chapter 2 explores the relationship between deckboard deflection and box compression strength. Testing found that reducing the stiffness of the deckboard decreases the compression strength of the box by 26.4%. The location of the box relative to the stringer also had varying effects on the box strength. A combination of deckboard stiffness and gaps produced mixed with results with gaps reducing the effect of stiffness. It was observed that lower stiffness deckboards not only deflect but also twist during compression. The torsion is suspected to have a significant influence on compression but further exploration is needed. The third chapter tests the effect of box flap length on box compression strength under various support conditions. Variables included four flap lengths, gaps between deckboards, low stiffness deckboards, column stacking and misaligned stacking. The results show that the box flaps can be reduced by 25% with no significant effect of box strength under any support condition tested. Furthermore, the box flap can be reduced by 50% with less than 10% loss in compression strength under all scenarios. These results have significant sustainability implication as 25% and 50% reduction in box flap reduce material usage by approximately 12% and 24%, respectively. In the fourth and final chapter, the theory of beam-on-elastic foundation is applied to deckboard bending and corrugated boxes. In this model the corrugated box acts and the foundation and the deckboard is the beam. Rotational stiffness, load bridging, and foundation stiffness changes required the development of novel testing solution and model development. The model was capable of predicting the distribution of force along the length sidewall but was not capable of predicting the ultimate strength of the box. The model developed in the study will be applicable in determining potential weakness in the unit load in addition to optimizing those that are over designed. These four chapters represent a considerable contribution of applicable research to a field that relied on outdated safety factors over thirty years. These safety factors often lead to costly over design in an industry where corrugated box and pallets volumes make event the smallest improvements highly beneficial. Furthermore, this research has opened the door for significant additional research that will undoubtedly provided even greater economic and sustainability benefits.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
Abstract TGTU is one of the most versatile units in sulphur complex that will help in achieving sulphur recovery up to 99.9% and reduce the SO2 emission to the atmosphere. This units usually consist of various equipment and piping which are typically made in carbon steel and stainless-steel metallurgy. The material of construction made of carbon steel are seriously getting impacted due to unpredictable upset from the upstream unit (SRU-Sulphur Recovery Unit). This upset is uncontrollable and will result in various damages to the carbon steel components in the form of fouling, pitting, thinning and cracking damage mechanism. Upgradation of carbon steel to stainless steel material will be capable to withstand various upset and heavy unit loads. This unit requires proper control on various process parameters such as pH, Ammonia Concentration, Caustic Strength, Type of Water, Temperature, TSS, SO2, H2S and Iron to prevent any corrosion issues. The corrosion issues in this unit will results in various consequences subject to health, safety, environmental, economic impact, and damage to company assets including reputation. The units required high attention subject to material selection, cost optimization, in-service inspection methodology and control over operating process parameters. This paper will describe all the factors in details that will help in mitigating the corrosion challenges in TGTU and provides the cost comparison subject carbon steel versus stainless steel material in this application.

Abstract:
In field operating environments, military units must ensure access to a critical water supply to maintain mission readiness. Increasing complexity of logistics and costs to transport water and climate change are driving the development and demonstration of water treatment units. The treatment unit described uses ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) mem-brane technologies with a disinfection step to treat low-strength graywater from shower facilities at Camp Shelby Joint Force Training Center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Samples were collected from human shower sampling events. During the demonstration, greater than 100,000 gal. of graywater were treated, supplied by two battalion training rotations over a 6-month period. Characterization of the source graywater continued throughout the system demonstration. Based on the literature, these are among the largest source-separated gray-water sampling events to date. The combined treatment train of UF/RO met all compliance metrics for all analytes of interest for potability and met nonpotable metrics except for special use cases in three states. Both the quality of the treated water and the effective volume gains from an 85% multiplier effect directly support DoD water sustainment goals for both installations and operational environments.

Abstract:
Fly ash is a by-product of coal combustion, made up of particles that are collected through various methods. This by-product has been used successfully as a partial Portland cement replacement in concrete, but the performance predictions of fly ash in concrete have been difficult to predict, especially at high fly ash replacement rates. This study focuses on comparing the performance of concrete with a variety of fly ash mixtures as well as the particle distribution and chemical makeup of fly ash. The slump, unit weight, compressive strength, and isothermal calorimetry tests were used to measure the performance of concrete at 0%, 20%, and 40% fly ash replacement levels. The particle distribution of fly ash was measured with an automated scanning electron microscope. Additionally, the major and minor oxides from the chemical makeup of fly ash were measured for each mixture and inputted into a table. The particle distribution and chemical makeup of fly ash were compared to the performance of slump, unit weight, compressive strength, isothermal calorimetry, and surface electrical resistivity.

Full text
Abstract:
Current practices in the pipeline industry require increased use of high pressure pipe and pipe fittings to meet expanding natural gas transportation requirements. A study of the current practices in the design and manufacture of pipe and pipe fittings (size on size tees, elbows, concentric reducers) in the range of 16 to 36 inch and with design pressures up to 3000 psi was needed. It was determined that yield strength is not significant to burst pressure or to fatigue, but tensile strength is significant to both. Ultimate tensile strength can be estimated on fittings of unknown origin by non-destructive hardness tests. Recommendations to users based on this study are included in this report. This study includes dimensional data from manufacturers and from fittings and pipe obtained from the Williams Transco unit stock. In addition this study includes comprehensive research of existing standards, linear and non-linear finite element analysis results and full-size instrumented fitting burst test data are included.

Full text
Abstract:
Advanced cementitious materials, commonly referred to as ultra-high performance concretes (UHPCs), are developing rapidly and show promise for civil infrastructure and protective construction applications. Structures exposed to blasts experience strain rates on the order of 102 s-1 or more. While a great deal of research has been published on the durability and the static properties of UHPC, there is less information on its dynamic properties. The purpose of this report is to (1) compile existing dynamic property data—including compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, and energy absorption—for six proprietary and research UHPCs and (2) implement a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) model for axisymmetric UHPC panels under blast loading as a means of comparing the UHPCs. Although simplified, the model allows identification of key material properties and promising materials for physical testing. Model results indicate that tensile strength has the greatest effect on panel deflection, with unit weight and elastic modulus having a moderate effect. CEMTECmultiscale® deflected least in the simulation. Lafarge Ductal®, a commonly available UHPC in North America, performed in the middle of the five UHPCs considered.

Abstract:
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Environmental and Social Safeguards Unit (ESG) is currently exploring how best to strengthen Country Safeguard Systems (CSS) while maintaining Bank and government accountability intended to ensure that investments do not result in adverse impacts to people or the environment. The objectives of this three-month consultancy are to assist the IDB's ESG Unit in scaling up efforts to strengthen country safeguard systems and promote harmonization of safeguard approaches and practices in the LAC region, consistent with international good practice. This report reviews the international context for strengthening and using country safeguard systems; summarizes IDB efforts and experience to date; and examines related developments in other multilateral development banks (MDBs). Recommendations are provided to position the IDB to be more effective in its efforts to help LAC member countries strengthen their safeguard systems and develop their capacity to address environmental and social issues in development projects. This report provides the basis for next steps in developing a strategy that would be reflected in ESG"s 2014 Business Plan.

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives. Rapid response systems address unexpected and unrecognized clinical deterioration on general hospital wards and aim to prevent cardiorespiratory arrests. These systems have an afferent limb (recognition and activation) and an efferent limb (response). Our main objectives were to determine the effectiveness of rapid response systems on patient safety and clinical outcomes and how rapid response systems can be implemented effectively. Methods. We searched PubMed and the Cochrane library for eligible systematic reviews and primary studies published from January 2018 through June 2023, supplemented by targeted gray literature searches. We included reviews and primary studies of rapid response systems reporting the incidence of cardiorespiratory arrest, hospital mortality, transition to higher level of care, serious adverse events related to clinical deterioration, or unintended consequences. Findings. We retrieved 867 citations, of which 23 articles were eligible for review (4 systematic reviews and 19 primary studies). Three categories of interventions were identified: implementation of a new system, modifications to the afferent limb, and modifications to the efferent limb. Based on systematic reviews and primary studies, rapid response systems may have a large impact in reducing in-hospital mortality (low strength of evidence for adult and pediatric populations) and an even greater impact in reducing the incidence of cardiorespiratory arrest on hospital general wards in adult populations (low strength of evidence), but the effect is unclear in pediatric populations (insufficient strength of evidence). Their impact on unanticipated intensive care unit (ICU) admission is unclear (insufficient strength of evidence for both populations). Modifications to the afferent and/or efferent limb were associated with a reduction in mortality and the incidence of cardiorespiratory arrest for adults (low strength of evidence) but the evidence was insufficient in pediatric populations. Serious adverse events (e.g., arrest soon after ICU arrival) were infrequently reported (insufficient strength of evidence for both adult and pediatric populations). One included systematic review of the unintended consequences of staffing models examined risks for ICU patients, but the strength of evidence was insufficient for both children and adults. Conclusions. Overall, rapid response systems may have a large beneficial effect on the outcomes of hospital mortality and the incidence of in-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest but the strength of the evidence is low due to methodological weaknesses of the studies. Innovations in afferent and efferent limb structures show promise for increased benefit.
