Abstract:
This paper describes mobile robotic systems known as Active Cord Mechanisms (ACMs). The systems have articulated bodies composed of serially connected units that can actively bend and stretch. One such example of a mobile ACM is the Slim Slime-I. It is composed of a series of interconnected pneumatic 3D modules. The 3D module is thus termed because of its three degrees of freedom: pitch, yaw and stretch. Furthermore, each module contains a variety of features: an air pressure distribution mechanism to reduce the amount of tubes contained, a pneumatic drive system with a pair of solenoid valves to save energy, a bellows drive system with buckling prevention, a shell mechanism with a displacement limit, and a photo sensor to record displacement and generate a restoring force.

Abstract:
Internet of Things cybersecurity is gaining attention as the number of devices installed in IoT environments is exponentially increasing while the number of attacks successfully addressed to these devices are also proliferating. Security concerns have, however, been mainly addressed to service availability and information integrity and confidentiality. Code integrity, on the other hand, is not receiving proper attention, mainly because of the limited resources of these devices, thus preventing the implementation of advanced protection mechanisms. This situation calls for further research on how traditional mechanisms for code integrity can be adapted to IoT devices. This work presents a mechanism for code integrity in IoT devices based on a virtual-machine approach. A proof-of-concept virtual machine is presented, specially designed for providing code integrity during firmware updates. The proposed approach has been experimentally validated in terms of resource consumption among the most-widespread micro-controller units. The obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of this robust mechanism for code integrity.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references.
AAA+ molecular machines power myriad cellular processes including protein degradation, microtubule severing, membrane fusion, and initiation of DNA replication. Protein quality control in all organisms involves deployment of ATP-dependent proteases, consisting of hexameric AAA+ rings that unfold and translocate specific substrates into an associated peptidase barrel. Adaptor proteins assist in recognition and degradation of certain substrates, but how enzyme-adaptor pairs ensure proper substrate selection is incompletely understood. In this thesis I focus on the delivery mechanism employed by the bacterial adaptor protein CIpS. The CIpS adaptor collaborates with the AAA+ CIpAP protease to recognize and degrade N-end rule substrates. CIpS binds the substrate's N-degron and assembles into a high-affinity CIpS-substrate-CIpA complex, but how the N-degron is transferred from CIpS to the axial pore of the AAA+ CIpA unfoldase to initiate degradation is not known. Here, we demonstrate that the unstructured N-terminal extension (NTE) of CIpS enters the CIpA processing pore in the active ternary complex and that CIpA engagement of the CIpS NTE is crucial for CIpS-mediated substrate delivery. In addition, I report evidence that CIpA engagement of the CIpS NTE drives structural rearrangements in CIpS important for N-end rule substrate delivery. Furthermore, our preliminary experiments suggest that CIpS is able to resist degradation by CIpAP due to a combination of a high local stability and a challenging translocation sequence at the junction of the NTE and folded core domain. I propose a model in which CIpA remodels CIpS by translocating the NTE, triggering delivery of the N-end rule substrate. Similar mechanisms may be employed by other AAA+ enzymes that collaborate with adaptor proteins to remodel/disassemble substrates without destroying them by degradation.

Abstract:
Amongst the objectives of the EU's Green Rotorcraft programme is the development of a functional and airworthy Active Gurney Flap (AGF) for a full-scale helicopter rotor blade. Interest in the development of this 'smart adaptive rotor blade' technology lies in its potential to provide a number of aerodynamic benefits, which would in turn translate into a reduction in fuel consumption and noise levels. With a technical specification informed by helicopter manufacturer Agusta Westland as a starting point, the AGF concept developed emerged from the application of a design methodology consisting of an initial concept generation phase and a subsequent selection process based on a series of problem-specific qualitative and quantitative performance criteria. This methodology resulted in a novel AGF concept design where the use of flexural pivots was favoured over bearing-type joints. As a first step towards full validation of both the concept design and the theoretical aerodynamic benefits of the AGF, a baseline design of the mechanism was successfully tested both in a fatigue rig and in a 2D wind tunnel environment at flight-representative deployment schedules. This baseline design was then reengineered with a view to making it fit for flight test. However, analysis of the flight test baseline design under full in-flight loading and blade deformations revealed that the stresses arising in the flexures exceeded the allowable limits. In order to overcome this problem, two complementary alternatives were investigated. Initially, a generic 2D and 3D shape optimisation of leaf-type crossed flexure pivot springs was carried out considering the pivots as individual isolated elements. This route produced important novel results in the field of crossed flexure pivots and proved that there is great scope for stress reduction through shape optimisation. Furthermore, a parametric optimisation of the AGF mechanism as a whole was performed, where the effect of a range of topological parameters was investigated. This second approach resulted in very significant stress reductions" sufficient so as to conclude that the proposed AGF concept has potential to become an airworthy design, although further work is needed to achieve a sufficiently mature technology readiness level.

Abstract:
In the emerging field of origami engineering, it is important to investigate ways to achieve large deformations to enable significant shape transformations. One way to achieve this is through the use of bistable mechanisms. The goal in this research is to investigate the feasibility and design of a compliant bistable mechanism that is actuated by magneto active elastomer (MAE) material. The MAE material has magnetic particles embedded in the material that are aligned during the curing process. When exposed to an external field, the material deforms to align the embedded particles with the field. We investigate actuation of the MAE material through the development of finite element analysis (FEA) models to predict the magnetic field required to snap the device from its first stable position to its second for various geometries and field strengths. The FEA model also predicts the displacement of the center of the mechanism as it moves from one position to the other to determine if the device is in fact bistable. These results help show the relationship between the substrate properties and the bistability of the device. Experimental results validate the FEA models and demonstrate the functionality of active materials to be used as actuators for such devices and applications of origami engineering.

Full text
Abstract:
We show that inflation expectations are heterogeneous and depend on past individual experiences. We propose a diagnostic expectations-augmented Kalman filter to represent consumers’ heterogeneous inflation expectations-formation process, where heterogeneity comes from an anchoring-to-the-past mechanism. We estimate the diagnosticity parameter that governs the inflation expectations-formation process and show that the model can replicate systematic differences in inflation expectations across cohorts in the US. We introduce this mechanism into a New Keynesian model and find that heterogeneous expectations anchor aggregate responses to the agents’ memory, making shocks more persistent. Central banks should be more active to prevent agents from remembering current shocks far into the future.

Full text
Abstract:
Studying earthquakes in Baffin Bay and the surrounding regions is challenging. There is no knowledge of earthquake activity in this region prior to 1933 when a moment magnitude (MW) 7.4 earthquake occurred in Baffin Bay. With improved instrumentation, increased seismograph coverage in the north, and modern analysis techniques, knowledge and understanding of earthquakes in the Baffin region is improving. Active seismic zones include Baffin Bay, the east coast of Baffin Island, and the Labrador Sea, separated by areas of low seismicity. Focal-mechanism solutions show a mix of faulting styles, predominantly strike-slip and thrust. Regional stress-axes orientations show more consistency, which suggests that activity is occurring on previously existing structures in response to the current stress field. There is little correlation between earthquake epicentres in Baffin Bay and mapped structures. Glacial isostatic adjustment may be a triggering mechanism for earthquakes in the Baffin region, but modelling efforts have yielded equivocal results.

Full text
Abstract:
High temperature stress is of major concern to turkey producers in Israel and the United States. The decline in the rate of egg production at high environmental temperature is well recognized, but the neuroendocrinological basis is not understood. Our objectives were: 1) to characterize the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis involvement in the mechanism(s) underlying the detrimental effect of heat stress on reproduction, and 2) to establish procedures that alleviate the damaging effect of heat stress on reproduction. Heat stress (40oC, Israel; 32oC, U.S.) caused significant reduction in egg production, which was restored by VIP immunoneutralization. The decline in egg production did not appear to be entirely related to the expression of incubation behavior due to the rise in circulating PRL in stressed birds. Heat stress was found to increase circulating PRL in ovariectomized turkeys independent of the reproductive stage. Active immunization against VIP was shown for the first time to up-regulate LHb and FSHb subunit mRNA contents. These findings taken together with the results that the heat stress-induced decline in egg production may not be dependent upon the reproductive stage, lead to the suggestion that the detrimental effect of heat stress on reproductive performance may be in part mediated by VIP acting directly on the GnRH/gonadotropin system. Inhibin (INH) immunoneutralization has been shown to enhance FSH secretion and induces ovulation in mammals. It is hypothesized that immunization of heat-stressed turkeys against INH will increase levels of circulating FSH and the number of preovulating follicles which leads to improved reproductive performance. We have cloned and expressed turkey INH-a and INH-bA. Active immunization of turkey hens with rtINH-a increased pituitary FSH-b subunit mRNA and the number of non-graded preovulatory yellow follicles, but no significant increase in egg production was observed.

Abstract:
Agrobacteriumtumefaciensmediates genetic transformation of plants. The possibility of exchanging the natural genes for other DNA has led to Agrobacterium’s emergence as the primary vector for genetic modification of plants. The similarity among eukaryotic mechanisms of nuclear import also suggests use of its active elements as media for non-viral genetic therapy in animals. These considerations motivate the present study of the process that carries DNA of bacterial origin into the host nucleus. The infective pathway of Agrobacterium involves excision of a single-stranded DNA molecule (T-strand) from the bacterial tumor-inducing plasmid. This transferred DNA (T-DNA) travels to the host cell cytoplasm along with two virulence proteins, VirD2 and VirE2, through a specific bacteriumplant channel(s). Little is known about the precise structure and composition of the resulting complex within the host cell and even less is known about the mechanism of its nuclear import and integration into the host cell genome. In the present proposal we combined the expertise of the US and Israeli labs and revealed many of the biophysical and biological properties of the genetic transformation process, thus enhancing our understanding of the processes leading to nuclear import and integration of the Agrobacterium T-DNA. Specifically, we sought to: I. Elucidate the interaction of the T-strand with its chaperones. II. Analyzing the three-dimensional structure of the T-complex and its chaperones in vitro. III. Analyze kinetics of T-complex formation and T-complex nuclear import. During the past three years we accomplished our goals and made the following major discoveries: (1) Resolved the VirE2-ssDNA three-dimensional structure. (2) Characterized VirE2-ssDNA assembly and aggregation, along with regulation by VirE1. (3) Studied VirE2-ssDNA nuclear import by electron tomography. (4) Showed that T-DNA integrates via double-stranded (ds) intermediates. (5) Identified that Arabidopsis Ku80 interacts with dsT-DNA intermediates and is essential for T-DNA integration. (6) Found a role of targeted proteolysis in T-DNA uncoating. Our research provide significant physical, molecular, and structural insights into the Tcomplex structure and composition, the effect of host receptors on its nuclear import, the mechanism of T-DNA nuclear import, proteolysis and integration in host cells. Understanding the mechanical and molecular basis for T-DNA nuclear import and integration is an essential key for the development of new strategies for genetic transformation of recalcitrant plant species. Thus, the knowledge gained in this study can potentially be applied to enhance the transformation process by interfering with key steps of the transformation process (i.e. nuclear import, proteolysis and integration). Finally, in addition to the study of Agrobacterium-host interaction, our research also revealed some fundamental insights into basic cellular mechanisms of nuclear import, targeted proteolysis, protein-DNA interactions and DNA repair.
