Abstract:
My poetry is about real stories: poverty, love, politics, past pains and healing. I try to follow the example of Amiri Baraka who says his poetry is whatever he thinks he is, that he makes poetry with “what can be saved out the garbage of our lives”. My collection also preserves and embraces demotic language, which is also a part of who I am. I am influenced by Baraka’s and Ike Muila’s use of demotics, and the way that poets such as Antonio Jacinto, Costa Andrade and Mafika Gwala tackle political matters in a colourful and powerful way. I have also been inspired by ancient Chinese poets to explore love and eroticism, particularly how it plays out in the eyes of my people.

Abstract:
Butterfly Bones is a lyrical sequence of poetry and prose poems organised to trace a rhythmical, emotional pattern of experience. In its subject matter, the sequence presents an implied personal narrative recording the author's grief in the ten months following her mother's death in January 2011. It presents brief, vivid scenes from the poet's daily life in a rural village outside Grahamstown, and observations of creatures and her natural surroundings, which serve as a counterpoint to her grief. It can also be read as a meditation on writing, solitude and the possibilities of poetry.

Abstract:
Shallow Bones is a creative thesis examining the culture of persecution within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints alongside my own story of persecution as a gay man. The religion rose through persecution as Joseph Smith, the prophet of the church, faced harassment and personal attacks from outsiders. His assassination spurred devote followers to move west, away from their persecutors. Setting up in the Utah territory, early Mormons feared invasions to the point that they murdered pioneers passing through Mountain Meadows. Murderers hid their wrongdoing, and the religion has institutionalized a pattern of persecution—blaming others for attacks while denying responsibility for choices that harm others. The recent suicide of Jack Reese, a gay teenager in Northern Utah, has shown how some in the religion continue to persecute others while burying the guilt for these acts. My own story follows my own experience of persecution within the church. Self-hatred came from lessons I learned as a child, both within the church and from my families. I almost attempted suicide, but I decided to reach out for help. Unlike Jack Reese’s family, my family worked towards acceptance. Although the culture around pushed me towards despair, I learned how to accept myself. These historical and personal threads within the creative thesis come together to show that Utah’s violent history continues to push persecution onto people every day; however, I was able to find a way to love myself while surrounded by ongoing hatred. Even when the predominant culture actively discriminates against a group, people have hope to escape the cycle of persecution.

Abstract:
This paper reports the process of production and assessment of rigid polyurethane foam for synthetic bone surrogates. Synthetic bones are currently being used for orthopaedic surgical training and lower limb trauma evaluation. Previous studies have shown that synthetic bones made of rigid polyurethane are able to simulate bone’s mechanical response. In this study, two polyurethane formulations were tested under compression and impact conditions. Results of these tests were compared with data reported in current literature sources for cancellous bone tissue. Comparison between results and reported data, showed that none of the polyurethane foams produced had significant resemblance to cancellous bone properties. Improvements in terms of formulation and manufacturing procedures of polyurethane shall be made in order to acquire a higher mechanical performance.

Abstract:
Finite element models have been widely employed in an effort to quantify the stress and strain distribution around human bones as well as implanted prostheses and to explore the influence of these distributions on their long-term stability. In order to provide meaningful predictions, such models must contain an appropriate reflection of mechanical properties. Detailed geometrical and density information is now readily available from CT scanning. However, there are still many complications regarding patient-specific geometrical differences and bone dynamic behavior in-vivo. Experimental studies on animal bones, due to their convenience and accessibility, have always played a key role in simulating human bone behavior. In current study, a modal experiment has been done on an ox femoral and tibial bones and the results have been compared with those reported from human bones. Results have been obtained in terms of natural frequencies of medio-lateral bending mode shapes and damping ratios, and compared with those obtained by some previous studies. The results suggest similar pattern in modal behavior, but considerable difference between natural frequencies due to geometrical differences. To consider structural damping ratios, due to existence of moisture and marrow in bone in-vivo, samples have been obtained few hours post-mortem and the ratio has been extracted for each natural frequency. Finally, conclusions have been made on the similarity of the models and how to improve the FE models of human tibial and femoral components.

Abstract:
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic bone disorder which is typically characterized by brittle bones with frequent fractures. It is also known as brittle bone disease. Surgical procedure is one of the ways adopted by clinicians for the management of OI. In recent years, it has however become clear that physical activity is equally important for managing OI in both children and adults. Exogenous mechanical stimulation e.g. prophylactic exercises may be useful in improving the bone mass and strength of OI bones as loading-induced mechanical components e.g. normal strain and canalicular fluid flow stimulate remodeling activities. Several studies have characterized the strain environment in OI bones, whereas, very few studies attempted to characterize the canalicular fluid flow. In the present study, we anticipate that canalicular fluid flow reduces in OI bone as compared to healthy bone under physiological loading. This work accordingly computes the canalicular fluid distribution in the single osteon model of OI and control/normal bones subjected to normal physiological loadings. A transversely isotropic poroelastic model of osteon is developed. Loading is applied in accordance with gait cycles reported for OI and healthy bones. Fluid distribution patterns computed for OI and healthy bones are compared at different time-points of stance phase of the gait cycle. A significant reduction in fluid flow is observed in case of OI bone as compared to healthy bone. This clearly indicates that improvements in physical activities or exercises can be designed to enhance the level of canalicular fluid flow to initiate possible osteogenic activities and the bone.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Bones experience mechanical loads on a daily basis. It is difficult to obtain biomechanical performances in-vivo measurements. When implants are integrated with bones after surgery, especially in aged individuals, their osseointegration can compromise the structural integrity of bones; for this reason, it is important to monitor the evolution of the mechanical properties of bones with some in-vivo diagnostic technique. In this study, we propose to integrate optical microsensing devices into bones. To simulate the working principle, a sensor is integrated with a 3-D printed bone. The sensing element is a dye-doped optical microlaser based on the morphology dependent resonance (MDR) shifts also called the whispering gallery mode phenomenon (WGM). When the microlaser is excited by a light source, the fluorescence from the dye couples with the optical resonances. These optical resonances are very sensitive to any perturbation of the microlasers’s morphology. Therefore, the local strain variation of the bone can be related to the shift of the optical resonances. This in-vivo technique monitors the biomechanical performance of bones with implants and prosthetics.

In ASME 2013 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2013-63822.

Full text
Abstract:
Dental implants are a valuable, safe and predictable solution for patients suffering from tooth loss. The implant shape plays a great role in the success of dental implant, due to its effect on stress distribution in the surrounding bones. Therefore, optimizing some of implant shape parameters may improve stress distribution and consequently may lead to an increase in implant success rate. In this study, the 3D finite element analysis is used to investigate the influence of the number of threads in the neck of the implant on the implant-cortical bone interface stresses. The stress distribution along the implant-bone interface and their displacements were determined using ABAQUS/CAE 6.10 software. Overall, the stress was highest in the cortical bone at the neck of implant and lowest in the cancellous bone regardless of the number of threads in contact with cortical bone. On the other hand, reducing the number of threads in the neck resulted in a decrease in the developed stresses in both types of bones. The developed stresses around the bones decreased gradually in cortical bones and dramatically in cancellous bones when the number of threads decreased in the neck of implant. The stress reduction between the smooth neck to the fully threaded neck decreased the developed stresses by 24% in the cortical bone. However, due to improve the implant osseointegration, it is recommended to keep one or two threads in the cortical bone.

Full text
Abstract:
An improved method for manufacturing prosthetic bones is examined. We are developing a new improved method for designing and manufacturing prosthetic bones that have a porous interior core covered by a solid outer shell, more closely matching the morphology of natural bone. The new method is compatible with a wide variety of materials, including polymers, metals, composites, and biodegradable scaffold materials. Use of biodegradable scaffold material holds the potential for eventual bone regeneration within and throughout the prosthesis. Regardless of the material selection, this improved type of prosthesis is expected to more closely mimic the overall material and structural properties of natural bone, including shape, strength, weight, and weight distribution. By fabricating prosthetic bones that duplicate the material and structural properties of natural bone, implants could be made to operate as precision replacements, feeling and functioning exactly like natural bone. In addition to improving patient comfort, these new prostheses are expected to reduce the occurrence of unnatural secondary wear patterns caused by current style prosthetic bones that function in unnatural fashions due to their non-matching material and structural properties.

Full text
Abstract:
Direct measurements of cortical bone material properties are difficult to achieve in rodent long bones due to the inherently small dimensions and difficulties in machining standard test specimen geometries [1]. Bone tissue properties in nearly all rodent studies are thus limited to estimates from flexural tests of long bone diaphyses. In addition to the inaccuracies imposed by the bending stress state itself, these material property estimates are further confounded by the non-uniform geometry of long bones along the diaphyseal length. The goal of this work was to develop a series of techniques to improve the accuracy and precision of material property measurements in rodent long bones, with explicit mathematical correction for geometrical complexity and multiple measurements from individual bones. In combination, these techniques provide a pragmatic serial test routine for collecting multiple direct measurements of cortical tissue elastic modulus and strength, with a potential for improving sensitivity and statistical power in skeletal studies using rodents.

Abstract:
Structural and biomechanical parameters of Edible Frog, Pelophylax esculentus (Linnaeus, 1758), limb bones, namely, mass, linear dimensions, parameters of the shaft ’s cross-sectional shape (cross-sectional area, moments of inertia, radiuses of inertia) were investigated. Some coeffi cients were also estimated: diameters ratio (df/ds), cross-sectional index (ik), principal moments of inertia ratio (Imax/Imin). Coeffi cients of variation of linear dimensions (11.9–20.0 %) and relative bone mass (22–35 %) were established. Moments of inertia of various bones are more variable (CV = 41.67–56.35 %) in relation to radii of inertia (CV = 9.68–14.67 %). Shaft ’s cross-sectional shape is invariable in all cases. However, there is high individual variability of structural and biomechanical parameters of P. esculentus limb bones. Variability of parameters was limited by the certain range.We suggest the presence of stable norm in bone structure. Stylopodium bones have the primary biomechanical function among the elements of limb skeleton, because their parameters most clearly responsiveto changes in body mass.

Abstract:
As Americans become increasingly health conscious, they have increased their consumptionof boneless white and skinless poultry meat. To the poultry industry, accurate detection of bonefragments and other hazards in de-boned poultry meat is important to ensure food quality andsafety for consumers. X-ray imaging is widely used for internal material inspection. However,traditional x-ray technology has limited success with high false-detection errors mainly becauseof its inability to consistently recognize bone fragments in meat of uneven thickness. Today’srapid grow-out practices yield chicken bones that are less calcified. Bone fragments under x-rayshave low contrast from meat. In addition, the x-ray energy reaching the image detector varieswith the uneven meat thickness. Differences in x-ray absorption due to the unevenness inevitablyproduce false patterns in x-ray images and make it hard to distinguish between hazardousinclusions and normal meat patterns even by human visual inspection from the images.Consequently, the false patterns become camouflage under x-ray absorptions of variant meatthickness in physics, which remains a major limitation to detecting hazardous materials byprocessing x-ray images alone.Under the support of BARD, USDA, and US Poultry industries, we have aimed todeveloping a new technology that uses combined x-ray and laser imaging to detect bonefragments in de-boned poultry. The technique employs the synergism of sensors of differentprinciples and has overcome the deficiency of x-rays in physics of letting x-rays work alone inbone fragment detection. X-rays in conjunction of laser-based imaging was used to eliminatefalse patterns and provide higher sensitivity and accuracy to detect hazardous objects in the meatfor poultry processing lines.Through intensive research, we have met all the objectives we proposed during the researchperiod. Comprehensive experiments have proved the concept and demonstrated that the methodhas been capable of detecting frequent hard-to-detect bone fragments including fan bones andfractured rib and pulley bone pieces (but not cartilage yet) regardless of their locations anduneven meat thickness without being affected by skin, fat, and blood clots or blood vines.

Abstract:
Purpose – The rostrum of a paddlefish provides hydrodynamic stability during feeding process in addition to detect the food using receptors that are randomly distributed in the rostrum. The exterior tissue of the rostrum covers the cartilage that surrounds the bones forming interlocking star shaped bones. Design/methodology/approach – The aim of this work is to assess the mechanical behavior of four finite element models varying the type of formulation as follows: linear-reduced integration, linear-full integration, quadratic-reduced integration and quadratic-full integration. Also presented is the load transfer mechanisms of the bone structure of the rostrum. Findings – Conclusions are based on comparison among the four models. There is no significant difference between integration orders for similar type of elements. Quadratic-reduced integration formulation resulted in lower structural stiffness compared with linear formulation as seen by higher displacements and stresses than using linearly formulated elements. It is concluded that second-order elements with reduced integration and can model accurately stress concentrations and distributions without over stiffening their general response. Originality/value – The use of advanced computational mechanics techniques to analyze the complex geometry and components of the paddlefish rostrum provides a viable avenue to gain fundamental understanding of the proper finite element formulation needed to successfully obtain the system behavior and hot spot locations.
