Abstract:
Recent research underscores the significance of meniscal extrusion in knee osteoarthritis progression. Centralization of the meniscus has emerged as a potential intervention, yet comprehensive literature on this is limited. This systematic review aims to synthesize evidence on meniscus centralization’s impact on extrusion and knee biomechanics. A search of PubMed Central and Scopus yielded 14 relevant articles until June 1, 2023. Included were 3 case series, 9 cadaveric studies, and 2 involving animals or patients. Biomechanical effects on both medial and lateral menisci were explored, alongside implications for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Findings suggest centralization may mitigate extrusion and improve knee biomechanics, potentially benefiting clinical outcomes. However, further high-quality studies are warranted to validate these observations and ascertain optimal centralization techniques.

Thompson, Charles. "'Diffusion against centralization' : centralization and its discontents in America, 1848-1860." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/16891/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores how American conservatives in the 1850s used centralization as a term and process to understand social change, sectional conflict, and political economy, but paradoxically used opposition to centralization tactically to expand economic networks, extend state capacity, and rein in the effects of Jacksonian democracy. Opposition to centralization might seem an inherently democratic language. But a diverse group of northerners sought to reclaim this language for their own purposes. Drawing from revolutionary warnings against democratic excess and contemporary fears of popular violence, they tried to redefine the people as the greatest centralizing threat. The transformation of France from democratic republic to authoritarian empire gave conservatives an opportunity to show that democracies inevitably allowed power to centralize. But centralization also had a geographic dimension, and conservatives in eastern metropolises often used the term to warn against the growing power of rival empire cities and long-distance trade. Anxieties about consolidating divided municipal governments and concentrating voting power in a majority northern electorate also found expression in critiques of centralization. Yet historians have also identified processes of centralization underway in the period, and conservatives engaged with these too. Reformers embraced stronger municipal governments, city boosters pushed to entrench their economic dominance over expanding hinterlands, and pro-compromise unionists urged the federal government to intervene in the sectional crisis. Conservatives often supported these changes, arguing centralization without further democratisation was a necessary step. When confronted with disunion, urban disorder, and economic growth, they often backed centring power both institutionally and geographically in response. Denouncing democracy and rival cities as centralizers only helped conservatives legitimise their own centralizing agenda. Exploring how conservatives used centralization therefore highlights a sometimes neglected conservative modernising agenda in the 1850s, one that used an Early Republican political language but anticipated postbellum administrative rationalisation and democratic retreat.

Abstract:
In this study, value of quality information and the eects of centralization are investigated for a reverse supply chain consisting of a remanufacturer and a collector. Used products are collected and inspected to classify them into quality groups, then they are remanufactured to meet the demand of remanufactured products. The supply of collected products and demand of remanufactured products are both price-sensitive. The uncertain quality of the collected products is revealed by an inspection process. Two quality classes are considered, and the cost of remanufacturing depends on the quality class. The main decisions are on acquisition fee for the returns, the selling price for remanufactured products, and the transfer prices of inspected products between the collector and the remanufacturer. For this environment, centralized and decentralized settings are considered and dierent models that dier in availability of quality information when the pricing decisions are made are built. We explore the value of advance quality information and eects of centralization on the optimal prices and profits via a computational study.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2011.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 84-85).<br>In this thesis, we propose and analyze a multi-server model that captures a performance trade-off between centralized and distributed processing. In our model, a fraction p of an available resource is deployed in a centralized manner (e.g., to serve a most-loaded station) while the remaining fraction 1 -p is allocated to local servers that can only serve requests addressed specifically to their respective stations. Using a fluid model approach, we demonstrate a surprising phase transition in the steady-state delay, as p changes: in the limit of a large number of stations, and when any amount of centralization is available (p > 0), the average queue length in steady state scales as log 1/1-p 1/1-[lambda] when the traffic intensity [lambda] goes to 1. This is exponentially smaller than the usual M/M/1-queue delay scaling of 1/1-[lambda], obtained when all resources are fully allocated to local stations (p = 0). This indicates a strong qualitative impact of even a small degree of centralization. We prove convergence to a fluid limit, and characterize both the transient and steady-state behavior of the finite system, in the limit as the number of stations N goes to infinity. We show that the sequence of queue-length processes converges to a unique fluid trajectory (over any finite time interval, as N --> [infinity]), and that this fluid trajectory converges to a unique invariant state vI, for which a simple closedform expression is obtained. We also show that the steady-state distribution of the N-server system concentrates on vI as N goes to infinity.<br>by Kuang Xu.<br>S.M.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis aims at analyzing the consequences of centralization policies in Russia and its impact on the quality of democracy in the country. Centralization is believed to strengthen states' political power by increasing the effectiveness of governance and proliferation of secession movements. However centralization is also very often associated with antidemocratic governance because it implies the limitation of local authorities' power which can lead to decrease of local official's responsiveness, people participation etc. Thus there should be taken into account many factors when assessing whether the centralization policy is necessary or not.

Somel, Gozde. "Centralization And Opposition In Mongol And Ottoman State Formations." Master's thesis, METU, 2008. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12609849/index.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mongol and the Ottoman leadership structures emerged in milieus where identities were changeable, mobility was high and the alliances were shifting. Chinggis Khan arose to degree of Khanate of entire Mongolia from an extremely marginal position in tribal politics and his experiences in this process provided him an anti-tribal political vision. He at the very beginning of his career formed the nucleus of his political power by his relationships and entourages. Later, he reorganized the clans and tribes, which submitted their loyalty to him around those principal participants in his army of conquest. Osman Bey made successful conquests thanks to the advantageous geographical position of his principality, became famous in a short time and managed to attract various elements of complex social structure of the Byzantine frontiers to him. He did not involve in a harsh struggle for leadership. Instead of monopolization of power, he favored sharing of it with his companions in arms. Mongols, after monopolizing power in the steppes devoted their energies to frontier conquests. However, during Chinggis Khan&rsquo<br>s reign, the Mongols saw the centre of the authority there. Their relation with the societies outside the Mongolia was indirect. Ottomans on the other hand, built up their administrative apparatus in the conquered territories. The Ottomans created a new bureaucratic group which did not have a power base besides the posts in Ottoman state and placed them to the centre of administration. Those posts did not have any hereditary dimension. The Mongols, contrary to the Ottomans, turned the state offices to hereditary posts and in time they began to distribute peoples, armies, lands and resources throughout the empire as appanages to state officers. Therefore, the Chinggisids created a new aristocracy who had the power in their hands to shake the centralist order of Chinggis Khan.

Croarken, Mary G. "The centralization of scientific computation in Britain, 1925-1955." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1985. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/67092/.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the organization of scientific computation in Britain over the period 1925-1955. At the beginning of the twentieth century most scientific computation was performed by individuals using logarithm tables and slide rules. By the late 1920s desk calculators and accounting machines had become common computing tools. This thesis looks at the adoption of mechanized computing methods by scientists and traces the centralization of computing effort which subsequently took place. Chapter 1 identifies nine criteria which are used to analyse the individual computing centres discussed in the thesis, and form a basis for the study. Chapter 1 also looks at scientific computation at the beginning of the twentieth century and gives relevant background information for the remainder of the thesis. The bulk of the thesis, chapters 2 to 6, describe the computing centres which emerged during 1925-1955. The description begins by looking at L.J. Comrie's work at the Nautical Almanac Office in the late 1920s and goes on to consider the Scientific Computing Service, the Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory, the Admiralty Cotnputing Service and the NPL Mathematics Division. The NPL Mathematics Division is of particular importance as it was set up, in 1945, to act as a national computing centre and represents the pinnacle of centralized computing in Britain. Similar events in the United States and Europe are described in chapter 7 and are compared and contrasted with centralized computation in Britain. The Unesco International Computation Centre is also described in chapter 7 and some conclusions about the way in which computation in Britain was centralized are given.

Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management; and, (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering; in conjunction with the Leaders for Manufacturing Program at MIT, 2004.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 74-75).<br>Ford is moving from decentralized control of manufacturing processes to centralized control. Prior to this centralization effort, product development occurred as a central function, but individual plants were largely allowed to select vendors, machine tools, suppliers, etc. for production without central oversight (other than accounting and cost control). Ford has now formed a group, manufacturing engineering, within powertrain operations (PTO), as well as analogous groups in other business units, to standardize and centralize these functions for the production of engines and transmissions. To date, the group has formally centralized machine design and purchasing with some success and a fair amount of upheaval in the daily tasks of on- site launch team members. Two technical aspects of this shift are examined, beginning with higher communication costs. These costs are the time and effort spent relaying information to understand and select a course of action for a production network rather than a course of action for a single plant. Communication costs for Ford are shown to increase with the number of plants or platforms involved in a product or process decision. After evaluating these delays, methods to improve communication costs by modifying individual responsibilities as well as methods used by other centralized manufacturers are discussed. In addition to modifying communication across the production network, common production processes also allow for flexible production within the network. Once plants share common equipment and processes they can produce the same products. A simple model is used to demonstrate that the network becomes more flexible and opportunities arise to improve the overall supply chain for engine production.<br>(cont.) The first order effects of this flexibility are shown to be increased utilization and fewer stockouts. However, second order effects of production scheduling and inventory management problems arise because the broader supply chain has not yet been modified to incorporate plant floor flexibility. Suggested improvements to address these second order effects are also discussed.<br>by Adam M. Kornick.<br>S.M.<br>M.B.A.

Abstract:
Abstract Several reasons can contribute to poor cementation; however, proper casing centralization can lead to uniform mud displacement with cement and can mitigate some of the cementation problems. Cementing companies design their casing centralizations based on simulators, but they have never been able to validate quantitatively how their planned centralization compares to the actual, the only comparison made in the past was based on the overall cement quality measured by the cement evaluation tools. This can be reflective of the centralization program in some instances; however, in others, attributing quality to centralization can be misjudged or centralization may be mixed with other factors. Not being able to directly quantify and evaluate each element in the casing and cementation program makes it challenging to improve or acknowledge each design. Relating the achieved cement quality to casing centralization gives inconsistent results. In many instances poor cement behind casing is because of other factors such as spacer design, fluid rheology, formation fluids, borehole geometry, etc., and is not only due to poor casing centralization. Casing eccentricity or casing touching outer casing/formation is always observed on cement evaluation imaging logs, as they typically appear in a form of galaxy pattern. However, these galaxy patterns can only be considered as a qualitative indication of the casing being close to a casing or to a formation, as it will be shown later in the paper that galaxy pattern start to show on cement evaluation images when casing centralization is below 60%. The new generation of ultrasonic flexural measurement tools can evaluate cement and at the same time provide third interface echo (TIE) measurement over 360°. The TIE measurement can evaluate casing centralization by evaluating the time between the first casing reflection (mud-casing interface) and the third interface reflection (cement formation interface) (Δt). When all the Δt values across all azimuths are equal, it is an indication of casing being 100% centered, and when Δt is 0 or small (casing touching formation) from any direction then casing is 0% centered. This Δt can also be converted to pseudo annulus thickness by assuming a velocity for the material behind the casing. For an operator to improve their field casing cementation, a campaign was performed for evaluating casing centralization in multiple casing sizes for different well trajectories to set benchmark for future centralization improvements. Each casing had different centralizer size and different patterns.

Abstract:
Wellbore irregularities can cause excessive mechanical friction forces while attempting to land casing strings, and unfavorable conditions for primary cementing of casing strings. In an eccentric annulus, the fluid velocity is largest in the wide section of the annulus. The drilling fluid on the narrow side of the annulus may be immobilized due to the lower wall shear stress in this section of the annulus. A direct consequence for the primary cementing operation is the potential for having residual drilling fluid between casing and formation, and thereby failing to achieve zonal isolation and adequate mechanical support for the casing. Casing strings are usually fitted with centralizers at predetermined intervals in order to achieve a minimum degree of centralization in the wellbore and efficient fluid displacement during primary cementing. Centralizer distribution and design are based on assumptions of regular wellbore geometries and often analytical models for estimating lateral casing string displacement in the well. The latter assumption implies that bending moments are not transmitted across centralizers, and may lead to nonconservative centralizer designs. To investigate the effect of irregularity and casing string stiffness, we consider a stiff string model that approximates the casing string as finite beam elements with bending and axial degrees of freedom at each end, thereby accounting for transmission of both axial and bending stresses between elements. In this work, we evaluate wellbore irregularity by inspecting a six-arm caliper log and estimate the cross-sectional shape of the wellbore by cubic spline interpolation between the arms of the caliper tool. Analyses of the caliper logs indicate that long, continuous strecthes conform to the nominal wellbore size, and that local hole enlargements may be significant. Irregularities are found to be largely symmetric about the wellbore axis, although some examples exhibit elliptic or oval shapes that may conform with local in-situ stress directions. We detail the stiff string model assumptions and implementation for evaluating casing centralization, and demonstrate the approach on model irregularities and on selected caliper log sections. Calculations suggest that bow spring centralizers result in better casing centralization in vertical parts of the wellbore, while large bow spring compression favour rigid centralizers in more inclined parts of the well. Axial compression close to the bottom of the wellbore section leads to a geometric softening effect of the casing, which affects transverse displacement and centralization between centralizers. Higher in the well where the casing is in tension, a geometric stiffening effect reduces transverse displacement. In proximity of washed out and irregular sections, centralization is affected both by placement of the centralizers and a reduction in the restoring capability of bow spring centralizers.

Abstract:
Currently in Canada, spent fuel produced from Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) is in the interim storage all across the country. It is Canada’s long-term strategy to have a national geologic repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel for CANada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors. The initial problem is to identify a means to centralize Canada’s spent nuclear fuel. The objective of this paper is to present a solution for the transportation issues that surround centralizing the waste. This paper reviews three major components of managing and the transporting of high-level nuclear waste: 1) site selection, 2) containment and 3) the proposed transportation method. The site has been selected based upon several factors including proximity to railways and highways. These factors play an important role in the site-selection process since the location must be accessible and ideally to be far from communities. For the containment of the spent fuel during transportation, a copper-shell container with a steel structural infrastructure was selected based on good thermal, structural, and corrosion resistance properties has been designed. Rail has been selected as the method of transporting the container due to both the potential to accommodate several containers at once and the extensive railway system in Canada.
