Abstract:
The progression of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, leading to structural abnormalities and improper valve function. The focus of the present study was to relate aortic valve leaflet axial curvature changes as a function of elastin degradation, which has been associated with CAVD. Circumferential rectangular strips (L × W = 10 × 2.5 mm) of normal and elastin-degraded (via enzymatic digestion) porcine AV leaflets were subjected to cyclic flexure (1 Hz). A significant increase in mean curvature (p < 0.05) was found in elastin-degraded leaflet specimens in comparison to un-degraded controls at both the semi-constrained (50% of maximum flexed state during specimen bending and straightening events) and fully-constrained (maximally-flexed) states. This significance did not occur in all three flexed configurations when measurements were performed using either minimum or maximum curvature. Moreover, the mean curvature increase in the elastin-degraded leaflets was most pronounced at the instance of maximum flexure, compared to un-degraded controls. We conclude that the mean axial curvature metric can detect distinct spatial changes in aortic valve ECM arising from the loss in bulk content and/or structure of elastin, particularly when there is a high degree of tissue bending. Therefore, the instance of maximum leaflet flexure during the cardiac cycle could be targeted for mean curvature measurements and serve as a potential biomarker for elastin degradation in early CAVD remodeling.

Abstract:
A case of trigger index finger is reported. The diagnosis was made in the neonatal intensive care unit. The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) was locked in a flexed position. A nodular thickening of the flexor tendon was felt at the A2 pulley level. Surgery revealed thickening of both the A2 pulley and the radial slip of the flexor superficialis tendon. Division of the A2 pulley released the PIP joint locking.

Abstract:
The current study tested the hypothesis that voluntary activation during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) conditionally depends on sex and joint action. Twenty-eight healthy adults (14 of each sex) performed knee extensor MVC and plantar flexor MVC at extended and flexed knee positions. Voluntary activation during MVC was assessed using a twitch interpolation technique. The voluntary activation during plantar flexor MVC at the extended knee position was significantly lower (P = 0.020, 95% confidence interval 1.4 to 14.6, Cohen’s d for between-subject design = 0.94) in women (88.3% ± 10.0%) than in men (96.2% ± 6.6%). In contrast, no significant sex differences were shown in the voluntary activation during knee extensor MVC (93.7% ± 5.9% (women) vs. 95.0% ± 3.9% (men)) and during plantar flexor MVC at the flexed knee position (90.4% ± 12.2% (women) vs. 96.8% ± 5.6% (men)). The voluntary activation during knee extensor MVC was significantly higher (P = 0.001, 95% confidence interval 2.1 to 8.8, Cohen’s d for within-subject design = 0.69) than that during plantar flexor MVC at the extended knee position in women, whereas the corresponding difference was not observed in men. The results revealed that the existence of sex difference in the voluntary activation during MVC depends on joint action and joint angle.

Abstract:
SUMMARY Objective: Cracks in amalgam-filled teeth may be related to amalgam expansion. This study measured cuspal flexure and used finite element analysis to assess associated stress levels in amalgam-filled teeth. Methods and Materials: External surfaces of 18 extracted molars were scanned in three dimensions. Nine molars were restored with mesio-occluso-distal amalgam fillings; the other teeth were left intact as controls. All teeth were stored in saline and scanned after two, four, and eight weeks. Cuspal flexure and restoration expansion were determined by calculating the difference between scanned surfaces. Stresses in a flexed tooth were calculated using finite element analysis. Results: Cusps of amalgam-filled teeth flexed outward approximately 3 μm, and restoration surfaces expanded 4 to 8 μm during storage. Cuspal flexure was significantly higher in the amalgam group (multivariate tests, p&lt;0.05), but storage time had no significant effect (repeated measures, p&gt;0.05). Expansion caused stress concentrations at the cavity line angles. These stress concentrations increased stresses due to mastication 44% to 178%. Conclusions: Amalgam expansion pushed cavity walls outward, which created stress concentrations at the cavity line angles. Expansion stresses can raise stresses in amalgam-filled teeth and contribute to incidentally observed cracks.

Abstract:
This study investigated the potential influence of proximal sensory feedback on voluntary distal motor activity in the paretic upper limb of hemiparetic stroke survivors and the potential effect of voluntary distal motor activity on proximal muscle activity. Ten stroke subjects and 10 neurologically intact control subjects performed maximum voluntary isometric flexion and extension, respectively, at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the fingers in two static arm postures and under three conditions of electrical stimulation of the arm. The tasks were quantified in terms of maximum MCP torque [MCP flexion (MCPflex) or MCP extension (MCPext)] and activity of targeted (flexor digitorum superficialis or extensor digitorum communis) and nontargeted upper limb muscles. From a previous study on the MCP stretch reflex poststroke, we expected stroke subjects to exhibit a modulation of voluntary MCP torque production by arm posture and electrical stimulation and increased nontargeted muscle activity. Posture 1 (flexed elbow, neutral shoulder) led to greater MCPflexin stroke subjects than posture 2 (extended elbow, flexed shoulder). Electrical stimulation did not influence MCPflexor MCPextin either subject group. In stroke subjects, posture 1 led to greater nontargeted upper limb flexor activity during MCPflexand to greater elbow flexor and extensor activity during MCPext. Stroke subjects exhibited greater elbow flexor activity during MCPflexand greater elbow flexor and extensor activity during MCPextthan control subjects. The results suggest that static arm posture can modulate voluntary distal motor activity and accompanying muscle activity in the paretic upper limb poststroke.

Abstract:
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relationship between toe muscular strength and the ability to change direction in athletes. Seventeen collegiate American-football players participated in the study (age 19.9 ± 0.9 years, competition experience 7.3 ± 1.7 years). Two types of measurements were performed to evaluate toe muscular strength: toe flexor strength with the metatarsophalangeal joint in the planter flexed position and toe-pushing force with the metatarsophalangeal joint in the dorsiflexed position. The ability to change direction was evaluated using the pro-agility and 3-cone tests and change of direction deficits, calculated by subtracting the sprint times from the pro-agility and 3-cone times. There were significant correlations between toe-pushing force and the results of the pro-agility and 3-cone tests, but no significant correlations between toe flexor strength and the pro-agility and 3-cone tests. Neither toe-pushing force nor toe flexor strength was significantly correlated with the sprint test results. Furthermore, toe-pushing force was significantly correlated with the 3-cone test deficit, but toe flexor strength was not. The ability to change direction is more strongly affected by toe muscular strength (measured as toe-pushing force) with the metatarsophalangeal joint in the dorsiflexed angle than by toe muscular strength (measured as toe flexor strength) with the metatarsophalangeal joint in the plantar flexed angle. Our results suggest that athletes can improve their ability to change direction with toe muscular strength training with the metatarsophalangeal joint in the dorsiflexed position.

Abstract:
We conducted laboratory tests to investigate the possibility of partly de-powering flexor digitorum profundus with a view of reducing flexion force during active flexor tendon rehabilitation. We constructed a splint and applied tapes to the proximal segments of fingers to test the hypothesis that holding three fingers more extended than the other finger would reduce the flexion strength of the more flexed finger. The splint allowed the metacarpophalangeal joint of the more flexed finger to be held in three positions of increasing flexion (15°, 30°, and 45°) compared to the remaining three fingers. We have called this ‘differential splintage’. Healthy volunteers were tested for maximum active flexion strength at the different flexion angles. ‘Differential splintage’ of up to 45° resulted in mean decreased flexion strength of 28% in the index finger and 35% to 38% in the middle, ring and little fingers. The results suggest that “differential splintage” of a finger after flexor tendon repair may be useful in reducing tension across the repair during a program of active tendon rehabilitation and we feel that it has potential to reduce the incidence of repair rupture before healing is complete.

Full text
Abstract:
The metathoracic fast extensor tibiae (FETi) motor neurone of locusts is unusual amongst insect motor neurones because it makes output connections within the central nervous system as well as in the periphery. It makes excitatory chemical synaptic connections to most if not all of the antagonist flexor tibiae motor neurones. The gain of the FETi-flexor connection is dependent on the peripheral conditions at the time of the FETi spike. This dependency has two aspects. First, sensory input resulting from the extensor muscle contraction can sum with the central excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) to augment its falling phase if the tibia is restrained in the flexed position (initiating a tension-dependent reflex) or is free to extend (initiating a movement-dependent resistance reflex). This effect is thus due to simple postsynaptic summation of the central EPSP with peripheral sensory input. Second, the static tibial position at the time of the FETi spike can change the amplitude of the central EPSP, in the absence of any extensor muscle contraction. The EPSP can be up to 30 % greater in amplitude if FETi spikes with the tibia held flexed rather than extended. The primary sense organ mediating this effect is the femoral chordotonal organ. Evidence is presented suggesting that the mechanism underlying this change in gain may be specifically localised to the FETi-flexor connection, rather than being due to general position-dependent sensory feedback summing with the EPSP. The change in the amplitude of the central EPSP is probably not caused by general postsynaptic summation with tonic sensory input, since a diminution in the amplitude of the central EPSP caused by tibial extension is often accompanied by overall tonic excitation of the flexor motor neurone. Small but significant changes in the peak amplitude of the FETi spike have a positive correlation with changes in the EPSP amplitude, suggesting a likely presynaptic component to the mechanism of gain control. The change in amplitude of the EPSP can alter its effectiveness in producing flexor motor output and, thus, has functional significance. The change serves to augment the effectiveness of the FETi-flexor connection when the tibia is fully flexed, and thus to increase its adaptive advantage during the co-contraction preceding a jump or kick, and to reduce the effectiveness of the connection when the tibia is partially or fully extended, and thus to reduce its potentially maladaptive consequences during voluntary extension movements such as thrusting.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate how elite Chinese gymnasts manage the landing impact from a backward somersault. Six international-level male gymnasts performed backward somersault tests with a synchronous collection of kinematics (250 Hz), ground reaction forces (1,000 Hz), and surface electromyography (EMG) (2,000 Hz). A 19-segment human model was developed and lower extremity joints torques were calculated by means of a computer simulation. The angles of the lower extremity joints initially extended and then flexed. These angular velocities of extension continued to decrease and the joint torques changed from extensor to flexor within 100 ms before touchdown. The angles of the hips, knees, and ankles flexed rapidly by 12°, 36°, and 29°, respectively, and the angular velocities of flexion, flexor torque, and EMG peaked sharply during the initial impact phase of the landing. The angles of the hips, knees, and ankles flexed at approximately 90°, 100°, and 80°, respectively. The torques were reversed with the extensor torques, showing a relatively high level of muscle activation during the terminal impact phase of the landing. The results showed that the international-level gymnasts first extended their lower extremity joints, then flexed just before touchdown. They continued flexing actively and rapidly in the initial impact phase and then extended to resist the landing impact and maintain body posture during the terminal impact phase of the landing. The information gained from this study could improve our understanding of the landings of elite gymnasts and assist in injury prevention.

Abstract:
Palmar prolapse of the flexor tendons as a result of attenuation of the A1 and A2 pulleys occurs in rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions in which the joints of the fingers are chronically flexed. The flexor tendons may be palpable and sometimes visible as longitudinal bands crossing the palm. This can lead to confusion with the palmar bands of Dupuytren's disease. These bands are illustrated in a small series of patients and a serious complication of a misdiagnosis of Dupuytren's disease is presented. The pathogenesis of these palmar bands in rheumatoid arthritis is discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Shigellen sind Erreger der bakteriellen Dysenterie beim Menschen. Ein notwendiger Schritt bei der Pathogenese der Shigellose ist die Invasion von Darmepithelzellen durch das Bakterium. Der Mikroorganismus löst dabei in der Wirtszelle Veränderungen des Aktinzytoskeletts aus, die zur Bildung einer blütenähnlichen Membranstruktur und schließlich zur Internalisierung des Pathogens führen. Diese Umbauvorgänge am Zytoskelett sind abhängig von einem Wirtszellprotein, der kleinen GTPase Rho. Drei Isoformen von Rho (A, B und C) sind beschrieben, deren Aminosäuresequenzen zu etwa 90% identisch sind. Während der Zellinvasion durch Shigella akkumulieren verschiedene Rho-Isoformen an unterschiedlichen Lokalisationen des Invasionskomplexes. Dabei werden RhoA vorwiegend um die eindringenden Bakterienherum, RhoB und RhoC hingegen hauptsächlich in die bakterieninduzierten zellulären Protrusionen rekrutiert. Durch Untersuchung von Rho-Hybridkonstrukten konnte gezeigt werden, daß ein prä-C-terminales, acht Aminosäuren umfassendes Modul die Rekrutierungsmuster von RhoA bzw. RhoC bestimmt. Der Austausch zweier Aminosäuren innerhalb des Moduls führte zu einer Konversion des Rekrutierungsmusters von RhoA. Wir konnten zeigen, daß die Rekrutierung von RhoA vom Funktionszustand der GTPase (Bindung von GTP/GDP) sowie von der Phosphorylierung durch die Proteinkinase A unabhängig ist. Schließlich wurde hier nachgewiesen, daß auch RhoD, das zu RhoA, B und C auf der Primärstrukturebene nur zu etwa 50% homolog ist, an die Bakterieneintrittsstelle rekrutiert werden kann. RhoD folgt dabei dem Rekrutierungsmuster von RhoB und RhoC.
Shigella causes bacillary dysentery in humans. Bacterial invasion of enterocytes is an essential step in the pathogenesis of shigellosis. Pathogen-triggered rearrangements of the host cell actin cytoskeleton induce a blossom-like membrane structure for internalisation of the microorganism. Actin remodeling requires activity of the host cell small GTPase rho. Three highly homologous rho isoforms (A, B and C) have been described with amino acid identities of about 90%. During Shigella invasion these rho isoforms accumulate at different sites of the invasion complex. While rhoA is chiefly recruited around entering bacteria, rhoB and rhoC are essentially translocated to the bacteria-induced cellular protrusions. Using a variety of rho hybrid constructs in a HeLa cell transfection-infection assay we were able to show that a pre-C-terminal stretch of eight amino acids determines the recruitment patterns of rhoA and rhoC. Exchange of two amino acids was sufficient for conversion of the rhoA recruitment pattern into a rhoC-like pattern. We could demonstrate that rhoA recruitment is independent of its functional state (GDP- or GTP-bound) or phosphorylation by the proteinkinase A (PKA). Finally, we have shown that rhoD, another member of the rho family which shares only 50% of its primary structure with rhoA, B or C, is also recruited to the bacterial entry site exhibiting a rhoB/C-like pattern of distribution.

This paper deals with two-dimensional Finite Element Analysis of the End Notched Flexure (ENF) specimen. The specimen is known to be unstable if the crack length is shorter than some critical crack length acr. A geometric linear two-dimensional Finite Element (FE) analysis of the ENF specimen is performed to evaluate acr for isotropic and orthotropic elastic materials, respectively. Moreover, the Mode II Energy Release Rate (ERR) JII and the compliance of the specimen are calculated. The influence of anisotropy is studied. Comparisons are made with the results from beam theory.

As robots and other actuated mechanisms get smaller, so must their moving parts. A novel flexure-based joint was developed for Squishbot1 by a team at MIT, which can be made small (sub-cm), or much larger. Here, pseudo-rigid-body modeling is used in conjunction with the geometry of the joint mechanism in order to create analytic models of the forces at play in the joint, so as to better enable their design and use. Two mechanisms are analyzed: one in which the flexure is pinned to the moving legs, and one in which it is fixed. Systems of equations are generated for fixed flexure and pinned flexure joints, which are provided for the reader to use in order to develop their own mechanisms, and optimize them to their own applications. The fixed flexure, no leg contact model is tested for a particular configuration, and less than 3% error is found between the experimental and model data. The advancement of small (sub-cm) actuated mechanisms will push forward the development of small robots, and expand the terrains and applications in which robots can work.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, the large-scale geophysical behaviour of the Earth, Venus and Mars are compared, using data collected by the Magellan spaceprobe (for Venus) and the Viking and Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) probes (for Mars). Neither Venus nor Mars show evidence of plate tectonics operating at the present day. On Venus, the lack of water means the frictional resistance at faults and the viscous drag on the base of the moving lithospheric plates are too high to be overcome by the driving forces for plate tectonics. The high elastic thickness of Mars results in a large frictional resistance to fault motion, although the faults themselves are probably no stronger than those on the Earth, and means large compressive stresses are required to initiate subduction. The likely high viscosity of the martian mantle, a consequence of its probable dryness and low temperature, may also result in large drag forces on the base of the lithosphere. Plate tectonics may have operated in the past on both planets, providing a possible explanation for the rapid resurfacing of Venus required by the crater counts and the linear magnetic anomalies recently discovered on Mars.

Full text
Abstract:
With the increase in usage of engineering ceramics, a new industrial standard is required in order to evaluate its properties and to perform a fair and just trade. The thesis investigates the faults and omissions of existing work and judges today's requirements thereby constructing a framework with which today's and future standards in flexure testing can be based. The draft standard presented in this thesis covers the three major testing methods for determining the biaxial flexural strength (modulus of rupture) of engineering ceramics. The ring-on-ring, ball-on-ring, and 4-Ball test fixtures were all adopted as standard, since it is known that each of these systems is suited for a particular application and each has different advantages and disadvantages. The three major biaxial test methods prescribed in this draft standard have been devised so that more consistent and accurate test results can be obtained. However, the uncertainty of measurement in flexure testing always exists and needs to be estimated. The estimation of uncertainty in flexure testing in this study is based on the methodology provided in the ISO Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement. The results of the estimation showed that the uncertainty in measurement for the biaxial flexure test standard proposed in this thesis is very low compared to the inherent variability of the strength of ceramic materials. It was also found that the applied load, thickness of the disc plate, and random effects are the three major components contributing to the overall uncertainty. The total uncertainty of measurement in biaxial flexure testing can be significantly minimised by the reduction of the uncertainty contributed from these components, especially from random effects.

Abstract:
AbstractDue to the consistent pressing quest of larger on-chip memories and caches of multicore and manycore architectures, Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic RAM (STT-MRAM or STT-RAM) has been proposed as a promising technology to replace classical SRAMs in near-future devices. Main advantages of STT-RAMs are a considerably higher transistor density and a negligible leakage power compared with SRAM technology. However, the drawback of this technology is the high probability of errors occurring especially in write operations. Such errors are asymmetric and transition-dependent, where 0 → 1 is the most critical one, and is high subjected to the amount and current (voltage) supplied to the memory during the write operation. As a consequence, STT-RAMs present an intrinsic trade-off between energy consumption vs. reliability that needs to be properly tuned w.r.t. the currently running application and its reliability requirement. This chapter proposes FlexRel, an energy-aware reliability improvement architectural scheme for STT-RAM cache memories. FlexRel considers a memory architecture provided with Error Correction Codes (ECCs) and a custom current regulator for the various cache ways and conducts a trade-off between reliability and energy consumption. FlexRel cache controller dynamically profiles the number of 0 → 1 transitions of each individual bit write operation in a cache block and based on that selects the most-suitable cache way and current level to guarantee the necessary error rate threshold (in terms of occurred write errors) while minimizing the energy consumption. We experimentally evaluated the efficiency of FlexRel against the most efficient uniform protection scheme from reliability, energy, area, and performance perspectives. Experimental simulations performed by using gem5 has demonstrated that while FlexRel satisfies the given error rate threshold, it delivers up to 13.2% energy saving. From the area footprint perspective, FlexRel delivers up to 7.9% cache ways’ area saving. Furthermore, the performance overhead of the FlexRel algorithm which changes the traffic patterns of the cache ways during the executions is 1.7%, on average.

Abstract:
Over-constraint is an important concern in mechanism design because it can lead to a loss in desired mobility. In distributed-compliance flexure mechanisms, this problem is alleviated due to the phenomenon of elastic averaging, thus enabling performance-enhancing geometric arrangements that are otherwise unrealizable. The principle of elastic averaging is illustrated in this paper by means of a multi-beam parallelogram flexure mechanism. In a lumped-compliance configuration, this mechanism is prone to over-constraint in the presence of nominal manufacturing and assembly errors. However, with an increasing degree of distributed-compliance, the mechanism is shown to become more tolerant to such geometric imperfections. The nonlinear load-stiffening and elasto-kinematic effects in the constituent beams have an important role to play in the over-constraint and elastic averaging characteristics of this mechanism. Therefore, a parametric model that incorporates these nonlinearities is utilized in predicting the influence of a representative geometric imperfection on the primary motion stiffness of the mechanism. The proposed model utilizes a beam generalization so that varying degrees of distributed compliance are captured using a single geometric parameter.
