Full textAbstract:
Increased urbanization causes pervious greenfields to be converted to impervious areas increasing stormwater runoff. Most of the urban floods occur because existing drainage systems are unable to handle peak flows during rainfall events. During a storm event, flood runoff will carry contaminants to receiving waters such as rivers and creeks. Engineers and scientists have combined their knowledge to introduce innovative thinking to manage the quality of urban runoff and harvest stormwater for productive purposes. The introduction of pervious pavements addresses all the principles in Water Sensitive Urban Design. A pervious pavement is a load bearing pavement structure that is permeable to water. The pervious layer sits on the top of a reservoir storage layer. Pervious pavements reduce the flood peak as well as improve the quality of stormwater at source before it is transported to receiving waters or reused productively. To be accepted as a viable solution, understanding of the influence of design parameters on the infiltration rate (both from the bedding and the sub-base) as well as strength of the pavement requires to be established. The design of a particular pavement will need to be customized for different properties of sub layer materials present in different sites. In addition, the designs will have to meet local government stormwater discharge standards. The design of drainage systems underneath pervious pavements will need to be based on the permeability of the whole pervious system. The objectives of the research project are to: Understand the factors influencing infiltration capacities and percolation rates through the pervious surface as well as the whole pavement structure including the bedding and the sub-base using a laboratory experimental setup. Obtain relationships between rainfall intensity, infiltration rate and runoff quantity based on the sub-grade material using a computational model to assist the design of pervious pavements. A laboratory scale pavement was constructed to develop relationships between the surface runoff and the infiltration volume from a pervious pavement with an Eco-Pavement surface. 2 to 5mm crushed gravel and 5 to 20mm open graded gravel were chosen as the bedding and sub-base material. Initial tests such as dry and wet density, crushing values, hydraulic conductivity, California Bearing Ratio tests for aggregate material were conducted before designing and constructing the pavement model. A rainfall simulator with evenly spaced 24 sprays was set up above the pervious pavement surface. The thesis presents design aspects of the laboratory scale pavement and the tests carried out in designing the pavement and the experimental procedure. The Green and Ampt model parameters to calculate infiltration were obtained from the laboratory test results from aggregate properties. Runoff results obtained from rainfall simulator tests were compared with the Green and Ampt infiltration model results to demonstrate that the Green and Ampt parameters could be successfully calculated from aggregate properties. The final infiltration rate and the cumulative infiltration volume of water were independent of the rainfall intensity once the surface is saturated. The model parameters were shown to be insensitive to the final infiltration capacity and to the total amount of infiltrated water. The Green and Ampt infiltration parameters are the most important parameters in designing pervious pavements using the PCSWMMPP model. The PCSWMMPP model is a Canadian model built specially for designing pervious pavements. This is independent of the type of sub-grade (sand or clay) determining whether the water is diverted to the urban drainage system (clay sub-grade) or deep percolation into the groundwater system (sand sub-grade). The percolation parameter in Darcy's law is important only if the infiltrated water recharges the groundwater. However, this parameter is also insensitive to the final discharge through the subgrade to the groundwater. The study concludes by presenting the design characteristics influencing runoff from a pervious pavement depending on the rainfall intensity, pavement structure and sub-grade material and a step-by step actions to follow in the design.

Full textAbstract:
This work investigates the material properties and production parameters of carbon infiltrated carbon nanotube structures (CI-CNT's). The impact of non homogeneous infiltration and the porosity of cross section regions, coupled with changes in designed geometry, in this case beam width, on the density and modulus of elasticity are compared. Three potential geometric models of beam cross section are proposed and evaluated. 3-point bending, SEM images, and numerical optimization are used to assess the validity of each model and the implications they have for future CI-CNT material applications. Carbon capping near exterior beam surfaces is observed and determined to be a contributing factor to variations in material properties correlated with changes in designed geometry and infiltration parameters (temperature, time, and hydrogen flow rate). Unexpected relationships between beam width and elastic modulus are partially explained by modeling the carbon-capped beams as C-shaped structural members consisting of a graphitic carbon shell of varying porosity and thickness and uninfiltrated carbon nanotube internal regions with a near negligible stiffness. Findings of previous works on the effects of infiltration parameters and carbon capping on materials properties are confirmed and expanded. Flange and web thickness and porosity of the graphitic carbon shell are identified as potential design parameters for pursuing tunable material properties in high precision geometry MEMS and compliant mechanism applications.

Full textAbstract:
En aquesta tesi es planteja fabricar una cel·la solar nano-estructurada de perovskita utilitzant alúmina nano-porosa anoditzada (NAA en les seves sigles en anglès) com a suport.
Es va escollir la perovskita perquè les cel·les solars d'aquest material han assolit una eficiència molt similar a les cel·les existents de silici. A més a més, són barates i fàcils de preparar. El fet que la cel·la estigui nano-estructurada aportarà estabilitat davant la radiació, la temperatura i la humitat, sent aquest el principal problema d'aquests dispositius.
Els nano-porus de la NAA tenen una forma cilíndrica molt ben definida on la grandària es pot controlar fàcilment sent tots els nano-porus iguals, el qual permetrà un major control sobre l'homogeneïtat del material infiltrat. Per tant l'objectiu de la tesi és aplicar la tecnologia de NAA a les cel·les solars de perovskita (CSP). Per això, primer va tenir lloc un procés de familiarització amb la fabricació i caracterització de NAA, així com dels CPSs d'alta eficiència, mitjançant mètodes estàndards coneguts.
Un cop es va aconseguir la fabricació de NAA amb diferents mides de porus, la capa barrera d'alúmina que existeix entre l'alumini i el fons del porus va haver de ser eliminada, per poder aprofitar l'alumini (base de la NAA) com a contacte elèctric. Pel qual es va investigar i desenvolupar un nou mètode, ja que els mètodes existents no són adequats per eliminar la capa de barrera de gruixos superiors als 200 nm.
Finalment es va estudiar la infiltració dels materials que formen una CSP en els nano-porus, mitjançant mètodes simples de deposició. Es va obtenir una cel·la solar nano-estructurada de perovskita utilitzant com a suport NAA, dels quals resultats d'eficiència són humils, pel fet que l'estructura plantejada en aquest treball és totalment innovadora. Fet que obre un ampli camí per futurs treballs.En esta tesis se plantea fabricar una celda solar nano-estructurada de perovskita utilizando alúmina nano-porosa anodizada (NAA de sus siglas en inglés) como soporte.

Finalmente se estudió la infiltración de los materiales que forman una CSP en los nano-poros, mediante métodos simples de deposición. Se obtuvo una celda solar nano-estructurada de perovskita utilizando como soporte NAA, cuyos resultados de eficiencia son humildes, debido a que la estructura planteada en este trabajo es totalmente novedosa. Lo cual abre un amplio camino para futuros trabajos.
In this thesis, the nanostructured perovskite solar cell manufacture using nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) as a scaffold is proposed. The perovskite was chosen since the solar cells made with this material have achieved very similar efficiency to silicon cells. Also, they are cheap and easy to prepare. The fact that the cell will be nanostructured will provide stability against radiation, temperature and humidity, this being the main problem of these devices. The NAA nanopores have a very well defined cylindrical shape, whose size can be easily controlled, all nanopores being ident, which will allow greater control over the homogeneity of the infiltrated material. Therefore, this thesis aims to apply NAA technology to perovskite solar cells (PSCs). First, the familiarization process with the manufacture and characterization of NAA, as well as of high-efficiency PSCs, through known standard methods were carried out. Once the manufacture of NAA with different pore sizes was achieved, the alumina barrier layer that exists between the aluminium and the bottom of the nanopores had to be removed, to take advantage of the aluminium (base of the NAA) as an electrical contact. For which a new method was investigated and developed since existing methods are not suitable for removing barrier layer thicknesses greater than 200 nm. Finally, the infiltration of the materials that form a PSC within the nanopores was studied, utilizing simple deposition methods. A full working nanostructured perovskite solar cell was obtained using NAA as a scaffold, whose efficiency results are modest because the structure proposed in this work is novel. Which opens a wide path for future work.

Full textAbstract:
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Doppelringinfiltrationsexperimente an teilweise gefrorenen Böden durchgeführt. Diese Experimente wurden anschließend mit den zwei computergestützten Modellen, Erosion 3D / Winter und COUP, nachgestellt, um die Frage zu beantworten, ob es möglich ist, die Infiltration in teilweise gefrorene Böden vorherzusagen.
Die Doppelringinfiltrationsexperimente wurden auf einem ackerbaulich genutzten Lehmboden mit geringer Lagerungsdichte und Bodenfeuchten im Bereich der Feldkapazität, an der nördlichen Grenze des hydrologischen Untersuchungsgebietes „Schäfertal“ durchgeführt. Drei Experimente erfolgten bei teilweise gefrorenen und ein Experiment bei ungefrorenem Boden.
Bei diesen Experimenten wurde herausgefunden, dass die Endinfiltrationsrate des gefrorenen Bodens mit 7·10-5 m/s gleich der Endinfiltrationsrate des ungefrorenen Bodens war. Während bei dem Infiltrationsexperiment mit ungefrorenem Boden die Endinfiltrationsrate bereits nach 10 bis 20 min erreicht war, wurden bei den Experimenten mit gefrorenen Böden aufgrund der zusätzlichen Sättigung des kryoturbativen Sekundärporenvolumens mehr Zeit benötigt.
Zu den im Boden ablaufenden Prozessen bei Zugabe von Infiltrationswasser (Temperaturveränderung, Gefrier- und Auftauprozesse, Veränderung der Porosität) besteht noch Klärungsbedarf.
Der für die Modellierung wichtige Eingabeparameter der Anfangsbodenfeuchte konnte bei winterlichen Bedingungen nicht genau bestimmt werden. Gravimetrische Bodenfeuchtebestimmungen liefern aufgrund des Eintrags von zusätzlichen Eis- und Schnee-Wasser zu hohe Werte. TDR- und Watermark-Messungen unterschätzen hingegen die Bodenfeuchten, weil sie nur den Anteil des flüssigen Wassers berücksichtigen.
Mit Erosion 3D / Winter konnten die Ergebnisse der Infiltrationsexperimente, unter der Voraussetzung, dass die effektive gesättigte hydraulische Leitfähigkeit des ungefrorenen Bodens exakt bekannt war, sehr gut nachgestellt werden. Eine Modellierung der Infiltration in einen teilweise gefrorenen Boden ist damit, zumindest für den untersuchten Boden und die betrachteten meteorologischen Bedingungen, möglich.
Das COUP - Modell lieferte dagegen völlig andere Ergebnisse, weil von einem Einfrieren des infiltrierten Wassers bei negativen Temperaturen ausgegangen wird. Eine Verbesserung der Infiltrationsbeschreibungen könnte hier wahrscheinlich durch die Vorgabe einer größeren Anzahl von Eingabeparametern, die die natürliche Situation besser repräsentieren als die für die Modellierung verwendeten Daten, erfolgen.

Une premiere approche de la modelisation de l'epuration par infiltration-percolation est proposee, basee sur l'etude des transferts de masse dans le massif filtrant. La description des transferts de substrat dans le biofilm permet d'apprehender les mecanismes d'epuration physico-chimique en condition d'oxydant non limitant (nitrification, denitrification). Une condition supplementaire sur le non colmatage du filtre complete cette modelisation dans le cas de l'oxydation de fortes dcio. Les experiences, conduites sur des colonnes ventilees artificiellement (oxydation de la dco, nitrification) ou realisees en milieu anoxique (denitrification) montrent des capacites epuratoires bien superieures aux resultats obtenus sur les dispositifs fonctionnant en aeration naturelle. Le calcul des bilans d'oxygene dans un massif filtrant aboutit a une modelisation simple de l'epuration physico-chimique sur massif filtrant non ventile artificiellement. Les charges polluantes maximales admissibles peuvent alors etre calculees pour une gestion hydraulique donnee. L'analyse statistique des abattements bacteriens releves dans la litterature rend compte de l'influence des parametres globaux de l'infiltration-percolation: temps de sejour de l'effluent dans le massif, repartition de l'effluent a la surface du filtre, niveau d'oxygenation et frequence des apports. Differentes lois d'abattement sont proposees et testees. L'utilisation de certaines lois en prediction peut etre envisagee

Full textAbstract:
Observations made at Goat Meadows - a small sub-alpine basin located near Pemberton, British Columbia -demonstrated that a layer which is either water repellent or has only a limited affinity for water is present at most vegetated sites. The layer is typically a few centimetres in thickness, and is usually located at or near the top of the profile: it was present only in the zone of accumulation of organic matter. The spatial distribution of the layer did not appear to be related to the distribution of any particular species of plant. Sampling of sub-alpine sites in the Cascade, Selkirk, and Purcell Mountains indicated that such layers are common in the alpine - sub-alpine ecotone of southern British Columbia.
The relationship between ponding depth and infiltration rate was explored through experiments conducted on samples collected near Ash Lake, in Goat Meadows. These samples were chosen for analysis because the repellent layer was in excess of thirty centimetres thick at this site. Infiltration rates remained below 2x10⁻⁹ m/s for all samples, even given ponding depths of up to forty centimetres. Breakthrough of liquid water was not observed, even after one month, which implies that most of the infiltration occurred as vapour transfer.
In order to observe the movement of liquid water through water repellent media, a plexiglas cell was constructed. A synthetic water repellent sand with uniform surface properties was used as the medium. It was found that up to some critical depth, there was no entry of water into the medium. As the ponding depth was increased in steps, the front would advance in steps: it remained stationary between these step-increases in ponding depth. As the front advanced, protuberances or "fingers" began to develop. At some critical ponding depth, a finger would grow without bound. These observations pose a challenge to existing models of infiltration, since it appears that heterogeneity at the scale of individual pores must be invoked to explain them, but it is usually assumed that the properties of a porous medium are continuous at this scale.
The thermodynamics of filling and emptying of pores is considered with emphasis on the effects of pore shape and of variations in the physicochemical properties at the scale of the pore. This thermodynamic analysis provides the conceptual basis for development of a model of infiltration in which pore-scale heterogeneity is preserved. Although it was not developed as such, the model follows the approach of cellular automata, in which local relations between pores or "cells" govern the behaviour of the system. The model replicated the observations of infiltration into synthetic water repellent porous media well: both the halting advance of the front as the ponding depth was increased and the development of fingers were simulated. The fact that such complex behaviour was predicted using only a simple set of physically based rules confirms the power of the approach.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Esta monografía se enmarca en el manejo de los recursos hídricos en grandes redes de riego. En ella se describe el caso del río Mendoza, en la provincia homónima, el que fuera regulado en el año 2002. Este río nace en la Cordillera de los Andes, y presenta un importante arrastre de sólidos en suspensión, los que actualmente son retenidos en gran medida por el embalse Potrerillos. Las “aguas claras" que se erogan del embalse producen problemas erosivos, los que a su vez estarían ocasionando una mayor infiltración en los canales, y con ello un incremento en la recarga de acuíferos en ciertas zonas, así como problemas derivados del ascenso de la freática en otras. Se citan procesos ocurridos en otros distritos de riego frente a la regulación de los ríos, para concluir que el del río Mendoza es un caso susceptible de sufrir ciertos per-juicios, ya señalados en la Manifestación General de Impacto Ambiental del embalse Potrerillos, los que actualmente se están presentando en la red de riego. A partir de los estudios de sedimentología en el río Mendoza, se hace un análisis técnico de los fenómenos asociados al cambio de las características físicas del agua. Luego se describen los procesos erosivos, de acuerdo con la hidráulica clásica. Se define la Eficiencia de conducción (Ec), la infiltración en canales y su importancia en distintos distritos de riego, para luego mencionar los estudios realizados en el área del río Mendoza. Se analiza el desarrollo espacial que ha tenido el oasis, la escasa programación que tuvo su traza y la antigüedad de la misma. La descripción de los suelos permite concluir acerca de la importancia de su estructura y del papel que juegan las porciones finas, aún en minoría, que integran las distintas clases texturales con respecto a la Ec. Se describen los criterios con que se distribuye el agua en Mendoza, analizándose los caudales distribuidos actualmente, para relacionarlos con los niveles freáticos. Se mencionan además distintas acciones encaradas por la provincia para mitigar los efectos de las aguas claras. El análisis de los métodos utilizados para medir la Ec, permite apreciar el estado de la ciencia al respecto. Un análisis de las ventajas y de las desventajas de los distintos métodos, y de los resultados que con ellos se obtienen, permite concluir que el método de entradas y salidas es el que mejor se adapta en Mendoza, incluyendo además aspectos metodológicos de la medición. También se concluye en que la Ec. está insuficientemente evaluada; las fracciones finas de los suelos en muchos casos gravitan más que la textura frente a la Ec; por ello, se considera que el estudio de la Ec en las distintas áreas de manejo es necesario para entender los procesos de revenición y recarga de acuíferos, y que las pérdidas administrativas pueden gravitar más que la Ec. Se recomienda continuar con los trabajos de evaluación de Ec, al ser necesarios para todas las actividades en la cuenca; se desaconseja en este río el ajuste de modelos de predicción de Ec; las características de los suelos obligan a interpretar y aplicar con criterio la bibliografía internacional, pero aún así no se pueden hacer generalizaciones acerca de de la Ec en Mendoza.The case of the Mendoza River (Province of Mendoza, Argentina), regulated in 2002, is described within the overall framework of water resource management in large irrigation systems. With headwaters in the Andes, the Mendoza River transports a large volume of suspended solids, which are now retained in the Potrerillos Reservoir. The “clear waters" from the reservoir cause erosion problems which seem to induce higher infiltration in irrigation canals and, consequently, increased aquifer recharge in some areas and rising water tables in others. Reference is made to river regulation processes in other irrigation districts to conclude that the Mendoza River irrigation district is likely to be negatively affected, as anticipated in the General Environmental Impact Assessment Report on the Potrerillos Reservoir, and some of these negative effects can already be observed in the irrigation system. A technical analysis of the phenomena associated with changes in the physical characteristics of water is made from sediment data on the Mendoza River. Erosion processes are also described in terms of classic hydraulics. Conveyance Efficiency (Ec), canal infiltration and gravitation in several irrigation districts are specified and reference is made to other studies on the Mendoza River command area. Expansion of the oasis, poor planning of the canal system and period during which it has been in operation are also analyzed. A description of the soils in the area makes it possible to reach a conclusion on the importance of their structure and on the role that clays play. Water allocation criteria in Mendoza are described and flows currently distributed are discussed in relation to water table levels. Mention is made of several actions implemented by the government of Mendoza to mitigate the impact of clear waters. An examination of the methods used to measure Ec makes it possible to assess the state of science in this respect. An analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods and of the results obtained leads to the conclusion that the input-output method is the best suited for this work in Mendoza. It is further concluded that Ec is insufficiently evaluated and that, in many cases, finer soil fractions (clays) are more important than texture. It is therefore considered that the study of Ec is needed in the different irrigation management areas to understand waterlogging and aquifer recharge processes, and that administrative losses may weigh more than Ec. All of the above led to the following conclusions: further studies on Ec should be conducted as Ec is necessary for all activities in the basin; it is not advisable to adjust Ec prediction models for the Mendoza River; soil characteristics render it necessary to interpret and use international bibliography with caution, though it is impossible to make generalizations about Ec in the province of Mendoza.

Full textAbstract:
Vid operation av primär total höftplastik finns det olika metoder för postoperativ smärtlindring. En tidigare genomförd studie på ett mellansvenskt sjukhus (nedan kallad ”höftprojektet”) visade att ”Local infiltration analgesia” (LIA) initialt minskade postoperativ smärta, underlättade mobilisering samt förkortade vårdtiden, jämfört med spinalt morfin. I denna studie genomfördes en långtidsuppföljning av höftprojektet med mätningar efter 6 respektive 12 veckor. Studiegruppen hade fått LIA vid operationsslutet och kontrollgruppen spinalt morfin. Båda grupperna hade en spinal bedövning under operationen. Denna långtidsuppföljning genomfördes med hjälp av journalgranskning och hade en deskriptiv och jämförande design med en kvantitativ ansats. Studiegruppen bestod av 40 patienter och kontrollgruppen 11 patienter. Studerade variabler var smärta mätt genom Visuell Analog Skala (VAS), behov av analgetika och mobilisering. Resultatet visade att det inte fanns någon signifikant skillnad mellan de båda grupperna när det gäller mobilisering under ett längre perspektiv. Det fanns dock en signifikant skillnad när det gäller smärta efter 3 månader, då studiegruppen uppgav en lägre grad av smärta än kontrollgruppen.
There are several methods for postoperative pain treatment after primary total hip replacement. It was shown in a earlier study at a Swedish hospital (below named as "the hip project") that "Local infiltration analgesia" (LIA) decreased pain, facilitated early postoperative mobility and earlier discharge from the hospital, compared with spinally administered morphine. Present study is a long term follow up of the hip project with two measures at 6 and 12 weeks. The study group was given LIA towards the end of the operation while the control group were given spinal morphine at the induction. Both groups had spinal analgesia during the surgery. The long term follow up was conducted by a comparative design and the data was collected from the patient’s charts and files. The variables were pain measured by Visual Analogous Scale (VAS), need of pain relieves and general mobility. The study group contained of 40 patients and the control group of 11. The result relived no significant differences between the two groups regarding long term mobility. There was, however, a significant difference in pain after 12 weeks; the study group had less pain that the control group.

Full textAbstract:
Metal/ceramic composites have attracted considerable attention in the last 20 years, primarily due to the flexibility they offer when designing material with tailored properties. Melt infiltration is a popular fabricating method for such composites, as it allows the production of near-net shape components with high ceramic content. Capillaric melt infiltration is a simpler process since the liquid penetrates the preform under the action of a capillary pressure. This work deals with the fabrication and evaluation of a TiC/Al composite produced by melt infiltration. Pre-sintered preforms, having different void fraction and pore size, where infiltrated with pure Al, in an argon atmosphere, at various temperatures. The infiltration was carried out using the contact and the capillary dip methods to study the mechanical properties and infiltration behaviour, respectively.The material exhibited a wide range of properties, depending on the ceramic content. Optimum tensile strengths of up to 480MPa were obtained for composites containing between 67 and 75% TiC, and infiltrated at 1050-1200$ sp circ$C. The extent of pre-sintering of the TiC was seen to play a crucial role in the strengthening of the microstructure, as well as the fracture mechanism by which the material failed. The elastic modulus was seen to increase with increasing TiC content, from values of 120 to 290GPa. The hardness also increased with TiC content, to values as high as 800kg/mm$ sp2,$ but decreased with higher infiltration temperatures due to the breakdown of the TiC network and grain coarsening.
An experimental set-up was designed to measure the rate of infiltration by continually monitoring the weight changes of the preform as a result of the penetration of Al. Infiltration profiles were generated as a function of pore size, pore volume and temperature. At low temperatures, an incubation period was evident as a result of the transient contact angle between the two phases. Moreover, infiltration was inhibited at lower pore volume fraction. Finally, the Activation energy for the system increased from 90 to 450kJ/mol, with increasing pore size, suggesting a transition from a diffusion controlled process to one activated by a surface reaction for larger pore sizes.

Full textAbstract:
Numerical simulations were performed to study two-dimensional infiltration from furrows. The simulations were carried out using the models SWMS_2D, HYDRUS-2D and HYDRUS-1D. The first model was used to evaluate the individual effect of soil and furrow parameters on cumulative infiltration and deep seepage. Cumulative infiltration was found to be more sensitive to saturated hydraulic conductivity, wetted perimeter and furrow spacing than the other parameters for relatively long times, while cumulative deep seepage was more sensitive to the same parameters except to the furrow spacing. It was verified that two-dimensional cumulative infiltration can be approximated using one-dimensional models, for example HYDRUS-1D, by combining the vertical and horizontal infiltrations. The two-dimensional cumulative infiltration is underpredicted by no more than 35% using this calculation. When steady state is reached the steady infiltration rate may be linearly related to the depth of the furrow. As a result, steady infiltration rate is dependent only on type of soil, water depth in the furrow and furrow width. Broocks-Corey soil hydraulic parameters were matched to the van Genuchten parameters by four different procedures. The method based on matching sorptivities produced the closest results to the van Genuchten solution for one- and two-dimensional cumulative infiltration. However, cumulative deep seepage was not accurately simulated. The SCS infiltration parameters were also matched but using an inverse problem methodology. The parameters obtained described cumulative infiltration reasonably well.

Full textAbstract:
Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is a new technique for postoperative pain management following knee arthroplasty. LIA involves a long-acting local anesthetic (ropivacaine), a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (ketorolac) and epinephrine infiltrated into the knee joint during surgery and injected postoperatively via a catheter. In the first two studies, LIA was compared with placebo in unicompartmental (I) and total (II) knee arthroplasty. Postoperative pain levels, morphine consumption and the incidence of side effects were lower in the LIA groups. In addition, we found a shorter length of hospital stay in the LIA group following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty compared with placebo (I), while the time to home readiness was shorter in the LIA group following total knee arthroplasty (II). In this study, we found that the unbound venous blood concentration of ropivacaine was below systemic toxic blood concentrations in a sub-group of patients. In the third study, LIA was compared with intrathecal morphine for postoperative pain relief following total knee arthroplasty (III). Pain scores and morphine consumption were lower, length of hospital stay was shorter and patient satisfaction was higher in the LIA group. In the final study, we investigated the effect of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) compared with conventional surgery in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (IV). Both groups received LIA. We found no statistically significant differences in postoperative pain, morphine consumption, knee function, home readiness, hospital stay or patient satisfaction. In conclusion, LIA provided better postoperative pain relief and earlier mobilization than placebo, both in unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty. When compared to intrathecal morphine, LIA also resulted in improved postoperative pain relief and earlier mobilization. Minimally invasive surgery did not improve outcomes after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, when both groups received LIA.

Full textAbstract:
This work characterizes the material properties of carbon infiltrated carbon nanotube (CI- CNT) structures. The impacts of temperature, time, and hydrogen flow rates on the material prop- erties of modulus of elasticity and strength are examined and compared. Carbon infiltration levels are assessed through the use of SEM images to determine which parameters give the highest level of infiltration. Through the use of SEM, carbon capping is observed on samples infiltrated for longer times at 900 and 950◦ C, suggesting that the samples are not being infiltrated during the entire desired infiltration period at these temperatures. The highest material properties of modulus and strength were reached when infiltrating the carbon nanotube forests for 150 mins at 850◦ C with hydrogen flowing at 311 sccm (0.0115 m/s). With these parameters, a modulus of 20.4 GPa and strength of 289.8 MPa were attained. The poorest results were seen when the samples were infiltrated at 800◦ C, and is therefore not recommended as an infiltration temperature if high mod- ulus and strength are desired. Density is correlated to strength and modulus and it is seen that there is a strong correlation between higher strength and modulus with higher density.

Les métastases hépatiques compliquent l'évolution de 50% des cancers colorectaux (CCR). Plus de la moitié des patients présentent une récidive à distance avec métastases occultes pour lesquelles une chirurgie peut être réalisée dans moins de 20% des cas. L'ablation par radiofréquence (RFA) induit une réponse lymphocytaire T qui n'est pas évaluée après une intervention chirurgicale seule. L'immunothérapie combinée à la RFA pourrait potentialiser cet effet conduisant à une réponse tumorale à distance. Nous proposons une approche qui combine la RFA avec hydrogel thermoreversible libérant des agents immunomodulateurs (GMCSF et BCG) sur le site du traitementPremièrement, nous nous sommes intéressés à la sélection et à la caractérisation de la formulation optimale d’hydrogel par des techniques physicochimiques. Les propriétés de l'hydrogel ont été étudiées par rhéologie et des tests de muco-adhésion ont été mis en place. Le temps de résidence de l'hydrogel et de la protéine dans la zone tumorale a été démontré par imagerie optique. De plus, la cinétique de libération et l'intégrité du GMCSF encapsulé ont été déterminées. Ensuite, nous avons démontré l’efficacité de l’association de la RFA avec le dépôt local de l’hydrogel immunomodulatuer sur un modèle murin de cancer colorectal. En effet, nous avons observé une survie améliorée des animaux et régression complète des tumeurs distantes chez les animaux traités par la combinaison complète. Cette réponse est caractérisée par un niveau élevé de sécrétion de cytokines pro-inflammatoires par les cellules T CD4 et TCD8 et une augmentation de l’infiltrat lymphocytaire dans les tumeurs. Ceci a permis d'envisager une association avec l'immunothérapie anti-PD1 dans le traitement de macrométastases échappant au traitement combiné RFA avec l’hydrogel immunomodulateur. En effet, l’immunothérapie dans le traitement du cancer colorectal métastatique présente une efficacité limitée chez les patients. Notre travail propose a démontré que l’efficacité de l’immunomodulation locale dans l’amélioration des réponses immunitaires dans le cancer colorectal. Ces résultats permettent de reconsidérer l’utilisation de l’immunothérapie chez les patients atteints de CCR métastatique non MSILiver metastases complicate the progression of 50% of colorectal cancers (CRC). More than half of the patients have recurrent remissions with occult metastases for which surgery can be performed in less than 20% of cases. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) induces a T lymphocyte response that is not observed after surgery alone. Combined immunotherapy with RFA may potentiate this effect leading to a distant tumor response. We propose an approach that combines RFA with thermoreversible hydrogel releasing immunomodulatory agents (GMCSF and BCG) at the treatment site.First, we focused on the selection and characterization of the optimal hydrogel formulation by physicochemical techniques. The properties of the hydrogel were studied by rheology and mucoadhesion tests were set up. The residence time of the hydrogel and the protein in the tumor zone was demonstrated by optical imaging. In addition, the release kinetics and integrity of the encapsulated GMCSF were determined. Then, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the combination of RFA with the local deposition of the immunomodulatory hydrogel on a mouse model of colorectal cancer. Indeed, we observed improved survival of animals and complete regression of distant tumors the complete treatment group. This response is characterized by a high level of pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by CD4 and TCD8 T cells and an increase Lymphocytes infiltrating tumors. The immune escape of large lesions was reversed by association with anti-PD1 immunotherapy Indeed, immunotherapy in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer has limited efficacy in patients. Our work has demonstrated the effectiveness of local immunomodulation in improving immune responses in colorectal cancer. These results make it possible to reconsider the use of immunotherapy in patients with non-MSI metastatic CRC

Full textAbstract:
I Sverige drabbas varje år mer än 150 barn av allvarliga skador under infusionsbehandling. I nära samarbete med Hallands sjukhus Halmstad och har ett varningssystem utvecklats för att detektera infiltration under infusionsbehandling. Detta är en produkt som efterfrågats i 30 år av barnläkaren och idéskaparen till projektet, Kent-Åke Henricson. Infiltration är en medicinsk term som beskriver när infusionsvätska läcker ut i omgivande vävnad runt blodvenen. Beroende på vilket läkemedel som infiltrerats kan skadans allvarlighetsgrad variera från en lätt hudreaktion till allvarlig nekros. Vid en allvarlig infiltration förlängs vårdtiden vilket blir kostsamt för sjukhusen. Moneo underlättar arbetet för sjukvårdspersonal likaså ger det barn en trygg och säker behandling. Idag görs rutinkontroller av sjuksköterska upp till varannan timme på droppets insticksställe, vilket är både tidskrävande och störande för patienten. Produkten fungerar som ett kompletterande stöd vid behandling och är anpassad för att användas med befintlig infusionsutrustning. Barn är aktiva patienter och produkten är utformad för att tillåta fysiska rörelser och genom sin lätta vikt och smarta konstruktion är produkten bekväm för patienten och enkel att integrera i sjukvårdspersonalens rutiner. Projektgruppen är stolt och nöjd över att presentera sitt examensarbete Moneo, som resulterat i en produkt som ger säkrare vård och förhindrar onödigt lidande för barn. Ingen patient ska behöva skadas i vården, det är en grundprincip för all vårdverksamhet.Each year more than 150 children suffer from severe injuries during IV infusion therapy in Sweden. In close cooperation with Hallands sjukhus Halmstad, a new warning system has been developed for detection of infiltration during IV infusion. For more than 30 years this kind of product has been requested from pediatrician and innovator Kent- Åke Henricson. Infiltration is a medical term used to describe when you infuse medical drugs into the surrounding tissue instead of into the vein. Depending on the type of medicine that has been infiltrated, the severity of the injury varies from light skin reaction to severe necrosis. A severe infiltration leads to extended hospital stays for the patient, which can be costly for the hospital. Today a nurse does regular checkups every two hours at the puncture site in order to insure that the medicine is being delivered properly. This is very time consuming for medical staff, as well as, annoying for the patient. Our product will function as an additional safe guard during infusion therapy and is adapted to be used with existing infusion devices. Moneo allows for easier monitoring by medical staff while giving children a more safe treatment. Children are active patients and Moneo’s light weight and smart design allows for physical movement and comfort of the patient. It is also easily integrated into the existing procedures and routines of the medical professionals. The project group is proud and happy to present their final thesis, Moneo, which has resulted in a product that can eliminate unnecessary suffering in the children receiving IV infusion therapy thereby providing a more safe treatment option. It is a basic medical principle that no patient should suffer negative side effects of a medical procedure. Moneo can be used to avoid these kinds of concerns.

Full textAbstract:
Subpopulations of tumor infiltrating leukocytes in immunogenic skin tumors were identified with monoclonal antibodies. The tumors studied included primary UV-induced tumors and JB/MS melanomas, which survive in the host by immunosuppression of the immune response. The proportions of nucleated cells in primary UV-induced tumor cell suspensions which reacted with monoclonal antibodies were: 52% Mac-1+, 21% Lyt-1+, 13% Lyt-2+, 7% L3T4+, and 8% IL-2R+. Thus there was a high proportion of cells of the macrophage lineage in the growing UV-induced tumors. In JB/MS melanoma cell suspensions the mean proportion of macrophages was 6.4%, and total T lymphocytes (Lyt-1) averaged only 5.5%. Thus, there was little leukocytes infiltration into JB/MS melanoma, suggesting that chemotaxis was defective. The high level of macrophages and T cells in the primary UV-induced tumors indicates that chemotaxis was intact. Therefore, either the tumorcidal capacities of the macrophages and Tc were insensitive to activated macrophages and to Tc cells.

Les tranchées de rétention / infiltration sont utilisées pour limiter les débits de ruissellement des eaux pluviales urbaines. Bien que techniquement et économiquement performants ces ouvrages sont sous-utilisés. Cette thèse vise à lever certains des obstacles à leur utilisation. L’étude du fonctionnement des tranchées expérimentales de rétention – allure des lignes d’eau et des hydrogrammes produits - a permis d’améliorer les connaissances sur le comportement hydraulique d’une tranchée munie de drains. Elle a en particulier montré que les tranchées remplies avec du matériau granulaire de forte porosité, galet 20-80, se comportaient sur le plan hydraulique plus comme des conduites de forte rugosité que comme des sols. Un autre résultat important est que les échanges d’eau entre les drains et le corps de la tranchée ne semblent pas limités par les fentes de diffusion. Ces connaissances nouvelles ont servi de base à la construction d’un modèle de simulation hydraulique des tranchées de rétention. Une procédure originale a ensuite été mise en place pour accélérer le vieillissement d’une tranchée d’infiltration. Cette procédure a permis d’observer la diminution des capacités d’infiltration de l’ouvrage pour une durée de fonctionnement équivalente à 6 ans. L’objectif de cette partie de la recherche était d’améliorer les connaissances sur le vieillissement et le colmatage des tranchées. Cette étude a permis de montrer que le modèle de Bouwer représente bien le fonctionnement de la tranchée à différents stades de colmatage. Ces résultats ont permis de coupler le modèle de Bouwer avec le modèle de stockThe detention/infiltration trenches are used to limit the flows of urban stormwater. Although they are technically and economically efficient these hydraulic works remain underused. This PhD thesis aims at overcoming some of the obstacles to their use. The study of the way experimental detention trenches work (based on the aspect of water profiles and outflow hydrographs) has allowed to improve knowledge on the hydraulic behaviour of a trench supplied by french drains. It specifically showed that the trenches filled with granular material of strong porosity (gravel 20-80) behave the hydraulic level rather as a pipe with strong roughness than as a soil. Another important result is that water exchanges between the drains and the trench body do not seem to be limited by the diffusion slits. This new knowledge has been used as a basis to build a hydraulic model to simulate the detention trenches behaviour. An original method was then defined to accelerate the ageing of an infiltration trench. This method has made it possible to observe the reduction of the structure’s infiltration capacities for an equivalent operating time of 6 years. The objective of this part of the research was to improve knowledge on trenches ageing and clogging. These results made it possible to couple Bouwer’s model with the storage model

Increases in impervious surfaces associated with urbanization change stream
hydrology by increasing peak flow rates, storm-flow volumes and flood frequency, and
degrade water quality through increases in sediment, nutrient, and bacteria
concentrations. In response to water quality and quantity issues within the Stroubles
Creek watershed, the Town of Blacksburg and Virginia Tech designed and constructed
two innovative stormwater best management practices (BMPs). The goal of this project
was to evaluate the effectiveness of a bioretention cell and a CU-Structural Soilâ ¢

precipitation events were monitored over a period of five months between October 2007
and March 2008. For each storm, inflow and outflow composite samples were collected
for each BMP and analyzed for suspended sediment, total nitrogen, total phosphorus,
fecal coliform bacteria and E-coli bacteria. The inflow and outflow concentrations and
loads, as well as total inflow and outflow volumes and peak flow rates, were then
compared to evaluate how well each BMP reduces stormwater flows, decrease peak
runoff rates and improves water quality of stormwater runoff. Results for the bioretention
cell indicate average reductions in stormwater quantity, sediment, total nitrogen, total
phosphorus and fecal coliform bacteria that exceeded 99% by mass. The CU-Structural
Soilâ ¢ infiltration trench produced reductions in stormwater quantity, total phosphorus
and sediment that averaged 60%, 45% and 51%, respectively. Preliminary bacteria
results indicated that both BMPs served as sources of E-coli, and the infiltration trench
served as a source of fecal coliform bacteria.Master of Science

More efficient water application is generally achieved when the design parameters match actual field conditions. On four sites, Kostiakov infiltration functions were derived from cylinder and blocked furrow infiltrometers and SCS (Soil Conservation Service) intake families according to soil type. An infiltration function was also developed using a hydrodynamic computer model to adjust equation parameters to fit field data. Computer simulations of level furrow irrigation, using each Kostiakov infiltration function, were compared to actual field data. Excluding those functions fit to the field data, Kostiakov infiltration functions obtained from blocked furrow infiltrometers generally provided the most consistent input for level furrow irrigation design and evaluation.

Investigation of infiltration provides insights about the flow of water and transport of contaminants through the vadose zone. Infiltration is governed by prevailing environmental conditions like soil characteristics, plant cover and geologic settings. The main objective was to study preferential flow dominated infiltration at two contrasting hydrologic settings in Texas. For the first study, artificial rainfall was simulated within a plot covered with juniper trees at a karst region of the Edwards Plateau and sub-surface flow was monitored using TDR probes. Sub-surface flow was simulated using HYDRUS-2D. Results demonstrated that sub-surface flow occurred in a tri-modal manner, consisting of flow in karst conduits, planar fractures in the limestone, and soil matrix. Both fracture and matrix flow responses increased with increase in rainfall intensity. During large rainfall events, water exchange was observed between the fractures and matrix. Dye studies indicated that fractures and juniper roots were primary pathways for preferential flow occurring within the plot. The model simulated flow characteristics like exchange processes and differentiated between preferential and conduit flow besides determining approximate van Genuchten parameters for each geologic unit.For the second study, tension infiltrometers were used to conduct infiltration experiments at six soil water pressures (?? = -0.2 to 0 m) in an agricultural field near College Station over a 21 month period. The aim was to determine steady infiltration rate, if, saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ksat, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, K(??) and unsaturated flux density ??(??). Moreover, the effect of varying disc diameters on steady state infiltration rates (if) was also studied. Results demonstrated that infiltration occurred in a bi-modal fashion consisting of preferential flow and matrix flow. Macropores and roots present in the soil resulted in gravity dominated flow at ?? = -0.05 to 0 m for all experiments. Statistical analysis suggested that the soil did not exhibit spatial variability within the plot and the five different disc diameters had no effect on if. Statistically significant differences in if were observed between 0.2 and 0.24 m disc diameters at saturation over the 21 month period. The if values illustrated strong temporal variations based on natural conditions over the 21 month period.

Full textAbstract:
The effort to improve furrow irrigation design and management by use of mathematical models is hampered by the difficulty of obtaining infiltration parameters that adequately describe the infiltration process in furrows. This difficulty is related to the effect on infiltration of the variability of wetted width of a furrow with depth. Detailed field measurements of twelve furrow irrigations were used to develop infiltration parameters based on three different assumptions regarding the variation of wetted width with depth. These infiltration parameters were used as input into a mathematical model of furrow irrigation, SRFR. Comparison of measured advance times, water surface elevations and volume of water infiltrated with these values computed by SRFR indicates that SRFR gives consistent results based on the input parameters.

Full textAbstract:
Uttag av grundvatten är viktigt då det förser nästan hälften av befolkningen i Sverige med dricksvatten. Vid uttag som leder till avsänkning av grundvattennivån kan en inträngning av organiskt material uppstå om det finns ett intilliggande ytvattendrag, ett fenomen som kallas inducerad infiltration. Nackdelarna vid den här typen av läckage från ytvatten är att det är svårt att kontrollerna och att det organiska materialet förbrukar syre, vilket i sin tur kan leda till att järn och mangan löses ut i grundvattenmagasinen. Omformningen från ytvatten till grundvatten går för fort och vattnet renas sämre med risken att också dricksvattenkvalitén försämras. I den här rapporten gjordes en kartläggning som markerade riskområden för inducerad infiltration i Sverige. Dessa områden visade sig finnas jämnt utspridda över hela landet. En närmare undersökning gjordes av mätserier från Gävleåsen och Vanåsen, två åsar som huserar grundvattentäkter. Vanåsen representerades endast av en mycket liten markering i kartläggningen men där visade sig en tydlig ökning av organisk halt och stora problem, medan Gävleåsen var mer synlig i kartan utan att ge något entydigt resultat av ökande halter. Slutsatsen är att där uppförande av vattentäkter planeras måste noggranna analyser utföras för att få en helhetsbild av området, intilliggande ytvattendrag och grundvattenflödets riktningar.The use of groundwater is important as it supplies almost half of the population in Sweden with drinking water. In the case of withdrawals that lead to a lowering of the groundwater level, an intrusion of organic material might occur if there is an adjacent surface watercourse, a phenomenon known as induced infiltration. The disadvantages of this type of leakage from surface water is that it is difficult to control and that the organic material consumes oxygen, which in turn can lead to iron and manganese being dissolved in the groundwater reservoirs. The transformation from surface water to groundwater goes too fast and the water isn’t filtered good enough with the risk that the quality of the drinking water also deteriorates. In this report, a mapping study was made to mark risk areas for induced infiltration in Sweden. These areas proved to be evenly distributed throughout the country. A closer examination was made of series of measurements from Gävleåsen and Vanåsen, two ridges with groundwater sewers. Vanåsen was only represented by a very small mark in the mapping, but there was a clear increase in organic content and major problems, while Gävleåsen was clearly visible in the map without giving any univocal result of increasing concentrations. The conclusion is that where construction of water sources is planned, detailed analyzes must be carried out in order to obtain an overall picture of the area, adjacent surface watercourses and the directions of the groundwater flow.
