Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Despite demonstrated benefits of lateral positioning, critically ill patients may require prolonged supine positioning to obtain reproducible hemodynamic measurements. OBJECTIVES: TO determine the effect of 30 degree right and left lateral positions on pulmonary artery and pulmonary artery wedge pressures after cardiac surgery in critically ill adult patients. METHODS: An experimental repeated-measures design was used to study 35 patients with stable hemodynamics after cardiac surgery. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 position sequences. Pulmonary artery and pulmonary artery wedge pressures were measured in each position. RESULTS: Measurements obtained from patients in the 30 degree left lateral position differed significantly (all Ps < .05) from measurements obtained from patients in the supine position for pulmonary artery systolic, end-diastolic, and mean pressures. Pulmonary artery wedge pressures did not differ significantly; however, data were available from only 17 subjects. The largest mean difference in pressures between the 2 positions was 2.0 +/- 2.1 mm Hg for pulmonary artery systolic pressures, whereas maximum differences for end-diastolic and pulmonary artery wedge pressures were 1.4 +/- 2.7 mm Hg and 1.6 +/- 2.4 mm Hg, respectively. Clinically significant position-related changes in pressure occurred in 12 (2.1%) of 581 pressure pairs. Clinically significant changes occurred in end-diastolic pressure in 2 subjects and in pulmonary artery wedge pressure in 1 subject. CONCLUSiONS: In patients with stable hemodynamics during the first 12 to 24 hours after cardiac surgery, measurements of pulmonary artery and pulmonary artery wedge pressures obtained in the 30 degree lateral and supine positions are clinically interchangeable.

Abstract:
Background: The Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis is a custom-made dynamic response carbon fiber device. A heel wedge, which sits in the shoe, is an integral part of the orthosis-heel wedge-shoe system. Because the device restricts ankle movement, the system must compensate to simulate plantarflexion and allow smooth forward progression during gait. Objectives: To determine the influence of wedge height and durometer on the walking gait of individuals using the Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis. Study design: Repeated measures. Methods: Twelve individuals walked over level ground with their Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis and six different heel wedges of soft or firm durometer and 1, 2, or 3 cm height. Center of pressure velocity, joint moments, and roll-over shape were calculated for each wedge. Results: Height and durometer significantly affected time to peak center of pressure velocity, time to peak internal dorsiflexion and knee extension moments, time to ankle moment zero crossing, and roll-over shape center of curvature anterior-posterior position. Wedge height had a significant influence on peak center of pressure velocity, peak dorsiflexion moment, time to peak knee extension moment, and roll-over shape radius and vertical center of curvature. Conclusion: Changes in wedge height and durometer systematically affected foot loading. Participants preferred wedges which produced ankle moment zero crossing timing, peak internal knee extension moment timing, and roll-over shape center of curvature anterior-posterior position close to that of able-bodied individuals. Clinical relevance Adjusting the heel wedge is a simple, straightforward way to adjust the orthosis-heel wedge-shoe system. Changing wedge height and durometer significantly alters loading of the foot and has great potential to improve an individual’s gait.

Abstract:
Because most of the asymmetric shaft-parts have relatively large size in the axial direction, single-wedge cross-wedge rolling (CWR) exposes many imperfections, such as the huge roller, higher cost etc. The paper adopted finite element method (FEM) to simulate multi-wedge synchrostep CWR (MS-CWR) based on the typical asymmetric shaft-part, and gained its distribution and characteristics of stress and strain. In the knifing stage, the deformation of work piece only emerges on the local region, but in the stretching stage, most of regions are observed the deformation except two ends of the billet and the transition position between inner and outer wedge of multi-wedges. The results offer theoretical basis for promoting and applying MS-CWR technology on asymmetric shaft-parts.

Abstract:
Salinity and current surveys in the Main Channel of the Fraser River estuary, British Columbia, show that a well-defined salt-wedge intrusion migrates along the channel. Bivariate statistical analyses reveal that when discharge is nearly constant, the position of the salt-wedge is controlled by tidal height. Multivariate analyses of data with large ranges in discharge and tidal height indicate that intrusion location is a function of both discharge and tides. Multiple regression models provide predictive relations for salt-wedge position. Application of a regression model indicates that channel shoaling at the mouth of the river is related to the low-tide position of the salt-wedge. Key words: Fraser River estuary, salt-wedge position, channel shoaling.

Abstract:
The asymmetrical Mach reflection configuration is studied analytically in this paper, using an asymmetrical model extended from a recent symmetrical model and accounting for the new features related to asymmetry of the two wedges. It is found that the two sliplines do not turn parallel to the incoming flow at the same horizontal location and the sonic throat locates at the position where the difference of slopes of the two sliplines vanishes. This allows us to define a new sonic throat compatibility condition essential to determine the size of the Mach stem. The present model gives the height of the Mach stem, declined angle of the Mach stem from vertical axis, sonic throat location and shape of all shock waves and sliplines. The accuracy of the model is checked by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. It is found that the Mach stem height is strongly dependent on asymmetry of the wedge angles and almost linearly dependent on the asymmetry of the wedge lower surface lengths. The Mach stem height is shown to be insensitive to the asymmetry of the horizontal positions of the two wedges. The mechanisms for these observations are explained. For instance, it is demonstrated that the Mach reflection configuration remains closely similar when there is horizontal shift of either wedge.

Abstract:
Even when the stakes of party-building are high, political parties often find their members divided over a key policy position. In post-Reconstruction America, the hot-button issue of excluding Chinese immigrant workers strengthened Democratic cohesion while splitting the ‘party of Lincoln’. Previous research has not completely investigated the role of party competition and cohesiveness in paving the way for passage of the Chinese exclusion laws. In this investigation of the legislative politics of banning the Chinese from 1879 to 1882, it is found that cross-pressured members sometimes facilitate party transformation. The evidence demonstrates that partisan responses to potential wedge issues are a previously unnoticed source of explanation of eventual party position changes.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to attempt to confirm the root cause of wafer damage issue by heavy Al wire wedge bonding and propose some permanent solutions for it. Design/methodology/approach – The infra red–optical beam-induced resistance change (IR-OBIRCH) analysis defines the position of an abnormal hotspot. A cross section and an scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirmed the wafer damage issue and its position. Based on the position of wafer damage, the wedge tool with different life and Al buildup was checked found to be on the wedge tool. Finite element analysis (FEA) modeling analysis and simulation experiment guarantee the Al buildup, and low wedge deformation thickness (WDT) can cause the wafer damage issue. Finally, design of experiment (DOE) experiments are designed to optimize wedge tool dimension and wedge-bond parameters to eliminate wafer damage issue. Findings – Wafer damage issue caused the Vpwr-OUTPUT leakage issue by IR-OBIRCH analysis. Al buildup was found on wedge tool with different life and its size gets larger along with the increase in wedge tool life. Low WDT and bigger Al buildup can cause the wafer damage. Designing new wedge tool and parameters optimization can increase WDT. Research limitations/implications – Because of the limitation of time and resources, finite element method (FEM) modeling and wedge tool dimension could not be studied more deeply. Originality/value – This paper sets an example on how to find out the root cause of wafer damage by a step-by-step analysis and put forward a quick solution accordingly for the issue.

Abstract:
This dissertation is concerned with extensions and wedge products of positive currents. Our study can be considered as a generalization for classical works done earlier in this field. Paper I deals with the extension of positive currents across different types of sets. For closed complete pluripolar obstacles, we show the existence of such extensions. To do so, further Hausdorff dimension conditions are required. Moreover, we study the case when these obstacles are zero sets of strictly k-convex functions. In Paper II, we discuss the wedge product of positive pluriharmonic (resp. plurisubharmonic) current of bidimension (p,p) with the Monge-Ampère operator of plurisubharmonic function. In the first part of the paper, we define this product when the locus points of the plurisubharmonic function are located in a (2p-2)-dimensional closed set (resp. (2p-4)-dimensional sets), in the sense of Hartogs. The second part treats the case when these locus points are contained in a compact complete pluripolar sets and p≥2 (resp. p≥3). Paper III studies the extendability of negative S-plurisubharmonic current of bidimension (p,p) across a (2p-2)-dimensional closed set. Using only the positivity of S, we show that such extensions exist in the case when these obstacles are complete pluripolar, as well as zero sets of C2-plurisubharmoinc functions.
At the time of doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 1: Accepted. Paper 2: Manuscript. Paper 3: Manuscript.

Abstract:
Haemodynamic monitoring is a significant component in the management of critically-ill patients. Flow-directed pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) are a simple and rapid technique for measuring several continuous or intermittent circulatory variables. The PAC is helpful in diagnosis, guidance of therapy, and monitoring therapeutic interventions in various clinical conditions, including myocardial infarction and its complications, non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and severely ill patients.The catheter is inserted through a large vein. The PAC is advanced, after ballooninflation with 1.5 mL of air, through the right ventricle across the pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary artery (PA). Finally, the catheter is advanced to the ‘wedge’ position. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) is identified by a decrease in pressure combined with a characteristic change in the waveform. The balloon should then be deflated and the PA tracing should reappear. Direct measurements include central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, and PAWP, which during diastole represents the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and reflects left ventricular preload. Cardiac output can be measured by thermodilution technique. Other haemodynamic variables can be derived from these measurements. Absolute contraindications are rare. Relative contraindications include coagulopathy and conditions that increase the risk of arrhythmias.

Abstract:
Absolute Time: Rifts in Early Modern British Metaphysics explores the development of absolute time during one of Britain’s richest metaphysical periods, from the 1640s to the 1730s. This study is the first of its kind, although it connects to several existing bodies of literature. The Introduction places Absolute Time in the existing literature, and details it scope with regard to geography, historical period, and topic. The Introduction also sets out Absolute Time’s general developmental theses. First, the complexity of positions on time (and space) defended during this period is under-appreciated. Second, three distinct kinds of absolutism appeared during this wedge of philosophical history: Morean, Gassendist, and Newtonian. Finally, the Introduction provides an overview of the coming chapters.

Abstract:
AbstractVitalism has spent most of the twentieth century, and part of the twenty-first, being perhaps the most misunderstood and reviled philosophy of life, with organicism being a close second (on the latter see (Martindale 2013), although some theorists seek to drive a wedge between the two in favor of a ‘reasonable’, less ‘metaphysical’ position often associated with organicism (Gilbert and Sarkar 2000). As a number of the essays in this collection point out (see especially the contributions by Donohue and Moir) vitalism has been conjoined to fascism and the Nazi horrors, and has been reduced to a series of ahistorical propositions. As both Moir and Donohue emphasize, such associations require more study, but at the same time are fundamentally misleading. Nonetheless, the traditional association of vitalism and fascism as well as vitalism and pseudoscience (or anti-science, as Shmidt underscores) has been remarkably pervasive, and still operates.

Abstract:
Abstract In this work, the multiple defects interaction problem is studied. A crack located near an inclusion is influenced by a wedge disclination dipole. Stress field induced by the disclination affects the crack tip field and yield behavior of the crack. With varying the wedge disclination dipole properties, including strength, position to the crack tip, arm length, etc., the plastic zone size (PZS), the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and the stress intensity factor (SIF) are estimated with the generalized Irwin model. Numerical results showed that the wedge disclination dipole arm length and strength can significantly increase or decrease the values of the CTOD and PZS, depending the disclination dipole positions. The maximum values of the CTOD and the PZS were explored with the change of disclination position.

Abstract:
Abstract A wedge stepping motor, which will index a mechanism, has been designed and fabricated in the surface micromachine SUMMiT (Sandia Ultra-planar Multi-level MEMS Technology) [1] process. This device has demonstrated the ability to index one gear tooth at a time with speeds up to 205 teeth/sec. The wedge stepper motor has the following features, which will be useful in a number of applications. • The ability to precisely position mechanical components. • Simple pulse signals can be used for operation. • Only 2 drive signals are required for operation. • Torque and precision capabilities increase with device size. • The device to be indexed is restrained at all times by the wedge shaped tooth that is used for actuation. This paper will discuss the theory of operation and design of the wedge stepping motor. The fabrication and testing of the device will also be presented.

Abstract:
An optical fiber probe has been frequently employed to measure bubble diameters, velocities, and local void fractions simultaneously in gas-liquid two-phase systems. For the application of the probe to tiny-bubble measurement, one of the authors already developed a Single-Tip Optical fiber Probe (STOP). The purpose of this study is to rapidly improve the measurement accuracy of the S-TOP. A bubble chord length pierced by the S-TOP is obtained. Consequently, the chord length depends on the pierced position. The chord lengths measured by the S-TOP include an error owing to the random positions pierced by the S-TOP; i.e. the measured chord length becomes shorter than the bubble minor axis, with a shift of the contact position towards the outer edge of the bubble. The S-TOP axis crosses the direction of the bubble motion at a random angle. This also causes a miscalculation of the chord lengths. In order to correct these errors in the S-TOP measurement, we need to detect the contact position and the intersection angles. To realize this, using a pre-signal is quite effective. The pre-signal is generated clearly and intensively, only when the S-TOP sensing tip is ground in a wedge shape and the tip touches vertically the center region of the bubble frontal surface. The pre-signal becomes weak and indistinct under the other contact conditions. Making the smart use of these phenomena, we are able to solve the above defects of the S-TOP. First, the relationship between the intensity of the pre-signal and the pierced positions/angles is systematically quantified. Second, a signal processing to detect the pierced positions/angles, based on the relationship, is established. Third, we discuss a mechanism of the pre-signal. We determine the most suitable S-TOP size, tip diameter and wedge-angle, for the most accurate measurement. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our newly proposed method.

Abstract:
Slamming is an important design consideration for aluminum vehicles, which must endure repeated impact events when operating at high speed in waves. Preliminary results from an experimental study of a free-falling aluminum wedge hull is presented to measure the structural response of the bottom plate of a hull. A two-dimensional problem is considered, and pressures and strain are measured on the bottom plating near the centerline. Full-_eld strains will be measured using stereoscopic digital image correlation. The main focus of this paper is on the measurements of position, acceleration and pressure on the bottom plating of the wedge hull as well as calculations of velocity. This experiment is the start of a much larger research endeavor that will contribute to a deeper understanding of fluid-structure interaction of slamming.

Abstract:
Heat transfer in a rotating two-pass trapezium-shaped channel, with staggered 90-deg ribs on both leading and trailing surfaces is experimentally investigated. The hydraulic diameter of the first and second pass is 24.5 mm and 16.9 mm, respectively. The inlet Reynolds number and rotational speed range from 10000 to 50000 and zero to 1000 rpm, respectively, which results in the inlet rotation number varying from zero to 1.0. The heated copper plate technique is employed to measure the regional averaged heater transfer coefficients. Pressure drops are measured by newly designed rotating pressure measurements module. Both ribbed cases and smooth cases are compared to present rib enhancement effect. For non-rotating result, the results show that the trailing surface presents much higher heat transfer than other cases due to the special wedge-shaped geometry. The ribbed wedge-shaped achieves enhanced regional heat transfer performances than the smooth case at all locations. Compared with the non-rotating results in the first pass, heat transfer on both trailing and leading surfaces is enhanced except for the position near the turn region, but weakened on outer surface in stream-wise direction. And at high rotation numbers, the highest maximum heat transfer on railing surface happens at a location of approximately X/D = 10. In the first pass, rotation always enhances heat transfer on the trailing surface as rotation number increases and the rotation-to-stationary Nusselt number ratio reaches to 2.0 at the rotation number of 0.5. The leading and outer surfaces both have a critical rotation number located at Roc = 0.05.

Abstract:
Experiments of cavitation erosion, silt abrasion and their synergetic erosion on Al hydrofoils were made in a testing-section. The erosion depth on hydrofoils was measured, and results showed that the depth value increased gradually with the condition changed from silt abrasion to synergetic erosion (lie due to contemporary action of silt abrasion and cavitation bubble collapse) and meanwhile with the position changed form the front part to the trailing edge of hydrofoil. The microtopography on hydrofoils was observed under the three experimental conditions. The cavitation erosion results appeared as regular-shape pits which differed only in the number per unit area at different position. The silt abrasion patterns was uniform in characteristics around one fixed point on hydrofoil. From the front part to the trailing edge of hydrofoil, the main abrasive wear patterns changed from ploughing type to wedge type. Small scale ploughing or cutting type and large scale wedge type were the main erosion patterns of the synergetic erosion directly caused by solid particles. From the front part to the trailing edge of hydrofoil, the size of small and large scale abrasive wear patterns increased gradually. Combining the analysis and processing of cavitation structure with the silt abrasion and synergetic erosion patterns, a viewpoint about silt abrasion influenced by cavitation was put forward. During the stage of growth of attached cavity, the hydrofoil was eroded by solid particles at small angle as a result of solid particles subjected to cavitation nucleation being accelerated along the surface of hydrofoil, and the erosion patterns were dominated by ploughing or cutting type. During the stage of cavitation cloud collapse in main flow, the hydrofoil was eroded by impact abrasion of solid particles at large angle resulted from solid particles being accelerated to high velocity by micro-jet or pressure wave, and the dominating erosion pattern was wedge type.

Abstract:
Use of Lqh2 mutants (produced at TAU) and rNav1.2a mutants (produced at the US side) for identifying receptor site-3: Based on the fact that binding of scorpion alpha-toxins is voltage-dependent, which suggests toxin binding at the mobile voltage-sensing region, we analyzed which of the toxin bioactive domains (Core-domain or NC-domain) interacts with the DIV Gating-module of rNav1.2a. This analysis was based on the assumption that the dissociation of toxin mutants upon depolarization would vary from that of the unmodified toxin should the substitutions affect a site of interaction with the channel Gating-module. Using a series of toxin mutants (mutations at both domains) and two channel mutants that were shown to reduce the sensitivity to scorpion alpha-toxins, and by comparison of depolarization-driven dissociation of Lqh2 derivatives off their binding site at rNav1.2a mutant channels we found that the toxin Core-domain interacts with the Gating-module of DIV. Details of the experiments and results appear in Guret al (2011). Mapping receptor site 3 at Nav1.2a by extensive channel mutagenesis (Seattle): Since previous studies with photoaffinity labeling and antibody mapping implicated domains I and IV in scorpion alpha-toxin binding, Nav1.2 channel mutants containing substitutions at these extracellular regions were expressed and tested for receptor function by whole-cell voltage clamp. Of a large number of channel mutants, T1560A, F1610A, and E1613A in domain IV had ~5.9-, ~10.7-, and ~3.9-fold lower affinities for the scorpion toxin Lqh2, respectively, and mutant E1613R had 73-fold lower affinity. Toxin dissociation was accelerated by depolarization for both wild-type and mutants, and the rates of dissociation were also increased by mutations T1560A, F1610A and E1613A. In contrast, association rates for these three mutant channels at negative membrane potentials were not significantly changed and were not voltage-dependent. These results indicated that Thr1560 in the S1-S2 loop, Phe1610 in the S3 segment, and Glu1613 in the S3-S4 loop in domain IV participate in toxin binding. T393A in the SS2-S6 loop in domain I also showed a ~3.4-fold lower affinity for Lqh2, indicating that this extracellular loop may form a secondary component of the toxin binding site. Analysis with the Rosetta-Membrane algorithm revealed a three-dimensional model of Lqh2 binding to the voltage sensor in a resting state. In this model, amino acid residues in an extracellular cleft formed by the S1-S2 and S3-S4 loops in domain IV that are important for toxin binding interact with amino acid residues on two faces of the wedge-shaped Lqh2 molecule that are important for toxin action. The conserved gating charges in the S4 transmembrane segment are in an inward position and likely form ion pairs with negatively charged amino acid residues in the S2 and S3 segments (Wang et al 2011; Gurevitz 2012; Gurevitzet al 2013).
