Abstract:
Different molecular weights of polyacrylic acids were prepared through change the molar ratio of acrylic acid (monomer), sodium bisulfate (chain transfer agent) and potassium sulfate (initiator). Using polyacrylic acid as the intercalation agent, the intercalation method was applied to Suzhoutu modification. The paper researched the affections of intercalation agent’s molecular weight on fluidity, thixotropy, absorption rate and plasticity of pulp. The changes in the interplanar spacing of clay were detected by X-ray diffraction analysis. Results showed that appropriate molecular weight of the polymer intercalation agent has little effect on the interlayer structure of Kaolinite, while the effect is obvious to Illite, and processability of the clay was significantly improved.

Abstract:
Deep neural network models have been developed in different fields, bringing many advances in several tasks. However, they have also started to be incorporated into tasks with critical risks. That worries researchers who have been interested in studying possible attacks on these models, discovering a long list of threats from which every model should be defended. The weight modification attack is presented and discussed among researchers, who have presented several versions and analyses about such a threat. It focuses on detecting multiple vulnerable weights to modify, misclassifying the desired input data. Therefore, analysis of the different approaches to this attack helps understand how to defend against such a vulnerability. This work presents a new version of the weight modification attack. Our approach is based on three processes: input data clusterization, weight selection, and modification of the weights. Data clusterization allows a directed attack to a selected class. Weight selection uses the gradient given by the input data to identify the most-vulnerable parameters. The modifications are incorporated in each step via limited noise. Finally, this paper shows how this new version of fault injection attack is capable of misclassifying the desired cluster completely, converting the 100% accuracy of the targeted cluster to 0–2.7% accuracy, while the rest of the data continues being well-classified. Therefore, it demonstrates that this attack is a real threat to neural networks.

Abstract:
Background: Involuntary weight loss may occur during systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT), causing treatment disruption and poorer prognoses. There remain gaps in clinical awareness as to which patients may benefit from nutritional interventions that aim to prevent unintended weight loss during SACT. We utilised England’s population-level cancer registry data, conducting a pan-cancer assessment of patient weight loss during SACT. We aimed to identify cancers with weight loss-associated treatment modifications, potential beneficiaries of nutritional intervention. Methods: This cross-sectional study used England’s Cancer Analysis System database, including SACT-treated adults with one tumour and ⩾2 weight recordings between 2014 and 2018. Binary weight loss (threshold: 2.5%) was derived from patients’ most negative weight change from first SACT weight recording. The Martin et al. body mass index-adjusted weight loss grading system (BMI-WLG) was assigned. We describe binary weight loss, BMI-WLG and treatment modification status by cancer. Multivariate logistic regression models of weight loss (binary and BMI-WLG) and a composite outcome of patient treatment-modification status by cancer were produced. Results: Our study population contained 200,536 patients across 18 cancers; 28% experienced binary weight loss during SACT. Weight loss patients were more likely to have multiple types of treatment modifications recorded across all cancers. Regression analyses included 86,991 patients. Binary weight loss was associated ( p < 0.05) with higher likelihood of treatment modification in; colon [Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.72, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42, 2.07]; gynaecologic (excl. ovarian) (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.01); stomach (OR = 1.6, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.06); lung (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.58); leukaemia (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.55); head and neck (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.65) and oesophageal (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.64) cancers. In lung, colon, and grouped gastro-intestinal cancers, association between BMI-WLG and treatment modification increased by WLG. Discussion: Our study is a wide assessment of weight loss during SACT using England’s cancer registry data. Across different cancers we found patients have weight loss-associated treatment modifications during SACT, a precursor to poorer prognoses. Our findings highlight cancers that may benefit from improved nutritional intervention during SACT.

Abstract:
Along with the unique flight performance indicators and economic indicators that characterize heavy transport aircraft, the priority is also to ensure the basing for their heavier modifications at the airfields declared for the base aircraft. This problem arises at the very early stage of the modification creation, when its main parameters such as the gross mass at takeoff and thrust-to-weight ratio are formed. This is due to the very essence of creating a modification ‑ increasing its carrying capacity (which leads to increase in the gross mass at takeoff and flight range ) with an increased payload by increasing the mass of fuel on board. Ensuring growth of flight and hour , performance underlies the creation of all modifications of transport category aircraft. For heavier modifications than their base aircraft, it is further complicated by the fact that the base models are based on the runways of the second and first class airfields, which creates an insurmountable limitation on the available runway length. The second limitation is the value of the decision-making speed during takeoff, in case of failure of the critical engine during the takeoff run, which predetermines the required length of the runway. Since the takeoff masses of aircraft modifications of this type continue to increase, the problem of their basing on the runways of existing airfields arises by forming the takeoff weight relationship – decision-making speed in case of a critical engine failure ‑ thrust-to-weight ratio, providing the basing of a heavier modification at the airfield declared for the base aircraft . To implement this condition, a model for determining the speed , in which a safe termination of the takeoff run is possible in the event of a critical engine failure. The resulting model allows to take into account a number of restrictions due to the properties of heavy aircraft, such as the minimum and maximum thrust of the cruise engines, which makes it possible to make reasonable recommendations in the operating rules for aircraft of this type. Taking into account the expressions obtained to determine , a model has been formed to determine and assess the required thrust-to-weight ratio of a heavier modification by condition for modifications with a takeoff weight of more than 300 tons. It has been established that the required relative thrust-to-weight ratio should be within . Defining parameters such as , and is the basis for the implementation of other modification changes in the heavy transport aircraft.

Abstract:
The prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity continues to rise in the United States (US). Immediate health consequences are being observed, and long-term risks are mounting within the pediatric population, secondary to obesity. The hallmark of prevention and treatment of obesity in children and adolescents includes lifestyle modification (i.e., dietary modification, increased physical activity, and behavioral modifications). However, when intensive lifestyle modification is insufficient to reach weight loss goals, adjunctive pharmacotherapy is recommended. Among the group of weight-loss medications, orlistat is the only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved prescription drug for the treatment of overweight and obese adolescents. Other medications, including metformin, need larger studies to establish their role in treatment. No single approach to management of pediatric obesity is the answer, given the complexity of the disorder and the many reasons for failure. Evidence of weight loss medications in addition to lifestyle modification supports short-term efficacy for treatment of obese children and adolescents, although long-term results remain unclear.

Abstract:
Selection of the optimal tactics of pregnancy and childbirth greatly depends on the expected weight of the fetus. Frequency of perinatal mortality and morbidity increased in grоup with growth retardation and fetal macrosomia. The aim of the study was a modification of ultrasonic methods for determining the expected fetal weight. Materials and methods. On the basis of maternity hospitals Trans-Baikal Region in the years 2013-2015 was held retrospective and prospective analysis of 210 labor histories, which were divided into 3 equal groups: 1 group - pregnant women with a body mass index (BMI) for Quetelet less than 24, group 2 - with a BMI from 24 to 30, group 3 - with a BMI more than 30. In order to determine the expected fetal weight by ultrasonic methods used formula of Hadlock, Shephard and Demidov. The error in determining fetal weight standard methods more than 250 g, which identified the need to establish new precise formula. The increase in the error in determining fetal weight at border gestation due to the lack of assessment of fetal tissue density. On the basis of mathematical and 3d-modeling of the body’s volume, depending on its mass determined pattern change of the average density of fetal tissue, depending on the gestational age, which is expressed by the formula: ρ = 0,833 + 0,004475GA, where ρ - the average density of tissue, GA - gestational age. Through a comprehensive analysis of ultrasound data’s fetometry and medium-density tissue defined fetal weight formula: M = (0,2777 + 0,001492 × GA) × OFD × AC × (Fe + Ti + Hu + Ra), where GA - gestational age (weeks), AC - abdominal circumference (cm), OFD - occipitofrontal diameter (cm), Fe - femur’s length (cm), Ti - tibia’s length (cm), Hu - humerus’s length (cm), Ra - radius’s length (cm), 0.2777 and 0.001492 - digital prognostic factors. In calculating the weight of the fetus according to the proposed formula ultrasonic average error does not exceed 150 g. Thus, the method has a smaller error compared to the standard, and can be used to reliably determine fetal weight in II and III trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract:
In 2011 the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, ITRS 2011, outlined how the semiconductor industry should proceed to pursue Moore’s Law past the 18nm generation. It envisioned a concept of ‘More than Moore’, in which existing semiconductor technologies can be exploited to enable the fabrication of diverse systems and in particular systems which integrate non-digital and biologically based functionality. A rapid expansion and growing interest in the fields of microbiology, electrophysiology, and computational neuroscience occurred. This activity has provided significant understanding and insight into the function and structure of the human brain leading to the creation of systems which mimic the operation of the biological nervous system. As the systems expand a need for small area, low power devices which replicate the important biological features of neural networks has been established to implement large scale networks. In this thesis work is presented which focuses on the modification and storage of synaptic weights in hardware neural networks. Test devices were incorporated on 3 chip runs; each chip was fabricated in a 0.35μm process from Austria MicroSystems (AMS) and used for parameter extraction, in accordance with the theoretical analysis presented. A compact circuit is presented which can implement STDP, and has advantages over current implementations in that the critical timing window for synaptic modification is implemented within the circuit. The duration of the critical timing window is set by the subthreshold current controlled by the voltage, Vleak, applied to transistor Mleak in the circuit. A physical model to predict the time window for plasticity to occur is formulated and the effects of process variations on the window is analysed. The STDP circuit is implemented using two dedicated circuit blocks, one for potentiation and one for depression where each block consists of 4 transistors and a polysilicon capacitor, and an area of 980µm2. SpectreS simulations of the back-annotated layout of the circuit and experimental results indicate that STDP with biologically plausible critical timing windows over the range 10µs to 100ms can be implemented. Theoretical analysis using parameters extracted from MOS test devices is used to describe the operation of each device and circuit presented. Simulation results and results obtained from fabricated devices confirm the validity of these designs and approaches. Both the WP and WD circuits have a power consumption of approximately 2.4mW, during a weight update. If no weight update occurs the resting currents within the device are in the nA range, thus each circuit has a power consumption of approximately 1µW. A floating gate, FG, device fabricated using a standard CMOS process is presented. This device is to be integrated with both the WP and WD STDP circuits. The FG device is designed to store negative charge on a FG to represent the synaptic weight of the associated synapse. Charge is added or removed from the FG via Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling. This thesis outlines the design criteria and theoretical operation of this device. A model of the charge storage characteristics is presented and verified using HFCV and PCV experimental results. Limited precision weights, LPW, and its potential use in hardware neural networks is also considered. LPW offers a potential solution in the quest to design a compact FG device for use with CTS. The algorithms presented in this thesis show that LPW allows for a reduction in the synaptic weight storage device while permitting the network to function as intended.

Abstract:
A fast corn grading system can replace the traditional method in unofficial corn grading locations. The initial design of the system proved that it can classify corn kernels with a high success rate. This study tested the robustness of the system against samples from different locations with different moisture contents. The experimental results were compared with the official grading results for 3 out of the 6 samples. This study also tested the limitations of the segmentation algorithm. The results showed that 60 to 70 kernels in a 100 cm2 could be correctly segmented in a relatively short running time. Classification accuracy would improve with modifications to the system, including increased training samples of damaged kernels, uniform illumination, color calibration, and improved weight approximation of the kernels.

Abstract:
Twelve highly trained collegiate wrestlers were studied to determine if performance of a six-minute arm crank task can be maintained by feeding a hypocaloric, high percentage carbohydrate diet to athletes during a four day weight loss period. Subjects were placed on a hypocaloric, low percentage (41.9%) carbohydrate diet (LC) and a hypocaloric, high percentage (65.9%) carbohydrate diet (HC) during two separate weight loss periods. The reduction in work performed during six minutes of arm cranking from pre- to post-weight loss was 0.9% and 8.2% for HC and LC treatments, respectively. Post exercise lactate measures were significantly lower and pH values were significantly higher pre- and post-weight loss under the LC treatment as compared to the HC treatment. Pre-exercise glycerol values were significantly higher post weight loss as compared to pre weight loss under both diet treatments. Profile of Mood State (POMS) scores indicate a negative effect of weight loss on psychological well being of the subjects. This negative effect is exacerbated during weight loss under the LC as compared to HC treatment. These data indicate a significant reduction in performance following a four day weight loss of 6.1% under the LC treatment, while performance is maintained following the HC treatment.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the role of mood in adherence to changes in behaviour required for weight maintenance following weight loss in an obese sample. Significant increases in physical activity are necessary for successful weight maintenance, yet this change in lifestyle remains challenging for many. Anecdotally, the importance of being in the 'right mood' to make lifestyle changes is frequently reported. A systematic review of the weight maintenance literature revealed that a number of behaviour change techniques were associated with effective weight maintenance interventions. Therefore, the current randomised control study employed relevant behaviour change techniques within two goal setting interventions to improve either daily steps walked or mood compared to a control group in a weight loss programme cohort. The number of daily steps walked and mood were evaluated and the following questions were addressed: 1) In an obese population enrolled in a weight loss programme, do goal-setting interventions increase the number of steps walked compared to those in a control group? 2) Does the mood score differ for those participants in the mood improvement intervention group compared to those in the steps-walked intervention or control groups? 3) Does weight change differ for those individuals who have shown mood improvement compared to those whose mood is unchanged/worsened? The primary outcomes of steps walked, mood and weight were recorded immediately after intervention and again after unsupervised follow up 6-months later. The results showed that all groups increased the number of steps walked but not significantly so. This increase was greatest for the steps-walked group during the active intervention period but greatest for the mood intervention group during the unsupervised follow-up period. Mood improved significantly for all groups and was associated with significantly increased weight loss at follow-up. A trend for increased steps walked being associated with improved mood was observed in the 6-month follow up period. These findings highlight the links between mood and continued participation in lifestyle behaviour changes required for weight maintenance. Future research priorities are outlined for this field.

Abstract:
Obesity is commonly considered a risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis [1]. Previous studies have shown that reductions in body weight correspond to reductions in total knee joint compressive forces (as calculated by inverse dynamics) [2–4]. A recent study showed that external knee load measurements are not strong predictors of internal knee contact forces [5]. Therefore, direct measurement of knee contact force is important for understanding how body weight changes impact knee joint loading. Force-measuring knee implants can directly measure internal knee contact forces [6].

Abstract:
Description: Stress analysis of a GT engine fan shaft was performed for IN718 and Ti. A FE package NISA gave stiffness for unit radial and tangential loads. Results obtained with IN718 were compared with an earlier study by SNECMA. An extension of the study for weight reduction was done with Ti material parameters. The design was adapted to simplify a spring bearing mount for the HP (#3) bearing. A convoluted spring bearing mount suggested by SNECMA was redesigned using the results for the conical fan shaft to give a more gradual stress distribution. Such a structure would be less likely to yield in LCF and catastrophic failure modes. Comparison between computed results and tabulated results for conical shells was attempted. Results depended on loading and point of application and mounting. For instance, the fan shaft was fixed on the main rotor and a force applied to the rim and vice versa. Variation in the number of nodes and order of approximation also affected the results. Regions of maximum stress were shown in contour plots, while displacement studies gave modes of deflection.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent advances in polymer surface science have been largely due to the well-recognized need to control the surface properties of polymer materials and the development of sophisticated surface-specific characterization techniques. While the majority of the research and development efforts have been mostly focused on bulk properties, demands for low surface energy polymers exhibiting low adhesion (friction) and good biocompatibility have generated significant interest on physical and chemical properties of polymer surfaces. For instance, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) are the principal materials used to replace damaged cartilage in total joint arthroplasty and to fabricate catheters for balloon angioplasty, respectively. Therefore, surface treatments to improve adhesion and biocompatibility of these polymer surfaces are of paramount importance in the medical field. Radio frequency (rf) plasma-enhanced surface modification (PESM) provides an effective means for altering the biochemical properties of polymer surfaces without affecting the bulk behavior. The main process steps of PESM are discussed here and its effectiveness is demonstrated by representative friction coefficient, contact angle, and biocompatibility results for LDPE and UHMWPE surfaces treated with various plasma chemistries.

Abstract:
This report documents the findings from SPR-4230 (Alternative Quality Assurance Methods for Compacted Subgrade). The main objective of SPR-4230 involved establishing performance-related quality assurance (QA) test methods for pavement subgrade construction. Because INDOT generally prefers specifying subgrade treatment type IBC (i.e., 14-in. cement modified subgrade), this study focused on performance-based QA test methods for constructing cement modified subgrade. Moreover, INDOT prefers using light weight deflectometer (LWD) for chemically modified subgrade construction acceptance, so this study aimed to use LWD deflection measurements as performance-related construction acceptance criteria. A laboratory study was performed to relate LWD deflections with resilient modulus that is the key subgrade performance-related parameter in pavement design. In addition, LWD deflections were related with unconfined compressive strength increase that is the key parameter in chemical soil modification mix design. A rigorous field study consisting of LWD testing and falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing at INDOT new pavement construction sites was conducted to verify the laboratory developed relationship. Recommendations for implementing results of this study into cement modified subgrade construction acceptance is provided, as are recommendations for future research.

United States Department of Agriculture, November 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2014.7699855.bard.

Abstract:
Original objectivesThe objectives of this project were to evaluate the growth performance, meat yield and quality attributes of broiler strains widely differing in their genetic potential under normal temperature vs. warm temperature (short and long-term) conditions. Strain differences in breast muscle accretion rate, metabolic responses under heat load and, gross and histopathological changes in breast muscle under thermal load was also to be characterized. BackgroundTremendous genetic progress has been made in broiler chicken growth rate and meat yield since the 1950s. Higher growth rate is driven by higher rates of feed intake and metabolism, resulting in elevated internal heat production. Hot rearing conditions negatively affect broiler growth by hindering dissipation of heat and may lead to a lethal elevation in body temperature. To avoid heat-induced mortality, broilers reduce feed intake, leading to depressed growth rate, lower weight gain, reduce breast meat yield and quality. Thus, the genetic potential of contemporary commercial broilers (CCB) is not fully expressed under hot conditions. Major conclusions, solutions, and achievementsResearch conducted in Israel focused on three broiler strains – CCB, Featherless, Feathered sibs (i.e., sharing similar genetic background). Complimentary research trials conducted at Auburn utilized CCB (Cobb 500, Cobb 700, Ross 308, Ross 708), contrasting their performance to slow growing strains. Warm rearing conditions consistently reduced feed intake, growth rate, feed efficiency, body weight uniformity and breast muscle yield, especially pronounced with CCB and magnified with age. Breast meat quality was also negatively affected, as measured by higher drip loss and paler meat color. Exposure to continuous or short-term heat stress induced respiratory alkalosis. Breast muscle histomorphometrics confirmed enhanced myofiber hypertrophy in CCB. Featherless broilers exhibited a significant increase in blood-vessel density under warm conditions. Rapid growth and muscle accretion rate was correlated to various myopathies (white striping, woody and necrotic) as well as to increases in plasma creatinekinase levels. Whether the trigger(s) of muscle damage is loss of cellular membrane integrity due to oxidative damage or tissue lactate accumulation, or to loss of inter-compartmental cation homeostasis is yet to be determined. Based on genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism array genotyping, identification of the gene with the recessive mutation Scaleless (sc) facilitated the development a dCAPS assay to discriminate between sc carrier (sc/+) and non-carrier (+/+) individuals. ImplicationsThis project confirmed that featherless broiler strains grow efficiently with high yield and quality of breast meat, even under warm rearing conditions that significantly depress the overall performance of CCB. Therefore, broiler meat production in hot regions and climates can be substantially improved by introducing the featherless gene into contemporary commercial broiler stocks. This approach has become more feasible with the development of dCAPS assay. A novel modification of the PCR protocol (using whole blood samples instead of extracted DNA) may contribute to the efficient development of commercial featherless broiler strains. Such strains will allow expansion of the broiler meat production in developing countries in warm climates, where energy intensive environmental control of rearing facilities are not economical and easily achievable.
