Investigation of Cavity Wall TiesPitoni, Beniamino 08 1900 (has links)
<p> This report contains the results of an exploratory investigation into the strength (compressive and tensile) of the most commonly used cavity wall ties. Z, Truss, Ladder and Corrugated metal ties were tested in the Applied Dynamics Laboratory at McMaster University.</p> <p> A total of 110 specimens were constructed and tested. Fifty-five specimens were tested in compression, another 55 specimens were tested in tension. The influence of different cavity widths and lengths of mortar imbedment on the strengths of the ties were also
investigated.</p> <p> The ultimate load capacity, for each tie investigated, was related to loading on a unit of wall area by taking into consideration the recommended spacings for each tie.</p> <p> A strength comparison of the ties tested was made. Finally, conclusions were drawn and recommendations made.</p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)

In jars: The integration of historical anatomical and pathological potted specimens in undergraduate educationSutton-Butler, Aoife, Croucher, Karina, Garner, Pip, Bielby-Clarke, Keren, Farrow, Matthew 16 March 2023 (has links)
No / Across the UK, many anatomy departments possess historical potted wet cadaveric specimen collections, such as organs preserved in fluid-filled jars. Although considered obsolete by some for anatomical education, there is immense potential for their utilisation in teaching, particularly in institutes that have limited access to cadavers or have had body donation rates impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Another benefit of historical potted cadaveric specimens is that severe pathology, often not seen today, can be observed by the student.
The aim of this study was to understand students' opinions and attitudes towards the use of historical anatomical and pathological potted wet specimen collections in undergraduate science teaching. Following their integration into the anatomy program of a Clinical Sciences degree, seventy-seven undergraduate students completed a five-point Likert questionnaire on their perspective for the integration of the historical potted specimens in anatomical education. This study was approved by the Research Ethics committee at the University of Bradford RESULTS: The study demonstrated that 90 % of students found the collection useful in teaching, 92 % would like to see the collection used more in teaching, and 76 % of students found that the collection encouraged them to consider medical ethics and the donor.
In conclusion, the survey findings suggest that further utilisation of historical potted wet specimen collections would be useful in the teaching of anatomy and that these collections could potentially encourage conversations on post-mortem bodily integrity, ethics, and organ donation.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of anaerobic organisms isolated from clinical specimens at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic HospitalNaidoo, Sudeshni 15 April 2010 (has links)
MSc Med, Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Faculty of Health Sciences,University of the Witwatersrand, 2009 / Anaerobic bacteria cause serious life-threatening infections such as endocarditis, sepsis,
intra abdominal, pleuro-pulmonary and central nervous systems infections. Most infections
are polymicrobial and involve aerobes and anaerobes. Empiric therapy is generally based
on the expected pathogens and the particular type of infection. Even when specimens are
cultured and anaerobes identified, not all laboratories perform susceptibility testing. The
clinician often relies on published surveillance data when selecting treatment regimens.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Resistance can vary significantly and patterns differ geographically, and even within units
of the same hospital.
From June 2005 until February 2007, 180 consecutive anaerobes isolated from relevant,
non- repetitive clinical specimens were tested routinely with the E test method for
susceptibility to amoxicillin/ clavulanate (XL), clindamycin (Cm), metronidazole (Mz),
penicillin (Pg), ertapenem (Etp), cefoxitin (Fx), ceftriaxone (Tx), chloramphenicol (Cl),
and piperacillin/tazobactam (Ptc). The results were read after 48hr incubation in anaerobic
conditions. Specimen distribution was as follows: abdominal fluid (3), abscess (7),
abdominal abscess (4), aspirates (3), blood cultures (27), bone (3), breast (3), drainage
fluid (2), empyema (1), fluids (36), other (4), placental (1), pleural fluid (2), pus (41),
tissues (34), umbilicus (1) and unknown sites (8).
Bacteroides fragilis was isolated from 81 (45%) clinically significant specimens, followed
by Clostridium perfringens 23 (13%), Peptostreptococcus anaerobius 15 (8%) and
Prevotella melaniniogenicus 15 (8%). B. fragilis demonstrated a 97.5% resistance to
penicillin and 12.3% resistance to metronidazole. C. perfringens exhibited no resistance to
penicillin and metronidazole while P. anaerobius had 40% resistance to penicillin and no
resistance to metronidazole. P. melaninogenicus was resistant to penicillin in 60% and
6.7% to metronidazole. Overall, chloramphenicol, piperacillin/tazobactam, ertapenem and
amoxicillin/clavulanate demonstrated the highest activity to anaerobic isolates, 100%,
99.4%, 97.2% and 96.7%, respectively. Among the 180 tested anaerobes a total of 8.9%
resistance has been observed with metronidazole and 81.7% sensitivity with clindamycin.
Periodic surveillance to monitor the susceptibility profile of the B. fragilis group and other
anaerobic organisms is recommended to create empirical guidelines for appropriate use of
antimicrobial agents.

Opening the senses : the Gospel book as an instrument of salvation as articulated by the minor decoration and full-page illustrations of the Book of KellsPulliam, Heather January 1998 (has links)
This thesis argues that the minor decoration and full-page images of the Book of Kells reflects a cohesive theme: the role of the gospel book in man's apprehension of God. This is demonstrated by an examination of the decorated initials and smaller images in relation to the text and a reinterpretation of the full-page images within the context of patristic commentary and the writings of the period. It is argued that the decorated initials and minor imagery are not merely ornamental but instead emphasize and comment upon the text. They do so in three ways: Firstly, they draw the eye to passages of gospel text that describe the visual apprehension and recognition of Christ as the Son of God. In demonstrating this, the assumption that the decorated initials operate in a traditional manner, such as marking lections or Eusebian sections, is rejected. The atypical function of the decoration, highlighting themes rather than liturgical or content divisions, indicates the unique function of the manuscript. Secondly, it is argued that the decorated initials employ the metaphorical imagery of the Psalms to describe the distinction between the manuscript's audience who acknowledge Christ as the Son of God, and those described within the text as confused and unable to recognize the identity of Christ despite his presence in their midst. Thirdly, the imagery of the decorated initials describes the manner in which the Godhead is literally contained within the text of the gospel book. The larger images also emphasize the recognition of Christ and distinguish between those who look to the Word of God and those who fail to do so. Additionally, the full-page imagery instructs the audience in the use of the manuscript. To an even greater extent than the minor decoration, the larger images articulate the role of the Gospel book and liturgy as a visible guide to an invisible deity and shield against temptation.

Evolutionary Aspects of Huerfano Butte ColoradoDurant, Dolores G. 04 1900 (has links)
<p> Gabbroic dyke and syenitic plug intrusives have been sampled and studied across Huerfano Butte. Petrography and geochemical analyses were performed on selected specimens; from these analyses chemical variation diagrams have been prepared. Crystal Size Distribution analyses have been done on magnetites and olivines to determine crystal nucleation and growth rate in the dyke. These data have been used to infer aspects of the evolution of Huerfano Butte.</p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Science (BSc)

Structural Analysis along the Grenville Front near Sudbury, OntarioHsu, Mao-Yang 07 1900 (has links)
<p> Amphibolites and gneisses of the "Grenville province" and
granitic rocks of the Chief Lake batholith near Sudbury show the effects
of several phases of deformation. </p> <p> The first phase of deformation affected previously metamorphosed rocks of the "Grenville province" together with enclosed
pegmatite sills, and formed congruous parasitic S- and Z-folds. The
rocks were then subjected to faulting and local refolding. About
1, 750 m. y. ago, the Chief Lake batholith was intruded and truncated
the previous folds. Finally, all the rocks were subjected to a simultaneous
regional metamorphism and strong deformation. </p> <p> During this final deformation, all the previous linear
structures were rotated to parallel the strongly-developed regional
mineral lineations. The high-grade rocks of high amphibolite facies
to the S. E. of the cataclastic zone flowed upwards from a greater
depth than the rocks of greenschist facies to the N. E. of the cataclastic
zone. The sharp increase in metamorphic grade occurs
within the cataclastic zone which is about one mile wide. </p> <p> The final progressive deformation of the rocks is compared
with the constant-volume deformation ellipsoid as initiated from the
uniaxial prolate type through the constriction type to the plane- strain
type; wherein the direction of maximum elongation plunges moderately
to the S. S. E. and parallels the regional mineral lineations, the passive
fold axes, the elongations of conical folds, and the original flow directions (shown by deformed mineral lineations) of slip folds; while the
direction of maximum shortening generally plunges to the N. W. and is
normal to the penetrative foliations and the active axial planes of slip
folds. </p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
