Architectural disruption in aerospace
… (MOSA) requirements represent a significant disruption to this mode of competition. The United States Department of Defense intends to accelerate the rate of aerospace innovation and inject additional competitiveness into the procurement process through the modularization of its products and …

The Petroleum Disruption Response System
The petroleum disruptions experienced in 1973 and 1979 demonstrated to the Department of Defense (DoD) that, for numerous reasons, the normal support for DoD requirements could rapidly deteriorate. Crude oil shortages caused DoD's historical supplier to prorate or completely cease deliveries under …

Disruption prediction at JET [Joint European Torus]
… of the plasma magnetic confinement, known as disruption, is one of the major issue in a nuclear fusion machine as JET (Joint European Torus), Disruptions pose very serious problems to the safety of the machine. The energy stored in the plasma is released to the machine structure in few …

Mechanical algal disruption for efficient biodiesel extraction
… prohibitive. One route to improving this is via disruption of the cells prior to lipid extraction, which can significantly increase energy recovery. Unfortunately, several obvious disruption techniques require more energy than can be gained. This dissertation examines the use of microbubbles to …

Disruption of Prepulse Inhibition by Apomorphine Across Modalities
… In the present study, it was hypothesized that disruption of PPI by APO would also occur with a visual prepulse stimulus, and further, that a range of ISIs would provide a more precise index of any such disruption. It was also hypothesized that PPI of the auditory startle response would be …

Prediction-enhanced Routing in Disruption-tolerant Satellite Networks
… introduces a framework for enhancing DTN (Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networking) routing in dynamic LEO satellite constellations based on the prediction of contacts. The solution is developed with a clear focus on the requirements imposed by the 'Ring Road' use case, mandating a concept for …

Disruption of UHRF1 expression in chicken DT40 cells
Epigenetics regulate the gene expression while imposing no change in the underlying gene sequence constitution. The abnormal regulation of epigenetics is associated with the development and progression of cancer. Among the epigenetic regulators, UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domain …

The cutting edge : deviant realisms and cinematic disruption
… which undermine realism and the use of disruption as a specific strategy for communicating disorder or elusive experience. It examines the expression of both fantasy and disruption with an emphasis on film editing. This study considers editing as the foundation of narrative structure in …

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF CIRCADIAN DISRUPTION BY NIGHTTIME LIGHT EXPOSURE
… factor for the circadian system and disruption in clock genes is associated with significant changes in metabolism, I next investigated the effects of exposure to LAN on the circadian system (Chapter 6). Exposure to dimly lit nights attenuated core circadian clock rhythms in both the …

Circadian Disruption by Light at Night: Implications for Mood
Life on Earth has adapted to a consistent 24-h solar cycle. Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior remain synchronized to the environment using light as the most potent entraining cue. During the past century, however, the widespread adoption of electric light has led to `round-the-clock’ …

Effects of GABA on inflammation and intestinal barrier disruption
<p> Gut dysbiosis and intestinal barrier disruption have been linked to multiple sclerosis (MS). Our previous works show that experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induction modifies the gut's microbiota composition, reducing frequencies of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing …

Negotiating meaning following infertility and disruption to life plans
Infertility is seen as a distressing crisis for the couple and individual. There has tended to be too heavy a focus on the female’s experience and not enough attention given to couples who go through IVF together. The aim of this research was to investigate how heterosexual couples co-construct …

Disruption of mitochondrial redox homeostasis as a cellular signal.
… compared to a redox signal stemming from disruption of mitochondrial thiol homeostasis. Furthermore, it is important to distinguish between disturbing the cytosolic and mitochondrial protein antioxidant systems. I characterised the effects of mitochondrial thiol homeostasis disruption on …

Incorporating Wider Infrastructure Disruption in Urban Flooding Resilience Investments
… infrastructure (CI) is essential for mitigating disruptions caused by natural hazards, particularly in flood-prone urban areas. This research explores the application of resilience concepts, CI interdependency models, and quantitative assessment frameworks to enhance infrastructure resilience. A …

Anarchival dance: choreographic archives and the disruption of knowledge
… for archival questioning and epistemological disruption, enacted through the body. Through a critically reflexive thinking-through of choreographic practice, alongside an interpretivist analysis of performance works by six contemporary South African artists, the thesis surfaces specific ways …

Disruption mitigation and real-time detection of locked modes
Disruptions are one of the largest problems facing tokamaks. In a large-scale experiment such as ITER, disruptions may cause crippling damage and severe setbacks in experimentation. One method for disruption mitigation involves the use of a gas jet which has been tested on both stable plasmas and …
