Dynamics of conveyer belts using the HHT finite element technique with PID control
The primary purpose of this project has been to formulate two implicit time integration algorithms, apply them to a conveyer belt system which has been discretized in space using finite elements, and compare the response of the system as predicted by the two methods. As both the methods considered …

N-linked glycosylation at position ASN98 of the ALK1 receptor protein: relevance for ALK1 function and HHT pathogenesis
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that results from a mutation of one of two key signaling receptors for the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily: endoglin and activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1). These mutations result in …

Intensity modulated radiation therapy and arc therapy: validation and evolution as applied to tumours of the head and neck, abdominal and pelvic regions
… voor de bestraling van hoofd- en halstumoren (HHT) vormt het onderwerp van het eerste deel van deze thesis. De planningsstrategie voor herbestralingen en bestraling van HHT, uitgaande van de keel en de mondholte wordt beschreven, evenals de eerste klinische resultaten hiervan. IMRT voor tumoren …

Time series analysis and machine learning studies of biophotovoltaic systems
… STL remainder, the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) was applied to decompose current profiles. HHT analysis resulted in more regular and physically meaningful oscillating subcomponents that oscillate with eight discrete time scales. Hypotheses for the genesis of the oscillations were developed …

Investigation of the therapeutic potential of recombinant BMP10 in an adult mouse model of HHT1 and the crosstalk between BMP and VEGF signalling
… Type I Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is caused by mutations in ENG, encoding endoglin protein which is a coreceptor for BMP9 and BMP10. Endothelial-specific, homozygous deletion of Eng in adult mice (Eng-iKOe) has been shown to model the HHT phenotype, with the development of …

Ram performance testing programs in Virginia
… yearlings and ram lambs. Yearling rams' SHT, HHT and BLGTH were highly correlated ( P < . 001), and cannon length was moderately correlated (P < .005) to SHT and HHT. Suffolks were taller than Hampshires and Dorsets. All three breeds made similar gains in SHT within the same year. SC generally …

Error estimation and adaptivity in deformable solid dynamics
… estimators for Newmark's method and for the HHT method. The good performance of these new estimators is investigated in several numerical simulations. The information given by these estimators is the starting point for developing adaptive algorithms. They change automatically the time step …

The Role of Type III Transforming Growth Factor-β Receptor in Regulating ALK1 Signaling and Endothelial Biology
… disease, Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). A co-receptor in the TGF-β superfamily, the type III Transforming Growth Factor-β Receptor (TβRIII), is known to be important for the vasculature, with genetic deletion of TβRIII resulting in embryonic lethality in mice characterized by severe …

Arachidonic acid metabolism by early ovine embryos and the role of prostaglandins in one aspect of embryonic development
… and 12L-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT). Experiment 2 was to determine whether prostaglandins have a role in embryo hatching from the zona pellucida. Ewes were superovulated and bred artificially, and embryos were collected on d 7 of pregnancy. Embryos were incubated with ethanol …

Characterization and agronomic evaluation of biochar amendments in a midwestern loam soil: effects on soybean yield, soil nutrient retention, and leachate quality
… both feedstock and highest heating temperature (HHT) on biochar physicochemical characteristics. Chapter 3 presents a 60-day experiment examining the impact of WSB and WB at 1% and 3% w/w application rates, alone and in combination with mineral fertilizer. Treatments were evaluated for effects on …

Deep forward and reverse phenotyping for genetic discovery in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
… of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or vascular anomaly syndromes. GDF2 mutation carriers were significantly older and had less severe haemodynamics than BMPR2 mutation carriers, and did not constitute a distinct cluster. Additionally, I found a significant correlation between …
