QEEG profile changes following three total body modification (TBM) treatments
… study was to determine if the application of TBM would affect baseline states of QEEG activity. It was hypothesized that after completing three treatments of TBM there would be an increase of left hemispheric activity as well as an increase in mood states. This is hypothesized because …

Dysphagia in children (0-12 years) recovering from tuberculosis meningitis (TBM)
Background information: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe extra-pulmonary complication of tuberculosis (TB) and also the most common bacterial meningitis in the Western Cape. The consequences of childhood TBM include poor motor and neurological outcomes which could lead to dysphagia. …

Developing a system to measure rheology of conditioned soil for soft-ground TBM tunneling
… Pressure Balance (EPB) Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) has been the most significant. EPB TBMs use the excavated muck in the machine chamber as a supporting medium before moving it to the muck haulage system. This is conducted to achieve the desired functionality of the conditioned muck, such as …

Centrifuge modelling of the impact of mechanised tunnelling on piled foundations using a miniature TBM
… carried out using tunnel boring machines or TBMs. Understanding the stress relief and soil deformations taking place in the soil mass around the tunnel boring machine is key to analysing the complex problem of tunnel-soil-structure interaction. The cost and complexity associated with field …

Investigations into HIV-associated tuberculous meningitis
[Background] Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a common form of tuberculosis in high TB incidence settings. However, the burden of disease and outcome in affected adults is unknown in Cape Town. The diagnosis of TBM is often challenging, particularly in HIV co-infected patients and no standardized …

Travel based multitasking on the Mumbai Local and Metro : measurement, classification and variation
Review of travel based multitasking (TBM) behavior has shown that activities performed during travel is of growing interest in the field of transportation planning and mobility behavior. There is a lack of literature looking at this subject in cities in developing countries. This thesis examines …

Imaging ahead of a tunnel boring machine with DC resistivity: a laboratory and numerical study
Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are powerful tools for tunneling and underground construction, which excavate material and install a segmental concrete tunnel liner for support. However, unknown ground conditions pose a significant risk to tunneling operations and any damage to the machine can be …

Optimisation considerations for the measurement of human muscle power
… forces that are based on total-body mass values (TBM). Conceptually, selecting an optimal resistive force based on total-body mass may not be the best approach. Resistive forces that reflect the mass of the lean tissue specifically involved in the performance of the diagnostic task may be more …

Cognitive outcomes in adults with HIV-associated Tuberculous Meningitis
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a common cause of meningitis in adults in South Africa (1-3), second only to cryptococcal meningitis in studies of microbiologically confirmed meningitis, and accounting for 28% of cases in one (1). Conventional diagnostic tests for TBM are, however, relatively …
