Theoretical Feasibility Study of Preferential Hyperthermia Using Silicon Carbide Inserts
… design model with multiple (4) silicon carbide inserts, the DTD could be attained in a tumor up to 3.5 cm in diameter. This study involved using the commercially available software package ANSYS 7.0 program to model a spherical 2 cm tumor, assuming the tumor is located in deep tissue with a …

Polyurethane inserts for comfort and injury prevention while dancing en pointe
… they would not wear out and become unusable. Inserts were also molded to the foot of a semi-professional dancer and tested to measure the force on the hallux. Using a polyurethane insert, this force was reduced to less than 10% of a ballerina's body weight. This is a dramatic improvement from …

Numerical Investigations of a Pipe Jet With Coil Inserts With and Without Crossflow
… and the pipe internal diameter, with coil-inserts resulting in 1.44% of geometric blockage at the jet outlet. The methodology integrates detailed parametric analyses of coil geometry, specifically coil length (ℓ/D = 1, 5, and 10) and pitch (p/D = 0.5, 1, and 2), at various crossflow …

Development of a cost-effective hybrid strategy for manufacturing plastic injection mould inserts
… to manufacture high-performance injection mould inserts. Evaluations, analyses and development work were undertaken in three separate phases. Phase one involved the development of a novel hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing strategy and a hybrid-build technique explicitly for fabricating …

Vector drop-on-demand production of tungsten carbide-cobalt tooling inserts by three dimensional printing
… produce Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt (WC-Co) tooling inserts. The research focuses on three fundamental process steps: (1) development of a stable slurry, (2) determination of jetting parameter values for optimal powderbed deposition, and (3) implementation of vector, DOD printing for the binder. Due …

Impact of written drug information in patient package inserts: Acceptance and impact on benefit/risk perception
… happens when a country changes from technical inserts with difficult jargon to comprehensible PPIs; what do we know about the impact of PPIs on patients knowledge and feelings about their drugs? In this thesis, an attempt is made to understand the mental processing of drug information which …

Lipid Based Frameworks And Topical Ocular Inserts For The Delivery Of Small Molecule Therapeutics To The Posterior Segment Of The Eye
Lipid based systems and topical ocular inserts of various drugs were developed for the intervention/treatment of posterior segment ocular complications. Indomethacin (IN) was developed into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). Effect of surface …

Towards the cloning of the human heat shock protein twenty-seven multigene family
… and Blast Algorithms. DNA Alignments of the inserts contained in three positive clones showed a homology of 29-51% to the human hsp 27 gene. Our data suggests that these inserts are distant members of the human hsp 27 multigene family. Blast searches did not determine the identity of these …

Investigation of the heat transfer enhancement effects of nanofluids in process heating and cooling
… measurements and combining nanofluids with inserts have not been adequately assessed. This thesis investigates the use of highly conductive nanofluids as a potential alternative to conventional working fluids with low thermal conductivity, such as water, currently used in heat exchangers for …

Molecular analysis of the salmon pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis
… was analysed. None of these recombinant phage inserts could be released with EcoRI, the restriction enzyme used in preparation of the library. Release of inserts with restriction enzymes flanking the EcoRI site was successful and several inserts, ranging in size from 0.4 to 3.5kb were detected. …

Improving performance of discharge equipment for coals with poor handling characteristics
… a flow pattern known as mass flow. Static inserts have been proved to be an effective method of modifying the discharge patterns in silos, but their use and design procedures are not well understood or are well hidden behind patents and trade secrecy. This research project aims to produce …

Analytical and experimental study of the effect of cutting tool microgeometry on the impact resistance of milling tools
… the wear and failure of the various milling inserts. Five different edge radii were tested and compared. It was found that altering the edge geometry of the tool does affect the cutting forces, wear behaviour, and impact resistance of the cutting inserts, with an edge radius of 35 μm proving …

Cloning of actin genes from a genomic library of the newt, Notophthalmus viridescens
… phage clones, containing actin homologous inserts, were isolated from a newt genomic library by hybridization with the chick actin probe. Restriction mapping identified actin homologous sequences within the newt DNA inserts which were subcloned into the plasmid pTZ19R. The recombinant …

SITUATION MOUSE ALL FLOXED UP: EXPLORING PHENOTYPIC ABNORMALITIES IN BDNF FLOXED MICE
… phenotypic abnormalities related to large gene inserts, few have noted abnormalities with small gene inserts such as the 34 bp LoxP site. Brandt (2018) performed a three-stage behavioral protocol on these mice and found evidence of increased anxiety, possible motor abnormalities, slightly …

Design of an automated sorting and orienting machine for electronic pins
… automated with the exception of the step which inserts electronic pins into the PCBs. Past attempts to automate this process have resulted in two unreliable machines that are not in use on the production line. Thus, electronic pin insertion is currently a manual process. The design proposed in …
