▼ Studies have suggested that Sub-Sahara Africans are prone to HIV-related renal dysfunction. A study done in Zambia showed increased deaths among HIV/AIDS patients who had renal dysfunction. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) one of the first line antiretroviral drugs in Zambia, has been associated with renal tubulopathy and nephrotoxicity in many studies. In Zambia, TDF has been in use since 2007. This study was set out to determine whether TDF had similar Nephrotoxic effects in patients receiving TDF- based regimen at the largest Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Centre in Lusaka. It aimed at determining the likelihood of patients with no renal dysfunction (CLcr method) at initiation of therapy developing renal dysfunction after 1 year of treatment with TDF- based regimen compared to those on non- TDF- based regimen (these patients were either on Stavudine (D4T)- based regimen or Zidovudine (AZT)- based regimen). An analytical cross- sectional study involved analysis of data obtained from 549 randomly selected HIV/AIDS patient files that were started on ART between September, 2007 and January, 2013. Out of the 549 patients, 275 patients were on TDF- based regimen and 274 patients were on non- TDF- based regimen. Findings showed a significantly larger number of participants on TDF developing renal dysfunction from having no renal dysfunction at baseline compared to those on non- TDF- based regimen; 51 out of 180 verses 8 out of 207, P< 0.001. Upon controlling for age and sex, logistic regression model showed that HIV/AIDS patients on TDF- based regimen were 8.77 times more likely to develop renal dysfunction after one year of therapy from having no renal dysfunction at baseline compared to those on non- TDF- based regimen. It was concluded that treatment with TDF- based regimen was strongly associated with developing renal dysfunction after 1 year of treatment compared to non TDF- based regimen. There is need for follow up of patients on TDF- based regimen or therapy modification to reduce cases of renal dysfunction in patients on treatment thereby allowing them benefit fully by the treatment.

▼ The development of a methodology to improve the parametric representation of the failure criteria used to characterize rock strength of a reservoir rock in the near-wellbore region is the focus of this study. We adopted a statistical method, so-called error-in-variables (EIV), to take into account experimental errors in all of the measured variables. The proposed methodology is employed to obtain the parameters of the failure envelope (2D criteria) from experimental data in the following cases: When the experimental data are used directly to determine the failure envelope in the Mohr plane. When a failure envelope is first obtained in the principal-stress plane and then transformed into the Mohr plane using Computer Algebra. When the presence of pore fluid requires the consideration of effective stresses. When the brittle-ductile transition requires special form of the envelope (cap models) Using generalization of previously developed methods, we employed EIV methods to obtain the parameters of a failure surface in the principal-stress space (3D criteria).The basic hypothesis of this work is that the EIV method provides a better representation of failure criteria than the previous methodology. The basic application of any failure criterion is to determine whether a certain stress state will or will not lead to failure. A parametric representation is considered better than another if the likelihood of obtaining the wrong answer is less than in the other case. Therefore, the best representation (within a certain family of envelopes or surfaces) is the one minimizing the objective function, which is nothing else but the likelihood of this wrong answer. To test the basic hypothesis of this work, I compared the objective function (likelihood of erroneous decision) calculated with parametric representations obtained by various methods. To achieve this I evaluated a well-documented, published set of experimental data, for which failure envelopes have been fitted by other methods. This work is limited to the processing of data obtained in experiments conducted in homogenous, isotropic rock at isothermal conditions. Sedimentary rocks such as sandstone are the focus of this study because of their importance in near-wellbore reservoir rock stability problems. Nevertheless, the methodology developed in this work is not limited to this type of rock. Advisors/Committee Members: Valko, Peter P. (advisor), Russell, James E. (advisor), Ikelle, Luc T.

▼ Abstract of Novel Heart Failure Development in Swine, by Jay Budrewicz, ScM., Brown University, May 2017. Objective: There is a need for a simple and reliable large animal doxorubicin cardiotoxicity heart failure model that is created through similar means as it is caused in humans. The model is necessary for the testing of novel and existing drugs and medical devices used to treat this condition. Methods: Two juvenile Yorkshire swine were administered different doses per body mass (30mg/m2 and 3mg/m2) of a doxorubicin hydrogel. It was serially delivered, percutaneously through the sub-xyphoid region, to the pericardial sac. The doxorubicin hydrogel was formulated to become viscous and remain in the pericardium following weekly administrations. Transesophageal Echocardiography Data, hemodynamic data and general health data were collected to evaluate the effects of the toxin. At necropsy evidence of macroscopic findings were collected and processed for histological examination. Results: The animal that received the 30mg/m2 dose displayed clinical observations (dyspnea and wet cough) that prevented it from surviving for more than two administrations or reaching the intended 42 day time point. This animal had a left ventricular ejection fraction that decreased from 56 to 23%. Histological observations of the left atrium showed evidence of fibrous exudates in the pericardium. In the myocardium of the left atrium, there was a zone of superficial myocardial pallor-degeneration. The animal that received the 3mg/m2 dose did not exhibit any signs of doxorubicin induced heart failure. Conclusion: The two doses tested in this doxorubicin induced heart failure model development appear to be too high and two low. The 30mg/m2 dose resulted in off target cardiotoxicity described as pericarditis/epicarditis combined with pericardial effusion resulting in right sided heart failure. The 3mg/m2 did not result in any significant cardiotoxicity. Doses in between the two tested for this model need to be used in an attempt to identify the right dose that will be successful in creating the desired toxicity.

▼ Lakes continuously accumulate sediment, a process that has been ongoing since their formation. The sediment consists of soil particles and biological remains that runoff from the watershed and into the lake. The sediment may also contain particles from aeolian transported material from the “airshed” and biological and inorganic precipitated minerals. Thus, lake sediment is a continuous environmental archive, containing information about the history of the lake, and its surroundings. Unfortunately, lake sediment is subject to remobilization and mixing due to a variety of sediment transport processes, such as mass wasting. There has been limited research on how base-level change influences mass wasting, in particular, slope failure. Some studies suggest slope failures are correlated with base-level fall and/or base-level rise, while others suggest they don’t correlate at all. To address this controversy, I conducted flume experiments at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) to observe slope failure in sediment mixtures containing four different walnut-shell/kaolinite ratios. Three base-level change rates were tested, producing 12 base-level change experiments. Another set of experiments was also designed to investigate what effect, if any, the addition of waves would have on mass flow. Video recordings were taken during each experiment and were analyzed to study the geometry of each profile before and after base-level change had occurred. Results suggest that there is consistent sediment transport when waves are present, aiding in the transportation of walnut-shell downslope. Without waves, transport is limited, and the clinoform is subject to compaction, or slump formation, depending on clay content. This difference depends heavily on a sediment’s composition, where hydraulic conductivity (K) plays an important role in water transmission through the clinoform. My experiments suggest that slope failures in the field would occur in lake sediment with higher clay content. Base-level change itself has no effect on the occurrence of failures, but slope failures should occur during base-level change if clay content is high. With only base-level change, we can expect to see compacted lake sediment with lower clay content (~15-33% clay). Slope failures (slumps) occur in lake sediment with higher clay content (~50%). With the presence of waves, however, wavebase plays an important role in sediment transport. Wave-base greatly influences sediment transport downslope, which is seen in my experimental work. This suggests that waves in the field also transport lake sediment downslope while washing away any finegrained particles (i.e. clay).

▼ The adoption of new materials for light-weighting purposes in the automotive industry has been hindered by these materials’ limited ductility and more-complicated constitutive models. Establishing the onset of failure through experiment is challenging, and numerical predictions depend strongly on the adopted material model. With this in mind, a series of experiments was developed with the goal of providing directly-measurable strains and stresses at failure. Custom-designed Al 6061 T6 tubular specimens with a thin-walled test section are loaded in radial stress paths in the nominal axial-shear stress space. Stereo digital image correlation is used to monitor the specimen surface throughout the experiment. The stress and deformation within the test section are uniform until a load maximum is reached, beyond which deformation localizes into a circumferential band with width the order of the wall thickness. The series of experiments shows that the strain at failure monotonically increases as the triaxiality decreases, a result that is contrary to previously-reported results for this alloy. The strains at failure are also significantly larger than previously-reported values, with equivalent strains around 1.5 at low triaxialities. This experimental methodology provides a robust means of directly establishing failure strains that can be employed as failure criteria in numerical simulations. In support of a separate effort to numerically reproduce the responses and localization in these tension-torsion experiments, a series of combined tension and internal pressure experiments on the same tube stock was conducted. In these experiments, the tubes are loaded in radial paths in the nominal axial-hoop stress space. The data obtained proved sufficient for calibrating the non-quadratic, 18-parameter, anisotropic constitutive model of Barlat and coworkers. With the calibrated constitutive model, a large-deformation material stress-strain curve was inversely extracted from the post-necking response in a uniaxial tension test. The pressure-tension experiments were then studied numerically through a finite element (FE) model that incorporated the calibrated constitutive model and hardening response. The analysis shows that properly-calibrated plasticity with an accurate stress-strain curve and suitable FE mesh is capable of reproducing the measured responses as well as the localized deformations that developed prior to burst.

▼ Obesity and cardiovascular function are closely linked on a number of different levels, from the impact of the whole-body complications of obesity, to the geometric remodelling inflicted on the heart and vasculature by increased body weight, to the influence of the endocrine state of the body on intracellular signalling cascades, to the very efficiency of energy generation and transfer within the myocyte itself. Whilst obesity is one of the main contributing risks to the development of number of different cardiovascular diseases, it has a particularly strong relationship with the development of heart failure. However, there is a counterintuitive association with survival in established disease and increasing body mass index, known as the obesity paradox. This underlines the complex relationship between the two conditions, and poses the question as to whether there is a protective physiological mechanism at play within the obese myocardium. Magnetic resonance imaging is perfectly placed to interrogate this interplay in more detail, being the gold-standard technique for assessing a number of different parameters of cardiovascular structure and function, but also unveiling the potential for investigating cellular physiological parameters using non-invasive spectroscopic techniques. It is known that inflexibility in substrate selection has an impact on cardiovascular function and that this plays an important role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy, as well as potentially the obesity phenotype. In this thesis, I use the popular Very Low Calorie Diet in a healthy obese cohort, both to assess its efficacy in treating obesity-related cardiovascular disease, and also to demonstrate the impact of altering the availability of myocardial substrate on cardiovascular function. While after 8 weeks of dietary intervention, myocardial steatosis and diastolic dysfunction are reversed, there is an interesting early deterioration in function, associated with an increase in circulating fatty acids and deposition of ectopic lipid within the myocardium. This highlights the potential for dietary intervention as a treatment strategy in metabolic cardiac dysfunction, but also the need for caution in a population with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. While substrate selection is an important factor in determining the efficiency of energy generation, the rate of transfer of ATP from the mitochondrion to the myofibril is also a key step in regulating myocardial energy transduction. This step is catalysed by the creatine kinase enzyme, enabling PCr to act as a buffer maintaining rates of ATP delivery under fluctuating demand. The reaction rate of creatine kinase can be interrogated with sophisticated non-invasive MR spectroscopic techniques, and has been found to be reduced in heart failure. In obesity, however, there is typically preserved systolic function despite reduced PCr/ATP concentrations, which raises the question of whether creatine kinase kinetics compensate to maintain ATP delivery. I investigated this question in obese…

▼ The main intention of this study is identifying the causes of hydraulic failure of Zana Micro- Embankment dam with emphasize on seepage. The selected area is found in Amhara National regional state, North Gonder zone, East Belesa woreda. The dam is located on Zana River, tributary of the Tekeze River. Even though the study area has been selected based on the available data as compared with the other problem area, to attain the primary objective of the research the available data is so limited. The work has delt with a unidirectional investigation. Seepage analysis and filter media design of the dam which has been stated in the design document were thoroughly investigated. Darcy’s law-phreatic line, flow Net and SEEP/W software model are used to analyze the quantity of seepage through homogeneous and zoned dam, without the provision of filter material. The flow net diagram is drawn with help of AutoCAD soft ware aided by free hand sketching for both cases. The expected quantity of seepage estimated with these different methods relatively resembles each other. The maximum seepage through the dam as per the SEEP/W software model analysis that includes foundation seepage is 7.06*10-3 cm3/sec. This value is compared with the quantity of seepage estimated at the designed document that is 7.31*10-2cm3/sec. Therefore, the design document has no problem of quantifying the expected quantity of seepage. However, the drainage system is not properly designed at the design document. To this end, failurity of seepage at the d/s face of the dam which are threatening the dam stability are expected to result from improper filter media design. Even though, the dam has a problem data on construction history, this study analyze with the help of field investigation, the cause of seepage failurity at side of spillway due to poor construction quality. To alleviate the problem grouting, impervious blanketing and d/s berming are the proposed remedial measures for seepage and leakage failures. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Bayou Chane (advisor).

▼ Entrepreneurship literature has long focused on stories of entrepreneurial success. However, in recent years consensus has begun to build around the importance of also studying failure in order to develop a more holistic understanding of entrepreneurship. It has been argued that failure can have an impact on entrepreneurial decision-making in subsequent ventures and can be a difficult experience for an entrepreneur to go through. In spite of such speculations and acknowledgements, failure remains a relatively underresearched area, except perhaps from the primary perspective of the reasons behind failure. While this is an important area of investigation − as understanding reasons behind failure can improve the probability of success in subsequent entrepreneurial endeavours – it is equally important to understand the experience of failure. The primary aim of this thesis is to understand failure from the perspective of entrepreneurs who have experienced it. Its second aim is to build a theoretical framework of failure based on those experiences. The overarching research question for this study is: “How do entrepreneurs experience venture failure and learn from this experience?” The three supporting subquestions are: “What do entrepreneurs experience when their venture fails?”, “How do entrepreneurs stay resilient when the venture fails?”, and “What do the entrepreneurs learn from experiencing venture failure?” Using the philosophical position of interpretive, phenomenological symbolic interactionism and narrative as a strategy of inquiry, stories of failure as told by 21 entrepreneurs during in-depth interviews are analysed. Using the metaphor of fabric tear and repair, theoretical constructs developed from the findings are integrated into a framework and discussed in the light of relevant literature. The framework highlights that failure leads to considerable challenges for the entrepreneurs and triggers grief. After grief, however, comes resilience. In this journey, resilience came from acceptance and hope, states that shifted the entrepreneurs’ perspective on venture failure from one which saw it as a negative, end-all event to one that framed it as a challenging, survivable event. This resilience fuelled their efforts to adapt to their changed reality. Grief faded as entrepreneurs dealt with the challenges. From this experience, the entrepreneurs learnt business lessons and transformed in such a way as to become more spiritually inclined. The study extends the understanding of the phenomenon of failure in entrepreneurship by presenting an empirical evidence-based framework that incorporates failure-related challenges, entrepreneurs’ adaptation to these challenges, and the lessons learnt from this experience. Second, this study illustrates the importance of hope and acceptance in building entrepreneurial resilience, and how entrepreneurs’ social environment and sometimes spiritual beliefs play an important role in nurturing hope and an acceptance of adapting to the challenges.

▼ Background: Heart failure is defined by the American Heart Association (AHA) as a chronic, progressive, and costly disease in which the heart is unable to meet the demands of the body, affecting millions of people worldwide (2019). A need assessment completed at Yuma Regional Medical Center’s Transitional Care Services clinic in Southwest Arizona identified Spanish speaking Latinos overwhelmingly lacked heart failure knowledge despite standard patient education and the use of comprehensive educational materials. In order to address health concerns in this patient population, a quality improvement project aimed at improving heart failure knowledge in Spanish speaking patients was conducted. Methods: This quality improvement project used quantitative surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating American Heart Association’s (AHA, 2019) Spanish version self-check plan for heart failure management tool into routine patient education at TCS for Spanish speaking patients. Demographic, heart failure knowledge and patient self-management confidence levels were obtained prior to the visit. After the visit, participants were given two surveys to reassess their self- management confidence levels and determine their satisfaction with the educational tool. Participants were also given the opportunity to comment upon their experience provided insight of the usefulness of the educational tool, the project, and the TCS clinic. Results: Thirty-four patients from the TCS participated in this project. The majority of participants were male, older than 65 years, and had a less than or equal to a 3rd grade education. Confidence levels dramatically improved between baseline (66.4%) and post-intervention (90.6%). This demonstrates the effectiveness of this educational intervention which integrating an easy to follow illustrated heart failure zone tool. Conclusion: The local need to address Latino health issues is widely apparent and this quality improvement project revealed that the development and implementation of language and literacy specific patient education materials significantly impacted participant confidence levels in managing HF. Recommendations: Findings from this project highly encourage further assessment of baseline health and reading literacy and the use of language and low literacy focused patient education materials.

▼ Monitoring heart-arterial system (LV-AS) interactions of cardiovascular patients is important in achieving successful diagnosis and treatment. This is particularly true in the cases of hypertension and heart failure. However, there has been limited quantitative hemodynamic analysis aimed at improving the outcome for the 70-million hypertensive patients and millions of heart failure patients. This thesis develops a model-based strategy to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the state of the vascular system and its coupling to the heart, and ultimately aims to distinguish patient groups of heart failure with preserved or reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF and HFrEF). The first aspect of this study is analysis of arterial hemodynamics from animal experimental data collected during normotensive, vasodilation, and induced hypertension conditions. Total arterial compliance (C), peripheral resistance (Rs), and aortic characteristic impedance (Z0) based on the 3-element Windkessel model were obtained, together with frequency-domain impedance, wave reflection information, and parameters for assessing global cardiac function. Subsequently, clinical human data were collected and analyzed, focusing on the LV-AS interactions. We identified critical parameters in LV-AS interaction, i.e. effective arterial system elastance, Ea, LV systolic elastance, Emax, LV-AS coupling index, k (=Ea/Emax), and C. Results characterized hypertension by a significantly reduced C and increased Rs, confirmed by increased vascular impedance and wave reflections. Unloading the heart reversed these observations via vasodilator treatment. For human studies, we found C to be more effective than Ea in distinguishing groups of HFpEF and HFrEF patients. It was found that HFpEF patients tended to have a relatively independent coupling index, k, with respect to arterial parameter changes. The findings in this work can be incorporated into larger scale clinical studies that implement the use of pulse waveform analysis and the identified critical LV-AS interaction parameters to improve patient treatment and outcome.

▼ Introduction There are many personal and behavioral factors that can decrease the effectiveness of condoms, even when one is used every time. Clinical condom failure (the condom breaking, tearing, or completely slipping off the penis) contributes to less than perfect effectiveness rates and can be at least partially attributed to these personal and behavioral factors. Although specific use and storage behaviors can be reasons for a condom to break or slip, there are often other factors at play. Negative perceptions of condoms, self-efficacy when using condoms, type of sex act, and history of STI’s can all impact clinical failure rates. Objective The purpose of this study was to assess four major factors: negative perceptions of condoms, self-efficacy, history of STI’s, and type of sex act, and their relationship to condom breakage and slippage in a sample of 381 condom users in Atlanta, GA. Methods Data were drawn from the baseline survey of the C-PLEASURE Study. Bivariate analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between each independent variable and the two outcome variables: experiencing condom breakage in the last 6 months and experiencing condom slippage in the last 6 months. Then two logistic regression models, one for experience of any condom breaks in the last six months and one for experience of any condom slips in the last six months, were used to further determine these relationships. Results The only significant relationship that was found was between negative perceptions of condoms and condom slips (AOR=1.08 95% CI= [1.02, 1.14], p=0.01). History of STI’s, type of sex act, lubricant use, lubricant type, consistent condom use, and self-efficacy did not return any significant relationships with experience of condom breaks or slips in the last 6 months, although self-efficacy did approach a significant relationship with condom slips (p=.07). Conclusions Since negative perceptions are correlated with condom failure, attitudes and perceptions of condoms need to be addressed for greater efficacy. Further studies on self-efficacy and condom failure should be pursued to determine how strong the protective qualities of self-efficacy can be when it comes to effective use of condoms and prevention of condom failure.

▼ Heart failure (HF) is a serious, life limiting chronic illness and is the most common cause of <30-day hospital readmission, which is costly both in its profound negative impact on patient mortality and quality of life, and in economics. Limited access to care in rural communities increases the prevalence of hospitalizations for heart disease in rural areas. The aims of this project using data mined from Arizona Health Sciences Center Clinical Research Data Warehouse, are to define clinical events (fever, pain, changes in respiratory status, change in level of consciousness, changes in output, bleeding, and suicide ideation) for patients with heart failure, and determine what assessment values are for chronically ill patients and compare to "normal" assessment values for non-chronically ill patients. A literature review was completed to determine how to define clinical events for chronically ill patients with HF, and how decision making is used at home to manage chronic illness. Assessment value data was mined from the clinical research data warehouse and compared to “normal” assessment values, with identification of associations between clinical events and action taken in the hospital. The project results support that there are differences in "normal" assessment values for fever, pain, and change in respiratory status between chronically ill patients with HF, and non-chronically ill patients; there was insufficient data to define bleeding, change in output, or suicide ideation. Impacts to care include earlier recognition of worsening HF symptoms that could result in an earlier call or visit to primary care provider forestalling the need for emergent care and hospital readmission. Application of the mined clinical may inform development of evidenced-based algorithm to guide decision-making at home, and it may also provide the foundation for the development of a tool for patient use to prevent <30-day hospital readmission. Advisors/Committee Members: Carrington, Jane M (advisor), Carrington, Jane M. (committeemember), Love, Rene (committeemember), Pacheco, Christy L. (committeemember).

▼ Micro-mechanical modeling of brittle dynamic failure provides a physical insight into the relationship between microstructure, which dictates key failure mechanisms, and material performance. This dissertation addresses key issues in micromechanical models associated with brittle dynamic failure, in particular damage-induced material anisotropy, efficiency of the micromechanics model to enable larger-scale implementation, and non-local modeling to represent strain softening materials. The dominant failure mechanism for brittle materials under compressive loads is the growth and coalescence of wing-cracks; therefore, the micromechanics model based on wing-cracks is the focus of this work. Based on a wing-crack RVE model, analytical closed-form solutions for the instantaneous effective anisotropic compliance (or stiffness) of a damaged material under compression are derived through both kinematic and energetic approaches. These solutions are functions of the geometric measurements of the wing-cracks and the friction coefficient. Application of the model to tensile loads is a straightforward simplification of the proposed model. Finite element models of periodic wing-cracks verify the analytical results, confirming the effectiveness of the analytical solution. Combining this anisotropic compliance with an established micro-mechanics model that addresses crack growth, the stress-strain relationship of a brittle material under compressive loading is established. In upscaling to a macro-scale computational model, this micro-mechanically based constitutive model is evaluated at each individual integration point of the mesh. For models with many integration points, this micromechanical analysis for every integration point at every time step is computationally prohibitive. An upscaling technique is proposed here to tackle this issue. Instead of repeatedly performing the complete constitutive model for each integration point, a Taylor series expansion is applied to approximate the micromechanics damage process. Such a methodology can be deployed to enhance the efficiency of the macro-scale models as well as the statistical estimations of the local stress and strength of the material with heterogeneous nature. To the end of properly modeling the strain softening behavior at the highly damaged stage, a conventional nonlocal finite element method is investigated by simulating a series of bench mark problems.
