Multiple indices of diffusion identifies white matter damage in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease
No full textThe study of multiple indices of diffusion, including axial (DA), radial (DR) and mean diffusion (MD), as well as fractional anisotropy (FA), enables WM damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD) to be assessed in detail. Here, tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) were performed on scans of 40 healthy elders, 19 non-amnestic MCI (MCIna) subjects, 14 amnestic MCI (MCIa) subjects and 9 AD patients. Significantly higher DA was found in MCIna subjects compared to healthy elders in the right posterior cingulum/precuneus. Significantly higher DA was also found in MCIa subjects compared to healthy elders in the left prefrontal cortex, particularly in the forceps minor and uncinate fasciculus. In the MCIa versus MCIna comparison, significantly higher DA was found in large areas of the left prefrontal cortex. For AD patients, the overlap of FA and DR changes and the overlap of FA and MD changes were seen in temporal, parietal and frontal lobes, as well as the corpus callosum and fornix. Analysis of differences between the AD versus MCIna, and AD versus MCIa contrasts, highlighted regions that are increasingly compromised in more severe disease stages. Microstructural damage independent of gross tissue loss was widespread in later disease stages. Our findings suggest a scheme where WM damage begins in the core memory network of the temporal lobe, cingulum and prefrontal regions, and spreads beyond these regions in later stages. DA and MD indices were most sensitive at detecting early changes in MCIa
The strategic response of full service airlines to the low cost carrier threat and the perception of passengers to each type of carrier
No full textLow cost carriers have changed the competitive dynamics of the short-haul market
forever. They have revolutionised the way of doing business in aviation by adopting a
fresh approach on both strategic and operational issues. Simplicity has become their
universal principle over network airlines and subsequently they have achieved
substantial cost advantages which are passed onto the consumer as lower fares.
Network airlines have found it difficult to reshape their structural barriers and have
been slow to incorporate the components that low cost carriers deemed very
significant in impacting their operating margins. However, a restructuring of their
internal weaknesses should spur initiatives to design long-term strategies to address
those shortcomings. Network airlines rely on producing value-adding and consumerdriven
product differentiation beyond the basics of the low cost carrier product. To
further differentiate themselves network airlines need to focus on: customer
satisfaction; develop long term mutually beneficial relationships with both passengers
and corporations; collaborate with a wide range of bipartisan partners; retain
differentiated flight products that add value; and to incorporate strategies that other
network carriers deemed paradigmatic. Network carriers should resist reducing costs
associated with value-added services and need to become innovative in generating
alternative revenue streams
Applications of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in exploring materials property-property correlations
No full textThe copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the authorThe discoveries of materials property-property correlations usually require prior
knowledge or serendipity, the process of which can be time-consuming, costly,
and labour-intensive. On the other hand, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are
intelligent and scalable modelling techniques that have been used extensively to
predict properties from materials’ composition or processing parameters, but are
seldom used in exploring materials property-property correlations. The work
presented in this thesis has employed ANNs combinatorial searches to explore the
correlations of different materials properties, through which, ‘known’ correlations
are verified, and ‘unknown’ correlations are revealed. An evaluation criterion is
proposed and demonstrated to be useful in identifying nontrivial correlations.
The work has also extended the application of ANNs in the fields of data
corrections, property predictions and identifications of variables’ contributions. A
systematic ANN protocol has been developed and tested against the known
correlating equations of elastic properties and the experimental data, and is found
to be reliable and effective to correct suspect data in a complicated situation where
no prior knowledge exists. Moreover, the hardness increments of pure metals due
to HPT are accurately predicted from shear modulus, melting temperature and
Burgers vector. The first two variables are identified to have the largest impacts
on hardening. Finally, a combined ANN-SR (symbolic regression) method is
proposed to yield parsimonious correlating equations by ruling out redundant
variables through the partial derivatives method and the connection weight
approach, which are based on the analysis of the ANNs weight vectors. By
applying this method, two simple equations that are at least as accurate as other
models in providing a rapid estimation of the enthalpies of vaporization for
compounds are obtained.School of Engineering and Materials Science of Queen

Well and truly translated : an exploration of the processes at work in Englishing the Bible from the seventh to the seventeenth century
No full textThis thesis aims to open up a new perspective an the
translation of the Bible into the vernacular. It offers the
idea that the first complete translation of the Bible into
English in the 1380's was not a sudden and short-lived
political gesture, but the natural progression of a process
which began in Anglo-Saxon times, continued through the
Middle Ages and culminated in the definitive 1611 version of
the English Bible.
It hopes to set the Englishing of the Bible into a linguistic
and literary context as well as a religious and political
one. It takes into account the problems of retrospective
assessment and the danger of attempting to impose modern
values on pre-conquest and medieval prose. The early
development of the vernacular from Bede to Aelfric begins the
study of the process of Englishing; the wealth of medieval
translations from the Conquest to Rolle continues it. The
inheritance of translation theory, the mystical tradition
and the theories of authority and authorship are discussed as
a background to the Wycliffite translation of the Bible.
The study of the progress of the vernacular at this point
becomes a study of the development of English prose and
includes an account of Pecock's works and the contemporary
perspective of Thomas More. The Humanist element comes into
sharper focus with a discussion of the rise of Greek studies
and of the effect of the redefinition of the source text in
the form of Erasmus's Greek New Testament.
William Tyndale's position as reformer and translator of the
scriptures is contrasted with that of the Wycliffites in
respect of available source texts, distribution in the form
of relatively inexpensive printed books and a literate
potential readership. The Englishing of the Bible after
Tyndale is traced through a process of editing, defining,
layering and expanding previous texts which culminated in the
production of the King James Bible of 1611

Strong Carbon Features and a Red Early Color in the Underluminous Type Ia SN 2022xkq
No full textWe present optical, infrared, ultraviolet, and radio observations of SN 2022xkq, an underluminous fast-declining Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in NGC 1784 (D ≈ 31 Mpc), from <1 to 180 days after explosion. The high-cadence observations of SN 2022xkq, a photometrically transitional and spectroscopically 91bg-like SN Ia, cover the first days and weeks following explosion, which are critical to distinguishing between explosion scenarios. The early light curve of SN 2022xkq has a red early color and exhibits a flux excess that is more prominent in redder bands; this is the first time such a feature has been seen in a transitional/91bg-like SN Ia. We also present 92 optical and 19 near-infrared (NIR) spectra, beginning 0.4 days after explosion in the optical and 2.6 days after explosion in the NIR. SN 2022xkq exhibits a long-lived C i 1.0693 μm feature that persists until 5 days post-maximum. We also detect C ii λ6580 in the pre-maximum optical spectra. These lines are evidence for unburnt carbon that is difficult to reconcile with the double detonation of a sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf. No existing explosion model can fully explain the photometric and spectroscopic data set of SN 2022xkq, but the considerable breadth of the observations is ideal for furthering our understanding of the processes that produce faint SNe Ia. © 2023.

Four distinct trajectories of tau deposition identified in Alzheimer’s disease
No full textAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the spread of tau pathology throughout the cerebral cortex. This spreading pattern was thought to be fairly consistent across individuals, although recent work has demonstrated substantial variability in the population with AD. Using tau-positron emission tomography scans from 1,612 individuals, we identified 4 distinct spatiotemporal trajectories of tau pathology, ranging in prevalence from 18 to 33%. We replicated previously described limbic-predominant and medial temporal lobe-sparing patterns, while also discovering posterior and lateral temporal patterns resembling atypical clinical variants of AD. These ‘subtypes’ were stable during longitudinal follow-up and were replicated in a separate sample using a different radiotracer. The subtypes presented with distinct demographic and cognitive profiles and differing longitudinal outcomes. Additionally, network diffusion models implied that pathology originates and spreads through distinct corticolimbic networks in the different subtypes. Together, our results suggest that variation in tau pathology is common and systematic, perhaps warranting a re-examination of the notion of ‘typical AD’ and a revisiting of tau pathological staging. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature America, Inc
Validation of the OAKS prognostic model for acute kidney injury after gastrointestinal surgery
No full text© The Author(s) 2022. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of BJS Society Ltd.Background: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of major gastrointestinal surgery with an impact on short- and long-term survival. No validated system for risk stratification exists for this patient group. This study aimed to validate externally a prognostic model for AKI after major gastrointestinal surgery in two multicentre cohort studies. Methods: The Outcomes After Kidney injury in Surgery (OAKS) prognostic model was developed to predict risk of AKI in the 7 days after surgery using six routine datapoints (age, sex, ASA grade, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, planned open surgery and preoperative use of either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker). Validation was performed within two independent cohorts: a prospective multicentre, international study (‘IMAGINE’) of patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery (2018); and a retrospective regional cohort study (‘Tayside’) in major abdominal surgery (2011–2015). Multivariable logistic regression was used to predict risk of AKI, with multiple imputation used to account for data missing at random. Prognostic accuracy was assessed for patients at high risk (greater than 20 per cent) of postoperative AKI. Results: In the validation cohorts, 12.9 per cent of patients (661 of 5106) in IMAGINE and 14.7 per cent (106 of 719 patients) in Tayside developed 7-day postoperative AKI. Using the OAKS model, 558 patients (9.6 per cent) were classified as high risk. Less than 10 per cent of patients classified as low-risk developed AKI in either cohort (negative predictive value greater than 0.9). Upon external validation, the OAKS model retained an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve of range 0.655–0.681 (Tayside 95 per cent c.i. 0.596 to 0.714; IMAGINE 95 per cent c.i. 0.659 to 0.703), sensitivity values range 0.323–0.352 (IMAGINE 95 per cent c.i. 0.281 to 0.368; Tayside 95 per cent c.i. 0.253 to 0.461), and specificity range 0.881–0.890 (Tayside 95 per cent c.i. 0.853 to 0.905; IMAGINE 95 per cent c.i. 0.881 to 0.899). Conclusion: The OAKS prognostic model can identify patients who are not at high risk of postoperative AKI after gastrointestinal surgery with high specificity
