Isogeometric analysis for multi-patch structured Kirchhoff–Love shells
No full textWe present an isogeometric method for Kirchhoff–Love shell analysis of shell structures with geometries composed of multiple patches and which possibly possess extraordinary vertices, i.e. vertices with a valency different to four. The proposed isogeometric shell discretisation is based on the one hand on the approximation of the mid-surface by a particular class of multi-patch surfaces, called analysis-suitable G1 (Collin et al., 2016), and on the other hand on the use of the globally C1-smooth isogeometric multi-patch spline space (Farahat et al., 2023). We use our developed technique within an isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love shell formulation (Kiendl et al., 2009) to study linear and non-linear shell problems on multi-patch structures. Thereby, the numerical results show the great potential of our method for efficient shell analysis of geometrically complex multi-patch structures which cannot be modelled without the use of extraordinary vertices.Funding Information: The authors wish to thank the anonymous reviewers for their comments that helped to improve the paper.

Samuel H.M. Byers; Poet; Author; Diplomat; Oskaloosa; Iowa; Mahaska County; Iowa
No full textThis is a photograph taken of Samuel H.M. Byers at the onset of the Civil War in 1861. Byers served in the Union Army during the Civil War and gained a great deal of inspiration for his poetic writing during the war. Byers's most famous work is a poem entitled "Sherman's March to the Sea" recapping events that took place during this famous piece of American history. Byers is also credited with writing the state song of Iowa, played to the melody of "O, Christmas Tree". After gaining fame and fortune from his writing, Byers pursued a career in diplomacy, serving in the U.S. Consulate in Switzerland and Italy. Byers then came back to the U.S., living out the remainder of his days in Los Angeles, California. Byers died in 1933, at the age 95

The effect of deprivation and HbA 1c on admission to hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis in type 1 diabetes
No full textAims/hypothesis: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes and has a strong relationship with HbA 1c. We examined how socioeconomic group affects the likelihood of admission to hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis. Methods: The Scottish Care Information - Diabetes Collaboration (SCI-DC), a dynamic national register of all cases of diagnosed diabetes in Scotland, was linked to national data on hospital admissions. We identified 24,750 people with type 1 diabetes between January 2005 and December 2007. We assessed the relationship between HbA 1c and quintiles of deprivation with hospital admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis in people with type 1 diabetes adjusting for patient characteristics. Results: We identified 23,479 people with type 1 diabetes who had complete recording of covariates. Deprivation had a substantial effect on odds of admission to hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis (OR 4.51, 95% CI 3.73, 5.46 in the most deprived quintile compared with the least deprived). This effect persisted after the inclusion of HbA 1c and other risk factors (OR 2.81, 95% CI 2.32, 3.39). Men had a reduced risk of admission to hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.63, 0.79) and those with a history of smoking had increased odds of admission to hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis by a factor of 1.55 (95% CI 1.36, 1.78). Conclusions/interpretation: Women, smokers, those with high HbA 1c and those living in more deprived areas have an increased risk of admission to hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis. The effect of deprivation was present even after inclusion of other risk factors. This work highlights that those in poorer areas of the community with high HbA 1c represent a group who might be usefully supported to try to reduce hospital admissions. © 2012 Springer-Verlag
