Around the world with professor Vening Meinesz onboard the submarine K-XVIII
No full textIn November 1934, Den Helder, The Netherlands, the start of a remarkable voyage commenced. The Hr. Ms.K-XVIII, a Dutch submarine, was about to set sail to Soerabaya, Indonesia. Onboard was a Dutch professor, Felix Andries Vening Meinesz. He was able to measure the Earth’s gravity field with similar precision as on land for the first time in history using his innovative pendulum apparatus. His ground breaking data and systematic way of working changed the way of performing scientific expeditions.Astrodynamics & Space MissionsMathematical Geodesy and PositioningPhysical and Space GeodesyLibrary Education Service

No full textNational Gravity Compilation 2019 DGIR tilt grid
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This National Gravity Compilation 2019 DGIR tilt grid is produced from the 2019 Australian National Gravity Grids A series. These gravity data were acquired under the project No. 202008. The grid has a cell size of 0.00417 degrees (approximately 435m). The %%MV_DATASETS/SURVEY_NAME% were derived from ground observations stored in the Australian National Gravity Database (ANGD) as at September 2019, supplemented by offshore data sourced from v28.1 of the Global Gravity grid developed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego using data from the United States SIO, NOAA and NGA (Sandwell et al., 2014). Out of the approximately 1.8 million gravity observations, nearly 1.4 million gravity stations in the ANGD together with marine data were used to generate this grid. The ground gravity data used in the national grid have been acquired by the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments, the mining and exploration industry, universities and research organisations from the 1940's to the present day. Station spacing varies from approximately 11 km down to less than 1 km, with major parts of the continent having station spacing between 2.5 and 7 km. The grid shows a tilt of the de-trended global isostatic residual anomalies (A series) over Australia and its continental margins. The DGIR grid was obtained by subtracting 3 quantities (i.e., the near-field isostatic correction, the far-field isostatic correction, and a first order trend correction) from Complete Bouguer Anomaly data (CBA) of the 2019 Australian National Gravity Grids A series. The CBA values were obtained using the methodology given in Hinze et al. (2005). The horizontal and vertical datum was GDA94 (GRS80 ellipsoid) and the gravity datum was AAGD07 (Tracey et al., 2007). The near-field isostatic response is the gravity response of a density contrast across an isostatic root surface for a flat Earth out to a radius of 166.7 km. The isostatic root surface was derived from the topographic and bathymetric dataset compiled by Whiteway (2009), supplemented by ETOPO1 data (Amante and Eakins, 2009). The calculations were performed with software based on the AIRYROOT program (Simpson et al., 1983; Simpson et al., 1986) which uses a one-dimensional Airy-Heiskanen model of isostatic balance (Airy, 1855; Heiskanen and Vening Meinesz, 1958). The density values for the topography and sea water were 2670 kg.m-3 and 1030 kg.m-3, respectively. A value of 37 km was used for the depth to the root surface at sea level whilst a value of 400 kg.m-3 was used for the density contrast across the root. These values are the same as those used in previous isostatic residual gravity products from Geoscience Australia (Nakamura et al., 2010). The far-field isostatic response was the combined topographic adjustment-isostatic gravity response for a spherical Earth for a distance of 166.7 km from the observation point to 180 degrees as published by Karki et al. (1961). To assist with isolation of the anomalies due to sources in the mid- to upper crust, a strong southwest to northeast gradient was removed by fitting and applying a first order trend correction. More information about the 2019 national gravity grids and the processing steps can be found in Lane et al. (2020a,b). A tilt filter was calculated by applying a fast Fourier transform (FFT) process to the DGIR grid of the 2019 Australian National Gravity Grids A series to produce this grid. This tilt filter was calculated using an algorithm from the INTREPID Geophysics software package. A tilt filter is a ratio of the vertical derivative to the total horizontal derivative and is used for detection of edges of geological units. Details of the specifications of individual surveys held in the Australian National Gravity Database (ANGD) can be found in the Second Edition of the Index of Gravity Surveys (Wynne and Bacchin, 2009).

The new theory of the gravimetric geodesy (II)
No full textPrepared for Air Force Cambridge Research Center, U.S. Air Research and Development Command, Laurence G. Hanscom Field, Bedford, Massachusetts: Contract No. AF 19(604)-1963 (OSURF Project 716)According to Helmert, the function of geodesy is to measure and represent the physical surface of the earth, "Ausmessung und Abbildung der Erdoberfläche." This problem is practically solved in three steps. 1. Establishment of a reference surface which must be as regular as possible, but at the same time, sufficiently close to the actual surface, 2. Establishment of an intermediate surface and determination of the deviations of the latter from the reference surface, 3. Determination of the deviations of the actual surface from the intermediate surface. For the purposes of pure geodesy, the first step is definitely completed by the international ellipsoid. There is no need to replace the constants given on pp. 18-26, Part I, by values which would represent the actual earth more closely. As for step 2, the classical theory introduced the geoid as the intermediate surface. This is a smoothly undulating surface which runs close to the ellipsoid; the deviations, which are of order of 50 meters, can be determined with the aid of the famous formulas of Stokes. The distances involved in step 3 are long, often several kilometers. They are called orthometric heights. The increasing accuracy of the practical measurements has shown that the classical theory fails to satisfy the modern requirements of the precision. According to the old theory, the following reductions should be applied to the measurements: a. The results of spirit levellings should be converted to orthometric heights, b. The direction of the actual gravity as obtained with the aid of the astronomical fixations at the physical surface of the earth should be reduced to the geoid, c. Similarly, the values of gravity observed at the earth's surface should be reduced to the geoid. These reductions require such information about the circumstances within the earth's crust--as the gravity or the density of the matter-- which practically never can be obtained. Very good approximations can be computed with the aid of plausible hypotheses but, anyway, the computations often are very cumbersome. On the other hand, many investigators have shown that these hypotheses are quite unnecessary. No one, however, has clearly pointed out that the new methods of reduction signify the abandonment of the geoid as the intermediate surface, nor has anyone exactly defined the new intermediate surface. In this paper a comprehensive new theory will be developed on the basis of the ideas that have been presented by Stokes, Pizzetti, Somigliana, Vening Meinesz, Jeffreys, Molodensky, de Graff Hunter and many others. There will be only a few references in the text because the ideas mostly are generally known; the omission of the bibliographical sources, in most cases, is due to the fact that the author has not been sure of the origin of each idea.

Better stoma care using the Stoma App:does it help? A first randomized double-blind clinical trial on the effect of mobile healthcare on quality of life in stoma patients
No full textBackground: Receiving a stoma significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Coping with this new situation can be difficult, which may result in a variety of physical and psychosocial problems. It is essential to provide adequate guidance to help patients cope with their stoma, as this positively influences self-efficacy in return. Higher self-efficacy reduces psychosocial problems increasing patient’s quality of life. This study investigates whether a new mobile application, the Stoma App, improves quality of life. And if personalized guidance, timed support, and peer contact offered as an in-app surplus makes a difference. Methods: A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted between March 2021 and April 2023. Patients aged > 18 years undergoing ileostomy or colostomy surgery, in possession of a compatible smartphone were included. The intervention group received the full version of the app containing personalized and time guidance, peer support, and generic (non-personalized) stoma-related information. The control group received a restricted version with only generic information. Primary outcome was stoma quality of life. Secondary outcomes included psychological adaption, complications, re-admittance, reoperations, and length of hospital stay. Results: The intervention version of the app was used by 96 patients and the control version by 112 patients. After correction for confounding, the intervention group reported a significant 3.1-point improvement in stoma-related quality of life one month postoperatively (p = 0.038). On secondary outcomes, no significant improvements could be retrieved of the intervention group. Conclusion: The Stoma App improves the quality of life of stoma patients. Peer support and personalized guidance are of significant importance in building self-efficacy. It is to be recommended to implement Stoma app—freely available software qualifying as a medical device—in standard stoma care pathways for the benefits of both patients and healthcare providers.</p
Impact of White Adipose Tissue on Brain Structure, Perfusion, and Cognitive Function in Patients With Severe Obesity: The BARICO Study
No full textBackground and Objective While underlying pathophysiology linking obesity to brain health is not completely understood, white adipose tissue (WAT) is considered a key player. In obesity, WAT becomes dysregulated, showing hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and eventually inflammation. This disbalance leads to dysregulated secretion of adipokines influencing both (cardio)vascular and brain health. Within this study, we investigated the association between omental WAT (oWAT) and subcutaneous WAT (scWAT) with brain structure and perfusion and cognition in adults with severe obesity. Methods Within the cross-sectional BARICO study, brain structure and perfusion and cognitive function were measured before bariatric surgery (BS) using MRI and cognitive assessments. During BS, oWAT and scWAT depots were collected and analyzed by histopathology. The number and diameter of adipocytes were quantified together with the amount of crown-like structures (CLS) as an indication of inflammation. Blood samples were collected to analyze adipokines and inflammatory markers. Neuroimaging outcomes included brain volumes, cortical thickness, white matter (WM) integrity, WM hyperintensities, cerebral blood flow using arterial spin labeling (ASL), and the ASL spatial coefficient of variation (sCoV), reflecting cerebrovascular health. Results Seventy-one patients were included (mean age 45.1 ± 5.8 years; 83.1% women; mean body mass index 40.8 ± 3.8 kg/m 2). scWAT showed more CLS (z = −2.72, p < 0.01, r = −0.24) and hypertrophy compared with oWAT (F(1,64) = 3.99, p < 0.05, η 2 = 0.06). Adiponectin levels were inversely associated with the average diameter of scWAT (β = −0.31, 95% CI −0.54 to −0.08) and oWAT (β = −0.33, 95% CI −0.55 to −0.09). Furthermore, the adipocyte diameter in oWAT was positively associated with the sCoV in the parietal cortex (β = 0.33, 95% CI 0.10–0.60), and the number of adipocytes (per mm 2) was positively associated with sCoV in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) (β = 0.34, 95% CI 0.09–0.61). Cognitive function did not correlate with any WAT parameter or plasma marker. These associations were highly influenced by age and sex. sCoV in the NAcc was positively associated with fasting plasma glucose (β = 0.35, 95% CI 0.10–0.56)
