The authors present a very interesting data set on the acceleration effects on sheet flow transport and compare their experimental results with different transport practical formulas. However, they omit some previous work by Camenen and Larson (2007) that we would like to bring to the authors' attention. A more extensive discussion on some aspects of the acceleration effects is also lacking in the

Effective human input devices for computer control are very important to quadriplegics and others with severe disabilities. This paper describes a framework for computer control without need for special PC software or drivers. The framework is based on a tongue control system recently developed at Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction (SMI), Aalborg University. The framework provides emulation of a

Lack of courses in emergency medicine for doctors under training is currently a problem in Sweden. Only 10 percent will have these courses early under their internship. The University hospital in Malmoe has therefore decided to create a course for doctors under training and to offer it early in their education. The curriculum is based on a problem-based learning concept using a modified case metho

We present a detailed study of the three members of the 1 T-transition metal dichalcogenides: TiSe2, TaSe2 and TaS2 by means of the X-ray photoelectron diffraction combined with single-scattering simulations. Our simulations of different surface terminations and their comparison with the measured diffraction patterns allow to determine that the cleavage occurs within the van der Waals gap. Singles

Fire and flame spread are very complex phenomenon to study. Several aspects need to be considered and treated. In order to be able to do a correct analysis of the flame spread phenomenon, which is necessary to be able to predict flame spread, knowledge of material properties are needed. Material properties can be obtained in different ways. Traditionally material data have been obtained by testin

Aims To calculate the population-attributable risk (PAR) of coronary events (CE) from 10 risk factors, during long-term follow-up. Methods We used both case-cohort and case-control analyses for calculation of PAR in relation to 10 baseline risk factors. First CE (fatal or nonfatal, n = 3072) in 22 444 males and 10 902 females was recorded during a mean follow-up of 20 years by use of national regi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är idag den vanligaste dödsorsaken i stora delar av världen för både män och kvinnor. I Sverige är hjärtinfarkt den vanligaste dödsorsaken för kvinnor över 55 år och för män över 45 år. Det vill säga kvinnor drabbas cirka 10 år senare. Tidigare forskning har baserats i huvudsak på män varvid forskning på kvinnor med hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar har Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the sleading cause of mortality in men and women in Western society. Few studies of CHD have been performed on women or with a focus on cardiac risk factors in women’s lives. Results from studies of men have been generalized to women, which may be inappropriate or even dangerous. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe women’s experience of a

Purpose: It has previously been shown that continuous intratracheal insufflation of oxygen (CIO) is superior to intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) regarding gas exchange and haemodynamics. The purpose of this study was to investigate gas exchanged and haemodynamics with a new technique of phase-controlled intermittent insufflation of oxygen (PIIO) compared to CIO. Method: Twenty (20

The optimisation of occupational radiological protection is challenging and a variety of factors have to be considered. Physicians performing image-guided interventions are working in an environment with one of the highest radiation risk levels in healthcare. Appropriate knowledge about the radiation environment is a prerequisite for conducting the optimisation process. Information about the dose

Introduction: Women who smoke, deliver significantly smaller infants. These infants have reduced levels of the vasodilator endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) levels in the umbilical vessels, which may reduce fetal growth. Serum cotinine, the degradation product of nicotine, can be used to determine the level of tobacco exposure. Newborns of environmental smokers are suggested to be smaller a

IntroductionA Cloud-ORiented Engine for advanced MRI simulations (coreMRI) is presented in this study. The aim was to develop the first advanced MR simulation platform delivered as a web service through an on-demand, scalable cloud-based and GPU-based infrastructure. We hypothesized that such an online MR simulation platform could be utilized as a virtual MRI scanner but also as a cloud-based, hig

The objective of this study was to supplement continuous wavelet transforms with muscle synergies in a fatigue analysis to better describe the combination of decreased firing frequency and altered activation profiles during dynamic muscle contractions. Nine healthy young individuals completed the dynamic tasks before and after they squatted with a standard Olympic bar until complete exhaustion. El

Intensive agricultural management negatively affects both natural enemies of pests and pollinators. Such management also has the potential to adversely affect the ecosystem services that these communities confer. Organic management has been proposed as an alternative method to mitigate such problems by restoring the services provided by arthropod communities. We evaluated the effect of organic man

This thesis is trying to identify and give solutions for the problems occurring in polyurethane sport surfaces in Iraq where the climate is extremely warm and dusty. One of the most important problems (called the ‘maintenance’ problem) is that the polyurethane sport surface looks very dirty because of the dust, a couple of weeks after installation of the surface the dust particles penetrates the s

Transposable elements compose roughly 50% of the human genome and have been proven to have a great impact on the genome as a source of genetic variation. Because of this they are normally silenced by various mechanisms one of which being CpG DNA methylation. In this study We analysed the insertional landscapes and methylation levels of reference LINE-1 elements in humans, chimpanzees and rhesus mo

Magnesium är bland de lättaste metaller och har potential att bidra till minskad klimatpåverkan inom många områden. Med sin låga densitet på 1,74 g/cm³ kan lättviktsmaterial av magnesium minska energiförbrukning. Dessutom är metallen biologiskt nedbrytbar, vilket gör den perfekt för medicinska implantat som inte behöver opereras ut. Utmaningen är att ren magnesium är för svag och för spröd för de
