  2. 1. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy : influence of restraint and type of training on performance and on brain plasticity

    Author : Christina Brogårdh; Bengt H Sjölund; Michael Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Constraint induced movement therapy; hand; stroke; group practise; reliability; mode of training; dexterity; brain plasticity; Medicin; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Abstract : Partial paralysis of the hand is one of the main impairments after stroke. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIT) is a new treatment technique that appears to improve upper extremity function after stroke. READ MORE

  4. 2. Analysis, synthesis and application of automaton-based constraint descriptions

    Author : María Andreína Francisco Rodríguez; Justin Pearson; Pierre Flener; Christopher Jefferson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; constraint programming; constraint predicates; global constraints; automata; automaton-described constraint predicates; automaton-induced constraint decompositions; implied constraints; time-series constraints; transducers; automaton invariants; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Constraint programming (CP) is a technology in which a combinatorial problem is modelled as a conjunction of constraints on variables ranging over given initial domains, and optionally an objective function on the variables. Such a model is given to a general-purpose solver performing systematic search to find constraint-satisfying domain values for the variables, giving an optimal value to the objective function.

  5. 3. Steel-to-timber dowel joints : Influence of moisture induced stresses

    Author : Johan Sjödin; Hans Petersson; Carl-Johan Johansson; Per-Johan Gustavsson; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; constraint stresses; contact-free measurement; dowel-type joints; humidity variations; moisture-induced deformations; timber structures; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Joints are critical parts of timber structures, transmitting static and dynamic forces between structural members. The ultimate behavior of a loaded building depends strongly on the structural configuration and the capacity of the joints. READ MORE

  6. 4. Lower-extremity constraint-induced movement therapy in individuals with stroke : improvements, experiences, and health-related quality of life

    Author : Ingela Marklund; Xiao-Lei Hu; Britt-Marie Stålnacke; Maria Klässbo; Brynjar Fure; Christina Brogårdh; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; rehabilitation; high-intensity; lower-extremity; constraint-induced movement therapy; physiotherapy; experiences; qualitative content analysis; health-related quality of life; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Stroke is the third-leading cause of disability worldwide, and there are rehabilitation needs not only in the first year but throughout the lifetime. The ability to walk is crucial in everyday life since it affects mobility, self-care, and social activities. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling and Optimization of Reversed-Phase Chromatography : Effects of Modulators and Temperature

    Author : Karolina Arkell; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reversed-phase chromatography; Hydrophobic interaction chromatography; Mechanistic modeling; INSULIN; KCl; Ethanol; Temperature; Multi-objective optimization; Constraint; Solubility;

    Abstract : Many widespread diseases, such as diabetes, various types of cancer, and aggressive versions of influenza, are treated or prevented with biopharmaceuticals. Biopharmaceuticals are drugs that are based on proteins, peptides, antibodies, attenuated viruses (vaccines), and other biomolecules that are synthesized predominately in bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells.
