  2. 1. Gastrointestinal transit in health and disease

    Author : Riadh Sadik; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Small bowel transit; colonic transit; gastric emptying; gender; bile acid malabsorption; body mass index; celiac disease; portal hypertension; menopause;

    Abstract : The uptake of nutrients occurs mainly in the small bowel. However, the time nutrients and other contents spend in the small bowel, i.e. the small bowel transit time is widely uncharacterised in man. READ MORE

  4. 2. Preparedness for mass-casualty attacks on public transportation

    Author : Annelie Holgersson; Ulf Björnstig; Britt-Inger Saveman; Dzenan Sahovic; Per Örtenwall; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antagonism; disaster medicine; emergency response; emergency organizations; mass transit; preparedness; rescue work; security; terrorism; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Background: Public transportation constitutes a vulnerable sector in modern day society with a high probability of generating mass casualties if attacked. By preparing for mass-casualty attacks (MCAs), response can become more effective and public transportation can become a less rewarding target. READ MORE

  5. 3. Measurements and Models of One-Way Transit Time in IP Routers

    Author : Doru Constantinescu; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Traffic measurements; Traffic modeling; Delay performance;

    Abstract : The main goals of this thesis are towards an understanding of the delay process in best-effort Internet for both non-congested and congested networks. A novel measurement system is reported for delay measurements in IP routers, which follows specifications of the IETF RFC 2679. READ MORE
