  2. 1. Survival of onlay bone grafts. A study in the adult rat

    Author : Monica Gordh; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rats; polytetrafluoroethylene; artificial; membrane; immunohistochemistry; cortical perforations; bone morphogenetic protein; bone marrow; bone; bone grafts; Odontologi; stomatology; Odontology; skull; tibia;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study onlay bone grafting in the adult rat to improve graft incorporation and perservation of graft size. In 167 adult isogeneic lewis rats, the size maintenance and bone formation at the graft-host interface of uni- and bicortical onlays positioned in various environments and treatments were investigated.

  4. 2. A clinical study of uncemented hip arthroplasty : radiological findings of host-bone reaction to the stem

    Author : Henrik Bodén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Arthroplasty; bone remodelling; DEXA; fixation; geometrical design; hydroxyapatite; osteoarthritis; scintigraphy; stem size; stress-shielding; tapered; titanium; uncemented; weight-bearing.;

    Abstract : In total hip arthroplasty (THA), the main reason for failure leading to revision is aseptic loosening. Both mechanical and biological effects act in the loosening process, the factors may be implant design, fixation mode or technique, as well as biological factors unique to the individual. READ MORE

  5. 3. Environmental Life-cycle Assessment in Microelectronics Packaging

    Author : Anders Andrae; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System-In-a-Package; microelectronics packaging; data collection; attributional environmental life-cycle assessment; uncertainty analysis; upstream processes; consequential life-cycle assessment; environmental life-cycle inventory; microelectronic products;

    Abstract : An increased understanding of the application of environmental Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies in the microelectronics packaging area should help in developing environmentally sound product systems. The aim of the present thesis is to increase the knowledge of using LCA tools, methods and models, in application to current and new microelectronic products. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tribological behaviour of polymers in lubricated contacts

    Author : Arash Golchin; Klaus Friedrich; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

    Abstract : An important issue in hydropower and other industries is the increasing demand for introduction of environment friendly solutions. Mineral oil based lubricants have long been used in various sliding bearings in hydropower stations. READ MORE

  7. 5. TRIBOCHEMICAL INTERACTIONS OF A PTFE/ALPHA ALUMINA COMPOSITE AT THE SLIDING INTERFACE: A MECHANISM FOR ULTRA LOW WEAR

    Author : Kathryn L Harris; USA University of Florida; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The wear and friction behavior of ultralow wear polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/αalumina composites first described by Burris and Sawyer in 2006 has been studied intensively in the years hence. The mechanisms responsible for the remarkable improvement in wear over unfilled PTFE are not yet fully understood. READ MORE
