  2. 1. Development of a New Biomechanical ex vivo Perfusion System - Studies on effects of biomechanical and inflammatory stress on hemostatic genes in human vascular endothelium

    Author : Niklas Bergh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ex vivo perfusion system; biomechanical; endothelium; shear stress; tensile stress; pulsatile; TNF-α; JNK; hemostatic genes;

    Abstract : The vascular endothelium is a multifunctional interface constantly exposed to biomechanical forces such as shear and tensile stress. Biomechanical stress is involved in the pathophysiological process of the vessel wall and thus affects vascular remodeling, atherosclerosis and thrombogenesis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pulsatile insulin release from single islets of Langerhans

    Author : Johanna Westerlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; islets of Langerhans; insulin; ELISA; cytoplasmic calcium; oscillations; type 2 diabetes; glucose; diazoxide; potassium; tolbutamide; DNP; antimycin A; iodoacetamide; microfluorometry; fura-2; KATP channels; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology;

    Abstract : Insulin release from single islets of Langerhans is pulsatile. The secretory activities of the islets in the pancreas are coordinated resulting in plasma insulin oscillations. Nutrients amplitude-regulate the insulin pulses without influencing their frequency. READ MORE

  5. 3. Urban Stormwater Treatment with Ultrafiltration and Pulsatile Fluid Flow

    Author : Saida Kaykhaii; Inga Herrmann; Annelie Hedström; Ekaterina Sokolova; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering; Centrumbildning - Centrum för dagvattenhantering DRIZZLE ; Centre - Centre for Stormwater Management DRIZZLE ;

    Abstract : Stormwater can be a potential water resource if it is treated, and the quality meets the demand, depending on the application. Various nutrients and pollutants, for example microorganisms can enter stormwater and can vary depending on time and place, as the contaminants come from different sources. READ MORE

  6. 4. Numerical computations of the unsteady flow in a radial turbine

    Author : Fredrik Hellström; Laszlo Fuchs; Jonas Bredberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pulsatile flow; radial turbines; pipe flow; effects of inlet conditions; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : Non-pulsatile and pulsatile flow in bent pipes and radial turbine has been assessed with numerical simulations. The flow field in a single bent pipe has been computed with different turbulence modelling approaches. READ MORE

  7. 5. Large Eddy Simulations of Complex Flows in IC-Engine's Exhaust Manifold and Turbine

    Author : Johan Fjällman; Laszlo Fuchs; Mihai Mihaescu; Ricardo Martinez-Botas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Large Eddy Simulations; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; Turbocharger; Turbine; Curved Pipes; Pulsatile Flow; Proper Orthogonal Decomposition; Large Eddy Simulations; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; Turboladdare; Turbin; Rörkrök; Pulserande Flöde; Proper Orthogonal Decomposition; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with the flow in pipe bends and radial turbines geometries that are commonly found in an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). The development phase of internal combustion engines relies more and more on simulations as an important complement to experiments. READ MORE
