4. 2. Modelling the Variability of Bending Strength in Structural Timber - Length and Load Configuration Effects

   Author : Tord Isaksson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; code; reliability-based design; Weibull; test standard; load configuration effect; length effect; weak section; machine grading; visual grading; variability; Structural timber; bending strength; simulation; monte carlo simulation.; Building construction; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract : The load carrying capacity of a beam of structural timber is dependent both on the span of the beam and the type of loading. The longer the beam and the more uniform the moment distribution, the lower the load carrying capacity. This phenomenon is due to the variability of material properties within a piece of timber.

5. 3. The Maternal Migration Effect : Exploring Maternal Healthcare in Diaspora Using Qualitative Proxies for Medical Anthropology

   Author : Pauline Binder; Birgitta Essén; Sara Johnsdotter; Helen Lambert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : caesarean section; care encounter; constructivist; interpreter use; migration; Somali; African immigrant; socio-cultural factors; International Health; Internationell hälsa;

   Abstract : This project explores the 'maternal migration effect'. Following migration to a high-income country with a low maternal mortality rate, we assume that some immigrant women’s reliance upon maternal practices that respond to a low-income, high-mortality context can adversely affect care-seeking and utilization of treatment facilities.

   Abstract : According to earlier research, emergency cesarean section (Em CS) can have a deleterious effect on maternal psychological well-being. Whether the women thus delivered already had more psychological problems during pregnancy than other women, is not known. READ MORE

7. 5. The mechanics in two nanosized systems : Size effect and threshold field

   Author : Martin Olsen; Håkan Olin; Ulf Lindefelt; Sven Öberg; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the mechanics in two nanosized system. Paper I investigates a size effect in a cantilever nanowire affecting its resonance frequency. Paper II reveals a threshold field for the formation of a mound by the diffusion of surface atoms on a substrate under a STM-tip. READ MORE
