  2. 1. Knee function, knee proprioception and related brain activity following anterior cruciate ligament injury

    Author : Andrew Strong; Charlotte Häger; Eva Tengman; Divya Srinivasan; Eleni Kapreli; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament; knee; proprioception; joint position sense; kinematics; injury prevention; sports; functional magnetic resonance imaging; brain; reliability; validity; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy; Sports Medicine; idrottsmedicin; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) may have negative effects on the short- and long-term function and proprioception of the knee joint. However, existing tests of knee function are often sports-related and less relevant for assessment in the very long term and there remains no ‘gold standard’ test of knee proprioception. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Modelling of Fracture Using Strong Discontinuities

    Author : Martin Fagerström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fracture; strong discontinuity; material forces; finite deformations; FEM;

    Abstract : The major concern of this work is the constitutive and numerical modelling of fracture,based on strong discontinuity formulations. More particularly, an extended finiteelement approach is used, where the total displacement is separated in two mutuallyindependent fields, representing the continuous and discontinuous displacement respectively.

  5. 3. Investigations of Strong Light-Matter Interactions in Nanophotonic Systems

    Author : Michael Stührenberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photoluminescence; strong coupling; localized surface plasmon resonance; bipyramids;

    Abstract : Noble metal nanoparticles can support localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), thus behaving as open optical resonators. Outstanding optical properties as well as a subwavelength mode volume make plasmonic nanoparticles a promising platform for enhanced light-matter interactions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hot-carrier generation and strong coupling in metal nanoparticles

    Author : Jakub Fojt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hot carriers; strong coupling; nanoparticles; nanoplasmonics;

    Abstract : Metal nanoparticles are an emerging platform for energy applications such as photovoltaics, solar-to-fuel conversion and photocatalysis. Nanoparticles confine the oscillating electromagnetic field of visible light to very small volumes, which allows for efficient absorption and scattering of light in the solar spectral range.

  7. 5. Strong light-matter interaction and its consequences on molecular photophysics

    Author : Manuel Hertzog; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Strong coupling; Vibropolariton; Polaritonic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Strong light-matter interaction offers the possibility to modify chemical and physical properties of molecules by modifying their photonic environment, resulting in the creation of hybrid light-matter states, known as polaritons. The field of polaritonic chemistry using microfluidic cavities is in its infancy, and developing methods to increase the coupling strength are necessary to maximise the effects of polaritonic states.
