  4. 7. Topology Optimization for Wave Propagation Problems

    Author : Eddie Wadbro; Martin Berggren; Steven J. Cox; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis considers topology optimization methods for wave propagation problems. These methods make no a priori assumptions on topological properties such as the number of bodies involved in the design. The performed studies address problems from two different areas, acoustic wave propagation and microwave tomography. READ MORE

  5. 8. Developmental disturbances of the embryo in diabetic pregnancy

    Author : Parri Wentzel; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Maternal diabetes during pregnancy constitutes an increased risk for congenital malformation in the offspring. Previous studies have suggested that diabetic embryopathy is associated with an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as with a disturbance of prostaglandin (PG) metabolism. READ MORE

  6. 9. Essays on the Assumption of Proportional Hazards in Cox Regression

    Author : Inger Persson; Kenneth Carling; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Informatics; computer and systems science; Proportional hazards; Cox regression; Proportionality assumption; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap; statistik; Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers about the assumption of proportional hazards for the Cox model in survival analysis. The first paper compares the hazard ratio estimated from the Cox model to an exact calculation of the geometric average of the hazard ratio when the underlying assumption of proportional hazards is false, i.e. READ MORE
