  2. 6. Multi-Functional Composite Design Concepts for Rail Vehicle Car Bodies

    Author : David Wennberg; Sebastian Stichel; Per Wennhage; Thilo Bein; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Car body; Composite; Finite element; Lightweight; Multi-discipline; Multi-functional; Optimisation; Rail Vehicles; Sandwich Panels;

    Abstract : Structures and material combinations, tailored for multiple purposes, are within the reach of vehicle manufacturers. Besides reducing the environmental impact of the transportation sector these multi-functional structures can reduce costs, such as development, manufacturing and maintenance, and at the same time offer improved comfort to the passengers.

  4. 7. To scar or not to scar : origin and function of fibrotic tissue in the central nervous system

    Author : David Oliveira Dias; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : After injury, the adult mammalian central nervous system lacks long-distance axon regeneration, and insufficient repair results in the formation of a multicellular and compartmentalized scar. A great body of work has been dedicated to the study of the glial component of the scar, while the fibrotic lesion core has received less attention. READ MORE

  5. 8. Mathematical modelling of flow through thin curved pipes with application to hemodynamics

    Author : Arpan Ghosh; Vladimir Kozlov; Matts Karlsson; David Rule; Grigory Panasenko; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The problem of mathematical modelling of incompressible flows with low velocities through narrow curvilinear pipes is addressed in this thesis. The main motivation for this modelling task is to eventually model the human circulatory system in a simple way that can facilitate the medical practitioners to efficiently diagnose any abnormality in the system.

    Abstract : Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative weakening of the aortic wall, mainly affecting elderly men with a prevalence of 4.4-7.7 %. READ MORE

  7. 10. The Role of Chlamydophila Pneumoniae in the Inflammatory Response and Expansion of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

    Author : Lars Karlsson; Håkan Pärsson; David Bergqvist; Janet Powell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Abdominal aortic aneurysm; Chlamydophila pneumoniae; inflammation; aspirin; statin; expansion; randomised clinical trial; Vascular surgery; Kärlkirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common disease that develops gradually over several years and is characterised by weakening and dilatation of the aortic wall. AAAs also demonstrates a marked inflammatory infiltrate throughout the aortic wall. Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae), is a common bacterium. READ MORE
