  1. 1. Colon Cancer, Prognosis After Surgery : What Are the Risks of Recurrent Disease, and How Do We Find Those at Risk?

    Author : Erik Osterman; Tobias Sjöblom; Bengt Glimelius; Lars Karlsson; Mats Hellström; Ismail Gögenur; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colon cancer; recurrence risk; prediction model; biomarkers; Oncology; Onkologi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Colon cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide with approximately 1.2 million yearly cases. Developments in the standard of care have improved prognosis. In Paper I the recurrence risk was investigated in a national material consisting of 14,325 colon cancer patients. READ MORE

  2. 2. Sputtering and Characterization of Complex Multi-element Coatings

    Author : Erik Särhammar; Tomas Nyberg; Ulf Jansson; Urban Wiklund; Gustaf Sjöblom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thin film; coating; magnetron sputtering; modelling; tribofilm; tungsten disulphide;

    Abstract : The thin film technology is of great importance in modern society and is a key technology in wide spread applications from electronics and solar cells to hard protective coatings on cutting tools and diffusion barriers in food packaging. This thesis deals with various aspects of thin film processing and the aim of the work is twofold; firstly, to obtain a fundamental understanding of the sputter deposition and the reactive sputter deposition processes, and secondly, to evaluate sputter deposition of specific material systems with low friction properties and to improve their performance.

  3. 3. Forecasting of Icing Related Wind Energy Production Losses : Probabilistic and Machine Learning Approaches

    Author : Jennie Molinder; Anna Sjöblom; Heiner Körnich; Hans Bergström; Erik Nilsson; Sue Ellen Haupt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wind energy; Icing on wind turbines; Machine learning; Probabilistic forecasting; Meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Abstract : Icing on wind turbine blades causes significant production losses for wind energy in cold climate. Next-day forecasts of these production losses are crucial for the power balance in the electrical grid and for the trading process, but they are uncertain due to lack of understanding of, and simplifications, in the modelling chain.

  4. 4. Reliable Uncertainty Quantification in Statistical Learning

    Author : David Widmann; Fredrik Lindsten; Dave Zachariah; Erik Sjöblom; Dino Sejdinovic; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reliability; Calibration; Uncertainty; Probabilistic Model; Prediction; Julia; Machine learning; Maskininlärning;

    Abstract : Mathematical models are powerful yet simplified abstractions used to study, explain, and predict the behavior of systems of interest. This thesis is concerned with their latter application as predictive models. READ MORE

  5. 5. Role of Melatonin, Neuropeptide S and Short Chain Fatty Acids in Regulation of Duodenal Mucosal Barrier Function and Motility

    Author : Wan Salman Wan Saudi; Markus Sjöblom; Olof Nylander; Mark Berner-Hansen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 51Cr-EDTA; rat; in vivo; duodenum; enteric nervous system; paralytic ileus; parecoxib; bicarbonate secretion; motility; ethanol; HCl; melatonin; neuropeptide S; short chain fatty acids; chemosensing; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The duodenal epithelium is regularly exposed to HCl, digestive enzymes, bacteria and toxins, and sometimes also to ethanol and drugs. The imbalance of aggressive factors in the intestinal lumen and mucosal barrier function increases the risk of tissue injury and inflammation. READ MORE
