  2. 11. Thermal system analysis of embedded building integrated heating - Numerical model and validation of hydronic floor heating systems

    Author : Henrik Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; radiant heating; floor heating; low temperature hydronic heating; whole building thermal system analysis; Simulink modelling; Building integrated heating;

    Abstract : A numerical simulation tool for building integrated heating (BIH) systems is developed. BIH is defined as a heat supply system that maintains the indoor thermal comfort within acceptable limits by means of a controlled heat supply to the inner of the building envelope/structure.

  4. 12. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Perineal and Vaginal Tears in Primiparous Women

    Author : Markus Jansson; Kerstin Nilsson; Karin Franzén; Gunilla Tegerstedt; Anna Marie Ellström Engh; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pelvic floor dysfunction; perineal tears; vaginal tears; postpartum; primiparous women;

    Abstract : Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), including urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence (FI), and pelvic organ prolapse, is highly prevalent among parous women. There is evidence that pregnancy, vaginal delivery, and obstetric perineal tears increase the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction, but many of the studies in this field are retrospective. READ MORE

  5. 13. Pelvic floor dysfunction. A vaginal surface EMG study in healthy and incontinent women

    Author : Marianne Gunnarsson; Urologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi; Urology; vaginal surface EMG.; traumatic delivery; pelvic floor muscles; neuromuscular dysfunction; Female incontinence; magnetic stimulation;

    Abstract : Dysfunction of the pelvic floor can lead to incontinence and different forms of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Urinary incontinence is a common problem and about 500 000 persons in Sweden, mostly (2/3) women, suffering from incontinence. READ MORE

  6. 14. Characteristics of BVOC emissions from a Swedish boreal forest : Using chambers to capture biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from trees and forest floor

    Author : Min Wang; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; BVOCs; boral forest; Norway spruce; forest floor; branch chamber; soil chamber;

    Abstract : Plant-emitted biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a large group of hydrocarbons released by plant leaves, bark, flowers and fruits into the atmosphere and from plant roots into the soil. BVOCs have important physiological and ecological functions, such as mediating within-plant and plant-plant communication, defense against herbivores attack, protection against heat or other oxidative stress, attracting pollinators etc. READ MORE

  7. 15. Financial benefits of shop floor productivity improvements

    Author : Robin Sundkvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Productivity; Cash flow; Manufacturing;

    Abstract : The prevailing situation in the global economy calls for innovative productivity investment approaches aiming to prevent further labour force reductions and to restore manufacturers’ competitiveness. The purpose of this research initiative has been to motivate production managers to invest in productivity improvements by establishing a framework that explains how shop floor productivity improvements provide financial benefits.
