  2. 21. Risk factors for prostate cancer : analysis of primary data, pooling, and related methodological aspects

    Author : Andrea Discacciati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men worldwide, yet its etiology remains poorly understood. Obesity, on the other hand, is a prevalent but preventable medical condition that is associated with hormonal and metabolic changes. READ MORE

  4. 22. Development and Application of Uncertainty Analysis Approaches for MELCOR Simulations of Severe Accidents

    Author : Wanhong Wang; Weimin Ma; Florian Fichot; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Severe accident; MELCOR; uncertainty analysis; Wilks’ method; Bootstrapped artificial neural network; deterministic sampling method; 95 95 tolerance limit.; Svåra haverier; MELCOR; osäkerhetsanalys; Wilks’ metod; artificiella neuronnät; deterministiska urvalsmetoder; 95 95-toleransgränser.;

    Abstract : The contemporary needs in advancing safety analysis methods and the increasing stringency in light water reactor (LWR) safety in the post-Fukushima era require more advanced and systematical approaches for severe accident analyses. The best estimate plus uncertainty (BEPU) methods are among such approaches and have been widely used for deterministic safety analysis (DSA) of design basis accidents (DBAs). READ MORE

  5. 23. Increasing efficiency of the breeding pipeline for East African highland bananas

    Author : Michael Batte; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Banana breeding is a technically challenging endeavor due to the low reproductive fertility, low seed germination, long selection cycle period and large space requirement for field evaluation, among others. Innovations in the current breeding program are required to increase the rate of genetic gain delivery to farmers. READ MORE

  6. 24. Pharmacometric Models in Anesthesia and Analgesia
