2. 1. Population-based prediction of atrial fibrillation

   Author : Gustav Smith; Kardiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; prediction; epidemiology; genetics; natriuretic peptide; heart failure;

   Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and increases in prevalence. As AF confers increased risk of morbidity, stroke, dementia and mortality, a major objective of cardiovascular epidemiology today is the development of tools for prediction and prevention of AF and its consequences.

4. 2. Nonlinear response in engineered optical materials

   Author : Gustav Strömqvist; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Peter Smith; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonlinear optics; nonlinear index of refraction; double tungstates; periodic poling; KTiOPO4; quasi-phase matching; parametric down-conversion; mirrorless optical parametric oscillators;

   Abstract : Material and structure engineering are increasingly employed in active optical media,in this context defined as media capable of providing laser or/and optical parametric gain. For laser materials, the main aim of the engineering is to tailor the absorption and emission cross sections in order to optimise the laser performance. READ MORE

5. 3. Hilbert schemes and Rees algebras

   Author : Gustav Sædén Ståhl; David Rydh; Karen Smith; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Abstract : The topic of this thesis is algebraic geometry, which is the mathematical subject that connects polynomial equations with geometric objects. Modern algebraic geometry has extended this framework by replacing polynomials with elements from a general commutative ring, and studies the geometry of abstract algebra. READ MORE
