  2. 1. Strategies for finding new magnetic materials

    Author : Simon Rosenqvist Larsen; Martin Sahlberg; Johan Cedervall; Paul Henry; John Paul Attfield; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic materials; Materials development; Alloys; Kemi med inriktning mot materialkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : Magnetic materials are indispensable in modern day society. The vast majority of energy generation and conversion involves some kind of magnetic material, and several other applications such as data storage also use them. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quality of Life in Adult Patients with Growth Hormone Deficiency : Bridging the gap between clinical evaluation and health economic assessment

    Author : Maria Kołtowska-Häggström; Kesrtin (Chris) Bingefors; Dag Isacson; Paul Kind; Jens Sandahl Christiansen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Health policy and health economics; growth hormone deficiency in adults; quality of life; cost-utility analysis; growth hormone replacement; normative data; QoL-AGHDA; Hälsopolitik och hälsoekonomi;

    Abstract : The goals of this thesis are to evaluate quality of life (QoL) in adult patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in relation to population normative data, to construct a preference-weighted index (utility) from a disease-specific QoL measure and to assess it in a clinical context.The study included samples from the general population and patients with GHD from four European populations: England & Wales, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.

  6. 4. Electromagnetic Fields in Moving and Inhomogeneous Media

    Author : Paul Piwnicki; KTH; []
    Keywords : Moving Media; Light; Genaral Relativity;

    Abstract : The present thesis deals with electromagnetic effectscreated by the motion or inhomogeneity of a dielectricmedium.In the first paper the quantum R\"ontgen effect isdiscussed. Here a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate -- oranother kind of quantum fluid -- is placed in a chargedcapacitor. The medium's rotation creates a magnetic field. READ MORE
