  2. 1. Applanation Resonance Tonometry for Intraocular Pressure Measurement

    Author : Per Hallberg; Olof A. Lindahl; Anders Eklund; Christina Lindén; Per Ask; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Physics; Resonance; applanation; tonometry; glaucoma; Goldmann; biomechanical; Intraocular; ART; Fysik; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the major risk factors for glaucoma. Since glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, reliable methods for measuring the IOP are important. This doctoral dissertation presents a new method, applanation resonance tonometry (ART), for measurement of IOP. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Phase Transition and Percolation in the Beach Model

    Author : Per Hallberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The beach model, which was introduced by Burton and Steif,has many features in common with the Ising model. We generalizesome results for the Ising model to the beach model, such asthe connection between phase transition and a certainpercolation event. READ MORE

  5. 3. Gibbs Measures and Phase Transitions in Potts and Beach Models

    Author : Per Hallberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : Potts model; beach model; percolation; random-cluster model; Gibbs measure; coupling; Markov chains on infinite trees; critical exponent;

    Abstract : The theory of Gibbs measures belongs to the borderlandbetween statistical mechanics and probability theory. In thiscontext, the physical phenomenon of phase transitioncorresponds to the mathematical concept of non-uniqueness for acertain type of probability measures.The most studied model in statistical mechanics is thecelebrated Ising model.

  6. 4. Novel Metal-Mediated Organic Transformations : Focusing on Microwave Acceleration and the Oxidative Heck Reaction

    Author : Per-Anders Enquist; Mats Larhed; Anders Hallberg; Troels Skrydstrup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Organic chemistry; palladium II ; oxidative Heck reaction; high-throughput-chemistry; microwave acceleration; dicobalt octacarbonyl; in situ carbonylation; urea; diaryl ketones; ESI-MS; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Transition metals have played an important role in synthetic organic chemistry for more than a century, and offer catalytic transformations that would have been impossible with classical chemistry. One of the most useful and versatile of the transition metals is palladium, which over the years has catalyzed many important carbon-carbon forming reactions. READ MORE

  7. 5. New methods to evaluate the effect of conventional and modified crosslinking treatment for keratoconus

    Author : Jeannette Beckman Rehnman; Christina Lindén; Anders Behndig; Per Hallberg; Jesper Hjortdal; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Keratoconus; crosslinking; light scattering; densitometry; keratometry; hysteresis; intraocular pressure; oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology;

    Abstract : Background: Today corneal crosslinking with ultraviolet-A photoactivation of riboflavin is an established method to halt the progression of keratoconus. In some cases, when the refractive errors are large and the visual acuity is low, conventional corneal crosslinking may not be sufficient. READ MORE
