2. 16. Assessment of lumbar radicular pain. Validity and predictive value of clinical tests

   Author : Harald Ekedahl; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Low back pain; validity; predictive value of test; radicular pain; transforaminal injection;

   Abstract : Radicular pain is in the majority of cases caused by a disc herniation with a coexisting inflammation. It is characterized by positive neural tension tests, such as the Slump test, and by decreased range of motion (ROM) in the straight leg raising test (SLR) and lumbar flexion (Fingertip-to-floor test[FTF]).

4. 17. Simulations of the Dynamics of Fibre Suspension Flows

   Author : Stefan B Lindström; Tetsu Uesaka; Myat Htun; Fritz Bark; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fibre; fibre suspension; simulation; paper; papermaking; forming; fibre orientation distribution; fibre flexibility; viscosity; first normal stress difference; fluid flow; simple shear flow; two-way coupling; three-dimensional; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : A new model for simulating non-Brownian flexible fibres suspended in a Newtonian fluid has been developed. Special attention has been given to include realistic flow conditions found in the industrial papermaking process in the key features of the model; it is the intention of the author to employ the model in simulations of the forming section of the paper machine in future studies.

5. 18. On Motion Control of Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuators

   Author : Martin Hochwallner; Petter Krus; Kalevi Huhtala; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuator; novel actuator; linear hydraulic actuator; tracking problem; hydraulic servo system; digital fluid power;

   Abstract : Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuators combine one or more short-stroke cylinders, and two or more engaging/disengaging mechanisms into one actuator with long, medium, or even unlimited stroke length. The motion of each single short-stroke actuator concatenated by the engaging/disengaging mechanisms forms the motion of the linear incremental hydraulic actuator. READ MORE

6. 19. Of Pipes and Bends

   Author : Jacopo Canton; Philipp Schlatter; Ramis Örlü; Dwight Barkley; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear instability; bifurcation; flow control; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : This work is concerned with the transition to turbulence of the flow in bent pipes, but it also includes an analysis of large-scale turbulent structures and their use for flow control.The flow in a toroidal pipe is selected as it represents the common asymptotic limit between spatially developing and helical pipes.

7. 20. Aspects of viscous shocks

   Author : Malin Siklosi; GUnilla Kreiss; Smadar Karni; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Numerical analysis; hyperbolic conservation laws; viscous shocks; modified equation; shock capturing; computer-assisted proofs; Numerisk analys; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and five papers concerning different numerical and mathematical aspects of viscous shocks. Hyperbolic conservation laws are used to model wave motion and advect- ive transport in a variety of physical applications. READ MORE
