2. 1. Ab initio Lattice Dynamics : Hydrogen-dense and Other Materials

   Author : Duck Young Kim; Rajeev Ahuja; Richard Needs; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Density functional perturbation theory; Hydrogen-dense materials; Phase transition; High pressure; Ab initio lattice dynamics; Superconductivity; Quasi-particle approximation; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a theoretical study of materials under high pressure using ab initio lattice dynamics based on density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory using both super-cell and linear response approach. Ab initio lattice dynamics using super-cell approach is applied to compare our theoretical predictions with experimental findings. READ MORE

   Abstract : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have shown high variability in learning outcomes in response to evidence-based interventions, suggesting a need for individualization of intervention programmes for each child and his/her family. To explain this variability and develop effective intervention strategies research suggested focusing on identification of important contextual factors that might influence the effectiveness of a specific intervention for each child such as family cultural characteristics and characteristics of service settings and systems.

   Author : Richard Blomfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : displaced cervical femoral neck fractures; internal fixation; arthroplasty; total hip replacement; bipolar hip replacement.;

   Abstract : The optimal treatment for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, i.e. internal fixation (IF), hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip replacement (THR), should be based on the individual patient's age, functional demands and risk profile. READ MORE

7. 5. Manufacturing Resource Modelling for Productivity Management

   Author : Richard Hedman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; work study; Production improvement; productivity measurement; capacity;

   Abstract : The role of manufacturing has been vital for the creation of welfare in advanced economies ever since the industrial revolution.
