  2. 6. Suspensions of finite-size rigid particles in laminar and turbulent flows

    Author : Walter Fornari; Luca Brandt; Jérémie Bec; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Suspensions; complex fluids; sedimentation; rheology; turbulence;

    Abstract : Dispersed multiphase flows occur in many biological, engineering and geophysical applications. Understanding the behavior of suspensions is a difficult task. In the present work, we numerically study the behavior of suspensions of finite-size rigid particles in different flows. READ MORE

  4. 7. Methods for analysis of heart function

    Author : Håkan Kronander; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is a continuous demand for improvements in methods foranalysis of heart function. This thesis investigates both themeasurement of left ventricular (LV) volume for evaluating theheart function and the exercise electrocardiographic (ECG) testfor diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).

  5. 8. Short-term pulmonary side-effects following radiation therapy in breast cancer

    Author : Pehr Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : breast neoplasm; radiotherapy; pulmonary side-effects;

    Abstract : The purpose of this dissertation was to study the short-term pulmonary side-effects following adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer in terms of clinical pulmonary complications, loss of pulmonary function and radiological abnormalities, and the association to irradiated lung volume and dose. Furthermore, we wanted to estimate the influence of covariates, e. READ MORE

  6. 9. Roles of intermolecular interactions in amyloid fibril formation mechanisms

    Author : Tony Werner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; disulfide-bonds; Atox1; α-synuclein; Aggregation; protein interactions; Parkinson’s disease; β-parvalbumin; macromolecular crowding; osmolytes; Amyloid fibrils;

    Abstract : Amyloid fibrils, a major pathological feature of several neurodegenerative disorders, are highly stable, insoluble aggregates of misfolded proteins. The formation of such aggregates involves a complex equilibrium between protein monomers, different on- and off-pathway transient oligomeric species, and amyloid fibrils. READ MORE

  7. 10. A Novel Immersed-Boundary Method for Multiple Moving and Interacting Bodies

    Author : Andreas Mark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluid-structure interaction; DNS; immersed-boundary method;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the development, implementation and validation of an implicit, second order accurate, finite-volume and instationary immersed-boundary method for simulating the detailed flow around multiple arbitrary moving and interacting bodies. The potential for flows including moving bodies or boundaries, such as multiphase flows still has to be fully realized. READ MORE
