  2. 1. Nanostructured Cellulose Biocomposites : Effects from dispersion, network and interface

    Author : Mohd Farhan Ansari; Lars Berglund; Jean-Francois Gerard; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood; cellulose nanofibrils; hygromechanical properties; network structure; thermoset; polymer matrix composites; natural fiber composites; pulp fiber; strain hardening; humidity; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The major load bearing component in native wood, cellulose nanofibrils, are potential candidates for use as reinforcement in polymer matrices. This study is based on nanocellulose composites and attempts to prepare and characterize biocomposites with high nanocellulose content and investigate the influence of nanostructure on macroscopic properties.

  4. 2. Acute inflammation in peritoneal dialysis. Experimental studies in rats. Characterization of regulatory mechanisms

    Author : Farhan Bazargani; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The predominant problems associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) are ultrafiltration failure and peritonitis. PD maintains a state of intraperitoneal inflammation that affects the structure and function of the peritoneal membrane, potentially impairing ultrafiltration efficiency. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synchrophasor based Steady State Model Synthesis of Active Distribution Networks

    Author : Farhan Mahmood; Luigi Vanfretti; Francisco Gonzalez-Longatt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active distribution networks; phasor measurement units; model synthesis; real-time simulation; hardware-in-the-loop.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : With the increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) at lower voltage levels, distribution networks (DNs) are being transformed into active grids. This has led to a paradigm shift in the operation, planning and control of DNs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Eyewitness testimonies : The memory and meta-memory effects of retellings and discussions with non-witnesses

    Author : Farhan Sarwar; Carl Martin Allwood; Åse Innes-Ker; Jan Andersson; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Eyewitness; Confidence; Meta-memory; Free recall; Focused questions; Retellings; Forensic information; Central information; Peripheral information; Reminiscence and Hypermnesia; Central information; Peripheral information; Forensic information; Retellings; Free recall; Confidence; Focused questions; Meta-memory; Eyewitness;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated the effects of eyewitnesses retellings and discussions with non-witnesses on the eyewitness memory and meta-memory judgments. In Study I, the effect of eyewitness discussions with non-witnesses (persons who had not experienced the event) on eyewitness memory and meta-memory realism for the overall information about an event was investigated.

  7. 5. Neuromuscular injuries and pharyngeal dysfunction in snorers and sleep apnea patients : a study on pathological changes in the human soft palate and its relationship with swallowing dysfunction

    Author : Farhan Shah; Per Stål; Sture Forsgren; Diana Berggren; Eva Svanborg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Axons; BDNF; desmin; dystrophin; obstructive sleep apnea; OSA; pharyngeal function; muscle; myopathy; neuropathy; Schwann cells; swallowing dysfunction; upper airway; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi; oto-rhino-laryngologi; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; patologi; Pathology; molecular cell biology; molekylär cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent progressive sleep disorder with serious negative health consequences. Although several risk factors such as obesity can make an individual vulnerable to develop OSA, the pathophysiological mechanism for the collapse of the upper airway is unclear. READ MORE
