  2. 21. Rehabilitation after stroke with focus on early supported discharge and post-stroke fatigue

    Author : Anna Bråndal; Per Wester; Lillemor Lundin-Olsson; Eva-Lotta Glader; Lena von Koch; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; early supported discharge; post-stroke fatigue; patient reported outcome measurement; Fatigue assessment scale; cardiorespiratory training; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy;

    Abstract : Background Stroke is a major cause of disability worldwide. After treatment in a specialized stroke unit, early supported discharge (ESD) followed by home rehabilitation has shown to be an effective way to improve patient outcome and quality of care for persons with mild to moderate stroke.

  6. 24. Mechanical properties and microstructure of laser sintered and starch consolidated iron-based powders

    Author : Yu Wang; Jens Bergström; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Powder metallurgy; Laser sintering; Microstructure; Fatigue; Thermal fatigue; Wear; Starch consolidation; Rapid forming; Net shaping; Liquid phase sintering; Nitriding; High speed steels; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materialteknik; Materials Engineering;

    Abstract : In powder metallurgy research field, Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Metal Powder Starch Consolidation (MPSC) are relatively new rapid forming techniques to fabricate complex and near net-shaped components. The working principles of DMLS are to melt and fuse metal powder layer by layer in computer controlled systems to pile up components like three dimensional printing. READ MORE

  7. 25. A Framework for Fatigue Analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Structures

    Author : Sara Eliasson; Zuheir Barsoum; Per Wennhage; Kim Branner; KTH; []
