  2. 16. Surface tension-driven flow in soft porous materials — An investigation of the mechanism of capillary flow in microchannels of hydrogels

    Author : Johanna Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wetting on soft materials; Capillary flow; alginate gel; capillary action;

    Abstract : Spontaneous spreading of liquids in porous materials is of great industrial relevance and occurs in, for example, diapers, fabrics, paper or paint. Often, it is necessary to manipulate the spreading rate of liquids to result in the desired mass transport, for example to soak up large liquid volumes, as in a diaper. READ MORE

  4. 17. Three-dimensional T1 quantification techniques for assessment of cartilage quality using dGEMRIC

    Author : Carl Siversson; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disease and one of the major global causes for functional disabilities. The disease is characterized by loss and degradation of cartilage, commonly affecting the knees and hips. READ MORE

  5. 18. Guinea pig osteoarthrosis : morphological and biochemical studies

    Author : Lei Wei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hartley guinea pigs spontaneously and reproducibly develop an arthropathy mimicking human primary osteoarthrosis. The morphological lesions first appear between 6 and 12 months of age, when it is confined to the non-meniscus-covered central compartment of the medial tibial plateau without initially involving the lateral side.

  6. 19. Heat transfer phenomena and mould flux lubrication in continuous casting of steel

    Author : Akira Yamauchi; KTH; []
    Keywords : Heat Transfer; Thermal Conductivity; Contact Resistance; Mould Flux; Solidification; Lubrication; Infiltration; Friction; Shear Stress; Modeling; Crystallization; Rupture Strength; Solidus; High-Speed Casting; Viscosity; Elasticity; Uniform Cooling;

    Abstract : Overall thermal resistance of the mould flux was measured tomake clear the influence of the mould flux properties on theheat transfer behavior in continuous casting, especiallythermal conductivity and the formation of air gaps in thisstudy. From the investigation of the effect of the mouldsurface temperature and physical properties of the mould fluxon heat transfer through the flux film, following knowledge hasbeen obtained. READ MORE

  7. 20. On treatment of medial gonarthrosis

    Author : Ingemar Ivarsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This study, comprising 7 separate papers, is concerned with treatment of medial gonarthrosis.Results after high tibial osteotomy were found to deteriorate 8-9 years after surgery. The best results were seen in knees with preoperative Stage I or II osteoarthrosis and valgus deviation after osteotomy. READ MORE
