2. 1. The household decision making process in replacement of durable goods

   Author : Agneta Marell Molander; Per Davidsson; Tommy Gärling; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Household decision making process; replacements; durable goods;

   Abstract : As durables are essential in many households, the level of ownership is high and, due to the high degree of penetration, a vast proportion of the current sales are replacement purchases. Even though a lot of research attention has been paid to decision making and decision processes many models are oriented towards non-durable goods and although a majority of purchases of many durable goods are replacements, few studies seem to make a distinction between a replacement purchase decision and a decision to buy an item for the first time.

   Abstract : For more than 50 years total hip replacements have been a common and successful procedure to increase patient mobility and quality of life. The 10-year implant survival rate is 97.8%. READ MORE

5. 3. Friction and Wear Mechanisms of Ceramic Surfaces : With Applications to Micro Motors and Hip Joint Replacements

   Author : Johanna Olofsson; Staffan Jacobson; Håkan Engqvist; Koshi Adachi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tribology; Friction; Wear; Ceramic; Tribofilm; Alumina; Silicon nitride; Ultrasonic Motors; Hip Joint Replacement; PVD coating; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

   Abstract : Surfaces exposed to wear always transform and typically a layer of new structure and composition is formed. This layer, often called tribofilm, changes the friction and wear properties. READ MORE

6. 4. Functional properties of silicon nitride based materials for joint applications

   Author : Luimar N. Corrêa Filho; Cecilia Persson; Julia Shelton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Silicon nitride; Coatings; Wear; Joint replacements; HiPIMS; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

   Abstract : Total hip and total knee replacements are generally successful procedures for patients suffering with pain due to bone fracture or diseases affecting the joints. However, the materials that are commonly used still have limitations. In particular, corrosion products and wear debris may give rise to negative body reactions. READ MORE
