  2. 21. Simulating Earthquake Rupture and Near-Fault Fracture Response

    Author : Billy Fälth; Björn Lund; Roland Roberts; Harald Hökmark; Eric Dunham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Abstract : Sweden is presently a low seismicity area where most earthquakes are small and pose no serious threat to constructions. For the long-term perspectives of safety assessments of geological repositories for spent nuclear fuel, however, the effects of large earthquakes have to be considered. READ MORE

  4. 22. Traumatic isolated rupture of the knee medial collateral ligament : diagnosis and long term effects

    Author : Magnus Lundberg; Per Renström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Isolated partial rupture of the knee medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most common traumatic knee ligament injury. Owing to the good short- and medium-term functional results after conservative treatment, this injury has been regarded as harmless. READ MORE

  5. 23. Ductile failure and rupture mechanisms in combined tension and shear

    Author : Imad Barsoum; Jonas Faleskog; Björn Skallerud; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis is generally concerned with the ductile failure and rupture mechanisms encountered under combined tension and torsion loading. In the first part entitled Paper A, an experimental investigation of the rupture mechanisms in a mid-strength and a high strength steel was conducted employing a novel test configuration. READ MORE

  6. 24. Source analysis of multiplet earthquakes (two case studies in Iran)

    Author : Samar Amini; Roland Roberts; Björn Lund; Zaher Hossein Shomali; Kuvvet Atakan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multiplet earthquakes; slip inversion; Coulomb stress; rupture directivity;

    Abstract : Multiplet earthquakes are large earthquakes of similar magnitude which occur close in time in the same limited geographical area. They are not common but they considerably increase the potential hazard in the area in which they occur. READ MORE

  7. 25. Caesarean Section : Short- and long-term maternal complications

    Author : Susanne Hesselman; Maria Jonsson; Ulf Högberg; Eva-Britta Råssjö; Jens Langhoff-Roos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adhesion; caesarean section; extremely preterm birth; gynaecologic surgery; organ injury; uterine rupture; trial of labour; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Caesarean section is a common major surgical procedure and long-term complications have not been fully investigated. By longitudinal population based register studies, based on National health registers and medical data records, maternal complications after caesarean delivery at subsequent labour (N=7 683), among extremely preterm births (N=406), and at remote gynaecologic surgery (N=25 354) were explored.
