  2. 1. Obesity, weight reduction treatment and IVF

    Author : Snorri Einarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obesity; infertility; low calorie diet; weight reduction; in vitro fertilization; adipokines;

    Abstract : Background: Obesity is a growing problem on a global scale and women with obesity have a higher risk for infertility and complications, for both mother and child, in pregnancy and birth. This has been shown both regarding spontaneous pregnancy and in vitro fertilization (IVF). READ MORE

  4. 2. Obesity and IVF outcome. The hope of improvements through weight reduction

    Author : Linda Kluge; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infertility; IVF; obesity; weight reduction; live birth; patient s views; maternal outcome; perinatal outcome;

    Abstract : Background: Female obesity is associated with decreased live birth rate (LBR) after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes are increased in obese women compared to normal weight women after spontaneous conceived pregnancies. If the same applies in pregnancies achieved after IVF is scarcely investigated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigating the parameters that influence the behaviour of natural iron ores during the iron production process

    Author : Abraham Judah Bumalirivu Muwanguzi; Andrey V Karasev; Henrik Saxèn; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; natural iron ore; iron production; characterization; physical and metallurgical properties; sinter; pellet; direct reduction; low temperature degradation; sample weight; sample positioning; microstructure; reduction degree; solid conversion; Volumetric Model; Grain Model; Random Pore Model; Muko; Uganda;

    Abstract : In the iron production processes, sinters and pellets are mostly used as raw materials due to their consistency with respect to physical and chemical properties. However, natural iron ores, as mined, are rarely used directly as a feed material for iron processing. READ MORE

  7. 5. Opportunities for Weight Reduction in Composite Marine Structures

    Author : Luis Felipe Sanchez Heres; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; material characterization; ultimate limit state; composites; lightweight design; non-crimp fabrics;

    Abstract : Composite marine structures are desirable for a variety of reasons. Compared to traditional steel structures, they enable the construction of vessels with lower fuel consumption, higher top speed, better stability, lower maintenance, higher cargo capacity, or combinations thereof.
