Using the nonlinear creep law proposed by Soderberg, closed-form solutions are derived for the relaxation of incompressible thick-walled spheres and cylinders in plane strain. These solutions involve series expressions which, however, converge very quickly. By simply ignoring these series expressions, extremely simple approximate solutions are obtained. Despite their simplicity these approximation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Benskörhet (osteoporos) är en sjukdom, som leder till att benstommen förlorar en del av sitt kalkinnehåll och sin styrka. Benbrott kan därigenom uppstå spontant eller vid lättare påfrestningar. Gastrektomi (kirurgiskt avlägsnade av magsäcken, GX) och ovariektomi (kirurgisk avlägsnade av äggstockarna, OVX) leder till benskörhet hos människa såväl som hos försöksdjur. MedBoth ovariectomy (OVX) and gastrectomy (GX) cause osteopenia in several animal species including humans. While the effect of OVX has been ascribed to estrogen deficiency, the underlying mechanism behind GX-induced osteopenia is poorly understood. Nutritional deficiencies, including lack of calcium and vitamin D, have been claimed to cause the osteopenia induced by GX. This thesis attempts to clari

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ben, brosk och mjukvävnad (utgörs av den tvärstrimmiga muskulaturen, fettväv och fibrös bindväv, men också av det perifera nervsystemet) är vävnader av mesenkymalt eller neuroektodermalt ursprung. De flesta tumörer som uppstår i dessa vävnader är godartade och blir därför ofta inte föremål för behandling, vilket gör det svårt att uppskatta incidensen i befolkningen. EnlBone and soft tissue tumors (BSTT) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms of mesenchymal and neuroectodermal origin. Although many BSTT are rare, it has become clear that BSTT are characterized by recurrent acquired chromosomal aberrations, and the general aim of this thesis have been to apply molecular genetic and molecular cytogenetic techniques to further characterize recurrent breakpoin

Human antibodies generated in vitro may be highly valuable for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. For a long time most human antibodies produced in vitro have been of the IgM isotype with rather low affinities. In this thesis a method for production of IgG switched antigen-specific human antibodies is presented. This is a two step protocol, in which the first step is a selection procedure of don
