Normalization of Magnetic Field Effects: Towards Quantitative Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging

In magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) imaging superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NP) are used as contrast agents and a time-varying external magnetic field acts to move the particles and thereby the nanoparticle-laden tissue. Recently we proposed a frequency and phase sensitive algorithm to reduce motion artifacts. However, the method is not quantitative as the particle movement induced is d

Timber/Glass Adhesive Bonds : Experimental testing and evaluation methods

Both timber and glass are materials that have aesthetically pleasing properties. An appealing idea is to combine them to overcome the drawbacks and utilise the beneficial mechanical properties. Adhesive bonding with an appropriate adhesive could provide a uniform stress distribution at the transition between the materials.This report presents a study of three different adhesives, silicone, acrylat

Postural Control in Single-limb Stance. In Individuals with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Uninjured Controls

Popular Abstract in Swedish Skador i knäleden är vanligt förekommande bland unga fysiskt aktiva personer. I västvärlden drabbas årligen ca 1 per 1000 invånare av skada i knät. I ungefär en tredjedel av dessa knäskador drabbas främre korsbandet. I samband med främre korsbandsskada, är det vanligt med skador på menisker, kollateralligament och brosk. Ruptur av främre korsbandet, med eller utan andraThe overall aims of this work were to evaluate a method of assessing postural control, measured by balance in single-limb stance on a force platform, and to study balance in single-limb stance in individuals with non-operated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in comparison with that of uninjured controls. Ninety-nine patients (99) with ACL injury and 141 uninjured subjects were included in

Hypertension in a defined population. The Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hypertoni (högt blodtryck) och typ 2 diabetes (åldersdiabetes) är vanligt förekommande sjukdomar i Sverige. Ingen av sjukdomarna ger inledningsvis några särskilda symptom. Det är dock viktigt att upptäcka och behandla dessa tillstånd, eftersom de ger upphov till ökad sjukdom och till överdödlighet i hjärt-kärlsjukdomar såsom hjärtinfarkt, hjärtsvikt och slaganfall. FöreTo examine cardiovascular disease risk factors, control of hypertension and survival in patients with hypertension treated in primary care, patients with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes were surveyed for cardiovascular disease risk factors and treatment 1992-1993. For reference, a random population sample from the same community was surveyed 1993-1994. During 1998, antihypertensive prescriptio

Approximation of Infinitely Divisible Random Variables with Application to the Simulation of Stochastic Processes

This thesis consists of four papers A, B, C and D. Paper A and B treats the simulation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The research presented therein was triggered by the fact that there were not any efficient implementations of the higher order methods for simulating SDEs. So in practice the higher order methods required at least the same amount of work as the Euler method to obtain

Utbildningsvetenskaplig forskning vid Lunds universitet

Lärarhögskolan i Malmö var en del av Lunds universitet fram till 1998, då den inordnades i nystartade Malmö högskola. I samarbete med Högskolan Kristianstad blev Lunds universitet 2011 återigen ansvarigt för en lärarutbildning, en ämneslärarutbildning som startade med examenstillstånd i ämnena engelska, historia, samhällskunskap och svenska. Föreliggande antologi syftar till att spegla utbildnings

Execution trace graph analysis of dataflow programs: Bounded buffer scheduling and deadlock recovery using model predictive control

Execution trace graph analysis of dataflow programs has been demonstrated to be an effective way for exploring and optimizing the design space of many core applications. In this work a novel transformation from the execution trace graph to an event driven linear system is proposed. It is also illustrated how the trace space of can be effectively reduced and well known system control techniques can

Plasticized Poly (lactic acid) Films - Preparation and Properties

The development of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources is of importance in order to prevent the depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere caused by the commodity plastics of today. However, to be able to replace these non-environmentally friendly materials, production costs of biodegradable polymers have to be decreased and their physica

Physical Characterization of Actinide Particles - A Study on Novel Techniques for Radiological and Nuclear Safeguard Investigations

This thesis presents a study of advanced analytical techniques, for the characterization of actinide particles originating from the non-peaceful use of nuclear technology and from international inspections of the nuclear fuel cycle associated with non-proliferation agreements. The thesis is based on five papers, which will be referred to by Paper I-V in the text. Individual particle analysis has s

Hem sjuka hem : En verklig konstruktion och dess sociala bestämningar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje samhälle och var tid har sina sjukdomar. Karakteristiskt för dagens västerländska, senmoderna samhälle är den 'diffusa ohälsan'. Gemensamt har dessa fenomen flytande diagnoskriterier, symptomens vaga och undflyende karaktär samt frånvaron av medicinskt accepterade förklaringar till deras uppkomst. Ett exempel på denna typ av ohälsa är sjuka hus-syndromet (SBS). DEach society, culture and era has its own illnesses. Characteristic of the late modern, western society of today are 'diffuse' or 'medically unexplained' syndromes. These phenomena have in common a vague criteria for diagnosis, a subjective and elusive character of the symptoms and a lack of medically accepted explanations for the symptoms described. One example of such a diffuse syndrome is the s

Exit choice in fire emergencies - Influencing choice of exit with flashing lights

Fire accidents and evacuation experiments have revealed that people often use familiar exits in fire emergencies. However, the design of emergency exits has also been shown to impact people’s choice of exit. In the present research, the use of flashing lights to direct people to emergency exits is explored in a series of experiments in both buildings and road tunnels. Recommendations concerning ho
