  1. 1. Modelling of muscular force induced by non-isometric contraction

    Författare :Natalia Kosterina; Anders Eriksson; Michael Günther; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Skeletal muscle; Muscular force; Concentric contractions; Eccentric con- tractions; History effect; Force modification; Muscle model; Musculoskeletal model;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of the study was to investigate and simulate skeletal muscleforce production during and after isometric contractions, active muscle lengtheningand active muscle shortening. The motivation behind this work was to improve thedominant model of muscle force generation based on the theories of Hill from 1938. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Semiconductor Nanowires: Characterization and surface modification

    Författare :Sofie Yngman; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; semiconducting nanowire; atomic force microscopy; Scanning tunneling microscopy; X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy; Scanning Probe Microscopy; Nanowires; Sveptunnelmikroskopi; Atomkraftsmikroskopi; XPS; Halvledarfysik; nanotrådar;

    Sammanfattning : The topic of III-V nanowires is still, after more than two decades, a growing and lively research area. The areas of application are wide and contain such important topics as energy harvesting, cheap and efficient lighting, high efficiency detectors and new types of electronics. III-V materials offer properties superior to the widely used Si. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Human–Robot Interaction Based on Motion and Force Control

    Författare :Martin Karlsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotics; Machine Learning; Force Control; Motion Control;

    Sammanfattning : Industrial robots typically require detailed programming and carefully configured work cells to perform well. The large engineering effort implicates high cost and long preparation time, and this is the major obstruction when mediating tasks to robots. The research in this thesis therefore aims to make robot programming faster and more accessible. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Nanocelluloses - surface modification and use in functional materials

    Författare :Michaela Salajková; Lars Berglund; Gunnar Westman; Anna Finne; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanocellulose; surfactant; surface modification; papermaking process; quaternary ammonium salt;

    Sammanfattning : Cellulose nanocomposites offer interesting potential in terms of improved properties and new functionalities compared with microcomposites. Preparation from colloidal suspensions is promising, since high reinforcement content is possible and a wide range of constituents can be used. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Older people's home modification process

    Författare :Karin Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ageing in place; agency; client-centred; empowerment; possibilities for action; home modifications; occupational therapy; older people; place integration; practical rationalities; service organisation;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the thesis was to provide theoretical and empirical knowledge of interactions involved in the encounters between older persons experiencing activity limitations in their home environments and the service organisation related to home modification services, in the context of one Swedish municipality. A transactional perspective was used, meaning that the focus was on driving forces and relationships connecting different aspects and actors involved in older people s encounters with the service organisation related to home modification services.
