    Sammanfattning : The goals of this thesis are to evaluate quality of life (QoL) in adult patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in relation to population normative data, to construct a preference-weighted index (utility) from a disease-specific QoL measure and to assess it in a clinical context.The study included samples from the general population and patients with GHD from four European populations: England & Wales, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.

  3. 2. Towards adaptive mesh refinement in Nek5000

    Författare :Nicolas Offermans; Philipp Schlatter; Adam Peplinski; Paul Fischer; Chris Cantwell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Error estimators; mesh refinement; adaptivity; spectral element method; algebraic multigrid method; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : The development of adaptive mesh refinement capabilities in the field of computational fluid dynamics is an essential tool for enabling the simulation of larger and more complex physical problems. While such techniques have been known for a long time, most simulations do not make use of them because of the lack of a robust implementation. LÄS MER
