  1. 1. Abdominal aortic aneurysm : gender aspects on risk factors and treatment

    Författare :Emma Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a common condition in the Western world and an important cause of sudden death. Recent research emphasizes that although women are inherently less likely to develop AAA, those who do develop AAA seem to have a more unfavorable aneurysm disease than men with higher rupture risk and also exhibit higher standardized mortality ratio after intervention.

  3. 2. Molecular regulation of embryo development in Norway spruce : polar auxin transport and transcription factors

    Författare :Emma Larsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Early events in embryo development are critical for the plant body formation. During this phase the apical-basal axis, the radial symmetry, and the primary meristems are specified. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) and the root apical meristem (RAM) will subsequently give rise to all above-ground and below-ground tissues. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Passenger kinematics in evasive maneuvers

    Författare :Emma Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; volunteer kinematics; Active Human Body Model; pre-crash; active muscles; occupant variability; evasive maneuvers;

    Sammanfattning : In situations that might lead to a vehicle crash, drivers often perform an evasive maneuver, such as braking or steering, in an attempt to avoid a crash. If a crash was not avoided, the maneuver could influence the injury outcome by altering the occupant’s position. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Thermoresponsive cellulose-based composites by polymer modification

    Författare :Emma Larsson; Anna Carlmark Malkoch; Lian Hutchings; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The interest in utilizing cellulose based materials has grown rapidly in recent years, due to the growing environmental concerns about utilizing fossil based material. One potential application of cellulose is in thermoresponsive materials, which are attracting attention due to their ability of altering conformation when exposed to changes in external temperature.

  7. 5. Towards a human body model for prediction of vehicle occupant kinematics in omni-directional pre-crash events

    Författare :Emma Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pre-Crash Manoeuvres; Shoulder Muscle Control; Active Human Body Model;

    Sammanfattning : As the vehicle fleet becomes more equipped with crash avoidance systems, the proportion of crashes preceded by evasive manoeuvres is expected to increase. In an evasive manoeuvre, occupant position and posture can be influenced by the induced loading. Therefore, there is a need to predict the occupant response from evasive manoeuvres. LÄS MER
