  1. 11. Simulation of individual cells in flow

    Författare :Lailai Zhu; Luca Brandt; Michael Graham; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrodynamic interaction; swimming microorganisms; capsule; Stokes flow; finite element method; boundary integral method; general geometry Ewald method; spectral element method; viscoelastic fluid; cellular deformation; flow cytometry; cell sorting; microrheology; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, simulations are performed to study the motion ofindividual cells in flow, focusing on the hydrodynamics of actively swimming cells likethe self-propelling microorganisms, and of passively advected objects like the red bloodcells. In particular, we develop numerical tools to address the locomotion ofmicroswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries, as well as the motion ofdeformable capsules in micro-fluidic flows.

  3. 12. Happy with the method? : Sexual function changes in young women using contraception

    Författare :Agota Malmborg; Mats Hammar; Jan Brynhildsen; Alkistis Skalkidou; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Sexuality and contraception are closely linked topics. In theory, hormonal contraception use might affect female sexual function in both positive and negative directions. Some women experience and report adverse sexual function changes while they use hormonal contraception while others report no or positive changes. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Parental Perspectives on Preschool Children’s Lifestyle : quantitative and qualitative aspects

    Sammanfattning : Children’s lifestyle has changed significantly during the recent decades, with an increasing prevalence of obesity as one outcome. Parents are usually the most influential people in young children’s lives. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Municipal Energy Planning : Scope and Method Development

    Författare :Jenny Stenlund Nilsson Ivner; Olof Hjelm; Lena Neij; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy planning; energy systems; environmental assessment; decision-making; participation; Other industrial engineering and economics; Övrig industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : Swedish municipalities are required to produce a municipal energy plan for their energy supply and use. Whether energy planning is suitable to manage local energy systems, however, is subject to debate. This thesis maps municipal energy planning: the scopes of energy plans and whether goals stated in energy plans are fulfilled. LÄS MER

  7. 15. A Critical Review of the Observational Method

    Författare :Johan Spross; Stefan Larsson; Fredrik Johansson; Joakim Jeppsson; Lars Rosén; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rock mechanics; observational method; Eurocode 7; reliability analysis; dam safety; tunnelling; system reliability; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Building a sustainable structure in soil or rock that satisfies all predefined technical requirements implies choosing a rational and effective construction method. An important aspect is how the performance of the structure is verified. LÄS MER
