11. Mathematical Optimization of HDR Brachytherapy
Sammanfattning : One out of eight deaths throughout the world is due to cancer. Developing new treatments and improving existing treatments is hence of major importance. In this thesis we have studied how mathematical optimization can be used to improve an existing treatment method: high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. LÄS MER

The following is discussed in this study. LÄS MER
13. Effect Oriented Planning in Military Mission Support Systems : Models and Heuristic Approaches
Sammanfattning : Today there are many aspects of model based planning, probably much more than for just 20 years ago. Today data is not the problem, data is everywhere, but the big issue is to understand how to gain advantage of data in decision making - a growing focus is now on modeling!This work is devoted to this task and can be seen as a three part study.

14. Nutritional aspects of behaviour and biology during pregnancy and postpartum
Sammanfattning : BackgroundA well-balanced nutritious diet is important for the pregnant woman and the growing fetus, as well as for their future health. Poor nutrition results from both over-consumption of energy-rich foods which can lead to a higher weight gain than is healthy and under-nutrition of essential nutrients. LÄS MER
15. The effect of mechanical ventilation on abdominal organs : Analysing the role of PEEP and perfusion
Sammanfattning : Background: The effect of mechanical ventilation on abdominal organs is not well understood and investigated yet. Previous studies, using an animal sepsis-like model, found an association between mechanical ventilation (MV) and abdominal edema and inflammation. LÄS MER
