  1. 1. Falls in people with dementia

    Författare :Staffan Eriksson; Lillemor Lundin-Olsson; Yngve Gustafson; Lars Gustafson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dementia; behavioural disturbances; accidental falls; risk factors; circumstances; analysis of fall predictors; male sex; walking difficulties; visual perception; Geriatrics and medical gerontology; Geriatrik och medicinsk gerontologi;

    Sammanfattning : Falls and concomitant injuries are common problems among large groups of the elderly population, leading to immobility and mortality. These problems are even more pronounced among people suffering from dementia. This thesis targets fall risk factors for people with dementia in institutions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Resonant Tunneling in Laterally Confined Quantum Structures

    Författare :Boel Gustafson; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gravitation; relativity; quantum mechanics; classical mechanics; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; Fysik; Physics; High peak-to-valley ratio; Lateral confinement; Quantum dots; Resonant tunneling; Self-assembled quantum dots; Schottky depletion; Buried metal gate; Electron transport; Magnetic-field dependence; Energy level width; Tunneling transistors; Mode coupling; statistical physics; thermodynamics; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; klassisk mekanik; kvantmekanik; relativitet; statistisk fysik; termodynamik; Technological sciences; Teknik; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Gustafson;

    Sammanfattning : In the thesis, three-dimensionally confined resonant tunneling structures were studied experimentally. Two approaches were used for obtaining quantum confinement: gate-defined lateral constriction of double barrier structures, and epitaxial growth of self-assembled quantum dots. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On the role of terrestrial ecosystems in a changing Arctic

    Författare :Adrian Gustafson; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Northern high latitudes; Arctic climate change; climate-vegetation feedbacks; shrubs; shrubification; treeline migration; LPJ-GUESS; RCA-GUESS; nitrogen; carbon; Northern high latitudes; Arctic climate change; climate-vegetation feedbacks; shrubs; shrubification; treeline migration; LPJ-GUESS; RCA-GUESS; Nitrogen; Carbon;

    Sammanfattning : The global temperature rise is proportional to the cumulative amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. This observation is consistent between climate models and historical observations. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Automation of Load Haul Dump machines : comparative performance analysis and maintenance modeling

    Författare :Anna Gustafson; Sunniva Haugen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The Load Haul Dump (LHD) machine and its operating environment create a complex system. Mine productivity depends on the operation of the LHDs and on the mining environment, including fragmentation, size of boulders, navigation techniques etc. Traditional navigation techniques require a lot of infrastructure to accommodate automatic operation.

  7. 5. Dependability assurance for automatic load haul dump machines

    Författare :Anna Gustafson; Mike Lipsett; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

    Sammanfattning : Load Haul Dump (LHD) machines are used in underground mines to load and transport ore and minerals. Loading and hauling blasted ore from drawpoint to dumping point constitute a significant portion of the production costs for mining companies. LÄS MER
