6. Long-term cardiovascular follow-up after preterm birth
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A large number of studies show that the risk of cardiovascular disease is increased in people born with low birth weight. LÄS MER
7. Epidemiological, mechanistic and genetic aspects of vascular ageing and arterial stiffness in the population
Sammanfattning : The core feature of vascular ageing is the age-associated stiffening of the large, elastic arteries, or arteriosclerosis. This results in a diminished volume-buffering function and is therefore central for the increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure seen with advancing age. LÄS MER
8. Foam modeling including pore gas interaction for crashworthiness analysis
Sammanfattning : Foams are used in vehicles for three main functions: enhancing comfort, e.g.soft foams used in seats cushions, energy absorbtion, e.g. LÄS MER
9. Processing and properties of thermoplastic composites containing cellulose nanocrystals or wood-based cellulose fibres
Sammanfattning : Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were surface modified with dialkylamines to increase the compatibility between the CNC and the polymeric matrix, and promising results were obtained, with a 300 % stiffness increase when the mixed dispersion was compression moulded on a laboratory scale. The manufacturing process was up-scaled using water-assisted mixing in a twin-screw extruder (TSE) followed by a second compounding step and injection moulding (IM). LÄS MER
10. Getting to grips with cartons : Interactions of carbonboard packages with an artificial finger
Sammanfattning : Packaging is an important part of most products in our modern world. It produces waste, but it also enables products to reach consumers safely and efficiently. Hence, the proper design of packaging is becoming increasingly important. Historically, cartonboard packages were designed for box compression strength. LÄS MER
