A non-linear fracture mechanics model for adhesive joint strength analysis is presented. It is a unified theory that incorporates linear and non-linear stress analyses as well as linear elastic fracture mechanics as special cases. The bondline property is described by a complete stress-deformation response for combined bondline shear and tension, including gradual damage and strain softening to ze

This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of transcytosis as a bulk transfer mechanism for the passage of albumin from blood to tissue. Isolated rat lungs were continuously weighed and perfused with an albumin-serum buffer solution under strictly controlled hemodynamic conditions, which allowed measurements of microvascular pressure and of the capillary filtration coefficient (LpS). With the
Den yttersta länken bakom all form av samhällsutveckling är den enskilda människan, som mot bakgrund av sina värderingar och attityder fattar beslut om att handla på ett visst sätt och inte ett annat. I detta avsnitt kommer fokus för analysen av drivkrafter bakom konsumtion som leder till ökad energianvändning vara relationen mellan samhälleliga förutsättningar ovh individers attityder, beteende o
Data standards for quality registries should be evidence-based and follow guideline recommendations. To optimally monitor quality of care, not only patient-level variables, but also centre-level variables need to be included. Here we describe the development of variables to audit the structure and processes in cardiac rehabilitation for patients after myocardial infarction, and the resulting data
Background The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is widely used to assess exercise capacity across chronic health conditions, but is currently not useful to assess symptoms, as the scores do not account for the 6-min walk distance (6MWD). We aimed to 1) develop normative reference equations for breathlessness and leg discomfort intensity expressed as modified Borg (mBorg)/6MWD ratios; and 2) validate the equ
The application of technology to archaeology should be of great interest to many. In Chapter 1, entitled ‘Advancing Archaeological Research: the Contribution of Spatial Technologies’, Associate Professor Giacomo Landeschi of Lund University in Sweden, a specialist in archaeological computing, provides an overview of the main achievements gained through the use of new technologies in archaeology in
Nowadays, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have a dominant role in many subfields of biomedicine. Owing to their peculiar properties, they can be employed for magnetic separation, drug delivery, diagnostics, and hyperthermia treatments. However, these magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) suffer from low unit magnetization due to size constraints (up to 20-30 nm) to exhibit superparamagn
In this study, the physicochemical, textural, and sensory properties of high-moisture meat analogues (HMMA) prepared with hempseed protein concentrate (HPC), in combination with wheat gluten (WG), and chickpea protein concentrate (CPC), were investigated. The results showed that the protein materials exhibited different behaviours during processing and cooking. Mixing HPC with WG resulted in highe
The Sun is magnetically active and often produces eruptive events on different energetic and temporal scales. Until recently, the upper limit of such events was unknown and believed to be roughly represented by direct instrumental observations. However, two types of extreme events were discovered recently: extreme solar energetic particle events on the multi-millennial time scale and super-flares
Internationalization has become one of the main strategic goals of universities as part of their endeavors to prepare students for careers in a globalized world. However, the establishment of English-medium instruction (EMI) has raised concerns about the quality of teaching and learning, given that most stakeholders involved in the process are second language (L2) speakers of English. Therefore, a
Objectives: Global health challenges are complex and new approaches are pivotal. Engagement in arts and cultural activities is commonplace across different cultures, and research shows associations with benefits for health and wellbeing. Using the arts for health promotion and prevention of illness has increased worldwide. Study design: A population-based study. Methods: Data were obtained from th
