During a cardiac cycle the cardiac walls change between contracted and relaxed and the valves open and close in response to pressure changes. This master thesis is a study of the changes in heart movement pattern caused by intravenous injections of Ca2+
The aim of the current project was to develop software sensors which probe for important state parameters in batch and fed-batch cultivations and which enable to control processes in a more advanced and effective way. Software sensors are a potent tool to
The aim of the project was to modify polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces in order to minimize adsorption of proteins. PDMS is used in micro-fluidic devices that control the delivery of samples to a sensor chip in Biacore instrumentation. These instruments are used to
A capture step with protein A is the most common purification step in the downstream purification process of monoclonal antibodies. It is therefore of great importance to increase the knowledge of the interactions involved in this purification technique. The purpose of this
The important protein hormone insulin, responsible for different kind of functions in our body but mainly storage of nutrients, has for a long time been used for treatment of diabetic patients. This important protein is both physically and chemically unstable. Especially during
Gaze tracking means to detect and follow the direction in which a person looks. This can be used in for instance human-computer interaction. Most existing systems illuminate the eye with IR-light, possibly damaging the eye. The motivation of this thesis is to
Radio frequency (RF) lesioning and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are the two prevailing surgical treatments for movement disorders within the field of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. For RF-lesioning, a small volume of brain tissue is coagulated and knowledge of the lesion size
Turbulence is described by its main characteristics that are irregularity in time and space In hydromechanics, turbulence is referred to as chaotic movement superimposed on the flow of a fluid In the human body, turbulence typically arises in flows through heart valve
Methods for measuring deformation and motion of the human heart in-vivo are crucial in the assessment of cardiac function. Applications ranging from basic physiological research, through early detection of disease to follow-up studies, all benefit from improved methods of measuring the dynamics
Title: Simulation of Phase Contrast MRI Measurements from Numerical Flow Data Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) is a powerful tool for measuring blood flow and has a wide range of cardiovascular applications. Simulation of PC-MRI from numerical flow data would be useful
