Introduction The complexity of the process and outcome of vocational rehabilitation yearns for a multifaceted approach. This article investigates whether importance of participation in major life areas for men and women predicts the outcome of vocational rehabilitation. Methods This longitudinal...

The segmentation of tubular tree structures like vessel systems in volumetric datasets is of vital interest for many medical applications. In this paper we present a novel, semi-automatic method for blood vessel segmentation and centerline extraction, by tracking the blood vessel tree from a user...

A set-up for tensile testing in the mushy zone allowing for studies of semi-solid mechanical behavior is available at SINTEF. A hot-tearing experimental set-up has recently been developed allowing for investigation of the hot-tearing susceptibility of industrial aluminium alloys and effects of e.g...

The oligosaccharide OligoG, an alginate derived from seaweed, has been shown to have anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm properties and potentiates the activity of selected antibiotics against multi-drug resistant bacteria. The ability of OligoG to perturb fungal growth and potentiate conventional...

In the past two decades, centres of excellence (CoE) and other ‘research excellence initiatives’ likely to increase the cumulative advantages and stratification of science, have been implemented in many countries. Based on empirical studies of CoE in four Nordic countries, this paper examines how...

Evaluation and validation methodologies are integral parts of Air Traffic Management (ATM). They are well understood for safety, environmental and other business cases for which operational validation guidelines exist which are well defined and widely used. In contrast, there are no accepted...
