In this master thesis, a patient specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) \nomenclature{CFD}{Computational Fluid Dynamics} study has been done on the air flow in the human upper airways before and after surgical intervention. The patient studied is a 67 years old man who went from having moderate...
Wireless communication is one of the fastest growing technologies in process automation and now targets main stream applications. One such application is a safety application; it is unique in its own rights, as any problem with safety related equipment, network or system can compromise on-site...

In order to prevent such accidents, a dynamic approach to risk management...
A three-dimensional defect study was carried out on CaTi0.9Fe0.1O3−d ceramic membrane material as a model study for the use of computed tomography in both microstructural analysis and mechanical characterization. The study demonstrated many advantages over the commonly used fractographic study which...
