Life extension of offshore oil and gas platforms has become common as new technology has made available more oil and gas. It is often profitable to continue using an aging platform instead of deploying a new one. A common practice in quantitative risk analyses performed on aging platforms is to use constant failure rates for components and ignore a potential aging effect. This thesis intends to ex

En patients utskrivning från en vårdavdelning fungerar inte alltid optimalt. För att den fortsatta vården i hemmet ska bli effektiv och säker krävs ett välfungerande samarbete mellan sjuksköterskan på vårdavdelning och distriktsköterskan i hemsjukvården i samband med utskrivningen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka distriktssköterskans upplevelse av samarbetet med sjuksköterskan på vårdavdelnin

This thesis consists of two parts. In the rst part, the iterative data-adaptive BIAA spectral estimation technique was extended to estimate lateral blood velocities using ultrasound scanners. The BIAA method makes no assumption on samples depth or sampling pattern, and therefore allows for transmission in duplex mode imaging. The technique was examined on a realistic Field II simulation data set,
