Mammographic density in relation to breast cancer Tumor characteristics, mode of detection, and density assessments
Mammographic density reflects the composition of the breast tissue and can be measured by different methods. Mammography has a lower sensitivity in women with dense breasts, and women with dense breasts have a higher incidence of breast cancer than do women with non–dense breasts. Furthermore, …

Artificial Lateral Line Canal System for Underwater Disturbance Sensing
This dissertation describes a new mode of hydrodynamic sensing using a micromachined artificial lateral line canal system. As a potential alternative to sonar, it offers a passive mode of detection, which could allow for the realization of stealth monitoring capabilities. An example would be for …

Predicting Prognosis and Tamoxifen Response in Breast Cancer. With a special focus on contralateral breast cancer.
One of the great challenges in breast cancer treatment today is to customize adjuvant treatment to each patient’s individual needs. To do this it is necessary to learn more about the prognostic and treatment predictive factors that determine the risk of relapse and response to a certain mode of …

Modern Staging in Primary Breast Cancer-aspects of micrometastatic disease in bone marrow and molecular profiles in lymph node metastases
… disease with variations in the biological profile and subsequent clinical prognosis. Molecular mechanisms for tumour progression are currently being explored in scientific settings, suggesting parallel evolution of tumour cells at primary and metastatic locations. The molecular profiles could …

Characterizing the role of defects on the sensing performance of carbon nanotube and graphene based gas sensors
The major theme of this thesis is to investigate the influence of defects on the sensing mechanisms and performance of gas sensors made from films of carbon nanotubes, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene film, CVD graphene ribbons, and surfactant exfoliated graphene. The definition of defects …
