NAFEMS NORDIC Seminar: Improving Simulation

Computational Welding Mechanics, CWM, can not only be used for RSDP, Residual Stress and Distortion Prediction [1]. It can also be used for a broad range of applications such as remaining life time analyses of reactors, pressure vessels, boilers, furnaces, tubeand pipe systems. As well as the Manufacturing Engineering process of integrated metallic structures that is the engineering discipline ...

Correction: Plasma YKL-40 in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treated with First Line Oxaliplatin-Based Regimen with or without Cetuximab: RESULTS from the NORDIC VII Study

BACKGROUND We aim to test the hypothesis that high plasma YKL-40 is associated with short progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with first-line oxaliplatin and 5-flourouracil with or without cetuximab. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 566 patients in the NORDIC VII Study were randomized 1∶1∶1 to arm A (Nordic FLOX...

Impact of types of lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations on human cancer risk: results from Nordic and Italian cohorts.

The frequency of cells with structural chromosomal aberrations (CAs) in peripheral blood lymphocytes is the first genotoxicity biomarker that has shown an association with cancer risk. CAs are usually divided into chromosome-type (CSAs) and chromatid-type aberrations (CTAs), with different mechanisms of formation. From a mechanistic point of view, it is of interest to clarify whether the cancer...

Intrinsic and instrumental reciprocity: An experimental study

We experimentally test a repeated veto game: in each of an in…nite number of periods, Nature generates a pair of payo¤s, one for each player. Although the sum of the players’payo¤s is positive, one of the players may receive a negative payo¤. Players simultaneously decide whether to approve such a proposal. If either of the players vetoes the proposal, both players get zero; otherwise, they rec...
