We performed two case-control studies on brain tumours diagnosed during 1 January 1997 to 30 June 2000 and 1 July 2000 to 31 December 2003, respectively. Living cases and controls aged 20-80 years were included. An additional study was performed on deceased cases with a malignant brain tumour using deceased controls. Pooled results for glioma yielded for ipsilateral use of mobile phone odds rat...

A new tool optimizes the placement of base stations for local wireless communications at company sites. It uses the latest in constraint-based programming technology.

BACKGROUND To study the association between use of wireless phones and meningioma. METHODS We performed a case-control study on brain tumour cases of both genders aged 18-75 years and diagnosed during 2007-2009. One population-based control matched on gender and age was used to each case. Here we report on meningioma cases including all available controls. Exposures were assessed by a questio...

A total of 293 living cases and 1172 controls were included. RESULTS There were 267 (91%) partic...

Digital European Cordless Telecommunication (DECT), as a standard for cordless indoor wireless communication in Europe, is widely used in hospitals, offices and factories. But its performance can be constrained by channel dispersion, and this can limit the use of DECT system in reflective environments. In this master thesis project, non-coherent equalization schemes are investigated. Different ...
