Hemodynamic Study of a Patient-Specific Intracranial Aneurysm: Comparative Assessment of Tomographic PIV, Stereoscopic PIV, In Vivo MRI and Computational Fluid Dynamics

Introduction: Wall shear stress (WSS) is associated with the growth and rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. To reveal their underlying connections, many image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies have been conducted. However, the methodological validations using both in vivo medical imaging and in vitro optical flow measurements...

Are stirring and sonication pre-dispersion methods equivalent for in vitro toxicology evaluation of SiC and TiC?

The evolution of the particle size distribution and the surface composition of silicon carbide and titanium carbide nanoparticle (NP) dispersions were studied. The pre-dispersions were prepared using two commonly used protocols for dispersion: stirring and sonication. Two dispersants were investigated (water and Pluronic F108 1 %) at two stages:...

Housing wealth in retirement strategies: Towards understanding and new hypotheses

What is the current role of housing wealth in household retirement strategies across the European Union member states? And could this role be extended? This question is often raised by researchers and policymakers, since governments search for ways to cut pensions expenditure in response to ageing populations and the global financial crisis....

The role of owner-occupation in retirement in eight European countries

In many European countries ageing of the population puts pressure on collective welfare provision for the elderly. It is assumed that households increasingly have to take care of own financial means or rely more on family members in retirement. For the owner-occupiers, their dwelling – more specifically their housing equity – is usually the...

Home ownership as a financial resource? Household's perceptions in eight European countries

Home ownership Beyond asset and security. Perceptions of housing related security and insecurity in eight European countries

This book is the conclusion of a body of research that started with a workshop held at the University of York in October 2000, and which resulted in the book Globalisation and home ownership. Experiences in eight member states of the European Union (Doling & Ford, 2003). The collated information lifted thinking beyond politics, linking...

Home ownership beyond asset and security: Perceptions of housing related security and insecurity in eight European countries

The meaning of housing tenure in eight European countries (draft version)

Workshop 3. Session A. Abstract. Is home ownership the European dream? Since decades there is a discussion in housing literature on the meaning of housing tenure. Is there an innate preference to own as Saunders suggests, or can renting also satisfy basic needs of security? This paper examines the differences and similarities in the meaning of...
